Ford Mustang parts reviews

This probably would never happen with some continental extreme contact sport 02\u2019s on there

I use 5W-30 Motorcraft

My opinion… 5W-30. I drive mine year round in a cold northern state. I was always told that if you’re hard on it at all and run it into higher rpm’s sometimes the coyote likes the heavier weight.

Valvoline full synthetic, 5w-20, She has 151k and counting.

I upgraded to Gabriel Strider shocks, best I could afford at the time, and bought Radial T/As to go on the Keystones. Big front and rear sway bars too. So even if my car didn't accelerate like a boss it did corner pretty well.

I put some snow tires on the back, a couple sandbags in the trunk and it got me back and forth to college in '82-'84...The only real problem it had was because of the rust issues, the starter solenoid would get wet repeatedly and eventually die and need replacement...

I recall mobil1 going red being normal.

Pirellis are probably getting rock hard with age. I've got a set of conti dws06+ on my 2018 that are getting slick despite plenty of tread, same reason.

I started having problems like my alternator was going bad again so I replaced it with a duralast alternator part number DL2618-6-11 because I had a lifetime warranty on it and it still didn't fix it so I was thinking it may be a wire shorting out was playing around with the wires that go to the alternator and the plug on the back that goes from the alternator to the PCM and it's started charging again ( I guess it finally connected the electricity) so I replaced the plug on the back of the alternator. It fixed it work for about a month then it happen again check charging system battery light on and battery going dead so I was done. I took it to the Ford place they wanted to replace the other side of the PCM to alternator connector which they did and the alternator so I got another AutoZone lifetime warranty alternator and when they did that they said everything is charging and running like it is supposed to be but your PCM is still throwing the battery light and check charging system because your alternator is charging at 14v and for the PCM to cut the light off it needs to be at 14.6 v. So they wanted to put another alternator on it because they said the alternator from autozone the voltage regulator wouldn't let it go to 14.6 volts. The car runs and drives and doesn't have any problems I just hate the light being on to be honest I have spent hours on the Internet trying to see if it's just these AutoZone alternators that aren't letting it get to the volts the PCM wants or not haven't found anything.

Man I wanted a new Mustang so bad. This year I finally had enough to pull the trigger, but damn that steering is numb as hell. Everything else I could live with but I was so annoyed by how lifeless the electric power steering is.
