The taillight screws are stripping out. I'm waiting to hear from a fellow who may want to buy the trucj as is.

Hate to do it but reality rears its ugly head. Rust, blown engine etc... How do I get the rear window out? I have pulled the outside seal off but not sure how to get the window out. Its a slider and I don't want it to go to scrap. I can't get the tailight screws out. I want to save them also but they're fighting me. Probably cut them off.

How many of these guys predicting the end of the world have IRAs?

Wherever you put the antenna, be sure to have a good ground. Check the match to the antenna with an SWR meter. A bad match can blow the finals in the radio. By "finals" I mean the power transisters. Over the years I've seen too many install an antenna without tuning it or at least checking the match and a week later, the radio is in the shop.

:) Enjoy that Mustang. I've had mine for 8 years now. Loved every minute of it. Taken it on two Power Tours, drive it all over the place. Going in for body work and paint ASAP. There are several great Mustang forums out here. Mustangsandmore and Vintage Mustangs are two good ones. Be careful buying parts for it. There's a LOT of shoddy parts from China.

"it is a true mustang because of the vin being a c-code and 5 lug bolt pattern" So, does this mean my T code, 4 lug Mustang is a fake? For 8 years I've been driving a Camaro with the wrong name on it? Someone did a LOT of weeeeird body work to this Camaro. Now I'm pissed....

Rod bearings were bad. Replaced them and my oil pressure came back up quite a bit (and for a short time, WAY UP). Actually, the mains were not great either but I was nearly broke then. I felt I needed to do something about the noisy engine and that was about all I could do at the time. Changing the rod bearings was relatively simple and certainly helped. The oil pressure problem never happened again. I was just talking to a friend about it and got to wondering if it was the filter's fault or if it might have been something else. I didn't realize the oil pump pressure relief valve could cause the problem but that must have been what happened.

Read them when I was a kid (too long ago). Definitly going to see it. With today's CGI, I like the idea of bringing these comics to the big screen. Doesn't always work (Hulk) but most have been pretty good.

I've been thinking about a mishap I had a while back with the oil pressure in my truck. 1989 4.0 I had installed new rod bearings to regain some oil pressure while setting aside money for a complete rebuild. I had to do something as the truck was my daily driver. Everything went fine. Fresh oil and a NAPA Gold filter. oil pressure was definitly better. Drove home (60 miles) and around this small city and to work a couple of times. No problems, good oil pressure. A few days later, I started it up in the morning and drove around the corner and heard something hissing. Leaving the truck idling at a stop sign, I got out expecting to find a tire going down. It was coming from the engine compartment though. I popped the hood and there was oil everywhere. It was squirting out at the filter/adapter interface. I shut it down immediately. I saw a trail of oil down the block. I followed it and saw it started back at my house. I pushed the truck back home (slightly down hill luckily). I found the oil filter blown up like a balloon. The oil pressure sender was also destroyed by this. I figured the oil filter had failed. Is this the likely scenario? Seems the oil would have gone to the filter and been stopped right there. With nowhere to go, it blew the seal due to the extreme pressure. For this to be right, I think the oil must enter the filter through the holes around the center mounting hole and then into the engine through the center mounting hole. I replaced the oil and filter and everything was good from then on. Any thoughts on this odd occurrance? BTW, the NAPA store where I bought everything did offer replace the filter (to that, I said no thanks) and the oil (I did take that). I've been using Mobil1 filters since then.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

I had an overheating problem with my Comanche. Turned out o lot of the fins between the tubes in the radiator had rotted away.

I figured they were late for a party and his husband was nagging him the whole way, but then I read some of the replies and realized it was a rally.

If this "12 step program" involves buying 12 Jeeps, enroll me now! I'm nearly half way done already! No, wait a mintue, I AM half way done! Losing count over here. 64 Gladiator 65 Gladiator 81 J20 88 Comanche 89 Comanche 90 Cherokee Only 6 more to go...

New TPS did the trick. Lesson learned.

I get 20 with my '89 4.0/5 speed 2 wheeldrive 'manche. Mostly highway driving.
