Does anyone else have a problem with the yellow coolant level light in the bottom right hand corner of the gauge cluster coming on at random? Ive checked my coolant system and intake manifold and the level is fine and nothing is leaking...is this just a common problem or what?

My 94 GT and my 99 GT did this. But, only on cool/cold mornings. After it warmed up some, turn off the car and restart. Its gone.

Have you had your coolant system flushed lately?

when you check the level cold it may be fine but when its warm it may be low. Try and add some after it warms up. Be careful you dont burn yourself.

Your float could also stick, I know Spreadmans does from his 4.10 videos.

mine comes on usually on cold morning and by the time I pull out of my neighborhood it turns off. It's no biggie-I know I have coolant in there and it's full-but it is annoying to see that light when you drive. I probably need to get my system flushed....

cool...its just a pain in the ass to see that light all of the time...i kinda like the sound of slp exhaust...its loud though. Its sounds almost the same as my buddy's flowmasters with no mufflers and flex pipes...nice sound though. MAC is nice too...SLP is the in your face sound though
