Expert Answers about Ford Mustang


  • Recommended Taillight Converter for 1993 Ford Mustang
  • It seems like you've diagnosed your problem. You'll need a taillight converter installed on your vehicle because of its separate taillight system. As you surmised, the converter takes the three signals from the right turn, left turn and brake and combines them into two signals, one for right turn and brake and one for left turn and brake. A converter like the # 119178 is exactly what you'd need. You can simply cut the plug off your existing 4 pole, and attach its yellow, green, brown and...

  • Class I Hitch Extension for 2013 Ford Mustang for Use with Hitch Carrier
  • When we installed Draw-Tite Class I hitch # 24863 on a 2013 Mustang we found that the distance from the hitch pin hole to the rear edge of the bumper was 8-inches, as shown in the linked video at the :15-second mark. This is indeed a fairly long distance and many bike and cargo carriers will require more clearance in order for them to avoid contact with the vehicle. Hitch extensions for a Class I hitch like the Draw-Tite are available, but these will all cause you to lose half of your...

  • Recommended Electric Cooling Fan for 1970 Ford Mustang with Cleveland 351 Engine
  • The Flex-a-lite 15" Black Magic # FLX160 is the best available cooling fan we've got that would fit on your 1970 Ford Mustang. This fan provides up to 3000 cfm of air movement and can be used as a pusher or a puller fan to help cool down your engine, and because it's not belt driven it will doesn't rely on engine RPMS to provide maximum cooling. I've linked a short video on this fan for you to have a look at.

  • Recommended Tow Dolly to Flat Tow 2014 Ford Mustang
  • We do not offer any base plates for your 2014 Ford Mustang since Ford does not recommend flat towing this vehicle (page 206 of the online manual, available at Ford.com). So in order to tow it you'd need to use a flat bed trailer or a tow dolly like Roadmaster # RM-2050-1. The Roadmaster dolly includes self-steering wheels, electric drum brakes (which require a brake controller like the Prodigy P2 # 90885), wheel nets, lighting and trailer wiring. The tow vehicle needs to have a 6-way or...

  • What Parts are Needed to Flat Tow a 2000 Ford Mustang
  • First, I did some research and found that the manual transmission models of the 2000 Ford Mustang can be flat towed as is but automatic models need a drive shaft coupling to be flat towed. Consult your vehicle owners manual for additional information. If you determine you can flat tow your Mustang you will first need base plates which provide a secure attachment point for a tow bar. For your Mustang you can use XL base plates # 466-1. Please note these base plates will not fit the Cobra...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2004 Ford Mustang GT Behind a Motor Home
  • The instructions for Roadmaster base plates, # 466-1, do not indicate any fascia trimming or removal on the 2004 Ford Mustang. I have included a link to the instructions for you. For a compatible tow bar a popular option is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. I have linked its instructions and a video for you to view. You will also need safety cables such as # RM-643. The coiled design of these cables helps keep them off of the ground. For lighting you are probably going to want to go with a magnetic...

  • Is a Spindle Washer Needed Between the Spindle Nut and Outer Bearing on Dexter 5 on 4-1/2 Hubs
  • Yes, there should be a washer of some type between the spindle nut and the bearing on your trailer. The washer protects the back side of the bearing from the edges and points on the back side of the spindle nut. There are several types of spindle washers available depending on the spindle configuration on your trailer. The Washer For 1 inch Spindle, # SW1000, is typically used on spindles that have a castle nut, like # 165686, and a cotter pin, # 165649. A D washer, # 5-23, would be...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2000 Ford Mustang GT Convertible and 2007 Saturn Aura Behind a Motor Home
  • As long as your 2000 Ford Mustang is not a Cobra SVT the most cost effective base plates are going to be Blue Ox # BX2159. And for your 2007 Saturn Aura you can use # BX3329 (fits all models including hybrids). For an inexpensive tow bar that will work with both base plate sets you can use the Adventurer, # BX7322. It is rated for 5,000 pounds. It does not include safety cables so you will need to add some separately, # BX88196. You will also need lighting for each vehicle. The easiest...

  • Replacement Cradle for Rhode Gear Shuttle Bike Rack
  • The correct replacement cradles for your Rhode Gear Shuttle Rack is # RG8890084. Rhode Gear was bought out by Yakima, and some of the old Rhode Gear products are still available like this one. The Thule Cradle # 853-7887 that you referenced, may work, but, it may also be too long to install over any curves in the bike rack arm. In the picture, you can see that the Thule cradle, which has a 1 inch diameter and a 2-5/8 inch width. The Rhode Gear cradle has a 1 inch diameter and 2-1/8...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2001 Ford Mustang Behind an RV
  • I checked the 2001 Ford Mustang owner's manual and on page 128 it states that it you want to flat tow the vehicle for further than 50 miles and faster than 35 miles per hour then the driveshaft has to be disconnect. Ford recommends the driveshaft be removed/installed only by a qualified technician. See your local dealer for driveshaft removal/installation. If you end up flat towing the vehicle then you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking....
