    My mustang is haunted!!!!!!!!!

    Hello. are you still having this problem? Is the speedo the only thing that quit on you? Nothing else beside the clock? Did you ever get this problem solved yet? The door lock problem sounds like an alarm system perhaps improperly installed. The doors should not LOCK when the key turns off...

    My customary once a year post

    Hey ganador, you prob dont remember me. i've been here since December 2000 and yah, I still have my '96 3.8, over 11 years now. I keep thinking ... Damn, I NEVER thought I would find myself owning this car for THAT long. I've done so many repairs to it over the years I lost count. But it's...

    3 Speeding Tickets in 1 Hour? Yes

    Hello, Austin, are you still keeping tabs on this thread? May I ask what size tires you are using EXACTLY and what rims you have on there. You said NORMAL tires, but i'd like to know what the specs are. I'm pretty sure the speedometer is getting it's voltage signal from the speed sensor...

    newwwwbie!

    Aight.. first I wouldn't say it's a motor mount. The car don't go from running smooth to shaking bad and be a motor mount that quickly. Those things wear out slowly. The way it's shaking sounds to me like it's missing... meaning it's mis-firing on a cylinder or 2. I'm also betting you that the...

    newwwwbie!

    Metal plug on the heads? Are you sure you aren't talking about the block? Is it an indented piece of metal like a cap upside down? Or does it look like it has a square notch in it? It might be a freeze plug in the block. I'm not familiar with anything like that on the heads. You just bought...

    Exhaust fumes in cab of car

    Yeah, leaking header or exhaust pipe above the converters near the flange. I am not sure of any way to fix it except maybe a weld because anything else wouldn't hold long enough due to it being so hot. As far as removing the EGR tube from the header, I honestly don't see a heat gun working to...

    5.0?

    oops. my bad. you're right. Somehow got the big boss mixed in there. It's $6099 at LRS. That still does not include the transmission, motor mount adapters and wire harness. The stock Fox 5.0 is good for up to near 500 HP. After that you'll need a different block like a Dart. A block girdle...

    Clear coating on factory machined/polished rims

    I don't know about the clear coat this person used. You can't use just any clearcoat paint. The problem is when you sand down a metal till it's very smooth (like 2000 grit smooth or finer), most clears don't stick too well and will peel or scratch off real easy. They have to be using some kind...

    Want Something Better than the Meguiar's 3-step

    Oh, I totally forgot to add.... my mother has a 2001 F-150 Harley Davidson edition. Jet black. She had the hood repainted again back a couple years. The car wash she takes it took obviously has some horrible brushes...as you know newer paint is softer and scratches easy. The hood of her truck...

    Want Something Better than the Meguiar's 3-step

    Very good information in this thread here. That's true about waxes that they don't last much more than a few days to a week. Here in Florida, a week and a half is the most I ever got out of a wax, and that was after putting on 2 or 3 coats. The sun and rain tears everything up. The sun is the...

    Elibach 'Pro Kit' Spring drop

    It's a 1.5" drop on both front and back. Yes, it's lower than it ever was.... first, avoid potholes as much as possible. 2nd, get the Eibach Pro-Damper set which are the struts and shocks. They work with their pro kit springs and make a huge difference. I was surprised by the ride difference...

    5.0?

    The old "4.9" was actaully labeled the 5.0. And the new Coyote 5.0 will cost you about $11K grand... and thats just for the engine, not including the wiring harness and computer and motor mount adaptor kit. How much HP are you looking to go with? or is it you just want a different engine in...

    Strong shaking

    Inner/Outer Tie-Rod on passenger side. To check.. carefully jack the front end off the ground so the tire does not touch and can spin freely. Now, kneeling directly center in front of the wheel, grab the very center of the left and right side of the tire and act like you are trying to pull it...

    v6-newer v6 swap? HELP

    Hate to spoil it for you... but you will need the harness and the computer... and the gauge cluster as well. The 2001 has a digital cluster (Actually the Odometer is digital and has other components in it) while (I'm assuming you have a 95 by your name here) the 95 has a mechanical cluster. The...

    Paint, on a budget

    Can you take a few photos and post them here? I'd be interested to see how bad these marks are all over. $3500 is very steep. Unless you are getting a pro paint job. If the paint in itself is in decent shape, they may be able just to clean up the keyed areas even..

    It's been done. I finally tackled the transmission and clutch this weekend. Yay!

    Ahh, the shuddering from releasing the clutch has gone almost. I know the flywheel is a bit warped, but obviously the pressure plate had to of been a lot worse because before we replaced all this crap, I had tons of shuddering while releasing the clutch. Thought it was going to shake the car...
