:coolman: Interesting article on "Troubleshooting V-Ribbed Belt Noise" from the Gates website at http://www.gates.com/brochure Since fitting a RR 3.0 non-slip pulley and Gates belt, I am on my second chirping belt in 3000 miles. Was about to try a Gatorback belt, but the idea of reversing the...

:coolman: Engine comes out next week for new heads installation. Blew a plug on the passenger-side with ugly results on the plug-hole threads and shoulder, (Time-sert not feasible) and while that head is being replaced, seemed a good idea to bring both up to date. Car was born 8/02 and no...

I am interested in the LDC Cooling Mod. None of the LDC e-mail addresses for their web-site are working for me. The e-mail address posted this week on FlyingHigh's posts will not work for me. There are no phone numbers on their site. Any ideas? Thanks.

:coolman: Bought from John at Socal Motorsports at a price no one can beat. Call him at www.socalmotorsports.com, and let him know that you are a SVTOA Member and a SVTPerformance Forum Member. My son and I fitted the FIPK night before last. Was certainly easier for having two pairs of hands...

:coolman: Much discussion here on Ford Quality and Warranty issues regardin THE TICK, but no real clarity on whether modding (beyond CAI and Catback) increases the risk of getting the problem. Please throw some facts at this question......

:coolman: to those of you who have fitted sub-frame connectors.....do you think it best to have them powder-coated before fitting, or does this make the welding job the more difficult? What did you do about painting or rust-prevention on yours? Thanks for any input.

:coolman: Vert owners with tonneau problems......if you have had your tonneau cover blow off at speed, or just lift up and threaten to, here is a fix. I have attached leather straps (cut from a belt) to the back of the rear seat support, and, using snap-studs, clip them to the tonneau cover...

:coolman: Can't use "Search". so.... Has anyone fitted MM full-length sub-frame connectors (MMFL-3PC) to the '03? Any issues with the fitting or the results? Thanks.

:coolman: Any experiences with dealer warranty reaction to sub-frame connectors or strut-tower braces on the '03? SVT say they have no input on this, and that it is entirely up to the dealer.

:coolman: Anyone have trouble with the stock '03 CV tonneau cover lifting out of the front slot (behind the rear-seat). No matter how I try to jam it in, it comes up over bumps or at speed. Anyone have a cure?

:coolman: I am sure this is an elementary subject to many of you, but how do I remove the stock filter to switch with a K&N. I see that the filter box is secured by a single bolt and an O-clamp, but it does not look as though removing those will allow enough movement of the box. What else must...

:coolman: The service manager at my dealer tells me not to fit a K&N filter on my 03 yet. He says there have been several reports of superchargers pulling filter material into the system. Says K&N are working on a filter designed to fix the problem. Any insights?

:coolman: There have been several discussions on Ford Extended Warranty on the '03 Cobra, and owners have talked about having bought it from Ford. I ordered ESP from Ford 2 weeks ago, and today Ford Sales called to say that they do not offer it on the Cobra. Has Ford withdrawn the plan for...
