I'm going to be replacing the clutch in my '08 GT500 this weekend, and I'm sure I won't be done in one day, or even by tomorrow. I just bought the following jack and jack stands from Harbor Freight...
I'm about to buy one, and I'm a little torn between which to buy.
3/8" Drive - 10-75 ft/lb capacity
3/8" Drive - 25-250 ft/lb capacity
1/2" Drive - 20-150 ft/lb capacity
They're all very similar, with the main difference being what I pointed out. They all have 1 ft/lb torque increments...
I'm not very mechanically inclined, but I'm going to tackle on the project with a friend who works on cars, but they're usually older V8s. Can anybody point me in the right direction? All I found online is the following:

I'm finally getting around to fixing the clutch in my car, and I want to know what else I should buy along with the clutch. I'm going to buy the McLeod RXT clutch and flywheel kit, and I know I need a slave cylinder. In regards to the cylinder, should I buy the Ford OEM, McLeod, RAM, or other...
Let me start this post by saying I'm financially smart, but I'm in a bit of a bind. I bought my '08 GT500 through my credit union a year ago, so I'm still making payments. When I bought her, I had a good job and enough in my savings to last me for quite some time. I then quit my job in and moved...
Just like many of you, the alternator on my 2008 GT500 went out. My car is mostly stock, save for Borla Stinger catbacks. Anyway, she barely has 25k miles on her, so I'm sure you can see my frustration. To top it off, she's my daily driver for now! I've been either walking to work or getting...
First off, I have an '08 GT500, bone stock, save for Borla Stinger catbacks. The car has about 24,000 miles on her, and I changed the battery at about 16,000 miles (about 6 months ago.)
Tonight, while driving home, I saw a strange message pop up on my radio, then it went away. Then it showed up...
I was driving to work and somebody with liability insurance rear ended my brand new baby! I got his name, phone number, and insurance. I took pictures of his car, and mine. What's the next step? I'm going to call his insurance, but honestly, I want my bumper and trunk replace because that's...
While my car was on a lift over the weekend, I was told that my front tires are wearing unevenly. When I looked at them, the insides of the front tires were worn, but the tire wasn't round anymore, it was bumpy. I was told I'd need new shocks.
I'm surprised, the car is a stock 2008 GT500 with...
Is it normal for the inside of the rear fender (inside the tire well) to have overspray? I have it on both sides.
All of these pictures are from the rear driver's side.
Given that the two have essentially the same engine (save for the built bottom end of the Boss,) but the '15 has the IRS, if both were modified to have an equally comparable suspension/tires and power, will the '15 GT run circles around the '12 Boss 302 on the track, mainly because of the...
So I'm in the market for a new Mustang, and I have my eyes set on a few cars. First off, the Mustang is going to be my daily driver, and my plans for the car are just to have a mean street machine, and something I can occasionally take to the track and drag. I also love cruising in the...
I'm in a little dilemma. I had found the perfect GT500 for me, only about 5,000 miles, bone stock, and babied all its life, always in a heated garage, etc., for only $32,000. A little pricey considering the year, but it's been completely unmolested. The only issue is that the clutch TSB was...
I'm in the market for a used GT500 and I think I found "the one." It's a bone stock 2008 with about 5k miles. The owner says he babied the car and never drives it. I asked him about the clutch and the TSB, he said he tried to get Ford to cover it under the warranty, but they just wouldn't due to...
I found a GT500 on at a used car dealership, and I have the VIN. Is there any way I can find who the previous owners were? Maybe somebody on here knows them, or maybe the car used to be owned by a member on these forums? If the VIN isn't helpful for trying to find the previous owners, maybe...
