Good video. I was ex manual transmission engineer for Borg Warner Australia responsible for local T5 production in mid 80s. The T5 has paper lined twin cone blocking rings on 1-2. The lubricant was ATF with a Lubrizol friction/gear additive that was added separately. Be careful when replacing with a generic low viscosity gear oil. It may not shift well.

As a young person getting into fixing affordable cars in the late 90's/early 2000's, regardless what make, it's so nostalgic to see these videos.

That one thermostat bolt is annoying but otherwise the 5.0 is a pretty easy engine to work with. Also don’t underestimate them, they may not have a high horsepower rating but it’s a torquey engine and a light car, they will still keep up with modern traffic just fine.

@JRC99 Год назад

Holy hell. I literally *just* watched episode 1 this morning. Fun fact- the underhood insulation is the *only* place on an 87-89 (prior to March of 89) that has the pony logo. Oh, and an '87 had single stage paint. So if it has clear coat, it's been painted. My recommendation is put subframe connectors on it- *now* The car will thank you. I also stand by my prior statement- On a bone stock 5.0 with full cats, a muffler delete sounds best.

@Shakerhood69 Год назад

I think they may have used some single stage paints all the way through. The 93 Cobra came in 4 colors, Teal, Black, and 2 different Red's, think the 1 Red was single stage.

@JRC99 Год назад

@@Shakerhood69 You are correct. I *think* it was 1990 when clear coat became available on certain colors but I'm not sure.

@houseofno Год назад

You're incorrect regarding the pony logo. The hood insulation was NOT the only place the pony logo could be found. For all 1989 cars (the car's 25th anniversary) had a small Mustang pony emblem on the passenger side (right hand side) of the front dashboard. All first year Mustangs are legally '65 cars, despite 64.5 being partially correct - the 64.5 had some minor production changes, such as a generator instead of an alternator, and a lot of Falcon parts being put into place to exhaust the inventory). Ford didn't actually put out an official 25th anniversary car due to cost cutting moves. For 1990 models, Ford made a limited edition number of what were called the 7-up convertibles (all monochromatic green exterior paint jobs with white leather interiors). This is informally considered to be the closest enthusiasts got to a 25th anniversary car.

@saleen367 Год назад

I don't remember where he bought it from, but here in the Midwest, many Mustang owners store their cars all winter and only drive them in the summer months. This would explain the low miles and lack of rust. The hatch was a problem area as the water would not drain well from the hatch area and that would be the 1st area to start rusting if you washed the car regularly. The hatch is universal too btw .... all models carry the same design. I wish someone would clean the glass.. it was driving me insane watching you drive. 🙃

I was following a guy with a 6 wheel loaded car trailer recently. Anyways the left rear wheel was smoking. I tried to wave the driver down too late the bearing exploded. The wheel then Separated from the trailer continuing into the side of the road while bits of wheel bearing sprayed out everywhere! ...

Manuals have been phasing out of the US ever since the late 70’s and it’s at a point where basically all used cars that have a manual transmission go for a premium compared to an automatic version, & I can only think of a handful of new cars that offer the option. Civic Type R, Subaru WRX, BMW M3 & 4, The Toyota Corolla GR and GR86 (and soon the Supra), and a few select Porsches. But notice how those are all enthusiast sporty cars and basically every person who just wants a car to drive and every econobox has a automatic. Better gas mileage for city and highway driving, super easy to get the hang of the first time u ever step in a car, and shifts faster.

@kb01663 Год назад

Best way I found to get that right thermostat housing bolt is to loosen the distributor bolt, rotate the distributor counterclockwise so the TFI module is out of the way, and then you'll have a 90 degree swing on the wrench vs a 1/2 inch of movement. Just mark your distributor beforehand or put it back in time with a timing light afterwards.

@jacksmith2315 Год назад

Ya marking the distributor doesnt always work. I had to pull one on a 96 f150 5.0, marked it in 2 spotd so i could put it back perfectly and still was off when reinstalled and had to get a timing gun to reset the timing. But its alright cause then you know where its set and advance or retard it to run better. I think factory was around 10° advanced but it runs best around 12-15. May be off a little but its right around there.

Check the ecu on the passenger side kick panel, there’s 3 capacitors in the ecu that will go bad, check for corrosion on the legs

10:00 The Wagoneer was in production from 63-91. That's 28 years, double the Fox body. I can't think of anything else that was in production longer, but there might be something.

@treles Год назад

Caterham 7 (technically) is at 49 years and counting as its still in production 73-present, but theres some potential issues as it only really shares looks with the original due to evolutionary development, in which case theres the 2CV at 42 years and original Mini at 41 years

I know where there’s this exact same car, except blue, sitting in a barn out on a backroad. I’ve thought about stopping and asking if they would sell it to me for about 2 1/2 years. After seeing this video, I think I’m going to have to go and at least try to buy it. Thx for the video guys.

Honestly it’s therapeutic for me to swing a hammer as hard as I can at rotors. Not all the time but If I’m pissed off it makes me a little happier 🤣

@adamhabeeb7718 Год назад

Hey Alex, I noticed in the last video that you may have installed the fuel filter backwards. The new one you put in is in backwards compared to how the old one looked. I thought I was just seeing it wrong but with the fuel issue it might be worth the check. I hope it´s something as simple as that. Love the videos, keep it up!

@tk543 Год назад

I noticed that too. I agree with Adam here

@taknmybeatings7036 Год назад

They ddon't much care which way you put them in. They just filter better one way.

@AK086. Год назад

@@taknmybeatings7036 more restriction makes higher fuel pressure. higher fuel pressure messes with the way the ecu makes the car run there for causing problems

@borismcfinnigan3430 Год назад

@@AK086. ah not really how it works at all. the rail pressure is regulated. The completely inconsequential difference that a backwards inline filter would make is, well, completely inconsequential.

in Brazil they made the VW T2 transporter until 2013 meaning it had a production run of 63 years.

@daddy1639 Год назад

I had the same issue you described at the end with my 302. I thought it was fuel too but it turned out to be the ignition related. I replaced the dizzy cap, rotor button and ignition coil and it came good.

If he does do an exhaust I'd definitely recommend an H pipe with flowmasters. It will sound amazing

Avoid Flownots if you're looking for performance. Magnaflow or Borla.

It has a h pipe and flow masters on it.

@jacksmith2315 Год назад

@@backontopmotowerks it has flowmasters but factory catted mid pipe. Catless/off road h pipe is the way to go. Idk you say avoid flowmasters. They sound awesome w 5.0s magnaflow and borla sound good too but 5.0 w flowmasters is just a classic unmistakable sound. To each their own though

This brings back so many memories, I got a 1991 Mustang GT convertible 5 speed my senior year High School (2000). I paid $4500. Had 72k miles. I loved that car. Sold it after college because I could not store it and it was not practical in the winter. I will get another one some day. Would love a notch back LX 5 speed.

@krisw8597 Год назад

I was in high school in 87…. If you didn’t have an GT or IROC Z, you were not popular….. lol Amazing job so far, I’m a GM guy but really loved the 87 GT. Back in school, I begged my parents to get one, was so close but dad said it was to fast for me back then….. Oh another thing, it was a Florida car so no rust! One of the benefits about living down here! Great content btw, I will sub for sure, thanks for explaining things so well, it’s refreshing to see someone else besides me that has a passion for cars and can’t teach while repairing them!
