    Mach 460 rear speakers

    Do the Mach 460 rear speakers pump out treble or do they just sound like muffled bass as compared to the front speakers? I think they have rear tweeters, so should put out some treble, but mine do not.

    Mach 460 Rear Tweeters

    Thanks. If you cut the bass way down and the treble way up on rear fade, should you hear crisp high notes out of the rear like from the front tweeters or is it more muffled?

    Mach 460 Rear Tweeters

    How do the rear grills come off to check if the rear tweeters are working? When I put fade to rear, all I hear is deep base; no treble from tweeters. Should the Mach 460 rear speakers have some treble?

    VIN# Problem

    Maybe CARFAX is counting the 16 valves replaced and the 16 in there now! JUST KIDDING! They reported mine as 32 valves also.

    Suggested Brake Fluid Inquiry

    I've had good luck with Castrol LMA. The "LMA" means Low Moisture Absorbtion and moisture is the #1 killer of brake components! Glad to hear you are not going with DOT5 crap!

    Mach 460 Rear speakers

    My Mach 460 rear speakers on my '04 sound very "flat" as compared to the front speakers/tweeters. I believe the rears are a speaker/tweeter combination, but the treble is very flat. Is this normal???

    car smoke and its not the tires

    White smoke from the exhaust is normally a sign of coolant burning from a leaking or blown head gasket. It is normally accompanied by a "sweet" aroma from the coolant. Check your anti-freeze level and if low, add to top it off. Monitor the level for the next week. If it goes down, you...

    Coolant light is on.....?

    Could be as simple as a defective sending unit on the replaced manifold. In any case, check your coolant with an anti-freeze tester and make sure you have 4 - 5 balls floating. They might have added watered-down anti-freeze. A new sending unit may solve your problem (on top to right of...

    Coolant light is on.....?

    First thing - read the thread on Ford Factory Gauges. They are only "relative" gauges; not much better than idiot lights. As to your situation, I would drain your radiator and add fresh coolant. You may be running less than a 50%/50% mixture (you can check that with an anti-freeze tester -...

    Odometer in "Test Mode"

    If you put the odometer in "Test mode," like displaying RPMs or Water Temperature, does it log the mileage driven while in test mode? Just curious.

    5w-30 instead of 5w-20

    Two schools of thought: 1. 5/20 provides better EPA MPG; hence why Ford recommends it 2. Modular engine tolerances are tight and 30W is too thick to properly lubricate (once engine warms up). Not sure about #2, but #1 is a fact! Others???

    guys with 04 gt 5spds any problems since u had the car?

    Bought a new '04 GT. Had the front end noise. One Dealer wanted to change out the whole rackand pinion; second dealer wanted to take rack and pinion apart and "go from there." Had my local mechanic spray the steering bushings and the noise is gone.
