Fuel Gauge I have a 98 and a 2001 and both show empty with the light around 13gal and around 220-230 miles on the odometer. I usually figure around 230 city miles to a fill up. I don't usually do much out of rush hour driving with them since they are my daily drivers. I recall that they both...

Heck yeah welcome back! Welcome back y'know this means you can never leave again right!

Miller...prayers are with you on this I know your pain. Keep your God and Family first careers and material objects come and go. I would love to see you get it back though.

You let your wife out of the kitchen...:wow:....don't get me wrong my wife has to leave the kitchen every once and a while to do the other chores...:lmao:...

Just deployed mine on my 98 while pulling a stump...they definately work even when you don't want them to. They are good for the life of the vehicle. The mechanic could have disabled the airbags for some reason. Check the dash cover for the passenger side if it has been deployed it should have a...

Well thats a horrifying story to read....:wow:...if thats not an etch a sketch moment I don't know what is.:repuke: Thats about as bad as accidently typing t4r.com instead of t4r.org...

I am just back on the road after deploying my airbags...I had my body shop put in "used" but certified airbags and replace the module as well as clockspring and put a new windsheild in. The total for all the work was 3460.00...on my 98. The 99+ models have seat belt pretensioners as well as...

Someone has to say it...."That will buff right out"!!!!

I have been driving a donor 2001 completly stock Mustang GT...not like my 88or 89 5 liters but thats another story...before my recent mishap (search stump pulling=airbag)...I would have said hands down a 3rd gen or 4th gen Mustang. I was looking at having to total it since the cost to replace a...

Indeed...there is a lot less compared from 1999-and above and between my 1998 looks like my truck just needs airbags, clockspring (maybe) and module + windsheild around 2K estimated. I will get pictures up the Truck is at my buddies house and I will be there tonight to move it to my body shop...

Durk...your links to the FSM have saved me a lot of money and are very informative....you rock man:thumb3:...I now know what to check to keep all of the people in line that I should be able to trust (muffler bearings...blinker fluid...etc...). I feel that I can almost perform the repairs myself...

Simply pull fuse #7 its the 'emergency flasher' one in the engine bay. This will eliminate the whole ordeal. Wish....wish...wish I knew that on Monday night.:nerd:

Forgive me if I misled you I will not re-sale it without getting them repaired...just save up and do it if its more than 2500.00...my idea is to replace the windsheild and steering wheel and get the parts from a salvage yard over time and work with a body shop to do it. As long as the seatbelts...

I will find out more tomorrow when my body shop looks at the vehicle. I assume since my seatbelts pull out and retract plus will lock if I pull them suddenly it should be ok. Hell I really don't know I am not a body man...but this is the first vehicle I have owned with airbags...if you ask me...

The qoute's I have been getting are around 5000 to repair (phone call to shops): Replace Dash Replace airbag modules Replace Clock Spring Replace Sensor module Replace Steering wheel Replace windshield Replace Seatbelt tensioners Replace Gauge Cluster After looking at it in the daylight and...
