For me, shipping from Tasca has gotten too expensive due to distance. My approach is a few steps. First, I find the part number using Rock Auto or Ford Parts Giant. Then I Google search the part number. There are dozens of Ford dealer websites and they all look identical but prices and shipping...

Regardless of mileage, if I was buying an 18 year old vehicle I would immediately plan on changing all fluids. Not just oil and trans, but rear end lube, coolant, brake fluid and power steering fluid. My sister recently picked up a 2011 Ranger and we went through it and it made a huge difference...

When I bought my F150 (crew cab 4x4) I removed the spacers on the rear axle because the ass end was jacked up so high, just like yours. IMO it looks much better with the rear wheels actually in the wheel wells instead of under them. Gets the truck closer to level, doesn't affect hauling or...

Actually it's because the cheap paint I use fades out. No flaking or peeling. Florida sun is brutal on paint, cooks it to death.

Doesn't matter if it is a GT or a Shelby or a base model, they all used the same wiper motors. If it fits the wiper motors it doesn't matter what they say it is for. A wiper arm is a wiper arm. Also, repainting wiper arms is not 'ghetto'. I've done it for decades on my older vehicles. It is...

I used the Melling high volume pump in my last 3v, a 2005 F350 with the 5.4. Truck runs great now and no issues with oil pressure any more.

As others have stated, start by swapping coils with the affected cylinders and known good cylinders. If the misfires stay on cylinders 2 and 8 after doing that, then you may want to closely inspect (or pressure test) your intake manifold. If the previous owner did the 'ugga dugga' torque method...

Moisture in a connection froze and interfered with conductivity. Once it warmed up it was fine. Prolly just a loose connection somewhere.

I only paid $36k for my 2014 GT California Special brand new. I traded it in 2019 and the dealership sold it for $24K with a one piece driveshaft, Boss 10" rims with Michelin Sport Cup tires and other add ons. It had 25K miles on it.

I have my stock front and rear suspension off my 2014 Mustang GT but I'm in Florida and the box is pretty heavy. I took it all off the first week I owned the car (less than 50 miles on it).

The 5.0 is the only engine I would buy in a Ford pickup. My 2016 has 85K and has been perfect. If I want more power I can drop a blower on it and get 700hp easy. And it is good for 300K miles or more. The 3.5 Ecoboost is already maxed out and you are looking at expensive repairs at 150K miles.

I have no idea what will or will not fit. But I know who I would ask, and he is an expert on all things Ford and supercharged for the last 20 years. My friend Justin Starkey, owner of VMP Performance. He has a knowledgeable staff manning the phones so call up and ask.

I agree with Robert. A good tune makes all the difference in the world. I may be biased because I've been using him for over 12 years, but Justin at VMP has done me right on every vehicle I have owned in the last decade+. Ford is notorious for terrible shift characteristics trying to meet the...

Yes. quit topping off your tank. It overflows into the carbon evap filter and soaks it, preventing it from venting. Just live with it until it clears up and quit trying to round up to the next even number when the pump shuts off. Sometimes holding the gas nozzle sideways helps it flow better...
