    Grease Fittings

    I was wondering if anyone knows how many grease fittings there are on a 2001 stang. I found two in the front(one for each tie-rod end) but couldn't find any others and I want to make sure I don't miss one.

    Chrome VS Black Bullits

    The black ones might be easier to keep clean, because chrome wheels tend to get discolored if you dont wax them regularly. Sound like it might look cool with the black ones since you have those black exhaust tips. By the way could you post a picture of those black tips on your car, cause if...

    gears on 2000 v6?

    Stock gears are 3:27 I don't have 3:73s on my car so I don't know exactly what kind of gas mileage change there is. From what other people have said you will lose around 2-3 mpg in highway driving and wont lose ony gas mileage for city driving so percentage wise about 5-10% depending how...

    How do you flush the power steering fluid? Is there anyway to drain it, or do you need to siphon it out?

    Cant get new harmonic dampner on HELP

    I just did this on mine last week. You need to use a Harmonic Balancer Install Tool (I rented one along withe the puller tool from Autozone) The stock bolt will not thread in until you use an installer tool too get the balancer pushed on enough.

    Best Stang?

    I have an '01 and I was wondering if it is possible to change my intake/exhaust controller to the '02 one so I have the "Beefier" sound? We're is the controller and how hard is it to change? Also, is there any performance gain at all or is it purely for sound?

    ok I got 2 questions

    My AC is starting to smells a little too, I think it is mold or something that builds up in the ventilation system. I had a jeep years ago that had the same problem and I got it treated at a dealership. I think they sell stuff to treat it at Autoparts stores too and I might get some to do my car..

    Engine Cooling Fan

    Does anyone know of any aftermarket electric fans for the v6 stang? Is there any difference between our fan and the GT fan? It says 3.8L on my fan shroud so I thought maybe there is a difference. I want to upgrade so that my car keeps running cool, because its been running between 208F and...

    30k maint.

    Is there a way to flush the coolant without running a water hose through the system? I have done it on cars in te past and I would usually cut a hole in a heater hose and use a plastic piece to hook a garden hose to it to flush the system. Now I liv at an apartment and I dont have access to a...

    Plug Wires

    At that mileage on original wires, you should really change them. Also, In my experience Bosch plugs are not very good. They tend to foul after a few thousand miles. I had the +4s and they ran well at 1st then were all fouled in 15,000 miles. I've heard a lot of other people who have had...

    Plug Wires

    I think the resistance should be the same for the different wires. You might as well change them if they are original on a '97 stang. How much mileage is on them?

    Plug Wires

    yeah, I didn't really notice any real performance gain it just felt like it ran smoother after I changed the wires. It probably was just wishful thinking since I only had 30k miles on the original wires, plus I also did fuel filter, pcv valve, cleaned my K&N and ran injector cleaner so that...

    upgrading..need advice

    If you are getting the gears changed and you have a little more money to spare, definately get the T-Lok done too. Will really help with grip when starting out and going around turns.

    Plug Wires

    With the original wires and 90K miles on them you probably will see some improvement in how your car runs. A little better gas mileage and performance. I put on JBA wires(I think they are 9mm) and my car runs great.

    ASP Underdrive

    I got it to work. I had had the car in reverse and I put it in 5th which may have helped but I'm not sure if it did or why 5th would be best :shrug: . I finally got it when my brother came over with a better breaker bar and with one person holding the pulley while the other used the breaker...

    ASP Underdrive

    I have an '01 stang and I am trying to install the underdrives on my car. I cant get the 21mm crank bolt off I tryed using PBBlaster and WD-40. I was able to get a torque wrench to 120 ft-lbs but it still wont come off. I can't push any harder than that because I am using my other hand to...
