    53000 miles on first set of brake pads?

    I have a 2000 E320 that we just finally changed out the front pads on, went 60K miles. Also, very little rotor wear. Of course my wife drives it pretty slowly compared to how I drive. If you drive easy, totally ok.

    How often do you....

    Yes, I have read the same thing on articles where they did actual testing in labs. Of course it can get too dirty then go the other way.

    Thinking shorty 14" antenna, work ok?

    Thanks to you all. Based on your responses I pulled the trigger on it (along with other goodies) from American Muscle.

    Have 08 with 4 gauges, can I upgrade to 6?

    Just wanted to give the forum some positive feedback. I got in touch with Mr. Kevin Casey, the parts manager at Clevenger Ford in Porterville, Ca, and he is certainly the guru on this gauge upgrade issue (fron two to four). Did the first swap on his awesome GT500 some years ago and has been...

    Thinking shorty 14" antenna, work ok?

    As it says, thinking of changing to the shorty 14" antenna, but don't want to sacrafice radio quality. I don't use sat. radio, just plain old am and fm and CDs and live in rural area. Anyway, anybody install these and did you sacrifice sound quality or signal strength?

    fog light disassembly question

    Not to steal this thread but I find it interesting that this is the first car I've had with fog lights that weren't yellow in color when on. My 06 Miata (just sold to buy the GT), my 04 F150, my 00 E320, etc. all have yellow fog lights. And we get severe fog here in the central Calif valley...

    Clunk when letting out clutch!!

    Yes, of course it's under warranty, it's only a month old, hence only 400 miles. I just didn't want to to running back to the dealership at only 400 miles if this was something that all Mustangs did, as this is my first Mustang. MustangDave - about the upper control arm hole larger than...

    Clunk when letting out clutch!!

    I've driven sticks most of my long life. My brand new 08 stang, only have 400 miles so far. Pretty loud clunk whenever I let the clutch out, especially hear in in 2nd and 3rd gears. Sounds like play in the drive shaft. Doesn't sound like something I should hear on brand new car. As this is...

    Why called modular motors?

    This got a little off track but at least I found out why they are called modular motors. Actually the first Wikopedial link was very interesting. Thanks.

    Why called modular motors?

    Why are our 4.6 engines called modular? Ok so they have an overhead cam, so do others (some dual cams) that aren't called modular.

    09 GT battery problem

    Stupidest thing I have heard in a long time. What's even stupidier is that a dealership would actually tell someone that. If it was designed that way, Ford ought to go bankrupt. Mine sits without problems for weeks a time.

    Sounds like a good idea, thanks.

    Want to tone down pony on front grill

    As we now know it's plastic and not some type of metal, can you still do that? Maybe I'll just sand and paint it flat black. I don't want an obvious hole by just removing it.

    Want to tone down pony on front grill

    Like title says, want to maybe black chrome (or whatever) the pony on front. Don't like the chrome there. Has anybody done that? Anyone know how it comes off or what it's made of? Tx.

    paint is starting to chip

    That shouldn't be doing that. I'd take it back to the dealer, warranty or no warranty.

    Looking to buy an 08 stang gt...

    I just bought a new leftover 08 GT. Look for the sticker on the valve cover that says AB which is the engine with the newer head/spark plug design. Even though mine is an 08, unfortunately I still have the AA or older design/spark plug problem. Also, if you want 4 gauges instead of just 2...
