...coming from I believe under the dash or center console. I only hear it intermittantly while going over uneven roads at slow to medium speeds. I was rear-ended a few months ago, and it must have started after that.... Any thoughts would be appreciated... Allan :shrug:

In one of the other threads, the topic turned to the fact that our pistons have a teflon coating on them which according to some people, has caused trouble with wear and scored cylinder walls. For me the feeling of deja vu fills me with dread. I had a '74 Vega as a kid, and I remember the talk...

I'm sure this info is buried somewhere in the database, but no search function makes it nigh on impossible to find. So...Anyone have any suggestions? :burnout: Allan

Anyone know what exactly gets changed with the stall-fix flash? I got mine done recently, and gained 2 MPG, and I swear that I get more speed for the same RPM's. Did they increase the timing, or lean out the A/F? I'm curious.... Allan

After the throwout bearing and clutch replacement under warranty, I noticed the return of the Skunk. It's nowhere near as strong as when the car was new, and I notice it mostly when I'm running the airvents with the top up. I can't believe that my cats are acting up again, and it is just too...

Check this noise out!!! http://www.caranddriver.com/xp/Caranddriver/previews/2003/february/0302_preview_magnum.xml I might have to talk the wife into trading the Minivan for this. Can you say 5.7 literBlown(!!) Hemi engine. Holy $hit batman!!! DODGE MAGNUM SRT-8 Vehicle type...

Picked up the 1/03 issue of the Conde Nast Traveler magazine, and lo and behold! An article on a driving tour featuring a "cherry red" '03 Cobra 'vert. The author had a lot of nice things to say too. Here's the link...

Anyone know if the '03 can use GM synchromesh trans. fliud? I've got 4 quarts sitting around that I was going to put into my '99 cobra, but with a T-56 instead of a T-45... Also, how many quarts does the T-56 take? And yes, I did run a search on "synchromesh", but got zero hits. Allan

Since mine is Torch red, I just had to do this: Sorry if the image quality is not great. All it takes is a toothpick and torch red touch up paint. Free if yours is T-red like mine, $8 otherwise. :beer: Comments? Flames? Allan PS I withstood the temptation to start a new poll :D

Linked off of Blue Oval News.... Making a car can be one hot potato Automotive News / October 14, 2002 Call it the allegory of the baked potato. This comparison of how different automakers might bake a potato has been making the rounds on the industry's e-mail circuit. In...

I'm full of questions (or something else if you ask my wife!!) I was wondering if anyone else had a vibration in their clutch that seemed to be most evident at reasonable speed, say highway speed? I used to have the shudder starting out in 1st gear, but that seems to have gone away. Instead, I...

Just got off the phone with a rep from SVT, and while I was asking him a boost dump question, I threw in a question about oil changes, synthetics and so on. I asked about Mobil1 5W30 and interval lengths between changes, and he said that Mobil 1 5W30 wouldn't hurt the car, and if your service...

Hey everyone, I seem to have a lack of response when shifting between 1st and 2nd gear. With the traction control off (light on) I accelerate close to redline in 1st, then shift quickly into 2nd. Unlike my '99, which would easily chirp the tires, the '03 seems to have a slight delay in...
