    Looking for a 4L Whipple for my ‘06 GT.

    These are a well-made aesthetic upgrade and I believe Shark01 believes they would be a nice complement to the polished Whipple. No need/benefit from a structural perspective...

    Need a fuel filter

    Last I checked, yes.... albeit at almost $10K per side.

    Fuel filter, brake fluid and power steering fluid

    Hey Pete, I DO think that the clutch fluid needs to be changed every couple of years. Yes, it's the same fluid (typically) but the reservoir of the clutch fluid is so damn small, it just seems to get gunk-ed up MUCH faster than the brake fluid. It's easy to flush/change. You only need to use...

    Preemptive Maintenance Tip - Shifter Cables

    With the possible exception of 1/4 mi racing, I don't think tracking (driven properly) would have such an adverse effect of clutch life. The GT is using a twin disc clutch set-up have a lot of clutch surface area but they don't have a lot of clutch material depth. Translated, they are very...

    Preemptive Maintenance Tip - Shifter Cables

    Yeah, extrap, exactly. You just need to tie the one cable - the other one is fine. See below. For those of you not aware, the shift cables need to be as straight of a shot as possible back to the transaxle. This is what gives the GT shifter that silky smooth feeling. To achieve this, the...

    Preemptive Maintenance Tip - Shifter Cables

    'tis the season of clutches here at Cool Tech. We have 3 GT's in the shop all of which are getting new clutches among other things. I thought I would share something that we see common across all 3 of the cars - and, no doubt present on your car as well. It's something that you can invest...

    Bendpak Owners - alternative ramp option?

    Exactly what Specracer said. He's using the 2-piece 72" ramps, we have the 1-piece versions. Use Gorilla construction glue to add a piece of wood to fill in the notch. I was skeptical about the glue but 5 years later, the wood is still in place.

    Who says Friday the 13th is so bad…..

    Well, you really need to have some nice cars when you have to live in a crappy hood like Carmel! :) :oops:

    Recommend an OBD II scanner?

    Hi Pete, I don't think I've ever seen a CEL flash. Per the OBD2 spec, I don't think that's a "thing" but maybe some OEMs do that to signify something - perhaps while is storing a code/data?

    Recommend an OBD II scanner?

    There's different fault LEVELS that can trigger a CEL and many of them present no immediate danger to the engine. The faults - like a leak in the EVAP system or a catalytic efficiency problem to name a couple, will simply keep the CEL illuminated. More severe faults where the ECU believes it...

    Recommend an OBD II scanner?

    Well, you have the wrong battery installed in the car to begin with. What's shown is a 34/78 and the spec is for a Group 25. Dimensionally they are the same but the 34/78 has an additional set of side terminals. Absolutely no benefit in a GT but there is additional risk because of the battery...

    Recommend an OBD II scanner?

    How old is your battery?

    Turn key to On when replacing battery & using a memory saver?

    Part of the OB2 requirements is that the vehicle must illuminate that CEL with key-on so that the owner and/or inspector can confirm that the light has not been tampered with.

    OK, GTPOPPY... we get that you want to on the GT Forum solely to promote your horn buttons. Frankly, I'm a little surprised that DBK or Chip hasn't banned you. In my opinion, they should. As Chip pointed out in a previous thread, the function of an airbag is to quite literally to EXPLODE - and...

    Expensive Oil Change Question

    Figure closer to $400 if you were going to have us do it. For labor, it's probably closer to two hours than it is to one from the time we roll the car onto the lift to the time it rolls off. Need to remove both the mid-pan as well as the rear pan. Often we'll find missing or incorrect...

    LOOKING FOR GAUGE MODULE TO SUIT OUR 2005 GT

    Frank's thinking of the gauge itself which Autometer still makes... but no one is making the gauge control module... unfortunately. Have you tried replacing the gauge? It is very unusual that the gauge control module would fail whereas it is not uncommon to have a gauge fail.
