    Pulley Install

    I advise going to ford and picking up a new crankshaft bolt for $5. I used that instead of the one steeda gave me. Both should work though. I definately wouldn't re-use a bolt, though. You shouldn't need sealant around the bolt. Just the keyway slot. Not alot either.

    Pulley Install

    There are specific torque specs for tightening the crankshaft bolt, which are in the steeda install instructions. I hope you are strong and have the right tools. The crankshaft bolt was VERY hard to get off on my car('99 GT with 95k). Actually had to use the torque wrench to get it off for...

    Pulley Install

    Well. Just installed mine on monday and no leaking. PITA, btw. You are supposed to put a dab of RTV sealant in the keyhole slot of the new crank pulley to keep oil from leaking out. Ask if they did that. That is about all it could be. They SHOULD have torqued it to spec...you hope.

    Need HELP

    You should be fine. But I don't work for Tremec or Steeda either. I'd feel comfortable with mine out.

    Need HELP

    It shouldn't touch during normal shifting, but when you shift really hard in racing applications you could possibly hit the stops. When setting them if you push really hard on the shifter it should just barely touch the stop. Of course, these stops aren't really needed unless you shift like a...

    DO i need THIS????

    Just installed Steeda's pullies last night on my '99. The crank bolt was a HUGE PITA to get off. I couldn't get it off, but my neighbor managed to finally get it off with brute strengh and talking to it a little. He had to resort to using his torque wrench for the additional leverage. I...

    best plenum?

    The dragon 75mmTB/Plenum combo is really nice. Just put one on my '99 GT with a JLT RAI...nice setup.

    transmission wine/sound

    That noise is normal for an aftermarket shifter. No noise reducing rubber in there like stock.

    Mac Cold Air Intake....question

    Sounds like a hole for the temp sensor, which I know 99 and 00 GTs have, but don't think 2004s do. There should be some sort of plug or something with the kit to fill the hole since you don't have a temp sensor. You don't want unmetered air getting in there.

    Anyone running a ProChamber'd Off Road H

    I personally really like my prochamber with the MAC flowpath catback. However, the price has gone up crazy on those prochambers. I got lucky and snagged one from RPM Outlet for $200 or less I think and a few months later they are $260 or so. If you don't have the extra $100, then just go with...

    Installed The Predator And Maxed Out Timing

    I haven't had any problems with timing maxed on my '99. Just make sure you run the high octane. With everything turned off, you can't miss pinging at WOT in my opinion. I tried leaning up the fuel with timing maxed and heard pinging around 3500-4500k WOT, so I put it back to original predator...

    My car is F'ED UP!

    I did the exact same thing with my '99 GT when it was pretty new. Nothing appeared to be wrong, but I ended up having to get some differential work, clutch packs, etc. replaced. Luckily, Ford did this all under warranty, no questions asked, and I'm not sure exactly what they did its been so...

    How to change manual trans fluid

    Excellent point. Guess its a judgement call. Maybe we need a "What is dogging it?" thread. Ok not really, but it would be interesting.

    How to change manual trans fluid

    That's ok. I'm at 94k and have never changed the tranny fluid. Getting ready to though. No problems with my T45 so far and I'm sticking with the stock Motorcraft Mercon in there. Keep in mind that I didn't start modding my car until the last year, so I never really dogged it. If you dog...

    Please help, Spark Advance w/Predator

    Agreed. I have run my '99 GT with both ranges maxed at +10% and didn't hear any detonation. I have basic intake and exhaust mods. Should be pretty safe. Right now I'm running the factory tune with timing maxed...don't ask me why I've just been trying to compare it against the predator tune...

    How important is tire rotation?

    I rotate every other oil change or so and my tires wear great. Try never rotating your tires and you will be buying two new front tires well before you need to. Even if you did it every 8-10k that is better than nothing by far. Of course if you do burnouts all the time it doesn't much matter...

    Magnaflow vs. Mac and everything in between...

    http://www.mustangworld.com/ourpics/sounds/sounds.htm You can listen to just the MAC catback here, with and without the prochamber. I had the catback with just the stock midpipe on my '99 GT and loved it...sounds just like the clip. Now, I have the ProChamber mid-pipe and it is much louder...
