    2006 Boost gauge

    First check the boost pressure sender. It's easier to replace than the gauge.

    I never could get my damn RC helicopter to fly right--and I was a Navy helicopter pilot!

    The New Mustang GTD

    Hell, Eddie even got Dave to talk about his favorite topic--prices! :ROFLMAO:

    Gets air, fuel and spark then dies/July 4th Parade pics

    Odd problem description. One would think that if it was a battery or ground problem, it consistently wouldn't crank, but once started, it should keep running. I hate intermittent/inconsistent electrical problems. Follow the rule of going back to the last thing you did and recheck it was done...

    New headlights for 2005/6MY Ford GT

    I sure hope the originals have a long shelf life. I have a pair of new-in-box OE headlights, and I don't even take them out to inspect them.

    2006 Ford GT Tire/Rim fitment limit without spacers?

    I'll go one further: The Bridgestones are the ONLY set of tires that will fit the rear wheels closest to the diameter of the original Goodyears.

    bolt torques for belly pans

    I have done that, and come back a year later for an oil change, and still missing one or two. You don't have near as many miles as I do, so maybe the screws and the spots they screw into are loosening up. I bought a 10-bag of replacements about 7 years ago. Expensive little items, for what...

    bolt torques for belly pans

    I use a nut driver and get them "fist tight." They have a tendency to loosen up and fall out, therefore use some blue Locktite (not red!) too.

    05/06 GT Cup Holder

    Nah. The cheapest and easiest one to install slides down between the passenger seat and center console. I bought one a dozen years ago "temporarily" and I'm still using it. Something like this...

    Mandatory speed limiters for all cars in Washington

    But it won't work on analog cars, I guess I'll keep my 2005 for another hundred thousand miles...

    2006 Ford GT Tire/Rim fitment limit without spacers?

    Daniel, the offset of the wheels is important too. If the 19 and 20 wheels have the same offset as the original 18 and 19 wheels, you should not need spacers.

    Ford GT Clutch kit questions

    Ed, and Daniel: If you follow the procedure in the manual, it will flush the fluid in the slave cylinder. It takes two people to perform the procedure.

    Ford GT Clutch kit questions

    Daniel: Change the clutch and brake fluid now and throughly flush the fluid until it is clear/amber. Do not change the clutch yet. It has many 10,000's more miles/kilometers to go. No need to do anything to the clutch until it actually starts slipping at full power. Unless you just want to...

    Borla/Ford Racing Cat Delete

    How loud do you want? The loudest is headers, cats delete, and X-pipes. Definitely anti-social.
