    Series IV GT V6

    It's with a heavy heart that I have decided to sell my Series IV GT V6. I just don't have the time to dedicate to it anymore, and it just sits in the garage and collects dust. :( A bit of info about the car... It's a 2.8 L ford V6 with a t-5 installed using Joe's kit. The engine was...

    Inside Door Pull Handle

    So... after battling with the hubs for a week... my hub puller finally gave up and broke. I'm not sure what to do here. I can't seem to get this thing to budge. I'm contemplating pulling the whole rear axle assembly down and taking it in to a rear end shop. I don't particularly want to go...

    Thanks for the info Jan. Unfortunately I don't have the time or funds to take this through a full overhaul right now. Could I get access to these bolts by taking the driveshaft down and removing the pinion housing from the front? Baslically, can I do this without taking the whole unit out of...

    I haven't checked them since I have owned the car. I have only put about 100 miles on it since getting it on the road. What would one check for?
