    Can’t fill the gas tank

    Thanks. It is coming back to me now. Did a complete EVAP replacement on a Honda once. Replaced both the vent/shut valve and purge valve, plus canister (due to all the fasteners being rusty messes).

    Can’t fill the gas tank

    So, is it a quick disconnect at the top of filler neck and the tank? Then clear tube with compressed air? where is the "vent valve"? Mine seems to be getting worse, after winter storage.

    Advice on replacing the OEM NAV in a 2008 GT500

    Just the head unit for now, but you know how that goes! LOL Crutchfield did provide some good documentation/pictures on speaker replacement. Update/Edit: Almost done with the install, just a few minor details to button up things. Need to unplug the stack cover again to place a washer behind...

    Advice on replacing the OEM NAV in a 2008 GT500

    Thanks for the additional replies. Shopping around, the best price on the HU I could find (Ebay) was only $5 cheaper than Crutchfield. But the install accessories were deeply discounted if buying a HU from Crutchfield, so (along with Crutchfield's customer service and return policy) it worked...

    Pics of a 40K mile OEM 2008 clutch

    This one being a twin disk originally, I haven't noticed any more/ less noise from the clutch itself. But, I was actually talking about drive line "slop" or noise from the 2-piece driveshaft being clunkier due to it's weight and extra center bearing assembly. But, this is just my initial...

    Advice on replacing the OEM NAV in a 2008 GT500

    Left reverse lamp is dark green/orange. Right reverse lamp is white/yellow. These wires would be found in the trunk behind the panel in the harness that leads to each tail light. Not certain of the license plate light (hot) wire color, but it should be easy to determine by following the wires...

    Advice on replacing the OEM NAV in a 2008 GT500

    Thanks guys, yeah I arrived at the proper bypass method after a bit more research. I messaged the Ebay seller of this device and they say this works on all NEX hed units: Pioneer DMH-1500nex Parking Brake Bypass for video and settings DMH-C5500NEX I've also read that if installing a license...

    Pics of a 40K mile OEM 2008 clutch

    After 10 years and all the hoopla back in 2008 about these clutches being "defective", I am always interested in how long they have lasted for some of us folks. Thanks for the input.

    Advice on replacing the OEM NAV in a 2008 GT500

    I think I have arrived at the Pioneer DMH-C2550NEX as my choice, it has HD radio, no NAV or CD/DVD. Exactly what I was looking for and Crutchfield looks like the best source for unit, install kit and adapters. Thanks for everyone's input. On a side note, does anyone know if there is a parking...

    That's a pretty good thought. Thanks. I'll look at better units.

    Advice on replacing the OEM NAV in a 2008 GT500

    I have not been following the latest in head units and installation procedures for quite some time and am looking at installing a reasonably priced unit with Apple Carplay. I am looking at something like the Pioneer MVH-1400NEX or DMH-1500NEX or JVC KW-M750Bt. Would anyone care to comment on...

    Pics of a 40K mile OEM 2008 clutch

    Just had a McLeod RXT twin disk installed with OEM slave cylinder, McLeod braided line and DSS alum driveshaft. Cannot comment much on the new clutch as it is not broken in, except to say that the pedal is very light and there seems to be less driveline noise with the new driveshaft. Given the...

    2008 18" tire recommendations

    Thanks. I am currently leaning that way. Thought I'd plan out the alternatives before making a final decision. But, your point is well taken.

    2008 18" tire recommendations

    It looks like in order to match front tire diameter to rears I would need to go with PS2s on rear and PS3s on front (F:295/35-18 & R:255/40-18). Any real problem with that?

    2008 18" tire recommendations

    Thanks. It looks like the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 is the more expensive tire. Is that the one you are referring to? As opposed to Pilot Super Sport or PS3? I don't mind paying up for the best traction possible (on a street tire). And the Continental Extreme Contact Sport looks to be the...

    2008 18" tire recommendations

    Thanks, no not my daily, but I usually put around 4000 miles on it during the summer driving to work. Yeah, I should probably just replace the 555r in the back and maybe upgrade my 555 up front to 555G2 and call it a day. Pretty sure I will lament the loss of traction otherwise and the only...

    2008 18" tire recommendations

    Wheels are 10" in rear and 9" in front. Currently have Nitto 555R on back and 555 in front. 305/35-18 & 275/40-18. Around 540 rwhp. Looking to stay with current wheels and wonder if there is any non-DR combination that might be recommended and not lose too much traction. Like to stay close to...

    If the GT500 is $85,000 are you in or out?

    Reading this thread, it appears very few people posting here have any plans to buy at $85K. Let alone the actual out-the-door price. Whatever ford releases, I fear that GM is sandbagging the ZL1 and waiting to one-up Ford right after they announce specs. Without even raising the price of the...

    Ford racing airbox with jlt cai?

    I've got an original 110mm JLT CF setup with the cheap plastic (broken) "airbox". Has anyone used the Ford racing airbox with the JLT airtube and MAF housing without substantial modifications? 2007-2009 Shelby GT500 Ford Racing M-9603-M54SC Cold Air Kit *Air Box Only* | eBay

    Anyone else frustrated with Ford over the next GT500?

    This subforum has evolved into a black hole. Yeah, the real fun will begin when the car's specs and MSRP are released. Then people will actually have something to argue inanely over. Between the politics, threats and infighting it sounds like a Sarah Palin family reunion.

    Anyone else frustrated with Ford over the next GT500?

    If it is accurate that dealers were pushing back on an $85K price point, then it is not only the bean counters, but the salesman who are worried that the car will not sell well enough or there will be too few buyers with means. In a perfect scenario, sales, accounting and engineering would all...

    Anyone else frustrated with Ford over the next GT500?

    Won't it still just be "...another blown v8 with fancy shocks", even if it is slowly engineered?

    New Spy Shots—’20 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

    Though GM generally doesn't make big power updates between cycles, is it not possible that they might easily up the stakes on the ZL1 before (ar just as) a MY 2020 GT500 hits the showrooms? I would assume that a 6.2L with a 1.7 liter supercharger has left a lot on the table. After the 662 HP...
