Low speed starting off or slowing down, sounds exactly like a twig or small stick caught up in the wheel and slapping the wheel well. It did this last year on my way to work one morning. I pulled over and couldn’t find anything. Noise stopped after that. Yesterday morning, same thing. Pulled...

Back in May I moved to an area that I am learning that gets heavy fog before sunrise. Real heavy.. Just this morning it was so bad I almost did a U turn and went home to wait on it to clear up. Instead, I came to work (doing 25 MPH for the first 10 miles then crept it up to 45 for the next 20...

My turn....Just rolled over 56K miles. Warranty expired this past November 5th since I took delivery on 11/5/14. Got out of the car in pouring rain on Monday and thought I smelled antifreeze, but didn't think twice about it. Yesterday driving home on the interstate, the over temp warning lit...

I picked up a used PP1 rear spoiler but it came without the nuts (I can easily source these at a hardware store if I have to) but the biggest need is the gasket/seals that stick the wing down to the trunk lid. Are these available separate from the complete spoiler package?

Been reading, no real answer found. But I’ve got early stages of the dreaded hood rot, beyond warranty so I’m looking at one of GT500 style hoods. Obviously Cervini’s won’t rot again. But I’m also looking at one of the aluminum aftermarket hoods that in my opinion looks better than the center...

No current updates done to my iphone 6s, no updates done to my Sync since probably 2 years ago. Running IOS 10.3.3 Blue Tooth to Pandora is my music setting I always leave it set on. Always on auto play. All of a sudden I'm experiencing an issues where I have to open Pandora, select a...

134a? Or something new? I'm buying a freon sniffer to video it going off in the vents for the dealership.

When I dropped it off yesterday evening, I told them I have been smelling freon when cranking the car up after it sat out in the sun all day. I've had the white film on my glass too. So today they call me and tell me they found a leaking Schrader valve under the hood. So I asked the guy how...

Tomorrow evening I drop of my GT to get the evap coil replaced. Console has to come out to pull the dash. Do they need to pull the shifter for clearance? I've written up a quick instruction sheet for the tech. Basically telling him to pop off the trim ring and leave the boot in place. If...

How long does it take for your A/C to get cold after sitting parked in the hot sun all day? I work in a downtown area. I crank up my car, roll down all the windows and start heading towards the interstate. About 4 or 5 miles of stop and go traffic lights. Car will not cool off (100 degree...

I'm always playing the "what if" game. Every time I stop, I scan my surroundings and then watch the rear view. This just saved my ass about an hour ago. Stopped due to a car making a left hand turn. Guy turning was about 6-8 cars in front of me. I slowed down early and left plenty of room...

Just rolled over 29K miles and Nov 5th will be 3 years. Starting to think about the extended warranty through Flood Ford. First, I have no plans to mod or supercharge the engine or tune it. I'm happy with what I have. Now I will eventually install an RST clutch. But my concerns are expensive...

Check out Discount Tire on eBay. They are offering $100 off on purchases over $450. My local store price matched to include tax and ordered mine Wed. evening. Got the call yesterday on the way home and they are already in. Going on this afternoon! Got the Extreme Contact DWS06's in...

Over the Christmas break I did an oil change and checked all fluids, to include the battery. I had to add 8 oz of distilled water. One cell was VERY low. Just a heads up, I know a lot of people never think about checking a battery anymore since the common thinking is all batteries are now...

Comments from Blackstone Labs on my oil report. my first two oil changes were at 5000 miles each. The third one I did and used Mobile 1 (non extended performance) 5W-20. Ran it 10,000 miles. I didn't run it quite the 20 minutes before changing the oil, but I did get it up to operating temps...

Holy crap, seems like the rental car of choice in Maui is the Mustang convertible. A broad mix too. GT's, V6 and EcoBoost. And a few hard tops. I asked about upgrading, but the cost of the upgrade for my time here was equal to my monthly payment due when I get home. :eyebulge: FWIW, it...

Picked up my sons '95 GT from the transmission shop today after a rebuild. Asked the owner about putting in an RST from McLeod. Not sure if he realized a flywheel change too, but he quoted me $350 labor. At 54 years of age with really bad knees, $350 beats the hell out of laying in the...

Not me though. :D Driving home from work last week with the windows down, enjoying life. Traffic isn't too bad. One of the main routes through town, 40 MPH limit. We're all cruising along about 45. All of a sudden a guy in a new edge SN95 Cobra comes up on my right, does a 4K-5K rev and drops...

I've been all through the menu and owners manual. I know there is an oil life reading that gives you a warning, can you see the current status somewhere? :shrug:

This is going to take some getting use to! Had an issue with the bushings being too tight and the linkage locking up when the bottom plate was tightened down. Had to open it up some with a round file. But 1-4 is really close and 5-6 are spaced like stock. Almost scary going from 2-3 and 3-4...
