Thanks, another reference to 55lbs makes me feel a little better about trying what ever I can find in that rating.
you would be surprised how little wind will push a hood around. Hasn't happened on the Mustang, it's usually in the shop. I've had 2 others come down, didn't get hit but it got my...
It has me, maybe if you spent some time under the hood working on cars you would also get tired of running into the prop rod. And being outside in the wind and have a gust of wind blow the hood up off the prop rod then slam down is another thing I recommend you try!
Thank you, have you used that weight rating on a stock hood? I always felt the originals I put on were a little light, if the hood was up and you wiggle the car it would likely close. Jim
What's everybody using? I put a Steeda kit on my 20 when new and the gas cylinders have crapped out. I can't find enough info on them to locate replacement cylinders so I may have to buy another kit. The info printed on the cylinders doesn't get me anywhere on searches, I measure them at 13...
Mine measures 8" deck to top of fender, I double checked the car mine is 9.25 floor to door edge. mine is 18' but you may need more for the F350 4 door. Also on the heavier trailer I would expect the fenders to be higher. Jim
Make life simple and get a trailer that the doors will clear the fenders, mine does and it's not a high dollar operation. 18 foot 2 axle 7k dove tail. ramps are just barely long enough, rubs the splitter a little. You don't need 5k axles unless you have other plans for it, costs more and will be...
look for a good locksmith and ask what they can do. There is one near me that has fobs (don't know the source) and program for considerably less than Ford.
I put a powered sub in mine in trunk, 12" 300W. Not the biggest or badist but sounds great. I used the rear deck speakers right above it for high level inputs and ran a 40 amp feed back from battery. Doing my own labor I had under $300 in it. Jim
Have an alignment done, a lot of these come from factory with toe out especially the PP cars. Mine ground off the inside edge in 10k. Be sure to request 1/16 toe in or it may be in spec and they'll leave the toe out and tell you nothing is wrong. Request an exact amount of toe in or they may...
1st Mustang, I wish I would have had a clue (19 years old) what it would be worth today if I'd have kept it and kept it nice. What a hoot it would be to have a 69 Mach1, 428CJR laying around the garage! Jim
Ok so no one expects it, but if you ever need a hook put on the front of these cars there will be thousand in damage to splitter, grills, bumper cover ect. The steeper the angle on tow line the more damage. Especially PP cars. I gaurantee you will sign a damage waiver before any hook will go on.
You say there are no drips on plug! Clean the oil off the top of the plastic shield first. A tablespoon of oil will drip for what seems like forever. A little got on it from the filter change and wind/gravity is making it drip off the back. Do the easy stuff first! Jim
I wish I could tell ya, may have been that way from day one. Maybe a monster pot hole you don't remember, so many possibilities. It's a shame that now days you have to check so many things on a brand new vehicle to make sure it's in spec.
If that was toe out both tires would be worn very similar. That is quite a bit of neg. camber and yes a shop can fix it, be aware there is no camber adjustment from factory. You will either need camber plates ( best, expensive),or bolts (less money and ok depending on how you use car). if you...
