    One oily plug?....

    So a little background, if you haven't seen my introductory post from back in October. 2008 GT, 5-spd and I'm the third owner...more like the second owner, because they (second owner) only drove the car 2,000 miles in two years. I have all the history on the car and the previous owner changed...

    Dash Defrost Discharge Vent cracked

    Anyone have experience with this? My 2008 has very minor cracks, but squeaks, driving on certain surfaces...

    Another "sneaky" coolant leak thread

    Tried to do the front-side (remove the TB and Alternator) repair, but was unsuccessful, so pulled the intake off and replaced the cracked elbow. Other forums (and posts) describe the slow leak and associated "gym sock smell", proved to be the diagnosis on my 2008. See the pics, as the...

    Third Brake Light Bulb Assembly Melted

    Extraordinarily odd. If you haven't had to change this bulb, it's behind the third brake light assembly and accessible from inside the trunk (behind the trunk latch cover). This is what I found when I went to change it. The assembly is marked with 61A-3002-0430. Can't find anything like it...

    Alternator Options?

    I'm about to do the heater hose replacement (under intake), via the "remove the alternator" pathway, rather than taking off the intake. Thinking of just going ahead and replacing the 17 y.o. (116K mile) stock one, while I'm at it. Future plans for boost, so I think upgrading the stock unit is...

    TCS inoperable...more than one fuse location?

    After changing my center stack radio surround, the TCS button no longer works and I have confirmed (with the 8" of unprecedented snow in Baton Rouge, La.) the system is disabled, in real time (via wheelspin). I plugged the old stack back in and same. I found the passenger kick panel fuse and...

    Brenspeed Tunes?

    Have they gotten any better? Considering adding a "throwback" 1200 or 2200 Procharger system from them on my 2008 GT and wondering if the base tune is any good...

    Replaced dash cluster, need Odometer help/advice

    My 2008 Mustang GT "Deluxe" center stack had some cigarette burns (not mine, lol - see my new owner thread from October https://www.s197forum.com/threads/new-member-from-baton-rouge.146118/ ), so I looked at replacing. During my review, I saw a post about swapping the four gauge dash with a six...

    Squeaking windows

    What is there to do (other than replacing the weather strip/seal) in the window channel? I lubed the rubber/vinyl with RV weather strip treatment, but even trying to let it sit and wipe the excess off, it streaked pretty badly. The squeaking is better (sometimes doesn't make noise at all) and...

    Windows down wind buffeting

    ...where is it? New to the S197- https://www.s197forum.com/threads/new-member-from-baton-rouge.146118/ -and the weather finally cooled off enough to run with the windows down. Yes, we were still in the mid-high 80s, until this week. It's been (a long) eight years, since my last Mustang, but...

    Defrost Blend Door Actuator Replacement - 2008 GT

    Just wanted to report my experience with replacing the subject matter. While moving the A/C selector switch to defrost, I heard a plastic "pop" under the dash. Later that day, I switched to A/C and panel, but the cold air came out of both the defroster vents and panel vents and cooled the...

    Jack Roush "signature" seats?

    Just bought this car (2008 GT Deluxe) and it has these leather seats. AFAICT, it's otherwise bone stock (well, it does have an aftermarket shift knob on the stock shifter), meaning nothing else "Roush" on the car. The tracks and hardware look original, so wondering if this was a dealer option...

    New Member from Baton Rouge

    Howdy, all. New to the S197, but previous Mustang owner (and Ford die hard). Picked up a two owner 2008 GT Deluxe with 112,000 miles. Seems bone stock, but does pull harder than I expected (you know with all the dissing the 3v gets). I also like how the Vapor Silver doesn't attract the same...
