    Temp Probe for DCC controler...

    Typically it takes 28 days from start to finish.. It will show up though. I had my probe next to the radiator outlet. That way the readings the unit were seeing was for the coolant entering back into the engine.

    Anybody know how to get rid of the seatbelt safety chime???

    Seat belts save lives. It's pretty much that simple - if you don't wear it you are more likely to be seriously injured in a crash. Here are some fact (total unrelated to disabling the chime but worth noting) You are 25 times more likely to be killed in a ejection from a car What...

    PS3s going for $3,000+ on ebay already

    Rant begin // It's amazing that people are stupid enough to not be able to wait until after the holiday season and purcahse the stupid system for retail price. I mean what is wrong with Americans and the "gotta have it now mentality" that you would want to spend $4K on a system that will be...

    How do I get an '05 Air Bag off to change Steering Wheel?

    I've seen the "woody" (sorry) My comments are not directed at anyone in this thread. I just want to post them, becuase I worked with airbags up until last month. So I thought I would put out my tips / legal notes on the subject. I hope I didn't offend because I know how much we all want to...

    Anyone here own/lease a Fusion?

    They are fantastic mid-sized cars. My sister is getting the Milan version in a couple of days here.. I've gone on a few test drives and really enjoyed the ride. If you have connections, the Xplan should be easy to come by, making your payments very resonable.

    How do I get an '05 Air Bag off to change Steering Wheel?

    Actually - there is a certification program that all automotive suppliers must attend in order to handle just a "live" airbag container. All we are saying is that, the bag is a very dangerous object and you should take very serious precautions to handle it. They can be removed - just take...

    What are bolt-ons...

    How do I get an '05 Air Bag off to change Steering Wheel?

    Just a legal note here - it's 100% illegal to disable or remove the airbags on any street car the was equiped with them from the factory. Now a couple pointers: Even though the power is off for the bag charge, they can still go off. 1) No HEAT around the bag (open flames, cigarettes...

    What are bolt-ons...

    Yes the factory ratings on the Mustangs 4.6L 3V SHOC engine are 300 HP 320 Torque However, you must understand that these numbers are measured on an engine dynometer without any accessories. Thus giving you an engine horsepower figure or more commonly refered to as flywheel HP. So you...

    World Class T5 Whant kind of tranny fluid to use

    If it's a Factory Ford T-5 then he / you should be using ATF. But if it's a transmission built by the aftermarket than it could require the used of GM's syncrocrash.

    Couple things I don't like about my Mustang

    maybe the seat rails are long enough to allow for a wider range of adjustment? Maybe negating the need for the telescoping column? Mabye because of the airbag - they can't get the column to slide in and out yet?
