Q: 1992 silverado truck vs 2000 ford mustang?
My brother is saying that a 1992 silverado, lowered with 130,000 miles,v8 is better than a 2000 ford mustang with 60,000 miles, v6. He says this because it is a ford and that v6 mustangs have engine problems. So which is better and if so why? I don't think he is right, but he is the one with the automotive background.

A: Sorry but thats straight bull sh**. I have owned 2 gt's and 2 v6's. Right now i have a v6. I have raced all kinds of crap. I have raced a dodge hemi and beat it. O yea and i raced my friends 95 chevy truck with 350 v8 2wd and smoked him. No lie. Tell your brother he shouldnt underestimate what he doesnt know. A truck that size would have to have one hell of an engine to pull on a car as light as a mustang. The trucks weight would get it everytime. I have been there done that.

Q: What could be the cause of the rattling sound from my 2000 Ford Mustang?
It makes a loud rattling sound when in drive, but stops when I put it into park. Can anyone tell me what the problem is? Thanks.

A: Ah, lots of things. When your car is in drive, there is a load on the driveline that is not there whey in park. #1 & 2 causes would be broken exaust hanger and broken motor mount. Further investigation with someone in side and someone outside the car will help you track down the problem.

Q: Has anyone had trouble with a weird sound coming from the AC in 2000 Ford Mustang V6? How do you fix it?

Q: Does a fuse control the backup and license plate lights on a 2000 Ford Mustang?
I noticed one night when my lights were on that the lights that shine on the license plate in the back were not on. Then a few days later I was told that my reverse lights were not working either. Can this be a fuse? Any ideas are great. Thanks in advance!

A: nope the backup lights are controled by a switch on the transmission, it dose have a fuse but I beleave there are other functions on that fuse. the license plate light are on the same wiring as your running lights so if you running lights are on the bulbs are burnt out of you have a bad ground

Q: What are typical reasons for the "service engine soon" light coming on in my 2000 Ford Mustang?
My car's been running fine and the yellow "service engine" light came on this morning. It just hit 100k miles and I haven't noticed any problems idling or accelerating. I'm due for an oil change in about 1000 miles too. What typically causes this light to go on? Thanks!

A: Take it to your local Auto Zone. They will plug in a little computer to your car and give you a free diagnosis that will tell you exactly why your light is on. My light came on because I needed a new O2 sensor.

Q: I have a 2000 V6 ford mustang. The problem is that when i do a burnout only one right tire spins. Why is that?
I have a 2000 V6 ford mustang. The problem is that when i do a burnout only one right tire spins. Why is that? Please help me out and what can i do for a perfect two tire burnout.

A: unless you have some Type of a posi rear end, only one wheel will spin. It takes horsepower and torque to spin both back tires, and a v6 doesn't have it. doing burnouts my look cool to all your friends, be sure and take up a collection from them for the new transmission your going to need because smoking the tires kills tyranny's

Q: Where is the starter on a 2000 Ford Mustang?
Probably will be replacing this part at some point soon so I wanted to go ahead and get an idea of where it is.

A: passenger side bottom.. depending upon the motor it can be a nightmare... best left to a pro if backyard mechanic work is not your thing on the v-8 motor.... (the v-6 is easier but takes a little more than a basic set of tools if I remember)

Q: Does anyone know of a mechanic in California who will remove the speed limiter on my 2000 Ford Mustang V6?
I really would prefer if it was in the bay area. Thanks!

A: Most mechanics won't do this, but yes you could re-flash the card with a re-programmer. I guess that 115 isn't fast enough. You may be disappointed when you discover that the car won't go much faster drag limited as it does now. In proving ground tests the 3.8 liter Mustang was only able to achieve around 123mph drag limited, and in stock tune. Now if you re-chip the car and alter the fuel map and timing; that's another story. Good luck
