    Thanks, BTW very nice looking Fox! I just wanted to make a post because I know if I would have seen this months ago, I wouldn't have been cursing my car all that time.

    Anyone having overheating, gauge, or fan problems, Please Read!

    (see cliffnotes at bottom) I have been having some odd issues lately, like several users here, with overheating, electric fan not coming on at the right temp, and so on. My battery gauge would show that I would slowly loose voltage and temp gauge would go up. Long story short, I have...

    Temp after aluminum rad?

    Great idea Hissin, I used that exact funnel you speak of to fill up the radiator, but the idea didn't even cross my mind to keep it in while burping. I might just burp it again just so I can use the funnel idea. :rlaugh: Seriously though, I will keep that in mind for next time.

    Temp after aluminum rad?

    I am attacking a similar situation. I burped it via the same method as you today. I had rags wrapped around the neck. The coolant did slowly overflow within the first minute or two also, then it actually retreated a bit. It then stayed this way until the t-stat opened and I could see the...

    Temp after aluminum rad?

    When I was burping mine yesterday, the coolant would raise up once in a while, spew over, then go back down. I just figured it was air working it's way to the top and pushing out some coolant while doing so. I let mine puke a couple times last night, then filled it up again. I took it for a...

    Group Purchase: Mishimoto Radiators

    Just got done putting mine in tonight. The install is pretty straight forward, everything aligned great. The only concern I have is how much closer everything is to the belt and pulleys, but nothing is touching so it's fine.:nice: I only got to go for a short ride, so I can't speak too...

    Temp after aluminum rad?

    I thought I remember reading that the stock cap will not fit the Mishimoto radiators, it uses a different size cap. Hopefully I'm wrong as I have one of these radiators coming in a day or two.

    Group Purchase: Mishimoto Radiators

    You're right, I am probably #11. Although I thought I was too late to get in the group buy and when I sent the payment I only took 5% off of the website price of $189. My name and tracking # is on that list. Oh well, that's what I get for not calling first I guess:shrug: . As long as these...

    4th battery dead

    Exactly, I recently had a similar situation. It was a corroded terminal that connected to the alt. I checked pos. and neg. wires, ground connections, replaced terminals, etc.. I replaced the connector that attaches to the fuselink cable and the battery is now getting fully charged.

    Added second PCV...Pics

    Daddystang - Sooner or later you will probably see that you need a baffle under the second PCV. I added a second PCV and at first it was sucking up more than it did before I added it. I then added a baffle and that lowered the consumption, but I still am sucking up too much oil somehow...

    Group Purchase: Mishimoto Radiators

    You can still get 5% off if you buy before the GB ones ship out. I just sent my payment via paypal a couple days ago and took the 5% off, saves not quite $10 anyways.

    grippiest street tires?

    General Exclaim UHP's!!! Read about them on tirerack, rated #1 out of 46 tires. I can tell you first-hand that these tires were the best street tires I ever had. I cut low 1.9x's all night on them at the track, with the same tire pressure I run on the street, and I honestly was still only...

    Is Skateboarding a violent crime?

    Without getting too into it........ First off, the video showed nothing of what the beginning of this was. Secondly, if those punk kids would have just shut their mouths and not tried to be cocky little know-it-alls, they wouldn't be in that situation. I feel zero remorse for any of...

    Off all the mustang years, what made you decide to go sn95?

    Had a 99 cobra with all the basic bolt-ons. I loved it, but realized it wasn't practical to "dig in" the engine, and if I wanted to it would be alot more $$$. Plus I just missed the low-end torque of the 5.0. I've had two foxes before the 99 and loved the 5.0. So I compromised and got an...

    Removing wheel spacers.........they don't want to come off

    Well, I tried tapping on the inside with a screwdriver, but got nowhere. I tried mounting the wheel to the spacer and rocking it in in all directions for a while, still wasn't getting anywhere. So I said screw it, went to Ace Hardware and rented a slide hammer w/ the axle pulling attachment...

    Removing wheel spacers.........they don't want to come off

    First off, thank you guys very much for responding, it is great to get help when needed on here. Thanks! I thought of taking the caliper off and trying to slide the rotor off, or even tapping the rotor off. The problem is, I am pretty sure the spacer is stuck on the hub, not to the rotor...

    Removing wheel spacers.........they don't want to come off

    Not really sure what you are saying. If I use the screwdriver on the inside of the spacer, the only angle I could get would push in on further, not pull it off. Plus, there is a lip on the inside of the spacer, which is part of the hub-centric ideal. They can't be loosened, to where they just...

    Removing wheel spacers.........they don't want to come off

    Therian - I do not have a rubber mallet, but have a feeling that they will not break loose. They will need to be pryed off in some way. They are Hub-Centric, which is part of the reason they are stuck, they are stuck around the "Hub". gcomfx.com - Same as above, I don't think they will...
