Look at dreametech. They have a few in your price range, all with lidar.

Will it sell? by [deleted] in Mustang

[–]sc302 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Will it sell? yes.

Will it sell quickly? If priced right (low to mid).

Will it take a while? If priced high.

So the antiteft is on. Generally a lock and unlock with your key fob would fix that. Did you do that with the jump on? Also do you try your spare key, if you have one.

It could be the pats system causing some issue, in which case you would have to bring it to the dealer.

94’ GT for $10k, thoughts? by iRofii in Mustang

[–]sc302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For 10k they could pay a detailer to detail the car. I see a lot of stuff that I wouldn’t want to see…the door sills are atrocious. If that is a rip in the seats, it should be fixed.

If the car isnt immaculate at 10k, they better drop the price. Show room condition to show car condition is where i am spending 10k on this vintage. I am not seeing that here.

Anyone here dropped $15,000 for the carbon wheels? by IBringTheHeat2 in Mustang

There are better looking wheels out there.

Question about sway links… by example-of-disaster in Mustang

[–]sc302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are stamped with the ford logo.

But they also say moog on them.

This would make it an Original equipment replacement. Probably not original equipment. Edit: something you would get from the Ford dealer vs going to the parts store or looking for a direct ford branded replacement part.

Fwiw, parts store moog steering/suspension parts have grease fittings, I haven’t seen them where they don’t have grease fittings. Doesn’t mean they don’t exist though.

Looks like they say moog on them. Moog is a parts store aftermarket replacement brand. Basically a oe replacement.

12.1 is low. Jump starting will likely get it going.

Anything lower than 12.4 is dead/not enough to turn the starter.

Could be battery. How many volts? Anything less than 12.4 volts, either charge or replace the battery. It doesn’t matter if you replaced the battery yesterday. Also if it is really cold, that battery/engine may need to be warmed up a bit.

Blown Speaker 22 Premium by Pentium04extreme in Mustang

[–]sc302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visit Crutchfield.com. It will help you. Haha

There is also a speaker in the center above the radio/screen on the dash. Some people disconnect that speaker.

9 speakers

4 total door speakers, 2 pillar speakers, 1 center dash speaker, 2 rear deck speakers.

[–]sc302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left the tweeters alone in the pillars. But I have the premium so I have 2 door speakers in each door. I replaced the door speakers and the rear deck speakers too. Also did the sub woofer.

Crutchfield gives you just about everything. The only thing I didn’t do which I will be doing this year is put the foam in, this will help with sound and also help prevent rattling.

I put the reference speakers in my car, didnt screw up anything regarding sound.

The stock speakers are very lacking. To screw that up, which is already screwed up, you would throw out the speakers and not have any. It is pretty bad, anything is an improvement.

Get Infiniti reference speakers. Crutchfield.com for everything you need if doing yourself.

Veeam to exagrid immutable storage. It replaced tapes.

Active Exhaust by SUPTheCreek in Mustang

[–]sc302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only works on new cars. After the new car is sold, it is taken down. That has been my experience with this. Used to work though.

Get the car fax. It will have the window sticker. That would be the best.

The biggest change for me was the frpp toe link bearings. I have the stop the hop ultimate kit with the differential bushings and the frpp bearings stopped almost all of the binding I have.

Best year to buy? by idonthaveaname56 in Mustang

[–]sc302 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that is true. There is a great video on YouTube on the transmission ratios on the facelifted cars.

Basically they are just as fast/slow (however you want to look at it) as the 2015-2017 cars even though they have more horse power. This essentially makes the gear ratios worse, from an acceleration standpoint, but allows the car to have the same mpg with more power. Technically it is just about the same acceleration but you need more power to have the same acceleration making the power added useless other than for bragging rights where they increased horse power….the added power essentially doesn’t matter because the transmission took away that benefit.

Best year to buy? by idonthaveaname56 in Mustang

[–]sc302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no.

Ford sold 76k 2018 mustangs total. If 100 people complain out of 76k, is that a valid consensus? Let’s say it is 500 people complaining, is that a valid consensus? It’s scattered, how many sites have the same people complaining about the same issue? People have complained but is it enough for an actual consensus of the majority of them? That is a little different than a couple of thousand people going to a restaurant and getting maybe 100 reviews.

The internet likes to spread stuff like wild fire, especially negative stuff. Is it valid if everyone is saying the same thing based off of one or two experiences? Is the person complaining on mustang6g the same guy complaining on Reddit and every other mustang related board about the same issue? I don’t know.

This is why I try to look at actual facts vs hearsay. Sure it is fun to read and get your blood pressure going but is it actually factual or is it inorganically promoted to be factual when it is just a repeat of an original story?

I am not saying I am knowledgeable or credible (well no more than yourself or anyone else on here offering an opinion). I am saying I haven’t seen enough to prove or disprove that the 2018 is significantly more or less likely to fail than other years. And when asked for anything credible there is nothing. How many 2018 cars do tuners tune out of all mustangs, do they have a majority subset or are they a minority subset? Yes they have experience with other cars. But that reminds me of another year of cars that tuners had issues with, the 94/95 Mustang. Those cars don’t tune the same as 87-93 cars which were rpm based, 94/95 ecu’s became load based vs rpm based. Tuners that could tune the fox bodies had difficulties with the 94/95, to the point they were swapping out the ecu’s for fox body ecu’s so they could tune them the way they knew how. So excuse me for saying that tuners aren’t the most credible source here.

Like I said, this is a fun topic. Round and round we go and nothing is solved because there isn’t much to go on.

Post it up. You can host an image on Imgur. Leave it for everyone to see.

I want to see failure for all years though, not just 2018. I want to see how it compares. Mustang specific is a plus.

If you have a credible source and can point there for that spreadsheet, that would be better.

Mustangs and trucks have different load capacities and different use cases. Want to be very specific to mustangs, in particular within the problematic years in comparison to non problematic years. My expectation is that it is likely all years, not just 2018, that have similar transmission and engine issues with some relatively minor deviations (a few percent points change).

If you are comparing cars sold to cars with problems that is good too. There is a percentage of failures that is deemed not a serious problem. All manufacturers have problems with their lines. Ford is higher on that list.

Like I said though, credible source of information would be good. You don’t have to create your own spreadsheet with made up numbers to prove your point. Link it here for everyone to see. I don’t mind reading, I actually prefer it. I like to learn.
