  1. Used & Higher Miles - OK?

    The car I found and bought was a Nevada car. It had sand and clay baked onto the transmission pan to a surprising degree.. I got most of it off when I changed the fluid. Also someone left the engine splash guard off sometime during its former life, so I bought one and put it on.
  2. Used & Higher Miles - OK?

    I know this thread is slightly dead (no replies in a couple of weeks), so the OP has probably already made a decision, but since I recently bought a 2017 V6 Mustang with 79K miles, I'll reply. I test drove two mustangs; a '16 with 43K miles and a '17 with 79K. The '16 had some groaning /...
  3. Spare Tire Tale

    My 2017 Mustang is just the base V6 (which I love), without PP. I decided to go 'old school' and forego some trunk room (it's just me and my wife, and we don't take the kitchen sink when we travel). I found a new aftermarket wheel for $50, and am putting a good used tire on it. The cost is...
  4. Consumer Reports Crappy 15 Mustang Reliability

    When the OP posted in 2016, CR was talking about nearly new cars. Since the average reliability in CR's ratings for new cars is 1% or less problems for pretty much all of their categories, this could be a case where there were a few early failures and it kicked the % a little too high, even...
  5. Is grabber lime to much of a “fad color”

    Just my opinion, but that color wouldn't be my first choice.
  6. (unconfirmed) Source of AC Evap Failures Possibly Identified [POLL]

    So from those reporting, there are 187 failures among members of the Mustangg6 forum..? Just for fun I looked at the approximate number of members of the forum (827 pages at 50 members per page), guessed that 75% have S550 Mustangs, (roughly 30,000), and divided divided 187 by 30000. This...
  7. pan leak

    I don't have a GT, but could it be something relatively simple like a dipstick tube O-ring that would cause it?
  8. Harbor Freight Recalls Jack Stands That Could Suddenly Collapse

    I had two sets of the 3 ton HF jack stands that were recalled. I returned them yesterday. I spent a day crawling around under them last week, but like others, I take precautions and have wood stacked under the tires.. That way if a jack stand fails, the car bounces a little on my belly but I...
  9. Mustang vs Camaro vs Challenger

    I recently bought a 2017 Mustang. Just the base V6; I really enjoy the combination of power and gas mileage, and I love how the car looks inside and out. I also test drove a few Camaros of similar year (also V6). I figured I could have lived with the visibility issues on the Camaro, but two...
  10. Introduce yourself!!

    Thanks. The water pump decided to fail last Saturday, so I spent Saturday evening replacing it. I've been working on the mechanical side more than I've been driving it, what with the transmission fluid / filter service and the diff oil change and now the water pump. I hope things calm down...
  11. Introduce yourself!!

    Here's the only one I have so far. With the higher miles, I was more concerned about changing the fluids.. Now that that is done, I can shift focus to the exterior..
  12. Scotty says NEVER buy an Ecoboost!

    I sometimes watch for the entertainment value, ie the flailing arms.
  13. Introduce yourself!!

    Hello, I'm Landon. I just bought my black 2017 Mustang V6. I love the look of the S550 Mustangs. Looking forward to enjoying driving this car for a long time. I bought it with 79K miles, but it drives like a dream and the price was right. I just changed the diff fluid (55 oz of Mobil 75w90...
