    OT- You MUST see this

    Thanks for the post Paul, every American needs to reminded of this whereever, whenever, and however. As far as I'm concerned they can show this video at my funeral as a reminder to all there. Not too mention, you specified that this was OT in the title, so no one had to check it out if they...

    No A/C...why?

    Only thing that confuses me trueblue is that when my switch was bad, the fan still blew air...just hot air. Seeing as how yours is not blowing at all,,,leads me to believe something else is the problem. Actually,,playing mustang armchair QB, sounds like two separate problems. One is causing...

    No A/C...why?

    Check your freon level first, like they said, if it is too low, or too high, the pressure switch will keep your AC from coming on. If freon is ok, and compressor seems to be engaging, then bypass the switch quickly like they said. Just replaced my switch two weeks ago, 16 dollar part at...

    What a loss! What would you do?

    If the frames bent I'd write her off and start saving for another, glad to hear you are ok though, could have been very serious.

    buyin an old 95

    Yeah, sounds nice to me too. Run a compression check and see what you got? If you can avoid builidng up the motor now, you can replace other parts that may be worn (steering components, suspension, ect) Nice to hear you got the car though.

    Tempermental Fog Light Switch

    When I bought my car I had the same thing, ended up pulling the switch out and seeing how someone had spilled soda on the switch. After a good cleaning, it has worked fine ever since.

    Poor MPG

    Hold on now, I'm drinking me some white russians now, so let me think about this :banana: I did not change the speedo gear, I used the Electronic SpeedCal by Dallasmustang for the cluster calibration. My Car 1 Mile = .9 Odometer Miles 10 Miles = 9 Odometer Miles 100 Miles = 90 Odometer...

    Poor MPG

    Hey 1105, just for laughs, make sure 1 mile on the odometer = 1 mile. I know with mine, 3:73's with speed cal, Each 9/10's of a mile= 1 mile. Thus, I'm actually getting better gas mileage than what my Odometer is telling me. For every 100 miles my odometer logs, its missing 10. Check via the...

    Broken Odometer Gear

    Dont sweat it man, everyone I talk to says the gear out of any of the v6 clusters works just fine, and there are plenty of them in junk yards. Check out the classifieds on corral and stangnet, I ended up getting a whole used cluster for 35, and Ive got whats left of it in the attic in case...

    How can I make my engine cooler ????

    #1, if you dont already, get a good autometer temp gauge so you can see EXACTLY what the temp is, sometimes stock gauge is not very accurate. Otherwise, I would say Fluidyne or Summit radiator, 180 tstat, good flush and fill of coolant, if its not too cold where you are at go 70/30 Water to...

    Air Conditioning Problems, possible pressure switch??

    My AC on the stang has got into the bad habit of cycling on and off at will. For instance, when I took it out for a drive yesterday, the AC did not work for the first 20 minutes, then blew cold for 20, then seemed to cycle back and forth at will. Freon is charged to the proper levels, checked...

    Sometimes I don't know why we do it (long)

    Look at it this way, average new car price for something descent is gonna run you 20k in my opinion. Thats 400 bucks a month, or 4800 a year. With 1.5 years of payments, you have enough money to put a brand new engine and tranny in your car. Another 1.5 you could add a blower and all the bolt...
