    What have you done to your mustang today?

    Last Wednesday got hit by a stone on the passenger side of the windshield. Resulted in the classic star break. Today they came over to the house to do the repair. Ten minutes after they arrived, setting up to do the repair, cleaning the glass, the guy stepped over to the van to get more cleaning...

    transmission delay tiny bubbles in fluid.

    You aren't filling it - you think it is overfilled, but when it is in park and you fill it I found that it doesn't fill properly. The proper process as I was told when I had this issue was that the car needs to actually be in drive in order to get it to the correct level.

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    Actually yesterday (Saturday, April 18, 2026) went to the National Mustang Day event for MOCSEM, started the day at Flat Rock Assembly Plant where the Mustang is built. Had a police escort for about 100 Mustangs parade over to I-275 for a drive to the second location. Steve Saleen was there to...

    What else would you do "while you're at it".

    On the 4.0 a common failure part is the plastic thermostat housing. It is often misdiagnosed as a bad water pump.

    Supercharger install shop around Detroit?

    Check Alternative Auto, Lidio does a great job and tunes. No idea what he charges to put a supercharger on but you should check with him. He is on the east side of Detroit (Chesterfield, in Macomb County).

    2010 mustang stalls immediately after start

    When you replaced the coil pack and wires did you connect them properly? One side is in numerical order (driver I think) but the other side is not and it is a common mistake when connecting it back up. Is the coil pack OEM or aftermarket? People have had issues with the aftermarket coil packs...

    The Copart Salvaged S197 3.7L

    Good luck with your project. As someone who tried to turbo a 3.7, and blew it up 3 times, I can tell you that engine is not boost friendly. It doesn't handle more than 8lbs of boost well.

    2007 GT Rear suspension concern?

    Actually a better shot would be a picture on ramps so that the suspension is loaded for the picture. If it is hanging, like in the pictures you posted, that doesn't really tell what is happening. In fact, when you put the control arms on the car, did you install them that way? In other words...

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    I took my 2024 to the dealer because of a noticeable "clunk" in the front going over any bump. Had to replace a front strut. All good now, and done under warranty.

    08 Mustang with x-charger

    Xcharger has gone closed business so you can't contact them anymore. But if you go to Facebook and look for the page for Mustang Collective, many of the members there had Xcharger cars and may have manuals and such that can help you.
