Noise is one thing but: I had that problem. That pedal behavior is abnormal, and you can't say for sure it isn't related to your other issue. I've got an aftermarket spring under my pedal too. It shouldn't affect anything. You may have air if they bled the system improperly doing work, or you...

Worried about code cloning on a trip? You can take the battery out of your fob. I've done this so I can lock the fob in the glove box and just carry around the emergency key part. Like if you're going to go swimming. The car no longer knows or cares that you are leaving the fob inside, and it...

In a world where thieves are stealing cats (the car part, not the animal) with a sawzall you simply cannot leave valuables in a car that is out of your immediate sight. Especially in a motel parking lot! Also, don't talk about your shit. If thieves knew you had a gun or wallet in your car no...

The 6 speed D4 ratios plus 3.55 is a garbage combination, really. I'm convinced more gear is the key to having fun at legal speeds with these cars. And you don't need to immediately start to mess around underhood where so many start running into drivability issues. Though you can always still...

I have experience with one real Mustang shop. I had 4.09 gears installed at Realspeed in NY. Dealer wouldn't touch it. Neither would my regular shop. I found the owner's Motortrend article: https://www.motortrend.com/features/mmfp-0905-1990-mustang-gt-realspeed/ He had to have some new axle...

I've had a couple of storms with this Mustang. I recommend Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires. Not the cheapest but okay in the dry and surprisingly good in the snow. Almost as good as any dedicated winter tire I've driven with. I'm out accelerating every 2WD car, and don't forget, AWD doesn't help...

You got a locking cap from blueovalindustries? Never heard of them. I've been waiting for one. Thought it would finally come from Steeda or something, not an unknown vendor. Does it fit good?

My man you are an animal. Best rally car ever when you get it done. Are you going mechanically active or part time AWD? 2WD better for burnouts.

So I bought the one from easymanuals.co.uk for about $22. It is a 9,500+ page PDF and it includes the wiring diagrams. It was 180 MB. It doesn't have clickable links. But the table of contents is accurate and you can also just search the text for keywords. The text looks perfect even on a large...

There seem to be several options for Service Information for my 2018 GT. Does anyone have any experience that can help choose which is the best? What I really want is the complete manual in a single giant-ass PDF that has no protection on it so I can put it in the cloud and have it on my...

This is interesting. I'm going to call them for a rear gear quote, since I work too much, and I'm too tired when I'm not, to tackle a rear gear swap. Anybody have an idea of what else is good to modify at the same time while the car is up in the air?

Ford Performance states that an ASE tech should install it. That's probably to avoid calls from people that consider this job hard. What did you expect, plug and play? A drop-in air filter? We have over a 100 pages of conversation about this kit. I don't know anyone's standards for difficulty...

You think so, until someone false accuses you of some nonsense. Or some cop gets a hard on for you. These pesky rights aren't for the protection of junkies. They are for you. The downside to a rights-preserving legal system is some tolerance of petty crimes. But then again, in countries without...

Not on rear pistons in my experience. lot of bad advice and some good. I've lost count of my rear brake jobs, many cars, many years. My two cents on this Mustang. Use the correct tool that simultaneously pushes and rotates, careful not to pinch and rip the piston boot. Wipe down and lube the...

I deleted that post, no reason to throw shade on Steeda, without evidence. Oddball brake fluid contamination occurs on many cars, I checked. must have been lucky not to encounter it earlier. Brakes and clutch feel fine. I'll flush and not worry about it.

My Excel is smart enough to recognize a CSV file and generates a pretty, huge, spreadsheet. When you open in Excel be sure to specify CSV. I was prompted. The stock Ford software also sometimes hangs for a minute on large log files. But if it's just datalogging you want there are other ways...

This guy crossed the US in about 26 hours, averaged 108 MPH, and got 12 MPG: https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a32917037/a-man-drove-solo-across-america-in-25-hours-55-minutes-in-a-rental-mustang/ He installed extra fuel tanks. He also claims the top end was 159.

You have hit the mark. A going-over for cosmetics is not too expensive, if you care, and then you still have a performance bargain.

3 year lifetime MPG, I log EVERY fill up, and I'm fun at parties, 12.32 MPG. I'm having a lot of fun.

I chalked the air box rubber, closed the hood and here's the location. They missed the vent. Decent seal anyway. The air comes in behind the grille just fine, don't really need the vent. Only gap seems to be at that push pin. The red circle is where the relocated vacuum elbow presses and puts...
