    Failed Gauges and Battery

    Depends on the maximum output (amps) of the specific tender and the draw of the energized components (lights/computers)...it might overwhelm/overheat the tender electronics causing failure.

    Air Bag Emblem/Std Wheel Caps --what now ??????

    Straight leather, perforated tends to collect residue, etc... When you receive it, use the needle to punch out EVERY hole and clear any "chad" from the hole. Also then turn it inside out and (with your hand/fingers) brush out the underside of any debris before turning it back correctly and...

    Failed Gauges and Battery

    I hope we didn't do any long-term damage/weakening. I DO religiously allow for the ignition key to initialize the odometer BEFORE hitting the start button.

    Failed Gauges and Battery

    I have to THANK the brain trust here. I kept putting off replacing my battery (as I had no issues and keep the car on a tender). Anyway, last weekend I lost 4 instruments on initial start (Tach, oil pressure, vacuum/boost, and Speedometer)...some big, some small. I immediately got a Optima...

    Ford GT-esque Vehicles recommendation

    A local (to me) Friend and former GT owner (he sold his GT about a year ago) bought a Carrera GT and I recently visited with him. The CGT looks/sounds/performs awesome BUT he continuously went over just to sit in my GT.

    New FGT owner

    The previous owner of mine was also less tall...he had a couple of ~1" aluminum square tube/pipe that were bolted on to the seat rail and he said it made a difference. Also, I recall early less-tall owners would remove the windshield wipers to clear their sight line. Ps-I too had a Pantera (for...
