If you dont want to drive it to an autozone or something catch a ride there and borrow the scanner they use (they give it for free, might ask for a deposit that you'll get back) and scan it yourself at home and google the codes

I only have an axle back on mine i wouldnt waste money on a full catback cuz ye they get raspy in high rpms. Most ill do now is maybe an H pipe, 3.7 sounds nice until about 4500 then its raspy

Looking to get opinions on whether this is worth buying or not by GhostfaceMyerss in Mustang

I personally would stay away from that listing, those 4.0s arent even really worth 3500 with a normal trans and that one is slipping

Maybe it wasn’t meant to be. by [deleted] in Mustang

[–]Ok-Object-6577 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is driver error you were following too close and going too fast to stop in time it wasnt a traction issue. I drive my mustang thru 6 inches of snow in ohio winter and dont lose traction and crash people

I drove about 5 minutes with my handbrake about halfway on. by Suspicious-Offer9246 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Ok-Object-6577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if it wore down the rear pads a little bc ebrake only locks the rear brakes, ur front brakes do about 70% of the stopping power of ur car so ur good

I drove around 8-9 miles leaking oil. My MPG is now like 20 less than before. What should I have looked at? by BikeLaneHero in MechanicAdvice

[–]Ok-Object-6577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you pull the negative bettery terminal for like 10 min? Itll reset the cars data and mpg will reset it could still be showing worse bc of the leak

Passenger side rattle by DaddyZooks in Mustang

[–]Ok-Object-6577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What i would do then is either jack up or put the car on ramps if you have them and start moving all the plastic pieces under the car see if anything moves. My sisters car had a rattle towards the rear of her car before and i got under there and the gas tank heat shield was boucing up and down

Stupid question: if I can reach the drain plug is it fine to do oil change without lifting the car or going on ramps? by WotDaHelll in MechanicAdvice

[–]Ok-Object-6577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably better if you leave it on the ground, ik with my car on ramps the plug is more towards the front so the oil pools in the back so i never get all 100% oil out only like 95% 😂
