    Trunk trim fastener frustrations

    Can anyone post a for sale link with the correct application? When I do a search for "D1420 Well Nuts" I get all sorts of sizes. Thanks

    100k miles

    Some of the people in the industry said that flushing coolant for any other reason than a flush are not really going anything especially if using current coolants. It's not a big deal to do,just a thought...

    Battery type?

    I "inherited" a AAA battery in the Saleen. Would have much preferred the Motorcraft but the current one is still strong. I do disconnect it if the car has to sit for a while.

    100k miles

    My daily drive is 30 mi each way mostly on a freeway with few curves. It wouldn't make any sense to beat up the Saleen as a DD. For weekend canyon runs I have several bikes I can choose from plus 2 track bikes for the track riding. If I sell the Saleen I doubt I'll try replacing it with...

    100k miles

    Wow, quite a bit of very useful info. Surprised that the service advisor at the dealer didn't know much besides the oil change. Dropped the oil yesterday, swapped the filter and drain plug. The Salween has just a hair (few miles) under 100k. I'm at the crossroads of whether to keep or sell...

    100k miles

    My 2006 4.6 MT5 is about yo crest the 100k mile mark. Called and asked the service advisor at Galpin what service should be done at 100k. The reply was only an oil change since the car runs great and no MILs on dash. Car just passed smog 30 days ago, doubt the PCV will need replacement. Jury...

    S197 GT owners: What’s it like as a daily? Coming from a New Edge GT

    Had a soft spot for s197 and even a softer spot for an s197 Saleen. Bought it 4 years ago with 89k miles on the clock from the original owner. Came with a stack of service records which were mostly for oil changes and scheduled service. Was my daily when I worked 5 miles from my house, now...

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    Had the windshield replaced after a rock chipped and cracked it. Installed a new OE SALEEN windshield decal. Oil change tomorrow with OE filter and oil, she's good as new.

    Rebuilt title 2005 Ford Mustang Deluxe Convertible 4.0L v6, is it a good deal?

    The gaps on the passenger front around the fender and bumper look off. In fact the right fender appears misaligned from looking at the last photo. Definitely inspect front inner structure (right apron, radiator support, etc.) for damages. The misalignment seen could be a sign of a structural...

    Will there will be a run on S197 cars shortly?

    Clean low mile one owner GT will burst out first with V6 S197 lagging pretty far behind, similar to what all classic 'Stangs are experiencing. Mustang was a performance car first, so those with snipped cojones will always be a "bargain alternative to getting into a classic Mustang". What is...

    Looking for Mustang Indie Service in LA/SFV/Conejo Valley

    I have a 2006 S197 Saleen and looking for a recommended independent tech located in San Fernando or Conejo Valley area. Los Angeles will work as well.

    Where the hell are all you SoCal people???!!

    Just to revive this lifeless thread, I’m in SFV and a member of Valley Mustangs Club. Given the current situation, needless to say their events are all shut down until further notice but it’s a good venue to consider if you are close enough to the area.

    Has anyone replaced tail lamp bulbs with LED?

    i contacted superbirghtleds and the only 3157 canbus bulb they have is in amber, red is not available.

    Has anyone replaced tail lamp bulbs with LED?

    Great idea with the bulb swap, will definitely try that. I’m going to hook up a decent scanner and go through the sequences described above to see if the error can be pin pointed. My reason for going LED was to get a brighter output to combat tinted lenses, hence I may end up installing diodes...

    Has anyone replaced tail lamp bulbs with LED?

    I did not elect to replace the harness with an aftermarket sequential one from AmericanMuscle, so the harness is OE. Tail lamps function as they should in all modes except when the turn signal switch is turned on. Then I get hyper flashing at the front blinkers and no lighting whatsoever from...

    Has anyone replaced tail lamp bulbs with LED?

    Correct. Sounds like 4-way is controlled by a different circuit. At least i know the bulbs are plugged in correctly... I have brake lights and tail lamps (when headlamps are switched on)

    Has anyone replaced tail lamp bulbs with LED?

    Thanks. Not sure whats going with mine.... Will open up the lamps and see if the bulbs are "seated" all the way into the plug and contacts are lined up although they work properly in a 4 way operation...

    Has anyone replaced tail lamp bulbs with LED?

    @08MustangDude, as mentioned in my earlier post the sylvania bulbs continue giving me issues when turn signals are turned on. It doesn't sound like you experienced anything like that... I will replace the remaining incandescent bulbs in the tail lamps to see if that cures the problem.

    Has anyone replaced tail lamp bulbs with LED?

    I received the LED bulbs and installed them Saturday. I tested each Sylvania bulb individually before butting up tail lamp assemblies and they worked as expected. Reverse lamps are superbright and well worth the $$. Hope they last. I took the car out in the evening and at the first use of...

    Has anyone replaced tail lamp bulbs with LED?

    Thanks again. Be sure to post about your sequential set up when you’ll get it all done. For now, I’m sticking with stock configuration. BTW, American Muscle has an incandescent sequential harness kit for around $110 (https://www.americanmuscle.com/cdc-dynamite-sticks.html) but the description...

    Has anyone replaced tail lamp bulbs with LED?

    @ MustangDude, researched the bulbs a little more and you are correct in that the Sylvania bulbs do not require resistors when used in our application. That is a huge plus.... My question, are you happy with the brightness of the tail lamps?

    Has anyone replaced tail lamp bulbs with LED?

    Iceman, thanks for the leads. vLeds is perhaps the best quality LED product I’ve encountered but it will cost me over $300 just to upgrade the tail lights alone. If I am to lay out that kind of scratch for the tail lamp upgrade I’d go with sequential tail lamp upgrade from American muscle...

    Has anyone replaced tail lamp bulbs with LED?

    This is what I came up with so far: Tail lamp and rear signals: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XVT9D1W/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3RND54X0X6PMP&psc=1 Reverse lamps: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074RFY776/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3RND54X0X6PMP&psc=1 I believe I will need...
