    4.10s ordered :)

    Good choice. 4.10's are just straight up awesome. Maybe Ford should offer different gear options on new mustangs...would be nice.

    Help, my 4.6 is sick.

    Seems to me your PCM is learning a poor strategy somehow. I would lean towards the IAC, but that wouldnt cause an issue while cruising. Need more info if available. How long have you had the issue? And what has been done maintainance wise?

    Took The Stang to the Shop Today

    +1 I agree with you on many points. However, the reason I as a "tech" havent recommended or advised replacing the midpipe is I am not there to accurately diagnose the condition. At minimum he is probably looking at 150 for an o/r pipe, and much more for catted. There were also no codes...

    new intake installed on 2000 gt, now terrible hesitation

    Intake manifold or CAI? If its an intake manifold, new gaskets used? Tighten the bolts from inside to outside and alternate? EDIT: Any codes for lean or rich condition?

    Took The Stang to the Shop Today

    +1 I'm a tech as well (yes, another one in this thread it seems). They obviously do not know what they are doing. They were just going to throw parts at the car, and figured after all that it would be fixed and now you are following in their footsteps. If you havent changed the plugs...

    Aftermarket Intake

    Dont forget you have to buy the intake, plus alternator, throttle cables, etc just to make it work. Trick flow looks good, but not many have it so far.

    A little Cobra R action (pics)

    00' Cobra R is one of the best Mustangs Ford ever build IMO. Killer suspension, awesome brakes and a good motor with the best flowing heads a mod motor has ever seen (minus GT500 and GT, not sure bout them). I would drive it to the end of the world and back again. I'd put 300k miles on it...

    Ordered some new stuff!

    No need to remove the bumper! I did mine no problem when I swapped them out for new ones. If I remember correctly there was only one 10mm screw/bolt on each side, and they snap in at one point on both sides. Provided, I am a tech with lift access, but it should be manageable.

    Swap 95 5.0 GT motor to 02 4.6 GT

    It is the opposite, but its the same theory. Almost nothing in your car will be untouched. Basically, you're gonna have to rip it all apart and completely rebuild it. And that doesnt include any fabrication you will have to do.

    sluggish idle / check engine light - had codes pulled

    That makes NO sense at all... :shrug: Seriously reading the posts there are only so many causes it can be. You obviously have a problem with both banks, so that eliminates coils and injectors. It would help to know what your fuel trims are at. Knowing what the fuel trims actually are...

    Help me choose my exhaust combo! i know i know, ANOTHER exhaust thread

    I used to run an o/r h and flows. Started getting bored with the sound, and I wanted it a little louder, and I ended up with SLP LMII's. I'm happy with my current setup. SLP quality is excellent, the tips look good, and the tone is deep. It's easy to keep the volume on the low side if you...

    Irritating Noise In Clutch

    Join the club. My TOB has been replaced 3 times for that squeeking noise. Its never gotten worse, but I cant seem to get it to go away. I have put 60k miles on my mustang since I got it; every bit of that with a squeeking TOB.

    Difference between 2 chamber and 3 chamber Flowmasters

    Mufflers on our mustangs = virtually no change in power. Get what you want based on sound preference.

    Great, problem here...water coming out exhaust and running very rough

    Sounds like you had a good scare... Water is a natural by product of combustion, nothing to be concerned about. Steam on the other hand would be bad. Sometimes issues like what you had clearing DTC/info or just disconnecting the battery helps. The PCM just kinda freaks out to adjust, and...

    Infamous 3.73's or 4.10 question

    Driveability? 4.10's are so driveable its not even funny. More so than the 3.27's. 5th gear turns into something useable, before it was basically a highway only gear. I love the 4.10's on the highway, power is there when you want it and I didnt notice ANY drop in fuel economy. There are...

    Infamous 3.73's or 4.10 question

    +1 4.10's are perfect for a daily driver. Yes, I agree that things change with a power adder but they are awesome N/A. I have also driven long trips with 4.10's and frequently do so and I still love them.

    Bored, Came up With This List...

    Trust me, I feel your pain. Seriously, it sucks. I work 2 jobs (60+ hrs/wk)...45 at Toyota as a tech, plus my part time at chick-fil-a and I still cant afford to dump any money into the car. There is so much I'd love to do, it just never happens.

    damn vandals!!!!

    Sometimes people get a very disturbing pleasure out of destroying someone elses hard work. Nothing to the extent that you have suffered, but I have had my car keyed while I was at work! I was pissed. I apologize, and I know this is WAAY off topic, but to the OP, do you really have a 5.1L?

    how many miles are on your 99-04?

    You only replace them when they go bad. Almost 121k and mine are all still factory.
