    Note for anyone looking to run '24-25 wheels on their S197

    I posted here awhile back that I had picked up a set of '24-25 Performance Pack wheel and tire takeoffs for my car. I was putting the front wheels on and was having difficulty getting them seated against the face of the rotor, and then the hub dust cap pushed the center cap out. So, apparently...

    Does anyone know how to disassemble this type of electric connector?

    This is the main plug for the driver's seat. Since I swapped to a manual track, I want to de-pin the two big pins and keep the three small ones as that's all I need now. But I'm not sure how to get the pins out. I think that orange piece in the middle has to come out to remove the pins but I...

    Can an Explorer 4.6 3V coolant crossover be made to work on our engine?

    I found an 06-08 Explorer 4.6 3V coolant crossover for sale for cheap (compared to what the Mustang ones go for), have been thinking about this as I'm pretty sure my car still has the original radiator hoses on it and time may come that I have to change them out. The Explorer one looks almost...

    Is an 8 year old serpentine belt still good?

    I have a Motorcraft serpentine belt that I bought approximately 7-8 years ago (date on the packaging is 2017), it's been hanging up in my garage this whole time in a spot where sunlight never hits it. Any chance this belt is still OK to use?

    WTB 05-09 Front seat belt buckles

    Working on a seat swap for my car and I need a spare set of front buckles with good harness plugs on them. If you have the bolts for them that might be useful too but not a necessity.

    "Tick tick" sound from clutch at takeoff

    So about 5 years ago I did a clutch job on my car (new flywheel, new crank bearing, Luk clutch kit with ARP bolts, new slave cylinder, braided clutch line) and also installed a DSS aluminum driveshaft with red loctite on all the bolts. In the past couple years I have noticed a "tick" sound from...

    Does anyone with cams get a P0300 intermittent misfire code after extended idle?

    I've had cams in my car for 7 years. Every now and then I get a check engine light and it's always P0300 (intermittent misfire), especially if I let it idle too long. Is this common?

    Those of you with long tube headers- had any issues with exhaust alignment after install?

    So about 12 years ago I bought a set of JBA ceramic long tube headers and a used JBA catted shorty H pipe for my car. While installing the headers, I cut the factory over axle pipes to install mid-mounted Magnaflows. After installing the headers, I found out the passenger side collector was a...

    Raxiom Vector V1- pass. side doesn't sequential anymore

    Not sure if anyone would know anything about these lights, but I have a set of Raxiom Vector V1's on my car (have had them for almost 10 years at this point). Just within the last week or so, the sequential on the passenger taillight stopped working and I'm getting the "fast flash" when I put...

    Oil temp sensor. Do I need it?

    Couple weeks ago, driving to work and I hit a large rock in the road that busted my oil pan. Since I have an '05, I have the oil temp sensor in the pan and I cannot find a pan with a sensor port anywhere. Do I need this sensor? Or, how do I bypass it? I found it mentioned where you could use a...

    Weird front end vibration at highway speeds

    Alright so my car, at highway speeds (70ish mph) has a constant vibration through the steering wheel. It's not as noticeable going straight but you can feel it, and when you turn slightly for highway turns, the wheel wiggles back and forth big time. I didn't notice it as much before because I...

    Anyone removed the rear bump stops for replacement?

    Was rotating the tires on my car and noticed my driver's side rear bump stop foam is completely gone. I ordered a new set of bump stops, but I see the bolts holding the old bump stops to the axle are Torx :mad: Does anyone know if those are regular Torx or are they Torx+?

    Anyone here have aftermarket seats?

    My driver's seat is rough (not surprisingly since the car turns 20 this year), I already replaced the lower seat cover because the original one split in the middle, and now the upper has a hole in the left side lumbar support. I got the lower seat cover cheap because it had white paint or...

    Just bought some GT500 mufflers off a guy. Are these more or less the same as GT mufflers?

    So I found some mufflers on Marketplace, I thought they were just regular GT mufflers with some tips welded on but when I went to pick them up I found out they were '07-09 GT500 mufflers, part number F1-8143-R. I currently have OEM GT mufflers on my car, if I swap them out for these will they...

    Is there an aftermarket equivalent to the S197 factory mufflers?

    This past spring I put my OE axle backs on my car, which has long tube headers and a catted shorty H pipe, just to see how it would sound-- and I am blown away by them. The car sounds incredible, is still fairly loud, and yet has about half the cabin drone I had with most of the aftermarket axle...

    Clunking end links

    I have had this problem for years, replaced the end links, and still get it. I don't know for sure if I get it on left hand turns but definitely on right turns- if I go into a sharp turn at a good speed, on my initial turn-in I get a clunk from my driver's side front wheel area and I'm pretty...

    Aftermarket Bluetooth stereo- microphone placement

    This year I FINALLY decided it was time to ditch the OEM Shaker 500 head unit (with its peeling buttons) and finally get with modern times, so I bought and installed a Jense CAR710X double din head unit (which has Bluetooth, Apple Carplay and Android Auto). So, this thing comes with a wired mic...

    What's this third plug in the radio harness for?

    Bought a new head unit, working on installing it today and I find this third plug on the harness plugged into the radio. Every adapter harness I've seen only has the two plugs mine has so what is this one for and what am I supposed to do with it? Only has 2 wires coming out- pink, and...

    Does anyone know of any common Key off-Engine off power drains on '05-09 Mustangs?

    For the last couple years I have had something draining my battery when the car is parked for more than a week or so, and I mean it will draw it dead. I know I probably need to test some circuits but does anyone know of anything that commonly does this?

    Car running poorly/missing- part 2

    So I posted that the car was running bad on 1/4 tank or less of gas. Well, I have noticed that it actually running bad/missing at any fuel level, except it's totally random. For example this morning I drove it to work, started out OK then started to feel like it was missing mostly at lower...

    Car runs poorly when I get down around 1/4 tank of gas?

    I swear I am not imagining this... I only drive my car 2-3 days a week and my commute to work is not even 10 miles so I don't put a lot of miles on it. I noticed several weeks ago the car was running weird below 2500 RPM, felt like it was missing a bit especially starting from a stop and you...

    What is the largest tire that will fit in the rear spare well?

    And also will allow the carpet to lay somewhat normally? Last year I stripped my trunk to install sound deadener and found out that my spare tire was not only mostly bald, but also flat AND I had no jack or lug wrench. I put some air in the tire, and now this year I'm in the trunk doing some...

    Where does extra sound insulation make the most difference?

    So some of you may have read my saga last year where I found out my driver's floor pan was rusted through from water leaking into the interior. I fixed the floor, pitched the (waterlogged) factory sound insulation under the carpet, did sound deadener on the whole interior and trunk (minus the...

    Weird off idle stumble/miss

    Last week I drove my car on Monday and it drove fine, but I had to park it in the garage the rest of the week and was gone over the weekend, so I disconnected the battery. I reconnected the battery and got it out yesterday and the idle just sounded off but thought maybe I was just imagining it...

    Others with cams- do you get the P0300 code after extended idling?

    Ever since I installed cams, if the car idles for more than a couple minutes it's pretty likely that I will get a check engine light and a P0300 code (misfire). Thought maybe it was my old plugs that were doing it but today while idling in a long drive thru line I got it again. Is there a...
