    how many miles are on your 99-04?

    I got a 2001 Mustang GT with ONLY 5,765 original miles on it. I ordered the car brand new and it had only 10 miles on it when I recieved it on August 24, 2001. It's still 100% all stock. I just had the 6,000 mile service done to it today.

    Clicking Sound from Steering Wheel While Turning the Steering Wheel on my 2001 GT

    UPDATE: I took my GT into Ford to get the 6,000 mile oil change, tire rotation and lube service done to it today. One of the things which was on the agenda for them to check out was the clicking sound on the steering wheel next to the signal switch. Anyways, the chief mechanic who serviced my...

    Ever wish you had a different mustang?

    I used to own 2 Mustangs, but right now I am down to only one because I totalled my 2002 V6 Mustang back in Feb. 2008. I still got my 2001 Mustang GT that has less than 6,000 original limes on it. I also just bought a brand new 2008 Dodge Charger R/T Road & Track. I LOVE both of my muscles cars.

    GT Timing Chain in the 4.6L

    Thanks. I figured that the timing chain on the 2001 GT lasts for a few hundred thousand miles.

    GT Timing Chain in the 4.6L

    Because my other car is a 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.7L V6 AWD SUV that has a timing belt in it and the owner's manual says that it needs to be replaced every 60,000 miles. I wanted to find out whether or not a timing chain needs to be replaced at the same approximate mileage as a car that has a...

    GT Timing Chain in the 4.6L

    How many miles do the tensioners and guides usually last if the car remains 100% stock and if it's driven gently? I never beat on my 2001 GT and it's still 100% stock.

    GT Timing Chain in the 4.6L

    How many miles is the average lifespan for the timing chain in a stock 2001 GT? Will the timing chain last for at least 200,000 miles if the car remains 100% stock and if it's not driven hard? I would like to know. Thanks

    Fuel Mileage

    I get only 19 to 21 mpg average in my 2001 GT and it's 100% stock. And that's from 50/50 highway/city driving.

    Clicking Sound from Steering Wheel While Turning the Steering Wheel on my 2001 GT

    What's the clockspring look like and exactly in which location inside the steering column is it located at? Do you have any pictures of the clockspring or any teardown pictures of the steering column so I can see what it looks like?

    new paint job?

    I think that Maaco is the best bet. Maaco has come a very long way in doing paint work on cars and I think that they do excellent quality work. They do a lot of higher end more expensive cars.

    Clicking Sound from Steering Wheel While Turning the Steering Wheel on my 2001 GT

    Update: I heard the click sound again today for only 1 second while I turned the steering wheel when I was driving my GT. I think that it's coming from the inside part of the left side of the steering wheel where the turn signal arm is located. The click occurred ONLY once and ONLY for a split...

    Clicking Sound from Steering Wheel While Turning the Steering Wheel on my 2001 GT

    It sounds like it's coming from somewhere behind the steering wheel or from the steering wheel itself. I definitely cannot feel the click sound and I don't hear this click sound all the time. But when I do hear it, it clicks only once and then it goes away. I might not hear the click again for a...

    Clicking Sound from Steering Wheel While Turning the Steering Wheel on my 2001 GT

    It happens without the blinker on, but it's the same exact click sound that the steering wheel makes when you turn the steering wheel when the blinker is on. It occurs for only 1 second or 2 seconds at the most ONLY when I turn the wheel and it happens only once in a while. Do you think that...

    Clicking Sound from Steering Wheel While Turning the Steering Wheel on my 2001 GT

    I noticed that there is a single or a double clicking sound that comes from the steering wheel while I sometimes turn the steering wheel while I am driving or while the car is stationary or when I am getting ready to accelerate. It occurs ONLY when I turn the steering wheel. This sound is not...

    rear quarter window in a '03 convertible

    Wow man. I always thought that the little rear quarter windows on the convertible can be rolled up and down. Is it fixed on to a metal frame which it attached to the mechanism which goes up and down? I always thought that the bottom part of the window was "clamped" on a metal track. I never knew...

    Drastic Price Drop in Value in the 99-04 Mustang GT's

    The astronomical oil prices are a big scam. It's just a way for the big oil companies to make billions of dollars in profits. We are getting screwed. The high cost of oil is affecting everything right now. People do NOT have the extra money laying around to afford the higher oil prices. I...

    Drastic Price Drop in Value in the 99-04 Mustang GT's

    Same thing happened to all car dealers during the late 70's when gasoline prices wnet over $1.25 a gallon. They had a lot of V8's which just sat on the lots unsold. I remember when you could buy a brand new fully loaded 1978 and 1979 $18,000 Lincoln Mark V for only $12,000 because the dealers...

    Clunking and Creaking Sounds coming from Underneath my Mustang GT

    That's what I thought too. I drove my GT again today and I did not hear anymore clunking noises underneath the back of the car. Whatever it was that I was hearing went away for the time being.
