    Anyone need a Haynes MII manual?

    While cleaning out the garage today, going through dozens of boxes from our move last year, I came across this Mustang II Haynes manual: I clearly have no need for it so hoping to pass it on to someone who might have a use for it. Let me know...just cover shipping.

    If there is a blue tinge to the smoke, that's typically indicative of oil burning.

    '02 Headlight Replacement

    Sorry...I didn't see the post till after the fact, but you made the right choice in the end from my perspective. Maybe posting a question about recommended items out in the General/Talk area of the forum would get it a little more attention quicker.

    Emissions test

    You'll have to check local laws for that. What do they check for? Is there a visual inspection? Do they just scan the OBD? Here in my locale, as long as those items don't throw a code, it would pass. We don't have visual inspections...just OBD scans where applicable. Older vehicles that don't...

    Fast turn signal

    How recently did this start? Were any changes made that might warrant the odd behavior? I did notice mention of the LED/sequential swap...were the signals working properly before the swap, and immediately after? Vexing indeed.

    Fast turn signal

    Did you try changing the flasher module at all? If not, it couldn't hurt. It's cheap enough and pretty simple. A little while back I had this weird, erratic turn signal issue. Sometimes they'd turn on, sometimes they wouldn't. But the hazards worked. I made sure all the bulbs were fresh and I...

    '02 Headlight Replacement

    Oh, and one other thing about the SVE headlight assemblies. I ended up finding out they're just rebranded generics anyway. You can buy the exact same headlight assembly over on RockAuto for even cheaper than what LMR charges. I bought one of their's to replace the one that was peeling and when I...

    '02 Headlight Replacement

    Very much this. Another example from me: I have a Saleen wing on my GT. A few years ago, the third-brake light that originally came with it burned out (it was LED). Me being tight on money at the time, I ordered a non-OEM eBay Chinese knock-off replacement light assembly for like $30. When I...

    Rattling throwout bearing noise from brand new mcleid street pro clutch

    For what it's worth, I've always read to ONLY use the Ford Racing throwout bearing...all the other aftermarket ones seem to be unreliable.

    '02 Headlight Replacement

    I had some SVE lights in mine a couple years ago. When I initially received them, one was fine, but the other one had the little reflector piece (that shrouds the bulb) broken off inside the assembly. Fortunately, it wasn't too big of a deal as LMR swapped it out for me. The process to do so was...

    Hey all. Just wondering how rare the Mach sound system was on these cars.

    I recently had to replace one speaker in my '03 GT that has the Mach 460 setup. The speaker had blown and was buzzing pretty bad. I ended up buying a new factory speaker for it from CJ Pony Parts. One speaker cost me $54.95 from there. I did consider just changing all the speakers out as I had...

    2010 Expedition 4x4 - occasional "scraping" noise

    My 2010 Expedition with 4WD will randomly produce what I can only describe as a metallic scraping noise from the front driver's wheel area once in a while. It happens usually while accelerating and when I let off the throttle, the noise stops. I can't "make" it happen though, and there's...

    2003 GT speakers

    I have found the answer with a little deeper digging. It seems that the Mustangs that came with the base stereo got the 5 1/4" speakers all around. Mustangs that came with the MACH systems got the 6"x8" speakers (convertibles still had the 5 1/4" speakers in the rear deck apparently). So in...

    2003 GT speakers

    What is the stock size for the door and rear speakers in a '03 GT (with Mach 460)? I checked Crutchfield's site and it shows both 5 1/4" and 6"x8", for both locations. My assumption is that the factory speaker is a 5 1/4", but the space can accommodate a 6"x8"? Would that be correct? For the...

    '03 GT - whining at front of engine

    Quick history on the vehicle as it could relate to the issue at hand: 2003 GT, manual, 183K miles. Entire clutch assembly was replaced at 160K with all Ford components (including the TOB). Tensioner pulley/arm assembly was replaced about 8 years ago. Water pump was replaced about 5 years ago...

    Another Newbie here!

    Welcome aboard @dmschuler! Too bad it didn't work out; it's always nice to see another II on the road. I don't own any IIs any more, but the first two Mustangs I owned were IIs...a '77 Ghia which was my daily, and a '76 Cobra II that was intended to be a project car which unfortunately never...

    2003 GT - Canister Control Solenoid

    Sorry about that, looks like that would've helped in this instance. My bad. I have really been considering that lately, even before all this craziness went down. My only hangup was how often I'd use it, but it would sure help regardless.
