In 2013 Van sold me a SPEC SS trim stage 2 clutch kit for our GT500, as of today the car has more than 82k miles on it, and the clutch has 61245 miles on it....... yes you read that right over 60k miles. This car is a daily driver, with a mix of stop and go, in town and freeway miles. Only one...

DIRTY, SUMOBITCH, LYING, ASSHOLE previous owner. My car WAS wrecked......:nonono: I have seen a few clues over the last few months..., but nothing I could call the guy a dirty POS..on..... But as I went to replace a leaking right valve cover gasket, I found the timing cover cracked in two...

This is install number 2 for the SPEC Super twin SS trim clutch and #3 SPEC clutch install over all in as many months. ( all different cars not re-dos ) It was finally time to install this one as the clutch had started to slip under boost in 6th. Started at 1830 with pulling on to the...

Out for a day drive, 96deg ambient temps. Stopped for a snack and it over heated blowing coolant. Figured I'd find a holed hose, but no it was. Oil over from the cap and the fan was not running. Fuse is good as are the relays (swapped with other known good one) So power issue or fan motor dead...

Had a breaking induced front end vibration last few weeks,,, decided it was time to have the rotors turned and some new Hawk HPS pads. Pulled the rotors this evening,,, damned if I did not find a hub bearing LOOSE, noisy and the grease cap had some water in it. :fm: Had planned to put a...

This is the part where I discover what a foot tastes like.....:nonono: As I spoke of MY camber plates not making any noises :dw: and they do not, the MM plates on our 2005 S197 GT make no noise at all in 62,000 miles of use. So when it came time to order camber plates for our 2007 GT500 I...

My '05 S197 has wheel Hop... the '07 GT500 does not, of course it has more power and no traction... the F1's just spin 1-3. I know, the OEM F1's are crap...... but as a daily driver I can not run DR...so a compromise tire will need to be found. And then the suspension.. I'm dealing with...

The aluminium trim pieces that the arrows above point to.. Anyone know if those are replaceable as a service part? I've looked though Tousley ford on line parts pages and not found them. The PO of my car dinged those trim pieces in a few spots, nothing bad or structural, but my wife and I...

Anyone familiar with the craft shop on post? Have 2 or 4 post lift available at home? or worst case know a trusted shop where I can drive in, and be under the car with the tech? Just drove in from Ft Hood, and have a suspension rattle I need to look at. Pretty sure I know what it is, as the...

What do you do when on a road trip and you find yourself in octane hell? Change to a 91 or 90 tune? Use octane booster? Stay out of boost and high load, feather the go fast pedal and take it easy till better fuel can be found? At home I have 93 at many stations Finding west Texas has...

Can not read DTC after the Jon Lund Tune was installed..... Post tune I went to check DTC's, and got P1000 OBD-II Monitor Testing Incomplete. Tried to clear it, no dice.. Seems to be running ok. Did about 12 start and stops with 60 miles. Same deal today, P1000. Need to drive the...

What paint code, brand most closely matches the blue powder coat on GT valve covers? Love the blue. But think a paint or maybe a gloss finish powder coat will do better on my car then the powder coat finish found on the FFRP covers. Thanks
