    2008 Instrument cluster change upgrade.

    My car is a stick, I never saw anything about manual vs Auto. I have not found anyway to reset the odometer. If I sell it there's so much done to the car, many new parts, I'll just claim exempt. Yeah, while I was doing the motor, etc, I shopped eBay for a cluster. Glad I did it. Good luck with it.

    Replacing 4.0

    If you are in Florida I can direct you to a guy who remans 4.0's only for around $900. exchange. All the timing chain upgrades with guides, etc. I did min, runs fine, I use it as a daily with muffler mod and cold air. Fast enough to get sideways and tickets in. I'd just fix and drive it or...

    Looking for a serviceable 18x9 American Muscle AMR silver wheel

    I'll give them a call. The only issue I see is the shipping issue/costs. I'm seeing some pristine 18" Ford wheels in the 18x8.5 that look nice, style wise, here in Florida for $400-$500 for all 4 wheels. If I can save this wheel for $200 or less I'd be good to go. Still looking around, waiting...

    Looking for a serviceable 18x9 American Muscle AMR silver wheel

    I bent one of mine and I'm looking for a replacement. I may be able to straighten mine but I'm not sure I trust anyone around here to do it. American muscle discontinued my wheel and don't have anything other than the 10 inch model which won't fit up front. I already have 10's in the rear so I...

    replacing a 4.0L

    If you were here in Florida, I'd turn you on to my guy who remans 4.0's, with a warranty, for $900 plus core, whic is $150. Mine runs great, enjoying my S197 stick car.

    Tuners?

    Anyone try the Thornton chip tuners that are advertised here on the site?

    Tuners?

    I don't always agree with everyone on here Mailman but I'm a newbie who just rebuilt a 08 S197 V6 stick car that had throttle response issues. I'm glad to see that the Mods on here respond on an average 7 times a day. It means there is help for us guys that are new to the S197, not that we don't...

    Coolant boiling over 05 mustang v6

    I agree with Dino, it's not holding pressure or maybe a stuck thermo. I just did my 4.0, added the aluminum thermo housing with a 180 degree thermostat. I'm in Florida, I also installed a new radiator when I did the motor with all new hoses and pump. Nothing to chance. My car Idles at about 200...

    4.0 resurrection from the dead.

    Still running occasionally rich, throwing a Bank 1 upstream o2 stuck rich every so often. I'm going to find a Motorcraft OEM or a NTK sensor for troubleshooting next. Car is still running pretty good. Occasionally throwing a EVAP tank vacuum code. Driving well. Just want the bugs gone.

    4.0 resurrection from the dead.

    Success, the Accelerator Pedal Sensor was the root of my problems. Idles smoother, no surging, not herk and jerk away from idle, it even feels stronger through the midrange. Very happy now.

    4.0 resurrection from the dead.

    TPS values are all very smooth, linear. The APS's first position of the sensor shows a value of 1.5, when you touch the pedal, it goes to zero, then a low negative number before jumping around then as you transition to the next position of the sensor which has a linear positive climb through the...

    4.0 resurrection from the dead.

    Driven the last 2 days, no codes so far. No CEL. I'll be doing the voltage checks on the TPS later today just to cross that one off the list.

    4.0 resurrection from the dead.

    I'm not throwing any codes with the old OEM sensors back in it. I'm waiting on my refund on these Ebay sensors, I'll have to look and see if I know the brand of them. My testing shows that the lean surging, if that's what it actually is, only happens at partial throttle opening using the pedal...

    4.0 resurrection from the dead.

    Looking for some opinions. I change out ALL the O2 sensors. All the sensors just F up the PCM, threw a bunch of codes, etc. After resetting PCM, doing all the things known, I removed the upstream O2's, put in the OEM sensors. Better but the downstream still threw codes, so out they came and back...

    Ford Performance 1" lowering springs for 2006 GT convertible

    FWIW, I would not lower mine any lower, it becomes too impractical for street use. I have 9.5 inch wide wheels with 255/275 tires. Nothing rubs. Good luck with your baby.
