    Gas Gauge Curfufflal

    Thank you for your reply! I didn't notice I was in the wrong forum. :( Anyway...My 06 4.0 V6 was down to 1/2 tank yesterday, I put $15.00 of Regular in it and after about $13.50 the hose shut off. I was hesitant about the remaining gas owed me but I was able to squeeze (repeatedly) the rest of...

    2005 mustang GT 4.6 Driver side rear piston brake caliper sticking

    I just had both my rear calipers replaced w/remans. I bought a complete F&R set of Hawk Street pads. Both rear pucks were frozen beyond movement. Ran $390 at my local mech, including flush/bleed. I did the fronts myself, all four pucks moved without any effort. My reason for replacing pads was...

    Gas tank won’t fill,

    I have/had the same problem on my '06 4.0 V6. The pump lever was so 'heavy' it felt like I was lifting a 10 pound weight. It started max flow before I could regulate it. And then shut itself off in less than a second. I switched gas stations/mini-marts and found a station with 'soft' handles, I...

    2006 V6 Hood Struts - Opinions?

    Well, I don't know what a teek is, but I'll admit to being a lamer. I think I'll go with the MMD's. The Redlines just look too long, and that plug-bolt is kind of disturbing. Thanks to all! :)

    2006 V6 Hood Struts - Opinions?

    I found replacement struts for the MMD while browsing Amazon - "Lift Supports Depot Qty (2) Fits 2005 to 2018 Mustang Replacement Hood for MMD Kit ONLY" https://www.amazon.com/Fits-2005-Mustang-Replacement-Supports/dp/B07BSVG3QF

    2006 V6 Hood Struts - Opinions?

    OK, here's my rundown on the six kits I was able to find YouTube videos for. This is only my personal preferences, which basically means I want something compact and OEM-looking. Roush - Ugly bracket cut-outs, nice short struts CDC - Carbon fiber brackets, nice short struts MMD - Nice...

    2006 V6 Hood Struts - Opinions?

    That is depressing. I think that is a NO to MMD.

    2006 V6 Hood Struts - Opinions?

    I'd like opinions on which hood strut kit to get. I'm old and feeble, and that 50# hood is a PITA. I've downloaded and looked at videos for Rousch, CDC, MMD, Ford Performance, MRT, and Redline. I'm leaning towards the MMD strut kit. I'd like to hear opinions on any of the above that you may...

    Fuel Filler Not Accepting Fuel

    Holy Crap! I found the canister location, and checking prices at various auto parts franchises, they range from ~$300-~$700!!! If they're in stock...Rock Auto is out... Whew...Is there a way to clean it, or air it out, or whatever needs to be done to get it back to normal???

    Fuel Filler Not Accepting Fuel

    I do that - pumping up to nearest dollar. Crap! Do I need a new evap filter? Or can I squeeze this one dry. After I find it... The new station requires pre-paying, so I won't be having the rounding-up any more...

    Fuel Filler Not Accepting Fuel

    2006 4.0 V6 automatic. Runs great. Filling up is very frustrating. When I try to add fuel to my tank, the station gas pump keeps shutting off. I have to keep squeezing the pump handle repeatedly. Twisting the handle or withdrawing it slightly does not help. The franchise owner says he can't...

    Who was the Genius?

    I'm only 5'10" and my head hits the roof trim getting in & out. Seat is all the way back, rear seat down. I also hit my knees on steering wheel 50% of the time (in & out). No problem with the Shaker 500 door speakers/subs though.
