    Coil Isolators

    Mustang lost power after 4.10

    If it didn't act up until 1 or 2 days after the gears/modified tune install, I would not think it's in the tune.

    Muffler Mod for appearance

    I like it. My corsa's have been bugging me for four years. Guess it's time for a re-fresh. Good job!

    Blower Resvoir 2006 saleen leaking through cap

    This is not an uncommon problem with the early reservoirs. The problem is that the inner edge of the reservoir neck is too thick for the cap and gasket to seal properly (the fill hole diameter is too small). One fix is to add a second gasket and the cap will seat and seal. The second is the...

    FUEL LEVEL LOW DTE ODO DATA ERR And CHECKING CHARGING SYSTEM

    Sometimes the battery has enough juice to run the accessories but not enough cranking amps to start the car. Check your battery cables and if you're still convinced that it's not the battery then the only other thing I can think of is the neutral safety switch if you're an auto tranny or the...

    FUEL LEVEL LOW DTE ODO DATA ERR And CHECKING CHARGING SYSTEM

    Your alternator might be shot and the car was running on battery until it was finally drained. Now you also might have a dead battery.

    No more FRPP 4.10s?!

    I think FRPP had two versions of the 4.10 gear set - the g410A and g410M. The "A" version is made by Visteon and the "M" version was made by Motive. The Motive gears had issues with gear whine and I think FRPP finally is getting rid of them. If you go on the site and search for M-4209-G410A...

    What do i need to know about S197's

    First off, I think the general consensus is that you won't need to "dive" into a shortblock if your goal is a street/strip car under 450 rwhp. Above that and things can get iffy. Unlike your '87 GT, the S197 chassis is pretty stiff so you won't need sub-frame stiffeners or even stut tower...

    Recall 08C02--434,593 vehicles affected

    There's really no letter stating that your vehicle has been fixed. If you have not received a recall mailer, take your car to an authorized Ford service department and they will enter your VIN into their system; it should come back that your car needs the TSB repair. After they upgrade your...

    Limited slip recommendations

    The ring and pinion gears are separate from the LSD. You do not have to buy a new t-lock.

    Limited slip recommendations

    This is not a commentary on who is right or wrong; its simply what I know about testing for limited slip differentials: First, the direction in which the wheels will spin depends on whether the car is in neutral or not. In neutral with both wheels in the air, if you spin one, the other will...

    Cigarette smell removal

    You might also want to change the cabin air filter that's located behind the firewall under the hood on the passenger side. If the filter is dirty or clogged you might be recycling stale air when the windows are up.

    Hurst S/T not sure how I like it..

    I don't want to get in the middle of a heated discussion between people defending their choices and I think we should get back on topic to help the OP make a decision. That being said, here's some exerpts of posts on another forum by George of MGW, who not only owns the company but also...

    Failed inspection

    They don't make them for the 07-up Mustangs because the PCM was changed. Brent at Brenspeed used to sell them for 06 'Stangs like yours. If he doesn't have them anymore, try these guys: http://www.lightningforceperformance.com/bbk-mil-eliminators-199607-mustang-p-402.html Remember, you...
