    AC not blowing cold air.

    Based on my own experience in this problem I'd venture my guess that the fitting along the front R/S frame rail by the condenser is the culprit, it's the liquid line from the condenser . I believe it's caused by the engine torqueing over time and slightly twisting the connection. Don't despair...

    Who's ported Eaton is this, any way to tell?

    It could be an Apten port, I have one on my 03. I believe Bob Steigmeyer was doing them back in 05-06 then opened his own business to do them. That may explain why there's no identification, same as mine. By the way, stay away from those aluminum press on only pullies, I had one and one day it...

    Back to stock ride height

    Just a couple thoughts you may consider. Check with your local parts store or MOOG for a set of stock replacemnt springs. Another thing that nobody seems to mention is dropped spindles. There are sources out there that can supply them, The best thing about them is you retain the same qualities...

    12k-Mile 2003 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Coupe on BaT

    Bob, we've talked before when I purchased some shifter gaskets for both Mustangs. I learned the hard way many years ago when I ran up the miles on my 70 Boss 302 which I ordered when I got out of the Navy in Oct. 69. It had 4:30 rear gears close ratio 4 speed, oil cooler and no P/S, you can...

    Any feedback about Rotorpro's Rotors?

    I have them on both of my Mustangs, 86 GT front and rear, 03 Cobra front and rear, never had any issues with them. Also, I live in WI. and don't drive either car in the rain or winter months.

    If Dogs could talk...........

    The reason dogs are so loved is because they wag their tales instead of their tongues. My two bassets are GT and NOVA, they're a nose with legs. Sorry no pics.

    New Mustang Release

    I'm glad I'm not a Ford Tech any longer and am retired. In my opinion Ford did okay with the design but the dependance on gadgets and options is over the top. There's alot going on with that car, not to mention how the hell long will it take not only to order one but diagnosing weird problems...

    Alternator question

    When I was a tech. I saw that many times, in all likelyhood the nut that secures the B+ cable was loose and the connector started to arc, which caused it to further loosen and the rest is history. Word to all, check that nut on the B+ terminal from time to time and make sure it's tight. Vinnie...

    29 years ago

    20 years ago today I prepped, purchased, and drove my 03 home. I had originally thought that I wouldn't put no more than 500 miles a year on it. Well that first year of ownership I put 610 miles on it. Since that time (19 years) it has an additional 1750 miles added. I retired in 2010 and am...

    DID I SCREW UP?

    Compared to newer cars this is "Jurassic Slap Ass", as far as technology goes, it's pretty basic . Start by seeing if there is power at the alt. with a test light, if there is the problem is elsewhere. The fusible link will be soft or melted if it's burned out so check with a test light every...
