    oil leak help

    Thanks again :cheers: Im hoping this will be the culprit!!! I can stand a few drops here and there from the front main or the rear main, but its not a pleasant feeling to crawl under your car and see it dripping from almost everywhere! My worry is that something might be causing a...

    oil leak help

    I was afraid I might confuse people :D. My sig just shows the '03 since thats primarily what I work on now, but I also have a '90 LX 5.0 hatch that was my first Stang. Its the 5.0 thats got the oil problem, not the '03. Hey Mark, thanks for the reply. Where is this sending unit at? It...

    oil leak help

    Ok guys here is the situation. I hop in the 5.0 to run to the store to get some new Silverstar bulbs for my '03. I need gas first so I pull in and fill her up. As I start it back up, my check oil light came on. My house is only a few blocks down so I pulled into the driveway and jacked it...

    what else do i need with my accufab tb/plenum

    Nice #'s :nice: pretty similar to mine. I have the 75mm TB/Plenum upgrade. If your talking peak #'s it was a waste of money on my car. If your talking about gains throughout the powerband, you will want this piece. The Accufab combo was my final mod to date. My previous best dyno was...

    spec clutch review

    Specs seem to be hit or miss. Mine was a definate hit!!! I love my Spec Stage II man. 2nd best mod Ive done to the car. I have over 11,000 miles on my Stage II and it bites as good as the day it went in. I just didnt do anything stupid to glaze it over like a lot of people do and it has...

    Odd tire wear

    I had something similar to this happen on my '03. Weird thing about mine was that it was only the driver side :shrug: The very outside edge was wearing badly. I had my shop look at it and one of the guys thought it could be toe, but that would affect both front tires, not just one. Air...

    Whine in my gears!!!!!!!!!

    Your backlash was set incorrectly at the shop that installed them more than likely. To correct it they will have to go back inside the differential. If its a respectable shop they should go back in without charging you labor. Be prepared that they could charge you with it though. Ive...

    302 swap?

    I see you said you would probably stroke it to a 347, but your other option is a stroker kit for your 4.6. Dont they make strokers for his year that will convert his to a 5.0?

    Question about reverse...

    Mine does the same thing. Every am I put it in 1st, then throw it in reverse and it works perfectly fine. If I try to go right into R I cant do it. My driveway is perfectly level, no slope. Well Im sure there is a slight slope but you know lol. My g/f car does not have the problem, at least...

    weld-ins vs. catback

    Riiiiiiiiighttttt......... :rolleyes: You MAY see 4-5hp with a catback system... MAY My 40 Series flows welded in cost me $150 with labor. Compare that to the $350-400+ youll spend on American Thunder or most other catbacks out there. Dont get me wrong, if you want the all out...

    new TB/Plenum question?

    Its more than likely NOT your TPS. You normally wont notice anything at idle with a bad tps. You will however notice that the throttle responce going out with a bad tps. You may floor the car and it will just sit there, and stuff like that. A bad idle is usually a sign of a bad iac. After...

    Mach 1 grille delete question

    Mine had the tape to help hold it on and mine is as secure as if I bolted it down. It looks amazing and should have came stock that way :nice:

    Diablo Predator or Diablo Chip?

    Yes the chip does need to be reburned, but there arent many guys out there that need their daily driver tweaked +/- a few degrees timing every few days. I could see owning a tuner if you had a serious race car, or a s/c car with a ton of boost. That way you could use the tuner to...

    Did I hurt the Stang?

    On mine the stock rev limiter is set at 6250 :shrug:. I also know the 99+'s have a fuel shutoff "safety" feature that will cut the fuel if it notices the revs at the limit for a few seconds. There is a switch in the back of your trunk that you have to push if you think they may have happened...

    First track times in Mach, need comments, insults, advice :-(

    Damn good times man! Much better than my first time at the track lol. I only got to run 3 times though then it started raining. My best time was a 14.6, best 60' was 2.4, and best mph was a 99.8. That was done tapping the rev limiter in 3rd as I crossed the line. Pretty horrid for all Ive...

    Diablo Predator or Diablo Chip?

    You can do all this with a chip as well, not just a tuner. I have the DiabloSport chip and I love it. It really smoothed out the engine and gave me a few extra ponies :D. My g/f got one in her car not to long ago and saw some really nice improvements as well.

    Rear seat delete

    Is that leather??? If so hmmmmmm I could be taking a bit of weight out of the back of my car :D. The only thing that goes in the back seat is my dog. Question though, if you do this rear seat delete, do these kits still give you the option to fold down your rear seat if needed? I would...
