    QuickJack 5000-anybody use one?

    Never had mine in the air, so.. Since you have the lift. You might consider supports under the wheels and lower the lift a few inches to take the load off the suspension(hanging). Even tall jack stands might work. I'd ask Joe at Milliken Ford. On the forum, the go to guy for NFGT. He uses a...

    Sticker shock

    The Braille I25X. This will be my next battery or something like it. On my third Optima in 6 years. They fail at the 3 year warranty mark. As they approach critical mass, they do start to spit acid from the 2 ports. Yes there is local paint damage. As these batteries use to last for a long time...

    MKII engine upgrade question

    Does the Mk2 have the same trans? Knowing the scoop does cool 3 subsystem, are there differences internally from the street trans? Mk2 is 700+HP.. The move to higher HP would probably require both a engine/trans mod to what the Mk2 has or similar. Plus probably different kits for the pre 20 and...

    Just moved to SoCal

    I always used I5 and I15 as dividing lines for weather in San Diego. West of I5 is almost always nice, but there is the June gloom. I5 to I15 can get hot in the summer. East of I15 to the foothills( 20 Miles) Up the hills cools off. Nice winters, hot summers (its still a desert)

    Question..... Speedo accuracy OE & ring pinion change, new calibration needed

    The old fashion way.. Mile marker and stop watch. or your local police neighborhood radar(your driving to fast). Phone GPS can be close, but then , who makes the phone, how old is it, how many satellites does it see. I use a new iPad for various utilities, one being worldwide charts and...

    Fair price for ‘06 GT with incident?

    This may not be a salvage titled vehicle. It will show repairs made on a carfax. If the insurance company paid the repair bill and did not take possession and resale as branded or salvage, then its just a regular car with damage history. Rear deck lids complete use to be in the 38k range years...

    Availability of Rotella T6 5W-40 synthetic or substitute?

    I still find this in cases at Sam's club. They do sell out, but as infrequently as I visit Sam's, I'm able to still get it. I use it for my F-350. I also have the mobil 1 5-50w oil I use for my 12 Boss that is mostly a track car. I get the Mobil at Napa. They tend to have a nationwide sale on...

    06 GT pops out of 3rdgear under accelerating?

    I think Nota4re is probably correct. The alignment tool checks the neutral position of the shifter. if your other gears/shifts are behaving normally, I would suspect something internal. Third gear in the transaxle has a little history with syncro's and with the gear splitting at the weld. If...

    GT Spec Oil Filter vs FL500

    They could even be hand made via small manufacturing shop, per the string, limited supply and cost. Not like they need to make a lot of these each year.
