Just an odd and slightly off, but slightly on topic question. We don't have a link to our user manual's in PDF form on the forums somewhere by chance?

All the info you need is in the Owners Manual. It's also on line so you can down load it if you don't have one. There is a lot of good info in there.

Have you done CAI and tune yet. That's number 1.

For appearance - chin spoiler, stripes, blackout panel, hood scoop.
No CAI, but i was thinking of that next...what is the best brand/ whats your recommedation on CAI.
C&L is what I went with. But JLT is anothe good one. With an SCT tuner, makes a big difference.
At 30K you should rip out the engine and forge it (it is in the manual). For a mod.....supercharge it.

NOTE: I am only at ~ 9K so that is why I haven't done this maintenance yet.....:gringreen
At 30k, it says to change trans fluid on an automatic.

I'm on around 24k, so I'll face this soon.

Any recommendations on that? Go synthetic? Brand?



By the way, from an old thread here, 2005 Owners Manual: http://www.allfordmustangs.com/techarticles/2005MustangOM.pdf

dont forget the front end only has a life of around 30k miles, so you'll need a gt500 grill, bumper and hood. wheels will fall off if you go too much further so you'll need some deep dish 18's, staggered, with fat stickies. And your exhaust system is probably close to the end of it's life, so remove the cats and go with an offroad x-pipe with slp loudmouths.

i thought this was all common knowledge?
