    Continued Shaker 500 "B" unit problems >

    The "A" Shaker 500 unit in my 05 Mustang GT was replaced a month ago with the improved "B" unit. While the problems have decreased by about 50%, the skipping, missing, early cut, and other problems are still there. I only use factory new CD's, I do not burn my own. Is anyone else still having...

    License Plate Mounting?

    I plugged the two holes in the front bumper with www.bumperblugs.com and they matched the color of my 05 perfectly. Hate that the dealer had predrilled the holes...........

    sure, it's great in straight lines, but....

    Interesting thread with a lot of good input. I live in the hills and work in the flats so I am up and down the hills every day. Plus late at night I have been known to go driving through the canyon roads for fun. I use to drive a Chevy Z28 until it just wore out ;) . I had to add a few...

    Jet chip octane?

    I installed the Jet Module and have been running 91 Octane per their instructions and the car runs much better. I have not tried using 89 octane as I prefer to have the performance there should I want it ;)

    Aussie break-in procedure

    Usually 2-3 cold ones will break in any Aussie !!! As for the car procedjure, it is about what I use too.... Vary speed, use a lower gear here and there, and do not over Rev for first 1000 miles. I too change oil at 500 at 1500 miles.. then at 3000 miles and at 3000 miles there after.

    RPM question

    Understand what you are saying. Listening to the sound of the engine is both intoxicating and good practice to understand where you engine is at. All of the above is assuming of course you are not in traffic and on a straight & level road. I would suggest you play around with the...

    Shaker A or B

    RPM question

    Lots of different camps here on this one. Some "short shift" for better milage meaning the shift the car early as the RPM's climb. Early as in 1500-2000 RPM's.. saves a bit a gas but you don't get the full benefit of the horsepower that way. Other's shift in the 2500-3500 range which is...

    K&N Dissappointment

    GT 300 there have been several threads about this. If you change anything to increase the air flow, including a K&N, your car COULD react negatively just as you described without a re-tune via an external tuner or Jet module. ;( I'd just put the old filter back in it or pop in a Jet Module...

    Shaker A or B

    Turn ingintion on, turn your radio on to AM/FM. Then hold down/press in the #3 & #6 keys at the same time and hold until the dial shows it's in it's self test and release the keys. At the end there will be a series of numbers and a letter. If the letter is "A" you have the "A" series. If it's...

    Yellow 05 Crash Pics

    My understanding is that cars are made with their bumpers at about the same height so the bumpers from the front or rear would be the normal initial point of contact and thus take up a lot of the impact energy. The door guards are also put in place in anticpation of bumper impact at this...

    2nd Defective Gas Tank

    Sacha, same here. The replacement tank worked the first couple of times. But just now while filling it up the pump just kept shutting off. This at the same pump that worked 2 days ago. This time flipping the handle 180 degrees worked. But it still does not give me the feeling of confidence to...

    Jet Performance Chip

    Wow, "16 in town and 24 on the highway"!! That's great. Nothing close to your highway milage here. I just turned 2000 miles this week. I have to fill up again tomorrow. I'll chart my milage after the fill up and report back next week.

    Jet Performance Chip

    Very unscientific as it has been hot enough to run the air conditioner most days out here and I have been doing a lot of freeway runs too. That said the last check I am getting a couple of miles per gallon more then without the chip. My numbers before the chip were a low of 10 miles per gallon...

    Jet Performance Chip

    Topless, so far the car has been in the shop without the need to remove the Jet Module, ie Shaker replacement, gas tank replacement, window molding replacement, and the likes. So I left the Jet Module in without any problems. If I were having a motor specific problem, like a missfire or a...

    Anyone else have a crimped window seal? - Pics

    Same problem here. It tears and then rolls up as the window goes up preventing the window from going up all the way. I had it replaced while the car was in last week, and the week before. Does the dealer care about finding the cause? What are you kidding us? That's funny !!!! ;)

    How much have have you endured?

    "Maybe a better question would be how well has the service dept taken care of the problems?" This will vary with each dealership. Some dealerships will do a better job in this area while others are totally indifferent. Plus there are certain well documented problems, ie the gas tanks, that...

    Jet Performance Chip

    Yes that was me who posted the original thread before the computer crash. The Jet module was a simple 5 minutes or less instalation. Disconnect the battery cable, unlock and disconnect the lower cables leading into the ECU which is located up front on the passengers side, plug in the Jet module...

    Guys, Is There Or Is There Not A Sb On The Front End Of These Cars?

    Concur with karazuba. My 05 has been in the shop for the last 8 days. The service Mgr. says he has been in touch with Ford and they are saying that "yes, they are aware of the situation and are working on it". Notice, they did not use the words problem or fix..... how PC of them.... But as of...
