  1. Go over to Summit Racing and plug in your car info and go from there...
  2. An old trick was to paint the link or tooth at each timing mark. Now you know how many links/teeth between cam marks ( used to have to align the distributor/oil pump also)and pre-mark the new chain/belt.
  3. You might try.... https://www.sonnax.com/transmission
  4. 2008 Limited with 215K miles and I changed the antifreeze once a few years ago. Still running fine with no problems.
  5. The lighter wheels were an aid in handling. AKA road racing. It does this by reducing unsprung weight, so the suspension follows the irregular road surfaces better. Now if you want to go around corners.........
  6. Did you clean the negative battery terminals down to clean copper and lead? For the last 50+ years, the 1st. thing I've asked the FORD client, "Have you cleaned the terminals"etc.
  7. For a squishy ride try 235/70-17s or 245/65-17s depending on wheel width. A wider tire on a narrower rim will give a softer ride than a narrow tire on a wide rim within reason! But, according to the chart below, the wheels are only 7.5 inches wide or unfit for your needs. https://www.wheel-size.com/size/ford/mustang/2018/ The best you might do is 18 inch wheels. https://www.wheel-size.com/size/ford/edge/2018/#generation-ii-facelift-2018-2024 Check local wrecking yards too.
  8. You can do the tranny at the same time! Pop 2 plugs, drain, add the fluid (Ford has built-in a handy funnel holder), drink your favorite waiting beverage for the fluid to reach 180 F about 10 minutes and install the site plug!
  9. This is a whole lot easier than changing fluid on a C4. Then bumping the engine over to find the drain plug and draining the Torque Converter. Not to mention somewhere between 10 to 13 Quarts. Did I forget the refill procedure? To lazy to type it out! These things are easy to DIY just HOT!
  10. Also Valvoline Protect and Restore the oil.
  11. https://tiresvote.com/articles/tires-have-same-size-yet-fact-they-are-different-how-possible/ https://agtiretalk.com/why-do-tire-specs-vary-by-manufacturer/ And last but not least. https://kevinsautos.com/faq/how-much-difference-in-tire-size-is-acceptable-on-awd.html
  12. Tread depth is not the way to measure tire diameter! A tire's diameter CAN NOT be determined by the it's size on the sidewall! Even the same size tire of a different design made by the same manufacturer may not have the same diameter too! Measuring from top to bottom will not give diameter measurements that are valid. If you want to know the diameter of a tire in question, go to the MFG.s site and find the revs per mile for your tires and compare. As for asymmetrical on one side vs the other in the front, under normal conditions, you will never be able to tell the difference! Not only was I a tire store manager but, I owned and operated 22 tire and brake stores and was the largest distributor of Yokohama tires. I even owned the next 6 months of production at 1 time. But that is another story for another time.
  13. I did this for my wife. She loves it too.
  14. Thanks for the video! After watching the tech compare the fuel pump spring difference, I now understand the extra noise (sounds like a clicking lifter) a failing fuel pump would display.
