my tob is making noise, few suspension squeaks, and thats all i could think of for now.. and some times the car grinds when im putting it into reverse, but that could be fixed with the secret sauce?

I prolley have the Mach with the most miles here, i am at 94k, had it since 70k, differential that was fixes at Ford before i got the car and the TOB, other than that it's a beast to drive, I've seen a guy that had somewhere around 250k on his as a daily driver and said she still drives like a dream straight from the showroom floor, he is on the Mach1registry.com forums.

My tranny blew 3rd gear at 7000 miles drag racing it and also the rearend blew after about 190 passes on drag radials. The trannys been great since the plastic quadrant was thrown out and a Steeda tri ax added.
