    How difficult is an electric fan to install?

    Don't even attempt this if you have not upgraded your alternator to a 3G and upgraded your main wire to a 4 gauge (minimum). It won't work otherwise. Unless you like driving around at 5K RPM....and even then start-and-stop driving is out of the question.

    Does anyone know here I can purchase a spout connector?

    I've heard of guys soldering in a automotive spade fuse holder and using blade fuses. Works exactly like the spout.

    Mine does the same thing. My axel is about 4 inches off center.....of course it was t-boned. Why do you need 1.25 inch spacers???

    GT just got T-boned! Now what?

    Well, bought the car back for 191 dollars. Got $6,000 settlement. I could have done worse. I think I'll search for a rolling chassis or low dollar GT. I'm thinking long term project car.

    *sigh* Disillusioned Stang Fan...

    It's not the car, its the driver / mechanic. The reality of the situation is you have an old car. Parts fail on old cars. A true craftsman doesn't blame his tools....if you get my meaning. Maybe this "hobby" is not for you. I'm all fired up reading this BS post. My dream stang was...

    GT just got T-boned! Now what?

    The damage estimate is in. Repair cost: 7,000 dollars! I emailed summit racing. I am hoping they can query my purchases over the last 4 years. A single itemized receipt would be awesome. I did not save very many packing slips and my other laptop died so I have no order confirmations (web...

    Is there a way to tap into raw pre-regulated alternator voltage?

    My PA Performance 3G, 130 amp alt came with a load test report. It indicated 90 amps at 900 rpm's! That's 25 more than stock at full output.

    GT just got T-boned! Now what?

    How come I can find half a dozen 88-93GT's within 25 miles (on Auto trader) asking 6-8,000 dollars yet the blue book of a Fair condition is 3200 bucks? How the hell is blue book calculated? Estimator said today it is 99% likely the car will be an insurance total (after 15 minutes of...

    GT just got T-boned! Now what?

    We both went to the doctors office. I have a follow up later this week. Just tender...for now. Car goes to shop tomorrow. Bought a new truck tonight. No more Mustang daily driver. Will keep you all posted to the results of the adjuster. Cross your fingers. Again, thanks to all for...

    Which Headers??

    I bought the BBK chrome equal lengths. What did I learn from this purchase? 1. Shorties are easier to install. There is no (detectable) performance gain or loss from equal length vs. shorties. 2. Equal length are harder to install. 3. Chrome is fine if you never start the engine...

    GT just got T-boned! Now what?

    M.Y. Good advice (as usual). My neck and upper back (spine) are VERY sore. I can't move my head without having pain. My girlfriend has the same symptoms. She was in the passenger side which took the hit. I've decided to buy a F250 and park the stang. I'll try and work on it when I can...

    Reached the final straw... think shes gone

    Hang in there Bro. A least you have a stang to wrench on. Mine was t-boned this morning. Machinist rule the deck, and heads. Verify torque sequence. How do you know your torque wrench is accurate? Maybe its really off? Re-using head bolts? blockage in coolant passages causing...

    GT just got T-boned! Now what?

    An agent of my ins. company said I will need proof (of the aftermarket parts) for my claim. Sounds promising, but I have no experience in this arena. Anyone else?

    GT just got T-boned! Now what?

    Will insurance companies reimburse the value of aftermarket parts? I assume I will have to proove I purchased them....not a problem (Mastercard). Should I expect a fight on this issue. Anyone have any experience with this? This sucks. I got T-boned after crossing 3 (of 4) lanes of...

    whats the point of having O2 censors????

    Well put Jrichker. Probst has been the best investment for my car. No exception...well, except for the colored LED winshield wiper blades....but other than that, best dollars spent on the GT.
