    Bad Instrument Cluster or…?

    Well…I have egg on my face now. My son decided to go rechecking over all of the connections. He found one connector going into the SJB that wasn’t fully seated. The locking lever was locked in, but the connector wasn’t fully inserted. Once fully seated, everything resolved itself. The...

    Bad Instrument Cluster or…?

    Appreciate it 86351GT. I’ll take a look for any water intrusion/corrosion. Also figured I’d look for any bent/misaligned pins in the connectors at the passenger kick panel. The cowl drains have been taken care of; a few months after I bought the car (2021) my wife took it to work and thought...

    Bad Instrument Cluster or…?

    I did think about low battery voltage and wanted to rule out that possibility; my SCT X4 was reporting 14.4x v at idle. I’ve haven’t had any issues out of either one prior. I’m definitely going back over each and every connection as well as looking for any grounds that may have come loose. I’m...

    Bad Instrument Cluster or…?

    I did scan the the car looking for trouble codes: This is what got me thinking that perhaps the IC had failed some how after reading on forums that Ford had issues with some of these flaking out. Now my initial thought is that all of these codes are most likely the result of something...

    Bad Instrument Cluster or…?

    DieHarder, Good question and I’ll check for a loose ground when I get home at the end of the week. I don’t recall having to remove any grounds when I took the dash out. I’m also going to go back a third time through all of my connections and make sure they are fully seated per Juice’s...

    Bad Instrument Cluster or…?

    Thanks Juice, didn’t know about the lights staying on. I did go back and double check all the connections, but didn’t see any that were not reconnected/seated fully. I read something on here about the IC making a “noise” when it is plugged back in. I don’t recall hearing anything, but at the...

    Bad Instrument Cluster or…?

    My 2007 Mustang GT…I somehow broke it Took an extra few days off work for the 4th of July weekend so I could work on my Mustang putting in leather door panels and a leather dash pad. On day one I disconnected the negative battery cable since I was going to be working with the doors open for...

    2010 Mustang Burned Out Cats

    Looking for some insight on how to proceed with my daughter's 2010 Mustang V6 base. Sorry guys, but this is going to be a long post. Car was purchased in Aug. of '22 with 127k miles, now has 143k miles. Other than some outer tie rods and a new thermostat housing, car has always run very well...

    Pedals too close together

    I have this issue as well. I can’t drive my Mustang with my work boots on; pretty much sneakers only.

    Air Bag Seats?

    If an airbag was present, it would have a certain resistance to it which would keep the airbag system happy. Since there is no airbag there would be an open line condition; a terminating resistor is installed to mimic the resistance as if an airbag was present.

    Brembo 4P/6P & Handling

    Thanks GriffX. I had read about that; is that the same as pad knock back? If I remember that’s why you can’t put fixed calipers on the stick rear ends. Although, some of BBK manufacturers have found a way to do it.

    Brembo 4P/6P & Handling

    Well it’s been a while since I posted to this thread, but I finally decided on my new brake setup and got everything installed this weekend. I want to thank everyone who responded with their feedback and suggestions. While I was originally planning on using 4P GT500 Brembos, I ultimately ended...

    Tire size

    My son has a ‘99 GT with 17x9 front and 17x10.5 on the rear. Tire size is 275/40/17 and 315/35/17 which you could run, but they are about 1.5” smaller in diameter. Also, the Cobra reps are probably meant for an SN95 with lower offsets. If you run 18’s in the front, tire diameter will probably...

    Brake Upgrade Different Sizes question

    The stock rotors are 11.8”, so using the larger 13.8” rotors in the rear will increase braking torque due to the longer lever which will be increased by 1” (1/2 of the change in diameter) I would assume clamping force would remain relatively unchanged at the rear since the stock caliper is...

    Appreciate the feedback, I’ll look at some other options.

    Brembo 4P/6P & Handling

    Silver, just exactly how noisy are the R6 pads? Looking for a pad with good bite; don’t care about the dust since I can wash my wheels. I don’t mind a little bit of noise, just so long as it doesn’t sound like someone who never takes care of their brakes LOL. Mostly street driven with spirited...

    Brembo 4P/6P & Handling

    Good to know, thanks. I’ve seen a few different places where it was said to only use DOT3 with a manual car.

    Brembo 4P/6P & Handling

    Ok thanks, I may try the DOT4 then or stick with the MotorCraft. Not sure yet, but I have time until the weather warms up.

    Brembo 4P/6P & Handling

    Silver, what brake fluid did you use? I see a lot of people recommend Motul 600 or ATE, but that’s DOT4. Don’t we have to use DOT3 with the manual? I usually just use Motorcraft DOT3

    Brembo 4P/6P & Handling

    Thanks for the info DieHarder. I did some more reading, looks like it’s possibly the s550 4 pots that need to be spaced from the spindle using washers. I ’think’ they are made by Continental, not Brembo, and are much larger than the 4 pot Brembos that came on the 07-12 GT500.

    Brembo 4P/6P & Handling

    DieHarder, that’s the setup I’m leaning towards and is quite cost effective. I‘ve seen some use washers between the spindle and calipers on the 4P setup. Is that what you had to do with yours? Or is that for the later style 4P calipers?

    Brembo 4P/6P & Handling

    Dino, I didn’t provide that information beforehand because none of it was relevant to the question posed. I do appreciate your input as I have read quite a bit of your comments on here and have learned quite a bit.

    Brembo 4P/6P & Handling

    Scarlett, I went with ESR CS8 in 19x10.5 +30 in Apex Blue. Got them for $155/piece plus an additional 10% off. Their website stated the 19x9.5 +35 would clear Mustang PP Brembo, so I called and confirmed the 10.5” width fitment with 6P Brembos...

    Brembo 4P/6P & Handling

    GriffX, yes the Akebono pads don’t seem to do much. I got the pads that were one level up from OE pads; I forget the name. I bought them because I had really good luck with them on a 2012 Nissan Altima coupe (it was my DD) paired with StopTech slotted rotors. Those pads and rotors went +60k...

    Brembo 4P/6P & Handling

    either way, I need to do something about the braking performance and I know the proper pads and rotors are going to have a lot to do with that. I have fairly decent pads and rotors on my car now, but they’re just not cutting it.
