    2005 Mustang Dead Battery Problem??

    Because the relative heat varies with many variable factors: ambient air temp, driving conditions, driving duration, etc. If it is due to the KAM or Shaker amps explain why it does not happen to every S197, every time? Take my car for example: February 05 Purchased March 05 Added auto...

    2005 Mustang Dead Battery Problem??

    Well then my issue was different. I did turn off everyting (stero, radar, AC/blower controls, etc) and it still died. I woud have some mornings where it would "hesititate" (sluggish turn over) but the next morning start fine; with no charging other than driving, and driving the same distance...

    2005 Mustang Dead Battery Problem??

    I don't buy the K.A.M. or the Shaker AMPs explanations. There are many cars that have those same features that never have these issues. The only unique thing these S197s are known for is the extreme under hood temps. Batterys do not like high temps and I think we are seeing a by product of that...

    2005 Mustang Dead Battery Problem??

    There really are only 2 sizes (dimensionally) of the red top Optimas. I went with the taller one (don't recall the number right now, I can look if you would like) and it fit fine. I used the factory hold down strap and heat blanket.

    2005 Mustang Dead Battery Problem??

    No problems with the Optima. I think the high heat under the hood is killing the Ford batterys prematurely. Just my opinion

    OH NO! Say it's NOT SO!......Has anyone seen the Gingerbreadman..???

    Thanks! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too! Things have been good. I have been working like a mad man so I haven't had a whole lot of time to play. This has been the first 4 day stretch I have gone without working in nearly 2 years (and it feels gooooooood)

    Why not a Richmond?

    The Richmond mod was the best decision I ever made. In fact, I am currently in the design stage for adding a Richmond 6 speed to my 05 Mustnag The best advice I can give is to think about everything ahead of time. While I do give some more specific detail on my webpage...
