  1. The Real Cost of a Cheap Mustang - What to Expect out of Bargain High Mileage GT

    True, the electronics can definitely be a weird one. For the longest time I had one bar on my right taillight not working. I replaced everything, tail light, BCM-B, Wiring Harness. Still didn't work, gave up. Last week it just started working on its own. No clue.

  2. The Real Cost of a Cheap Mustang - What to Expect out of Bargain High Mileage GT

    That's similar to the point I am trying to make with this journal. For me, a fully equipped gear head with a shop and a degree in electrical engineering, little stuff like this isn't a deal breaker for me owning a high mileage performance car. Dual Can-Bus Communications, Wiring and Mechanical...

  3. The Real Cost of a Cheap Mustang - What to Expect out of Bargain High Mileage GT

    Updated to reflect drivers side rear wheel bearing and speed sensor failure.

  4. Aftermarket Radio, Inoperable Buttons

    Okay, I now have a explanation for what was wrong with my buttons in case this happens to anyone else. The issues with the media buttons was cause by a lack of DataLink adapter, installing a proper Sync 3 system restored their operation. The bigger issue was the buttons next to the start/stop...

  5. The Real Cost of a Cheap Mustang - What to Expect out of Bargain High Mileage GT

    Updated to reflect changes after FourSyncTech Sync 3 kit install. I cannot recommend them enough. He took time out of his day to assist with a problem completely unrelated to his kit. Customer Service like no other! If your doing a Sync 3 conversion, save yourself the headache of sourcing all...

  7. What I learned: Clutch Replacment (NO LIFT)

    I am 24 and the thought of having to use a scanner to reprogram a car after changing a clutch and flywheel is ridiculous. But i guess thats the cost of modern cars.

  8. What I learned: Clutch Replacment (NO LIFT)

    Thats good advice, I just used a really good fitting sockets and stabbed them back in from the back.

  9. Loud bang

    Normal as in intended functionality, no. This is likely a CDF failure. Normal failure for a 10Spd, yes. Take it in, make sure it easily repeatable. Hopefully you will get the revised CDF drum installed

  10. What I learned: Clutch Replacment (NO LIFT)

    Stop back here if you have any questions. Im happy to help

  11. Cranking time exceeded

    My understanding of the way modern cars detect the car is cranking enough to start injecting fuel is they look for a specific RPM for a specific duration, then when they see the new higher RPM and Duration they disengage the starter. The fact that you can start the car from external power but...

  12. What I learned: Clutch Replacment (NO LIFT)

    Thats a good point. I only have Fords (Forscan), one Subaru (FreeSSM), and a 86 Pontiac (No Scanner Required). If you have alot of different brands, especially defunct ones like Saturn, a big scanner would definitely make sense)

  13. The Real Cost of a Cheap Mustang - What to Expect out of Bargain High Mileage GT

    Hello, As S550 prices on the used private party market continue to drop, I am seeing more and more people take a dive into ownership. I wanted to create this ongoing journal type thread to document the things that needed to be done to my car, the cost, and the labor (when applicable) to keep my...

  14. What I learned: Clutch Replacment (NO LIFT)

    Is this a ad or something, the whole point of forscan is to not take it to the shop?

  15. What I learned: Clutch Replacment (NO LIFT)

    Not a bad deal, but a Forscan Cable is 35 dollars, and a renewable 2 month license for Forscan is free. The value proposition for most people isn't there for a 479 dollar scanner.

  16. What I learned: Clutch Replacment (NO LIFT)

    Scanner would be nice. But I dont have enough Ford specific work to justify one, when 80% of everything a scanner can do is on Forscan lol

  17. Aftermarket Radio, Inoperable Buttons

    Not sure at the moment. Right no, NO audio/media buttons are functional, wheel or dash. I have a full Sync 3 system coming in from FourSyncTech. Ill update the post here if that brings my buttons back!

  18. What I learned: Clutch Replacment (NO LIFT)

    I'm glad you experience paralleled mine! These cars aren't as scary to work on as people think they are. Keep having fun!

  19. Aftermarket Radio, Inoperable Buttons

    No, none of them work, neither the dash or the wheel. Do you the TC, Steering Wheel, and Hazard button is tied into the radio comms?

  20. What I learned: Clutch Replacment (NO LIFT)

    This is the time. Adapter is 30-40 bucks and the procedure is a simple as it gets. Youll have it done in less time then it would take you to drive to the dealer
