    DEXCOOL & T-stat noises-ANYONE???

    Monty87 No problem. Listen, I did a search on the 5.0 Tech forum using the keyword "Dexcool" and found a whole bunch of threads about this stuff. It's really bad! In fact, GM customers are suing GM due to the damage that this stuff did to their GM cars! In Fords it's known to gum up...

    DEXCOOL & T-stat noises-ANYONE???

    Did you do a search on just "Dexcool" in these forums????? I remember reading a whole bunch of long threads about how this stuff is totally uncompatible with Ford products. In fact, if you look at the big label on a jug of Dexcool, it will state it's for GM products only! Never, never...

    DEXCOOL & T-stat noises-ANYONE???

    Dexcool, that's the orange GM stuff right? If so, you're NOT supposed to use this product on Fords! Especially in foxbody models. My suggestion is to flush this crap out, and refill on the Prestone green-stuff 50/50 mix.

    How to change out frontend bulbs in foxbody?

    I'd like to replace a bulb in one of my frontend corner lamps and also in one of the frontend parking lamps in my 1990 foxbody stang. How do I do this? Is it as simple as the taillamps which are just turn counter-clockwise and pull out, or is there something more????? Thanks in advance.

    Spark Plug Wire-Looms on 302, where???

    Just had a tune-up done on my foxbody 5.0. The 8mm Sparco plug wires are a little longer than what I had on the car before. Long enough that one of them was actually resting on a portion of the headers!!!! Ford Racing sells spark plug wire-looms. Can someone tell me where these looms bolt...

    Need Advice about my fox cooling system

    I'm looking to fix up my cooling system this spring. I have some questions. I'd like to replace some of the hoses that go to the radiator. The hoses I'd like to replace are the upper radiator and lower radiator hoses. What do you call the hose that goes from the water-pump to the...

    arm rest delete questions

    With regards to the armrest you have in the car currently, you'll have to pry off the access plugs on the side of the console to get access to the 4 nuts that hold the armrest down. Then you just gently pry up the armrest. The armrest delete has 4 hold-down clips on the underside of it...

    rack and pinion

    I had my rack and pinion replaced last year. I decided that I should have the pressure hose and the return hose replaced also. The rubber breaks down in these things especially where they mount to the rack and pump and they're know to leak from here also. Besides, as the rubber is old...

    door's do not line up correctly/leak

    A body shop could tell you exactly what the problem is. Either the doors not alligned properly or yes, the frame is bent. The frame being bent could be from just about anything. Could be due to an accident, could be due to torque and chassis twisting, or if you installed subframe connectors...

    Taillight Problems

    As I know you're familiar with how the inside of the taillight lenses look, you could drill holes going from the outside of the housings through to the lenses, and then get self-tapping screws and screw them through the holes in the housing and in through the holes in the lenses. Could they...

    hatch cover

    They changed the length and position of hatchcovers starting in 1990. 1987-1989 were a different length in a different position. No, a 1990-93 hatchcover will not fit your 87.

    How to install/replace Foxbody hatch supports?

    I bought a pair of the 50resto ones and they work just fine. Had them almost a year now. In September I bought the Redline Quicklifts for my foxbody and they work awesome. No more prop-rod :) I checked Redlines website and they sell the hatch supports also. I bet the Redline hatch...

    Strut Tower And Lowering Questions

    I know when I got my MAC chrome brace, I was told that it WOULD allow clearance for an aftermarket upper intake. I'd make sure though as those Trickflows are pretty high. Go to the MAC website and send them an email asking them.

    Rusty Coolant?

    Sounds like the "quad" mechanic put in dex-cool. Are you over heating? Always make sure when you get your coolant flushed, ask that they put in the prestone green stuff. Not to highjack this thread or anything, but how often do you guys flush your systems?????????????????? The last...

    Best Places to Buy Clear Corners

    I believe the clear corners are made by APC. At least mine are. They're of very good quality I must say. Better than the OEM ones.

    What type of oil to use?

    I guess you missed my post, or maybe I wasn't clear in the details. I've been using the Valvoline Max Life 10w-30 in my engine. This stuff is the "higher milage" stuff. Good stuff, it's a synthetic & conventional motor-oil blend. Quaker State also has a higher milage engine oil also. It's...

    What type of oil to use?

    Someone did a study of all the oil filters out on the market today and the FRAM's came off as a joke. Apparantly, FRAM got cheap and started making the filter elements out of some crappy cardboard. They don't filter the oil worth a d#$% and you pay big bucks for them. Like I said, I use...

    What type of oil to use?

    The 5W-30 is best for cold winters. Reason being as the cold air hits the oil-pan, it starts to mildly gum up the oil in the oil pan. When you do a cold start, the oil viscocity is real low when the oil is like this and gets better once the car hits operating temps. By putting a lighter...

    50resto chrome radiator grill bracket........

    I'm thinking about ordering from 50resto the 1983-93 chrome radiator grill L-shaped bracket part# KP-5004. This is the L-shaped bracket to replace the OEM bracket that holds/bolts up the front facia to the radiator support. This is NOT the radiator hold-down bracket that holds the radiator...

    I recently had autometre guages put in my foxbody 5.0 also. I've got 65 psi on cold startup. I've got 51 psi on hot drive. and between 25 and 30 psi on hot idle. Your numbers sound good.
