    '04 pulley install q?

    I'm not exactly sure what your issue is, but it seems like you should have a shop do it. I am guessing that the water pump pulley was close because you have to replace the stock crank pulley first. The new one is smaller so it won't be right up against the new and bigger water pump pulley. No...

    Bleeding cooling system after flush ( very important)

    Last time I changed my coolant I tried running the engine with the cap off. When it got up to operating temp coolant was bubbling out all over the place, so I stopped doing that. I just kept topping it off after driving it the next couple days until it stayed full. Does anyone else have this...

    brake flush question

    www.bullittarchive.com has a good writeup on brake fluid change. I used the ATE Superblue fluid, which was a different color than my greenish fluid so I could tell.

    where can i buy Royal Purple 75w140?

    Got mine at Napa for $10.50 per quart. If you want to talk about overpriced try buying Motorcraft gear oil at $20 per quart. Plus you have to buy friction modifier which you do not with RP.

    Changing tranny oil

    RP FAQ on their site says you can use MAX ATF or their Synchromax for Mercon spec. You could give their customer service a call and see what the difference is, but either one is fine. Their tech was pretty good the one time I called. Having said that I use Ford Mercon ATF in my T-45...its...

    Belt Tensioner & Idler Pulley

    Changing the idler pulley is about as easy as it gets. Don't have to take the belt off or anything. Take it off and put the new one on and torque to 20 ft lbs or just tighten it with a socket wrench...just don't go gorilla on it. I wouldn't mess with the tensioner if you know that its the...

    Go to the track? or get a dyno?

    Track for sure in your case. The track I have been to is about $20 or less to race nights as much as you can.

    HELP!!! Ford Customer Service problem with manual transmission

    This is probably a mute point in your case, but the best way to get something fixed after warranty is to raise some complaint about it while under warranty...even if the dealer says its nothing as they often do. Then a little ways down the road you have a leg to stand on. Without any...

    Oil pressure guage

    When I start my '99 the oil pressure guage goes right up to a little past center as normal. I have had the car forever, but noticed recently that after driving a little the guage moves back a hair...still at or just past the middle, but it definately moves a little. If I turn the car off and...

    what brand/style cat-back should i get for the 01 GT?

    Ahhh...you remind me of myself convincing the wife I need a shifter and that is it. I actually believed that myself at the time. The shifter then became the catback....then the midpipe...then pulleys...then the tb/plenum...tuner....each time she gets more pissed. Good luck bud.

    HELP!!! MAC o/r H-pipe sounds like crap...

    Before you get too worked up, have someone else drive you car around so you can hear it from outside the car. When I first installed my prochamber with the flowpaths it took me a little time to get used to it. I love it a year later and I believe the sound does improve some over time. I'm not...

    Diablo Predator Help

    Just to throw it out there...I run the Factory Tune(which is your stock tune) with timing maxed. That seems to work better for my car and I have all bolt-ons except gears and cams on my '99 GT manual. It ran strong at the track last summer with that setup...minus the fact that my 60ft's were...

    Considering 99-01 4.6 Opinions from owners?

    102k on my '99 also...nice. No problems that I didn't cause myself.

    Predator Tuner Question

    You cannot accurately guage your air/fuel with the predator alone. You can add or remove fuel at wide open throttle, but you don't really know what your baseline A/F is so it is guesswork. You can get a wideband O2 sensor, which I think runs about $400 and then you can tell what it is...

    Where to order Motorcraft PCV?

    I got a motorcraft pcv last summer from randy and it had an elbow. However, it was a little different than the one I originally had(1999) as it had two outlets and a cap to cover one of them. Since I have the JLT intake the new elbow was too tall and hit the intake pipe. So, I pulled to old...

    What fluid for the rear end of an 01 GT?

    I just changed over to Royal Purple 75w140 in my '99 with 102k yesterday. I'm guessing that I had 80-90 non-synth in there because I have no tag saying otherwise. It was very black, but smelled just like the new royal purple. I wasn't 100% sure since I had some rear end work done, which is...

    What fluid for the rear end of an 01 GT?

    I see what you mean...I was just always confused by the paper manual I have. Now I see why. Given what you say I presume I have 75-140 in there since they replaced some bearing that was making noise in my rear about 4 years ago. It made a constant grinding noise from the rear end...I want...

    What fluid for the rear end of an 01 GT?

    Alright...it makes some sense now. I talked to a guy in Ford parts and apparantly 99' GT with original factory rear-ends can use 80-90 because of what the clutches(trac loc I guess) are made out of. However, sometime after that they upgraded the clutches to kevlar, which requires the 75-140...

    What fluid for the rear end of an 01 GT?

    I guess it is possible they mis-printed the 99' car manuals(or at least mine). Since it does say it never needs to be replaced I figured it was synthetic, but then the manual calls for 80-90. Never made sense to me really. Still doesn't.... Thanks for the info...though.
