    5w20 or 5w30??

    What is the TSB about? Is there a correction or just information? My '01 Cobra always reads 1/2 low with oil and filter & 6 qts. So does my '96 GT (6 qts)but my wife's '00 GT has always been right on with 5 qts. Seems like they're all over the place. Is the TSB available on line or "top...

    5w20 or 5w30??

    Hey, UM, I remember you saying a while back that you didn't like Royal Purple. I think you said you wouldn't use it in your lawn mower. How come?

    Question about 03 cobra rear end

    I've seen plenty IRS set ups for sale on the forums. A lot of the drag racers change over to straight axles, should be easy to find. Now, what's up? Going to make a nasty little corner carver?

    Auto tranny for the 96 Cobra

    I saw a similar question last year either here or on svtperformance. The answer was not practical because of a number of things but most of all you would not be able to smog the car in CA. What the trans has to do with it is beyond me but that's what I read.

    brakes making a lot of noise !!!!!

    There's a couple of things you can do. Sounds simple but when you wash your car, hose off the front calipers real good, keep the dust off. The second thing is to take the pads off, clean them and the calipers real good and paint the back of them with anti-squeal spray. Paint them good and...

    Got Some Detonation Going On.

    Yeah, Cobra90GT, 91 is the best we have. It is heavily "oxygenated" and is really inconsistent in quality.

    Got Some Detonation Going On.

    What everybody above said is good and some '01's are pingers true enough. I'm in LA too and I have found on my '01 is that is is sensitive to our CRAPPY gas. Shop around and try different brands. And don't forget the same brand changes quality batch for batch. We're so special in CA. They...

    Check your yellow pages or the internet. There are "Wheel Doctors" that repair damaged rims for a fraction of the new wheel cost. I have seen several repaired rims, they do good work.

    I've had the Ripper on my '96 almost since the car was new. Love it! It has never let me down. By the way, still going strong.

    Question about subframe connectors.

    You have to have the weight of the car on the tires so the springs/body are in normal driving position (loading). I have read threads where the subframes were installed using jackstands or a lift and the doors did not close properly afterwards. Yes, a messed up job, but it can happen. Go to a...

    leaky headlight

    That appears to be a fairly common problem. In fact, I saw a poster in the service office of my Ford dealer describing this problem and how bad it needs to be for replacement. The best you can do is dry it out real well and seal around it with silicone sealer. You'll end up replacing it...

    Body Damage Help

    I second the comment about the paintless dent removal. I have used a couple of guys in the past and they really work wonders. Do a search on the Internet for paintless dent removal. Then find a local guy or go to your dealer's body shop and ask. They use them for their used cars all the time...

    Having some what of a huge problem with a 96 GT. Please help!

    That's a clue. Check out the exhaust system closely. It may be as simple as something loose. Check all joints and flanges. May not be serious.
