    got the radiator rodded out, coolant cleaned up, the bay cleaned up real nice, ac recharged and fixed the leaking retrofit valve. also fixed my headlights, got them aimed up right, then fixed my dashboard pod from moving where those tabs always break.

    What did you do for your Fox today?

    past few days i had my radiator out having my friends dad rod it out. he heated up the cap on the driver side of it rad, pulled that off, rodded it out with a dipstick (was super clogged up with corrosion, make sure you use distilled water guys) then we put it back together. painted random motor...

    coolant temperature woes. stock gauge. any advice?

    got the freshened up radiator in tonight and it does much better. i had the rad cap off and let it idle while it got up to temp. it got to about halfway on the gauge then started climbing pretty quickly, i was reaching for the key getting ready to kill it, and then it just stopped at about 3/4s...

    coolant temperature woes. stock gauge. any advice?

    friends dad is cleaning it out for 30 bucks. he heats up the cap on the driver side, and pulls the cap off, then runs a dipstick through all the passages and then hoses it all out. its flowing much better. the radiator itself isnt in bad shape, just gotta make sure i use distilled water this...

    coolant temperature woes. stock gauge. any advice?

    very clogged up radiator. we got the new thermostat in, the water outlet gasket was leaking a little bit, that might explain my super slow coolant leak ive had. we put rad flush in it, and found that its barely getting from one side of the radiator to another. you can take the cap off the...

    coolant temperature woes. stock gauge. any advice?

    when i got my car 5 or 6 years ago, it had always run at about 1/4 of the way up the factory gauge. a couple years ago i decided to change the water temp sensor, and when i did, it started working again, and fluctuated. usually ran about halfway up the gauge. this is a stock fox (motor wise)...

    how much should I lower my car?

    youll never get 4 inches out of it. lowering a car is for handling not for looks. find a good set of springs and take what it gives you. if a company cant tell you how much it will lower your car then buy those springs. if your doing it just for the looks of it, then just get ford racing c...
