    98 Mustang 3.8L Sound

    Well, the noise at crank couldnt be the driveshaft since it is not moving. Also, the high rev sound could be the clutch slipping (a bad clutch could cause a knock noise also). Have you noticed and driveability problems other than noises? Bucking, stalling, running hot, weird smells, etc...?

    I'm assuming this is an automatic... have you checked the tranny fluid?

    the SRTthis build thread

    I have the same deal with mine, I wish there was an easy way to verify things without a dissasembly. I need to check the timing on mine also, I tend to believe what the guy said (mostly), cause it runs like a raped ape.

    is it possible to have a ps pump that doesent make noise?

    Well, like I said, if you go to AutoZone or Advanced or O'Rielys, its the same pump between those two car models, so if you get it there, you probably will have the whine until you find the cause. Have you greased everything under there and checked for binding? Outer tie rod ends and ball...

    is it possible to have a ps pump that doesent make noise?

    Well, I used an aftermarket bracket for AC eliminator, but the bracket I used was for the stock ford pump. If you look up a 2000 3.0L Taurus PS pump and a latter fox 5.0L PS pump (89-93, dont know about other years), they have the same part # at AZ or AAP. Here is a couple of pics...

    is it possible to have a ps pump that doesent make noise?

    I just put a PS pump on mine, someone had taken the AC and PS off of the car before I got it. I just went to the junk yard and pulled a pump from a 2000 ford taurus. Since there was no PS pump before, I replaced the rack and flushed out the cooler with brake clean before re-assembly. It was...

    Electric Fan Install

    The copper tube worked like a champ. All I had to do was extend the wires around to the radiator where I have my electric fan controller. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Lower Radiator Support Suggestions

    I believe so, I am going to wait until tomorrow to pull the radiator out and look at it further. I also have the original upper support brackets, I thought about turning those upside down and trying to bolt them in somehow. We'll see how that works.

    Lower Radiator Support Suggestions

    Go ahead and laugh at me, but I have a problem. My 93 has a wide two row aluminum radiator in it, and I have just recently had a problem with it. The other day I hit a pretty hard rut/bump in the road and I did not know until I got home about 8 miles later that the radiator had fallen off of...

    Which code in the VIN# is the interior color?

    The interior color code is not in the VIN, the VIN only contains information on model, year, location of assembly, etc... The color code and other info is on the door tag located in the drivers door jam or on the end of the drivers door. Go here 1988 Mustang GT Decoder Form and put the info...

    Electric Fan Install

    I got a copper tee from Home Depot and threaded the top hole 3/8 NPT, screwed the sensor in as far as I could and split the supply heater hose in the middle and clamped the tee in between the halves last night. I'll keep my fingers crossed and see what happens tonight. The only problem I have...

    Electric Fan Install

    Does the Tee need to be copper? Do you think I could use brass instead? Also, the fan sensor I have does not have a very long nipple (maybe 1/8 to 1/4 inch). Im assuming I need to try and get that into the water stream.

    Electric Fan Install

    Ok, I have searched through the forums and read how some others have done this, but was wondering if this would work. I have a dual fan setup with a automatic fan controller unit. It has a temp sensor that needs to be installed in a 3/8" NPT port. I have looked around and I dont seem to have...

    B-cam... Shakes the car?

    My B with stock mounts shakes pretty hard too, but I like the awesome drum solo sound from the exhaust.

    If i had $41,000 lying around... id buy this.

    Boy, you can tell which ones of us are past the hump. 75% would buy a car or build up the one they have and the rest of us go, hmmm it would be nice to have money in savings LOL. I too would put most of it in savings and pay some crap off.

    Starter doesnt "line up"

    I was just reading through this thread and I just noticed, I actually looked at buying the car that PKOVACK has in his garage. The biggest reason I didnt buy it was because of a non-complete 5-sp swap in it. Neutral saftey was missing and starting issues galore. Im glad I didnt get it else it...

    95 GT AOD problem

    Also, have you done any repairs to it lately? Especially electrical. I say this, and it may be way off, because my wife used to have a Buick Riviera and I replaced the alternator on it and started having all kinds of wierd problems, especially with the tranny. It turned out that the...

    Clutch Problems

    What kind of clutch is it? And I can only assume you got parts from a junkyard or used to do your swap, you sure the clutch fork is not bent? Also, did the throwout bearing go on easy (slide on the shaft) and did you install it on the fork in the right direction... I know, its a stupid...
