    Trinity Price Inflation?

    Congrats! I think $58k, for a Track Pack, 6 yr old car with 7 miles you got a good deal. My base model new was $58k in Jan 2014.

    Idle speed

    ^ This, especially if you have a "wet" oiled air cleaner. I had a wet K&N that fouled the MAF and made the idle irregular.

    Anyone else daily driving?

    I drive mine daily, just passed 50K miles and January will be six years since I picked it up. No issues, just swapped tires from MPSS to AS 3+ as I am planning a move out of SoCal in 21'. Also, changed out plugs and gonna swap tranny fluid out.

    Battery Time...

    Yea the heat I am sure is what cut the life on mine to 3 years, almost exactly. I also had some corrosion on the + terminal and the heat and corrosion ate up the battery blanket, so I had to replace that as well.

    Ticking Noise

    Every Mustang I have had, since my first 92 LX 5.0, has had the "ticking" noise. No issues with any of them from it, heck no issues with any Blue Oval car I have owned. My Legal council and marital therapist have recommended the following disclaimer to any statements I make, "Other's...

    Mobil 1 ATF in 6spd = Shifts like butter

    I would, I personally dont see any sense in mixing two different brands ATF. Eng oil that meets the same specs, well, probably not as big a deal. Others with more knowledge on fluid composition may say different. I dont have a track pack, but even then I drained, filled with Mobile 1, ran it...

    Mobil 1 ATF in 6spd = Shifts like butter

    Shop Manual

    The search feature on the Helm program is like from Windows 95. It is not in any way intuitive and you have to really think out your search word. It is also on Windows only, no Mac. Is the AlldateDIY a website?

    A couple of oil change tips people hardly ever address.

    I started working in a Gas Station at 16, did a lot of oil changes and always prefill the filter and oil the gasket. For the GT500, I will put a couple shop paper towels in the plastic bag to soak up the oil and helps with the heat. The plastic bag makes it convent to turn in for recycle, just...

    tranmission fluid change

    One more point I don't see posted here, if your not using a lift, make sure the car is level, reference refilling. I was surprised at the noticeable difference Mobile 1 made. So this is worth the effort

    Airbag recall

    Here was my experience two weeks ago. I scheduled it online and gave them the vin # and the recall number. Thought I should probably make sure they know its a 14' GT500, because I knew the 500's get the whole bag (inducing the cover with snake) replaced and with the Mustangs just the ignitor. I...

    Is this right?

    This is the windshield wipers and it looks like a weatherstrip grommet is missing. Both of them are like this and i never noticed it, but I think I would have. It looks like water will go straight onto the wiper motor. Did someone snake my grommet's...

    Detail Day

    Did a full detail, strip, clayed, correct (couple scratches from the dealer), glazed, sealed the matte stripes and sealed and waxed the paint. http://s1373.photobucket.com/user/kws2306/media/042014-01_zps8c4cd0e9.jpg.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;></a>"]http://[/URL] http://[/URL...
