    Need Some Help!

    Hey all, I don't post on here too much with life being so busy, but I'm needing some help from you guys! I know the power of Stang ownership will help me succeed! There's a dirt racing magazine coming out that is specifically for us "lower" level guys. They travel around and highlight the...

    Spark plugs, self change or Ford change?

    I've got about 109k miles on my '03 GT. Haven't changed the plugs but it probably wouldn't be a bad deal. I've been aware of the plug issue which is why I've been hesitant to change them myself all this time. I'm contemplating taking it to a local dealer in the event that the plug blows...

    Banana in the tail pipe...!

    How much water could you have sprayed up your tailpipes just washing your car? Plus they'd have to get through the muffler too. Sounds like something else to me... Maybe the cats are clogged up?

    Green O/D Off Light Blinking on 02 Mustang GT

    My F350's started flashing after I did a tranny cooler install. One of the hoses came off and dumped 5quarts of tranny fluid out before I got it pulled over. Could definitely be low fluid.

    Hole in CAI pipe

    Just noticed today a nice 1" slit in the pipe of my CAI. I'm assuming it some how managed to rub against the inside fender. Nice coat of grey dust all over the MAF. I guess this would be why it sometimes ran a little rough after being parked for a bit and started to use oil and I couldn't...

    Vibration at 90+ MPH

    Just found out the right, front wheel is bent when they balanced it with the new tires... I'm not sure who how it got bent though. I'm guessing when the caliper seized it got the wheel so hot it caused it to warp...drove it 100 miles before I knew it had seized up and boiled the fluid.

    Oil leak...can't find it

    It has been doing it about a year now. I parked the car while I was in Afghanistan and when I came back it started doing it after a few months or so. At first I just assume it was from where I had spilled oil on the valve cover and it was running down the back of the motor. There is...

    Rear End Issues

    I have 3.73's with a rebuilt tranny and the builders put in the lowest 5th gear you can get (0.74) and I turn around 2500-2600 at 70 and 3k on the nose at 80. Sounds like you have stock 3.27's with the .62 5th gear ratio. :) Here's a gear calculator...

    Oil leak...can't find it

    Nothing's been taken off the motor except the transmission, starter, plenum, and the intake. I don't see any leaks on the timing cover though. No smoke either. I've tried to duplicate it to where I smell oil then pull over immediately and look for it but don't see any. It's not burning oil...

    Oil leak...can't find it

    I had the tranny out to replace clutch and it was doing it before then and no signs of oil from rear main. I don't think it's burning oil because there is no smoke at all. I think it's just leaking it out somewhere. Even if I get on it hard there's no smoke (someone driving behind me)...

    Oil leak...can't find it

    I have what I assume to be an oil leak. It loses a random amount of oil, depending on how I drive it. I can't find the leak though. I can smell oil if I am on the gas to say 3500-4000 RPM then have to get on the brakes hard. On occasion if I get to 4000 RPM and just let the car idle back...

    Serpentine belt rub and pulley squeal

    I replaced an idler pulley today because it sounded like it was squealing. It would squeal really bad at startup and then go away when the engine got warm. It was also worse on days where there was a lot of moisture in the air (fog) or it was raining. When I got it off I spun it on my finger...
