    PCV Valve

    I removed PCV valves before and NEVER had to pull hard at all. Surely theres some technique other than burte strenth to get it off...like i said something is going to break if I try to remove it with force.

    PCV Valve

    Ok I found out where it is but I cant seem to remove it. I disconnected the hose going to the what loos like a black housing for the PCV valve but it wont budge.

    K&N Air Filter Cleaning

    The package says clean every 50'000 miles? Did I misread or is that what it really says? I took mine off yesterday to take a look at it and it looks pretty dirty. Ive only had it on for like 15,000 miles. I went to Autozone and bought the cleaning kit. Should I wait till I hit 50,000 miles or...

    Stock H Pipe

    I recently moved and I had my stock H Pipe in storage. My friend who helped me moved suggested I sell it. How much money is a stock H Pipe worth? Maybe Ill go on ebay if it's worth my time. :D

    CHECK ENGINE Light at 28,000 miles

    I called the ford dealer and the a$$wipe at the parts dept told me that I had to purchase the entire EGR valve for $85. God only knows if i would have been able to install that myself. All I needed was the rubber vacuum elbow that connects the green hose to the EGR valve. I went to Autozone...

    anyone have the american thunder ctaback?

    I have an American Thunder catback and I have no regrets at all. Even when I had the stock H-Pipe there was a noticible difference. I had to go the magnaflow x pipe route because I'm from NY and had to stay legal. My stang went from sounding really good to awsome after the x-pipe install.
