    Silicone radiator hose installation

    I got a full set of silicone radiator hoses for my v6 mustang. They come with worm clamps, but I see people using the stock ford tension spring clips in review photos. Is either or both preferable? I read the worms need to be tight, 2 fingers on a 1/4" socket tight. I also have a few tubes...

    Does ignition coil color mean anything?

    I have been using a blue coil pack on my v6 ford. It performed better than the stock unit. I even tried a new black motorcraft unit and it wasn' t as good. Now i have seen and ordered a red coil pack. I saw somewhere describe the colors and say red is best with blue for weak spark. I also see...

    Bbk throttle body

    I am so happy I got this thing installed. I bought it open box at a huge discount. It was graded poor condition because of the rusty donor tb motor that isn't even included with the retail product. The tb itself is mint. I think the returner got confused during install because the plate wouldn't...

    Dollar tree STP Multi-Purpose Motor Treatment

    May be nationwide. The cashier said I was the second customer to buy a case. This stuff will make smoke come from your exhaust. Looks really cool. I put it in the pcv inlet behind the throttle body. Great for Halloween.

    Can you use a battery fluid tester to test coolant?

    These testers look the same except for the sticker. Are they calibrated the same though?

    New pcv valve fits but isn't listed as compatable.

    I bought a pcv valve the same shape and size as the original in my 4.0 mustang, Standard Motor Products V448 PCV Valve. Plugs in fine, same shape and size, rattles the same as I shake it with my hand. I Look it up online and it isn't listed as compatable with my car. My friend said pcv is...

    Throttle body codes but persist after swap

    After about a week of a knock with weird acceleration and a choppy exhaust sound my 2007 v6 mustang went in limp mode with codes p2100 p2104 p2107. The codes point to a throttle body so I tried a few new ones with no relief. I heard this can also be the gas pedal sensor so I plugged in a junk...

    Which would you use? I am using an additive for additional anti corrosion to compensate for a 33% coolant mix. I have 2 bottles of purple ice. Should i add 2 or maybe all 3?

    More and larger cooling fans

    I have a hayden 3710 16" fan i want to use to improve my cooling system. I was thinking i would trim the stock fan shroud and replace the stock 12" fan and then boom: airflow is improved by 4 inches. What worries me is the specs of the 3710 say 1500cfm. A guide i found said a v6 needs 2000cfm...

    Uv dye for specific applications

    I am looking for uv dye to add to my g05 coolant to find a small leak. I see there is gm for dexcool and then for coolant or oil. Then I see there is supercool multi use uv dye, but the reviews and comments caution against using it in coolant. Ideally I would like to buy one bottle and be...

    Can car parts be cursed?

    I saw an ad looking for mustang wheels and gave him my old set taking up space. I had taken them off when I got a nail puncture. Got it repaired but liked the spares I put on more. This happened about 2 months after I had a new set of tires on. Notice the same guy now has an ad up trying to...

    Penzoil 173 for motorcraft 820 applications

    The penzoil website lists it as the fit for my 4.0 ford, but it is listed as compatible with s500 but not the 820 specced. The housing is the size of s500. There is disagreement on forums that these 2 filters are interchangable. Should i trust penzoil on the matter or trash them?

    Mahle vs pentius

    I found some really old threads on here, saying pentius is "really good for a korean filter" while the box i have says " made in p.r.c". There is a big thread about mahle changing m.f.g. to china. I am leaning toward the mahle because it has micro-star tech. It is really bothering me and...

    Bar's gear repair 1816 differential fix experience

    I got this stuff and opened the Ford 7.5 fill plug. It was about 6-8oz low since filling about a year ago so I guess there's a leak. Filled and saved the rest for when I check next year. After adding it seems my transmission did a relearn, so this stuff alters the fluid enough for the...

    Advice on diffusers fins and bumper lip

    Ive decided to invest in the aerodynamic forces around my mustang with some body extensions. I'm thinking i will attach them with "speed clips" to supplement the included screws and a secondary adhesive over the 3m tape. Calling for any suggestions for a better bond to the car body. Are there...

    Ground strap broke off down spark plug hole

    The ground strap broke off installing a new spark plug. I tried sticking a magnet in there and got nothing. I tried cranking with no plug in the hole. It rattles around pretty fiercely when I start the engine now. Anything else I should try at this point?

    Giant rims and maintenance considerations

    Giant rims may be even more important than led lights if you want your car to be mistaken for something younger. I decided on 22" rims to replace the stock 16", so now it actually looks like a car from the future. Some online experts state giant rims will break your car, citing increased...

Then I noticed these oil filters usually cost $28. There is not any real information about these on the box or website and their contact...

    ultralub Ultra1Plus Full Synthetic ATF Universal

    I saw a 5 gallon bucket of this stuff for $75 on the 'zon. For full synthetic that lists mercon v compatability that is the best price by far. I've also seen ultralub had some very competitive prices on synthetic gear oil. Any usage reports or hard data on what's in this stuff?

    Anybody got stick on emblems or vents?

    These things are like military medals for the time I served in the clearance sections of auto shops. I like the pilot automotive branded ones you know it's not going to be complete junk. My Pilot Skull Chrome Wiper Nozzle Covers have gotten verbal praise from ladies (plural) in retail parking...
