my baby's gettin old

DanTheMan · April 21st, 2008, 04:56 AM

just rolled over 60k the other day, any maintenance things i should address at this point? not sure what's been done in the past but i'm thinkin plugs, fuel filter, clean the bbk air filter, change diff and gearbox fluid, maybe new belt.. anything i'm forgetting?

Thats about all of it. Check antifreeze, check belt tensioner, maybe run some seafoam thru it, check all the bushings while you are under there.

DanTheMan · April 21st, 2008, 04:59 AM

thanks doc, sounds good to me.. i just can't believe i've driven 8000 miles since october, jeez...

Doc8224 · April 21st, 2008, 05:02 AM

I feel ya there. The poor Mach is probably glad the tranny broke so I am not driving her everywhere. Little does she know..........

DanTheMan · April 21st, 2008, 05:03 AM

But I bought it to drive it so I can't really complain... I meant to ask how's the build coming along?

Doc8224 · April 21st, 2008, 07:37 AM

Good. All the auto stuff is almost completly out. Everything for the manual is ordered and shipped. I went with all upgraded stuff and you can check my topic in the 4v section for the parts list thats going in her.

haha yeah, it is ALOT of highway mileage though... I've had it for 2 years this month and i bought it with 50K... driving back and forth to college racked them up quick

it still gets out of its own way pretty good though

mustangs are like a fine wine, they only get better with age

well, until those miles REALLY start getting up there
