    Overheating Issue Suggestions?

    I have an overheating issue on my '06 GT that's got me stumped. Went for a 150+ mile drive a couple weeks ago. Didn't notice any issues (wasn't looking either so who knows) until I was on my way back after the car had been sitting an hour or so. When I got to highway speed, 70-80MPH...

    Throttle stuck issue

    Got a strange one on my '06. Getting throttle stuck closed error and it goes into limp mode. This all started while driving. Dealership said they couldn't do anything for me and charged $140 to find the problems I told them about when I dropped it off. Just hooked up FORScan and I'm getting...

    Suspension issue

    A little background info first. UPR panhard rod ends had wore to where there was some play, enough to hear and feel when hitting bumps. Replaced those and just put a new set of tires on since old ones were about out of tread. I've got the Ford strut mounts from taking them in on the TSB...

    Exhaust issue

    OK, finally got off my butt and installed the long tubes on my car. While installing them I naturally had to pull the cats and X pipe off. When I looked into the left side cat, there is nothing in it anymore and I know there was something when I installed them. The cats are SLP. What I'm...

    Alternator?

    Long story short, alt went out in my car, picking it up today from dealership that was only/closest place I could find to get replacement at a steal - as in them stealing the money from my wallet. I am planning on getting a better one than the Ford alt that's been put in it but would like...

    Window

    OK, so this isn't that technical but I've got an issue. Passenger side window will come down a little when I open the door like it should but it won't go back up when the door is closed. I figure it's not seeing the door closed switch but before I take the door apart does anyone have an idea...

    Headers and cam covers

    Selling a brand new, never installed set of JBA stainless long tube headers. These are not coated. Asking $500 shipped in the US. Outside the US I'll split shipping cost. Bought these a while back then found a deal on SLP LTs that will fit better with my SLP X. Also selling set of cam...

    Changing plugs, installing cams

    Finally decided to replace my plugs. Last week I bought the tool for removing broke plugs from Napa figuring if I had the tool, I wouldn't break any plugs. If I didn't get it, I'd have to drive the wife's car 40 miles to go get it. Well, my logic didn't work as only half of the plugs came out...

    Spark plug swap

    I've read all the potential problems with replacing plugs but still have a question as I'm about to finally replace mine and wanted to make contingency plans. If that stupid metal hood does come off and get stuck in there, shouldn't it be possible to put that plug back in and drive the car...

    Spydershaft vibration fixed

    Ron at Spydershaft had suggested that my pinion nut had loosened and was causing my vibration issues so the first thing I did was check that. Had to use an impact to get it off so I didn’t think that was it. Put it back on with loktite and torqued it down then went for a drive. Same vibrations...

    Torque converter swap advice

    After swapping my torque converter, I thought I would share some advice for anyone else about to do it that I learned. 1. Don't let the transmission fall off the transmission jack. 2. Don't have the electrical plugs in when/if it falls off the :mad2: jack. I had the thing on the jack and...

    Another cam install question

    Getting ready to finally get off my butt and swap the cams. I've been reading the Ford manuals and there's one thing I can't quite understand. For swapping the cams it says to start with the crank at 12 o'clock then rotate to 6 o'clock but not past that or damage might occur. The instructions...

    Brake line question

    Does anyone have an idea what size the fittings are going into the master cylinder and ABS module for the front brake lines? I'm pretty sure it's metric and 10mm but not sure about the thread pitch. Guess I need to get a metric thread pitch gauge.

    TC installation

    Anyone know of a good shop to get a torque converter swapped cheap in TX? The price I've been quoted so far is $375 and I'm looking for under $200. I figure I'll probably end up doing it myself.

    Quick M/T ET Street question

    Does anyone know what the tread depth on these are new? I've been searching and haven't found it. I may be buying a used set in a week depending on what they look like when I see them.

    Another &%!# Header Question

    I searched first and the answer didn't fall into my outstretched arms so I'm starting a thread to ask. I have a SLP catted X that I got a deal on installed. I had been going to get the SLP LT headers to go with it but 2 things are holding me back. 1.) From what I've seen there are LTs that...

    BMR K Swap question

    I've got a BMR K member sitting in my garage and will be swapping it soon. I would have done it while I was home last but waited on the dealership to change out my upper strut mounts first. I'm wondering about a few things and was hoping someone on here could enlighten me. 1. For those that...

    Quick stupid tuner question

    I know that in '07, Ford changed the PCM so that a different tuner is required. So I know I can't use my Predator for a '06 to tune a '07 but for diagnostics it should still work, right? I may need to check codes on a '07 V6 tomorrow and wanted to see if anyone can think of a reason it...

    May 25th?

    So, is there anything going on in Houston this Sunday night? I'm going down there Sunday morning to sit at a friend of mine's cigar club, drink and watch the Indy 500. I was just curious if there was anything car related going on that night so I have an excuse not to go to sleep, after I sober up.

    Earl's stainless brake lines

    I bought these a while back from Summit and finally got around to installing the front ones. Tomorrow night the rear lines go on and a new UCA. Even if you're not going to race your car, I would highly recommend getting these or a competitors set. I wish I had marked some lines in the road so I...

    Cam swap ??

    I'm looking at cams again and had a stupid question. Has anyone installed a new set of cams and not retuned for them right after the swap? I know cams need a tune to get the most power out of them and with higher lift it should change the AFR but I'm wondering if I could swap them and drive it...

    Memorial Weekend

    In case anyone is around Waco then, here's a decent place to be: http://www.prairiehilldragway.com/ Click on the events tab. It's about 20 miles East of Waco and is an old air base converted to drag strip. I don't have anything to do with the place other than showing up sometimes when I'm...
