I just rolled over 60k on my '03 Mach 1. Part of my cried a bit like a parent watching their child grow up but I didn't buy it just to let it sit and rot!
For the AC, there are these sensors in the system, low pressure and high pressure, that can fail and cause the vehicle to not engage the compressor. I would test those first.
reallunacy mine went out too, when I took it to the dealer they replaced compressor but that didn't fix it took it back and they put a new condenser in now it blows cold
Austin Stull Dealers need to quit throwing parts at a problem. The sensors I mentioned can be tested with a paper clip and should generally be your first thing to check.
reallunacy that's exactly what happened to my gt500, sensors went bad and would not switch on my compressors. Also the went mad trying to diagnose the problem. Definitely get them checked first. Will save you a bunch of headaches if that's the problem.
With regards to the AC, check to make sure your fans are spinning the right direction. I had hot hair and went through a couple compressors because a shop cut my fan wire and never told me. They tried reconnecting it and the fans ran backwards, blowing hot engine air onto the condenser and radiator.
Love the sound of your 5.0L David. My 2010 Mustang GT 4.6L had rear end issues too. Happened around 45k miles but luckily I had it replaced under the factory powertrain warranty. It's super reliable, but it has few little quirks like the CD changer not working and some noisy blend door/mode door actuators.
Your AC issue, check out replacing the Scroll Valve on the AC compressor. Did this with my ford, $40 part and a couple bolts to unscrew. release ac coolant (vacuum), replace scroll valve and recharge system. MUCH cheaper than a new compressor and maintenance fees.
I have a 2010 GT and everyone is always telling me to trade it in for a 5.0. I just can't part ways with it and I don't think I'll ever will. It's my baby and I love that damn car. BTW I just ordered one of your shirts, can't wait to get it.
junior zambrano omg you have to really don't know mustangs buddy. 2010 was the last year the GT had the 4.6 engine. After 2011 ford started putting the 5.0 in the GT. Please stop talking lol you're really embarrassing yourself dude. You have a computer in front of you, look it up.
Add 2-stroke oil to the gas, it will extend the piston ring and cylinder life like it does on a rotary with the apex seals and rotor housings. I have a Suzuki Samurai as daily with a rebuilt motor with 70,000+ Miles, still has great compression.
7 years ago I owned a 2003 cobra mustang..made 510whp..full bolts ons +pulley and bored super charger, upgraded clutch..bought it with 40k miles..put additional 60k miles before I sold it..took it to the strip a bunch of times..the only problem I ever had with it was a wheel bearing that went out and a blown strut..
The A/C thing is a common mustang issue that people don't talk about. It's a problem with the compressor usually. Had two friends go out on them. One of them, his went out driving through the desert in Arizona so that was fun for him...
I got a 2012 with 104k on it, no major problems, except replacing a pinion seal to fix a leak. typical aftermarket additions had no problems as well. Can't wait to see what else you have in store for your car.
My 95 GT has 292,000. lol Original 5.0 still running strong. I drive over 80 miles a day. Surprised I never see you around, I live in Flowery Branch and work in Tucker, so we cross paths regularly on the streets. My car is red with a black front end and CROWD CONTROL on the front bumper.
If you don't hear the compressor engage, it could be a relay or the switch. But you can put in the UV dye into the system to try and see where the leak is.
I really appreciate your videos, man. I am a super proud owner of a black 2014 GT Premium with the Track Pack. I’m a Navy man, I was stationed in Japan (and I owned a ’96 GTS Skyline at the time). Anyways, the Navy had a program for new cars for returning service members from overseas stations and it was between the Challenger and the Mustang (GM didn’t wanna participate despite being bailed out by the government). The Mustang was it and I got to option it exactly how I wanted it from the Ford site, Ford built the car, put it on a train, shipped it to a local dealer in Chicago where I was returning to, I went there did the tax and title, grabbed the keys and blasted on my way to San Diego to my next duty station. So yea, my first 1000 miles was on Chicago to San Diego road trip, best time of life. SO… that was four and a half ago and 63000 miles later, and yea man, THIS THING IS SOLID. Luckily I got a 70,000 mile full warranty and have had to bring it in for the ring and pinion which was the same problem you mentioned here, but happened to me at 40k, I had to replace the clutch (totally my fault) but they still covered it under warranty! Aside from that, zero issues. It’s my daily as well, so the finish has taken a beating, little scratches here and there, a few dents, but nothing that’s too much of an eyesore. Only upgrade I’ve done so far are slotted and vented rotors from Powerstop and Hawk carbon ceramic pads, which for my driving, were a bit much as they squeal initially, but once heated up, I’m stoppin’ on dimes. Super glad to hear you’re power gains with the minimal bolt ons you’ve done. I like that number honestly, I feel for me, that’s perfect. I feel Ford knocked it out of the park with the Coyote and if you just leave the internals be and do maybe a few bolts ons NA, you’re money. I really go all suspension first though.. Whiteline watts link, camber plates, coil overs, stuff like that, then do the intake, throttle body and exhaust and that should do it for me. Again, thanks for your videos, it’s nice to see another owner perspective who really owns their car like I do and how it holds up. Take care man.
I love how you love your car. So many people just want you to toss out Smurff and get something new. There's something much more important than a newer "better" vehicle which is the emotional attachment with your car. To me, your Smurff is way more impressive than say Vehicle Virgins Lambo. That is something he "bought" because he could. he doesn't have the blood sweat and tears into it like you do.
I never heard of these motors failing this early, I seen these motors doing 600hp+ with higher miles and still run strong, even force fed Mach 1s and marauders survive longer, tough luck tbh, look at the bright side, build it stronger and up the boost
It isn't the shifter that fixes the lockout it is changing the brake fluid/clutch fluid. Clutch dust contaminates the fluid and will keep the clutch from fully disengaging especially at high speed when the fluid is the hottest. The clutch dust in the fluid restricts the flow to the throw out.
So the a/c thing. Start the car and slowly turn the dial from hot to cold if it starts blowing cold it is the mixer door regulator, if not it may be the temp sensor both are easy to get to. Lots of how to guides on TH-cam. Also check the forums if that's not it. There is a way to check the temp sensor with a volt meter. Good luck and great vid brother.
I'd check to see if even the compressor would kick on and check the relay first before adding added freon. Adding just freon reduces the compressor oil ratio, which reduces the life of the compressor.
we have a 05 GT, supercharged, full exhaust, 4.10s and 3800 tc, and recently just bought a 16 GT350, I still think the 05 is a fun car to drive and I can't let go of that car, I can only imagine how the 13 5.0 feels like with these mods.
About your A/C, take it to an A/C shop so they can find the issue or leak, and I'll teach you how to fix it DIY. Fixing the A/C on those cars is a piece of cake.
ThatDudeinBlue I had the same issue with the A/C. It was the A/C clutch and the ford dealer replaced it under the bumper to bumper warranty. But I don't know if you have an extended bumper to bumper. Hopefully this will give you a better insight on where to look
I had a 2012 GT w/ the performance pack. Traded it in with 22,000 miles. It had a bent axle from the factory. The stock battery exploded. Then the A/C quit working. All was fixed under warranty obviously but the overall quality was trash. The 2015+ models seem like they were getting all of the attention the 2012-2014's were supposed to get.
David I know this may sound dumb but for your a/c try resetting your battery. I had the same problem on my 2010 and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it, and then one day after adding a mod when I reset the battery it worked just fine.
Just to let everyone know. The issue David has with his A/C could VERY possibly be the a/c CLUTCH. I’ve gone through one already and it melted off and it wouldn’t blow anything but hot air. If you look into your engine bay ( 11-14 mustangs) your ac compressor is in the bottom left on the front of the engine. Idling in hot weather you can see visible melted plastic/ rubber on the area below the a/c clutch. So either don’t run your a/c when your inlet air temp is above 100 degrees. An don’t idle with it hot outside and the a/c on full blast
It's good yours is holding up with the mods and i understand about not wanting to part with it. I have 2014 GT TP but mine's hardly broken in - it only has 4,000 miles on it. I've done the full Ford Racing suspension and the only engine mods are a cold air intake and tune. I've also put in a MGW shift kit. The new generation other than the GT350 just done' do much for me and the GT350 is very hard (read expensive) to get around here. I do like the interiors of the new ones though. I might take a look at the 2018 but with what i put into my 2014 I don't feel like starting over again.
dont ever sell it man . i sold my 323ci because the costs started to build up , still regret it every day .i still watch clips of me hooning it on local backroads on a weekly basis. i wish i had kept it for occasional drives but ,...yeah somethimes you do things in a hurry without really thinking about it . if i ever find one close to how my car looked i buy it in an instant , but i propably will never find one with that low km's . im glad i still have the clips and a lot of pictures
Great update David. I'm surprised to hear about the AC and the rear axle drive! Luckily those are things that can get fixed. Hang on to Smurrf for as long as you can dude! I was planning to keep my truck forever until the engine decided to take a crap. Buying a new engine ended up being too expensive so I had to buy a new car. Looking forward to the next video!
If the AC doesn't work, don't turn it on! If you had recharged it twice it means that it has a leak, just like home air conditioners! Greetings from Argentina ;)
Damn dude, you had some bad luck with your 13. I have a 2012 with everything still original stock. And almost 110 thousand on it now. No dash lights no issues at all with her and I daily her and drive the hell outta her too. So glad I haven't had as many issues. But its good to know what to look out for. Appreciate it 👍
keep driving your baby david! Every true car enthusiast have, have had or will have his baby. This car you wish you had never sold once its late. I have mine: a 2003 citroen van with only 90hp. I grew up on it and I will try to keep in the family forever. Thanks for your videos dude!
Turns out compressor clutch cant handle procharger, it was a nightmare replacing compressor. While the compressor it self wasn't bad it had to be taking off anyway so I changed. Make sure you turn off A/C before hammering!!
Great vid! I'm right there with you at 86k miles. The only problem I've had is the rear pinion flange started leaking at 75k, about 400 miles before the extended warranty expired. Still love it as much as the day i bought it. GHiG ftw! edit:damn just noticed this is from last year, you pile on miles even quicker than I do!
Tell me how the fuck you got it for only 26. My 2016 mustang V6 with only the equipment package and wheel and tire package + led fogs + auto was 29,000. No way your was only 26
+Draco Malformed msrp was 34. i paid 26. ford had a 5,000 rebate good til 10/31. it is a base gt 5.0 with 3.55 gear and spare tire/wheel option. brand new
Jason 707 5,000 rebate??? even with rebate 26 sounds too good to be true. I never got anymore than 1000 rebate. Starting price is 32 grand and once you factor in APR financing, taxes, registration fees, a base model without rebate would be around 34-35k so 29-30k with rebate. Maybe you got a lemon or something lol
+Draco Malformed msrp was 33,885. i paid 26k plus tax,title license. yes ford put a 5000 rebate out from mid oct. to 10/31 due to camaros out selling stangs. 28,700 out the door
hey david. i had similar AC issues although with a different car (nissan pulsar) it may be the evaporator if it isnt the compressor. if the smell of the refrigerant is getting into the cabin its the evaporator core for sure.
the ac problem is probably a leak somewhere, you can try to put some uv dye in it and diagnose it yourself or most shops will do it, i know its around $100 here but i think California is a bit more expensive cuz of all the environmental fees
Finally decided to get a '14 gt myself after over a year of the "what should I get?!" (Black with charcoal rims, roush axel backs, mid pipe, bama tune etc.) So, I too love this car. And I am totally an import guy. I cross shopped Infiniti G's, Bmw 335i ( just too small for me), and various other cars. Totally love the simplicity, noise, the looks you get, the sliding round corners etc etc. such a blast man! Anyway, love the videos! Take care.
I feel the same with my 2012 v6. Saved so long for a mustang bought it with 15k miles. Lots of memories. Don't think I could ever sell it lol. Especially since it's paid off now :P
sounds like too me that for you beating the snot out of it and really haven't had any problems that means that the mustang is built really well! and you're going to be on the velocity channel!! that's great!! i know you said feburary but do you what day?
You know, you could always sell smurrf through your channel and raise money for a smurrf 2.0. I think a lot of people would want it, and it might open up a garage spot for a newer stang. Or Focus RS. :)
Hey David, MY AC went at 40,000 its covered by FORD Premium warranty. Take it in they should fix it if you have the 100,000 Warranty its only 100 dollar deductible
Threw me off without the turbo spoiling into. However, this intro was quite professional. Keep up the content and I can not wait for the vid of you being able to really get into your smurfx
I live in Atlanta and I have an abs light on despite no type of accident, and I pass. I know you can pass with one system code not ready when you scan it. But Otnerwise it's like a 90% chance you won't pass with an engine light lol
I really did want you to get the 2015 Mustang GT when it came out, and then the 2016 GT350. Because those do look really cool, especially when modded. But I understand you 100% on not wanting to get rid of this because of how much it means to you. It did start this channel off. And your Stang still does look and sound like a beast. Sounds even better now with those headers. Still looks very fun to hoon in. :)
I think it's the compressor or pump or whatever same thing happened to me and my dad, we were on our way home from a trip and the a/c wasn't as cold as it should be so we got some of the a/c coolant stuff and it didn't do anything but luckily he still had the warranty so got it fixed for free and it worked fine till he sold it and got a new one and it was the 2012
Did he say south Atlanta doesn't have good areas? Really? That's sad I didn't expect that from him. Just so you know David most of the ppl who go to your meets are from that area.
Hey David I know I asked about the Lexus is300 at dipcon buttttttttt after watching the Smurf vids and V6 stang vids I decided to start saving up for the cyclone mustang.
My 5.0 only has 35k miles and I haven't had any issues at all. Makes me feel a lot better knowing how reliable these 5.0s are since you beat the shit out of your car more than I do. lol.
david for the ac you might want test out the ac compressor relay/fuse. switch it with one that is on the car already to test it because even though it might seem good it could trick you. good luck with with the car hopefully its not on borrowed time and you can drive it for as long as you like and keep up the great videos
Faster in a line but not around a track it's missing all the handling parts that the 350 has also the crappy GT V6 over the awesome V8 of the GT350 come on guy.
Thanks for watching guys!
Smurrf is the OG 👍🏻
ThatDudeinBlue cant go wrong with the reliability of the smurf
Bruh your car has had a massive overhaul since your last mileage video. Your channel rocks bro!
ThatDudeinBlue David if you come to Missouri can you please review my mustang
ThatDudeinBlue it's still got stock power but I think you might find it to handle very different than most mustangd
ThatDudeinBlue your 240 better be packing some heat to take that out smurf in a drag race
Those are not seats, they are sofas.
Jinge Liu Lmao
Jinge Liu hahahaha im weak
Agree
They are kind of shape like a snake /cobra head lol
90,000 miles, and you still haven't wrecked it trying to do a burnout while leaving a cars n coffee?
Dee Jay he isn't stupid
Damn how did you come up with such an original joke
Dee Jay 10/10 very original
Dee Jay funny cuz last cars and coffee i was at 350z doing such....
DJ he is the type of guy who can handle the insane power. Not like other mustang driver who thinks mustang isnt fast and stuff
Let me drive. I won't drive it hard....
Jake TheGardenSnake ERMAGERD ITS JAKE!
I want to race th-cam.com/video/nF0-YhKWJQg/w-d-xo.html
why you have a massage chair as a seat ?
Dacrazy-can I'm dead
LMAO
Lmao
He cant afford racing seats so he put on those ugly seat covers....
did u even watch the video?
As a Mustang driver, most importantly you haven't crashed it :)
Hahaha
I'm actually impressed that it went 90,000 miles with no engine problems with all the mods you did.
"Mustang guy, why do you have to be that guy, why?" --- You do the same thing.....................
Hey buddy I think it's called sarcasm.
JPalm sarcasm is a beautiful thing.🙃
Lol I missed the sarcasm as well but I love when people show off when they see me
NeverStopPulling yeah lol he didn't seem very sarcastic
I bet this is why he doesnt make mustang videos.
My dad recently bought a 2014 mustang gt. It's awesome I love it. It is so fast and so much fun.
My 2004 Mustang just hit 90,000 I feel like a proud mom, lol
what you got there is a unicorn...
I just rolled over 60k on my '03 Mach 1. Part of my cried a bit like a parent watching their child grow up but I didn't buy it just to let it sit and rot!
CandidCameraLifestyle My 99 just hit 100k also
My '02 Is @220k 🏇💯
V6 or V8? How's the reliability been?
For the AC, there are these sensors in the system, low pressure and high pressure, that can fail and cause the vehicle to not engage the compressor. I would test those first.
reallunacy mine went out too, when I took it to the dealer they replaced compressor but that didn't fix it took it back and they put a new condenser in now it blows cold
Austin Stull Dealers need to quit throwing parts at a problem. The sensors I mentioned can be tested with a paper clip and should generally be your first thing to check.
reallunacy that's exactly what happened to my gt500, sensors went bad and would not switch on my compressors. Also the went mad trying to diagnose the problem. Definitely get them checked first. Will save you a bunch of headaches if that's the problem.
reallunacy the compressors in these shit the clutches out pretty regularly, it's a cheaply made part and their fix is more cheap parts.
You are supposed to rev back at another mustang passing.
You were the reason I bought my 2013 gt. Best car I've ever owned, love it!
how many crowds per gallon does it get?
Approx. 4
On a good day maybe 5
Fern Sanchez one of my good buddy's makes up to seven sometimes
jaakko200987654321 funny.
Depends on how ugly they are lolz
My AC took a crap on me too. I had a 2014 with just over 40,000 miles on it. I solved that problem by buying a corvette.
Mark Orszulak Jr. I'd love a corvette but I'd never sell my car for one
Same ac went out at 70,000 on my old 3.7 so now I got a 5.0😃
With regards to the AC, check to make sure your fans are spinning the right direction. I had hot hair and went through a couple compressors because a shop cut my fan wire and never told me. They tried reconnecting it and the fans ran backwards, blowing hot engine air onto the condenser and radiator.
Don't worry about the interior David. It's a real retro muscle car... just like in the '60s all motor and just the basics hahah
Love the sound of your 5.0L David. My 2010 Mustang GT 4.6L had rear end issues too. Happened around 45k miles but luckily I had it replaced under the factory powertrain warranty. It's super reliable, but it has few little quirks like the CD changer not working and some noisy blend door/mode door actuators.
Your AC issue, check out replacing the Scroll Valve on the AC compressor. Did this with my ford, $40 part and a couple bolts to unscrew. release ac coolant (vacuum), replace scroll valve and recharge system. MUCH cheaper than a new compressor and maintenance fees.
ThatDudeInBlue I don't know if you'll see this, but check the relay for the A/C compressor. It may have burned out or the terminals could be corroded.
It's your compressor man. They are known to go out on coyote mustangs. Replace it and be done.
Is that the cause of the infamous "engine tick"?
Jonathan Villalba ^^^
Just keep changing that oil and we'll all hope to see another 90,000 out of it!
I have a 2010 GT and everyone is always telling me to trade it in for a 5.0. I just can't part ways with it and I don't think I'll ever will. It's my baby and I love that damn car. BTW I just ordered one of your shirts, can't wait to get it.
Jesse Dash a gt is the 5.0 😑
junior zambrano you clearly don't know about mustangs.... the 2010 GT has a 4.6 not a 5.0 😑😑😑😑
Jesse Dash says the one claiming to have a gt but isnt a 5.0 theres only 2 the gt is the 5.0 v8 the none gt wich only has the pony badges is the v6
junior zambrano omg you have to really don't know mustangs buddy. 2010 was the last year the GT had the 4.6 engine. After 2011 ford started putting the 5.0 in the GT. Please stop talking lol you're really embarrassing yourself dude. You have a computer in front of you, look it up.
Jesse Dash they use 4.7s not 4.6s and GT has pretty well always had 5.0
that driver seat looks huge , and kinda ugly
it is and it is.
And very comfortable.
its an american car, most americans arent david sized
thrftstore Kinda like your bike helmet
khan brah yeah they are more your moms size
Add 2-stroke oil to the gas, it will extend the piston ring and cylinder life like it does on a rotary with the apex seals and rotor housings. I have a Suzuki Samurai as daily with a rebuilt motor with 70,000+ Miles, still has great compression.
7 years ago I owned a 2003 cobra mustang..made 510whp..full bolts ons +pulley and bored super charger, upgraded clutch..bought it with 40k miles..put additional 60k miles before I sold it..took it to the strip a bunch of times..the only problem I ever had with it was a wheel bearing that went out and a blown strut..

Remember to take care of your cars lad's and girl's!!
damn what the hell people still find the mustangs and crowd meme funny, it was funny for a week thats it lol
The United States of America I own a mustang and find them hilarious
I bet you are fun at parties
And people still do that shit 3 years later

I always figure that between 90k-120k you have a few problems and its smooth sailing after that
As a tech for Ford, I've seen the evaporator core leak religiously on those, my 2014 being one of the many I've changed. Good luck with the AC
1:17 does a pull. 1:26 *another mustang does a pull (dudeinblue) why just why .... !!!???
lol
Caliactive365 smile per gallons :D
niamaru2 that's my logic . ! it's an expensive one but I live by it
bah, might be expensive but I think its worth it lol
Caliactive365 I agree I enjoy when a mustang gives me a little Rev saying hi

Mine went downhill at 120, needs a full rebuild :O
Jordan Miller what year? What mods did you have?
Jordan Miller sad story bro.
2003 cobra with a ported eaton and bola ATAKS, kooks headers etc. You may have seen it (:
I never heard of these motors failing this early, I seen these motors doing 600hp+ with higher miles and still run strong, even force fed Mach 1s and marauders survive longer, tough luck tbh, look at the bright side, build it stronger and up the boost
It isn't the shifter that fixes the lockout it is changing the brake fluid/clutch fluid. Clutch dust contaminates the fluid and will keep the clutch from fully disengaging especially at high speed when the fluid is the hottest. The clutch dust in the fluid restricts the flow to the throw out.
David, my 2014 had the same problem with the AC, they replaced the compressor and it fixed it (: 30,000 miles later and my AC still works
my 98gt has 176k, not many creaks and no rust , very dependable , its my old mare ,I love her.
So the a/c thing. Start the car and slowly turn the dial from hot to cold if it starts blowing cold it is the mixer door regulator, if not it may be the temp sensor both are easy to get to. Lots of how to guides on TH-cam. Also check the forums if that's not it. There is a way to check the temp sensor with a volt meter. Good luck and great vid brother.
After how many miles does it start to hit crowds?
Dim 😂💀 That's a Good one
lololololololololololl so original funny as shit dude
Dim 150k when a teen buys it as his second car or a man in his midlife crisis
More miles than it takes for you to come up with a new joke.
And even more for you to have a sense of humor?
Check your fuses for your AC! It might be that or the relay! Maybe when you were doing the seats or disconnecting something, it shorted it out?
I'd check to see if even the compressor would kick on and check the relay first before adding added freon. Adding just freon reduces the compressor oil ratio, which reduces the life of the compressor.
we have a 05 GT, supercharged, full exhaust, 4.10s and 3800 tc, and recently just bought a 16 GT350, I still think the 05 is a fun car to drive and I can't let go of that car, I can only imagine how the 13 5.0 feels like with these mods.
About your A/C, take it to an A/C shop so they can find the issue or leak, and I'll teach you how to fix it DIY. Fixing the A/C on those cars is a piece of cake.
ThatDudeinBlue I had the same issue with the A/C. It was the A/C clutch and the ford dealer replaced it under the bumper to bumper warranty. But I don't know if you have an extended bumper to bumper. Hopefully this will give you a better insight on where to look
My 06 is still flawless. Glad to see I got the modle that doesnt shit it self apart after a few miles.
I had a 2012 GT w/ the performance pack. Traded it in with 22,000 miles. It had a bent axle from the factory. The stock battery exploded. Then the A/C quit working. All was fixed under warranty obviously but the overall quality was trash. The 2015+ models seem like they were getting all of the attention the 2012-2014's were supposed to get.
Don't let it go ever! 13-14 model mustangs are the best I plan on getting my own '14 GT very soon!
David I know this may sound dumb but for your a/c try resetting your battery. I had the same problem on my 2010 and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it, and then one day after adding a mod when I reset the battery it worked just fine.
Just to let everyone know. The issue David has with his A/C could VERY possibly be the a/c CLUTCH. I’ve gone through one already and it melted off and it wouldn’t blow anything but hot air. If you look into your engine bay ( 11-14 mustangs) your ac compressor is in the bottom left on the front of the engine. Idling in hot weather you can see visible melted plastic/ rubber on the area below the a/c clutch. So either don’t run your a/c when your inlet air temp is above 100 degrees. An don’t idle with it hot outside and the a/c on full blast
It's good yours is holding up with the mods and i understand about not wanting to part with it. I have 2014 GT TP but mine's hardly broken in - it only has 4,000 miles on it. I've done the full Ford Racing suspension and the only engine mods are a cold air intake and tune. I've also put in a MGW shift kit. The new generation other than the GT350 just done' do much for me and the GT350 is very hard (read expensive) to get around here. I do like the interiors of the new ones though. I might take a look at the 2018 but with what i put into my 2014 I don't feel like starting over again.
Hey David Just to let you know someone with the channel name "nbayoung boy" stole your video...
Salvador Sandoval I saw that too.
Salvador Sandoval what is the video called??
it's titled the same as this one except for the end.... it has a few spelling mistakes.
dont ever sell it man . i sold my 323ci because the costs started to build up , still regret it every day .i still watch clips of me hooning it on local backroads on a weekly basis. i wish i had kept it for occasional drives but ,...yeah somethimes you do things in a hurry without really thinking about it . if i ever find one close to how my car looked i buy it in an instant , but i propably will never find one with that low km's . im glad i still have the clips and a lot of pictures
davy vermeiren I cant imagine how sad I'd be if I lost my baby in any way
Great update David. I'm surprised to hear about the AC and the rear axle drive! Luckily those are things that can get fixed. Hang on to Smurrf for as long as you can dude! I was planning to keep my truck forever until the engine decided to take a crap. Buying a new engine ended up being too expensive so I had to buy a new car. Looking forward to the next video!
If the AC doesn't work, don't turn it on! If you had recharged it twice it means that it has a leak, just like home air conditioners! Greetings from Argentina ;)
Dont trade in a paid for car...ever. lol. Especially a highly modded Mustang!
Your A/C isn't working probably because your blend door's are stuck, or the actuator that opens/closes them with hot or cold air is broken.
Damn dude, you had some bad luck with your 13. I have a 2012 with everything still original stock. And almost 110 thousand on it now. No dash lights no issues at all with her and I daily her and drive the hell outta her too. So glad I haven't had as many issues. But its good to know what to look out for. Appreciate it 👍
keep driving your baby david! Every true car enthusiast have, have had or will have his baby. This car you wish you had never sold once its late. I have mine: a 2003 citroen van with only 90hp. I grew up on it and I will try to keep in the family forever.
Thanks for your videos dude!
You need to get rid of those horrid looking seats. Other than that, spot on!
Turns out compressor clutch cant handle procharger, it was a nightmare replacing compressor. While the compressor it self wasn't bad it had to be taking off anyway so I changed. Make sure you turn off A/C before hammering!!
check your ac clutch fuse, it shares a fuse with the radiator fan. you can seriously damage the motor if that fuse is blown.
Great vid! I'm right there with you at 86k miles. The only problem I've had is the rear pinion flange started leaking at 75k, about 400 miles before the extended warranty expired. Still love it as much as the day i bought it. GHiG ftw! edit:damn just noticed this is from last year, you pile on miles even quicker than I do!
just bought a 2016 mustang gt last week brand new for $26,000. base with cloth and 3.55 gear. great car
Jason 707 are you serious? Cause that's crazy, loaded they're around 50k here brand new if I'm not mistaken
Tell me how the fuck you got it for only 26. My 2016 mustang V6 with only the equipment package and wheel and tire package + led fogs + auto was 29,000. No way your was only 26
+Draco Malformed msrp was 34. i paid 26. ford had a 5,000 rebate good til 10/31. it is a base gt 5.0 with 3.55 gear and spare tire/wheel option. brand new
Jason 707 5,000 rebate??? even with rebate 26 sounds too good to be true. I never got anymore than 1000 rebate. Starting price is 32 grand and once you factor in APR financing, taxes, registration fees, a base model without rebate would be around 34-35k so 29-30k with rebate. Maybe you got a lemon or something lol
+Draco Malformed msrp was 33,885. i paid 26k plus tax,title license. yes ford put a 5000 rebate out from mid oct. to 10/31 due to camaros out selling stangs. 28,700 out the door
hey david. i had similar AC issues although with a different car (nissan pulsar) it may be the evaporator if it isnt the compressor. if the smell of the refrigerant is getting into the cabin its the evaporator core for sure.
the ac problem is probably a leak somewhere, you can try to put some uv dye in it and diagnose it yourself or most shops will do it, i know its around $100 here but i think California is a bit more expensive cuz of all the environmental fees
Finally decided to get a '14 gt myself after over a year of the "what should I get?!" (Black with charcoal rims, roush axel backs, mid pipe, bama tune etc.) So, I too love this car. And I am totally an import guy. I cross shopped Infiniti G's, Bmw 335i ( just too small for me), and various other cars. Totally love the simplicity, noise, the looks you get, the sliding round corners etc etc. such a blast man! Anyway, love the videos! Take care.
I feel the same with my 2012 v6. Saved so long for a mustang bought it with 15k miles. Lots of memories. Don't think I could ever sell it lol. Especially since it's paid off now :P
FYI 620 or whatever HP to the wheel is extremely optimistic... want to dispute it? go to the track, 620 should put you in the mid to low 10s at 130+
had same issue with my ac on my ranger you gotta decompress the ac compressor then pressurize it again then ad the freon that should fix it
I had my truck on the Velocity channel as well, David! It's such a cool thing to get to show your vehicle on TV!
A pothole in Atl? Who would've thought............ atl roads suck.
not really, born and raised here
Nate May Try coming to Pennsylvania and then you can complain about roads.
Compared to VA, everyones roads suck. SW VA's asphalt game is on point so I'm spoiled on that regard.
Nate May Haha cool, PA is on the top 5 or 10 list for worst roads in the country
SuzuRyderHD I live In pa. Roads SUCK. Especially I-95
I had a 99 gt and had to get a new rear end too. I also had to get a fuel filler hose on not just that one, but a V6 I had before it too.
I really respect that fact that David drives his car and have experiences with it.
love ur vids man , and u shoud come to gatebil in norway next summer !!
enig!
Dads 2013 dodge ram 3500 has over 300,000 km on it and now where selling it. It's had its problems but now is the time to get a new truck
Damn you drive the hell out of that thing. My 02 GT has 89k lol
E Trout damn that's good. I got an 01 gt and it has about 114
E Trout I have a Honda and it's 105k miles due to an engine swap
E Trout my 93 240sx had 89k when I got it 2 years ago, it now has 115k
I acquired my project 02 GT with 104k.
My '00 GT only has 124K. Gee whiz!
Almost 600k subs go David!
The community is getting bigger.
sounds like too me that for you beating the snot out of it and really haven't had any problems that means that the mustang is built really well! and you're going to be on the velocity channel!! that's great!! i know you said feburary but do you what day?
great video, thanks. got a 2014 and use your experiences to keep her running strong
You know, you could always sell smurrf through your channel and raise money for a smurrf 2.0. I think a lot of people would want it, and it might open up a garage spot for a newer stang. Or Focus RS. :)
Hey David, MY AC went at 40,000 its covered by FORD Premium warranty. Take it in they should fix it if you have the 100,000 Warranty its only 100 dollar deductible
Threw me off without the turbo spoiling into. However, this intro was quite professional. Keep up the content and I can not wait for the vid of you being able to really get into your smurfx
I live in Atlanta and I have an abs light on despite no type of accident, and I pass. I know you can pass with one system code not ready when you scan it. But
Otnerwise it's like a 90% chance you won't pass with an engine light lol
I really did want you to get the 2015 Mustang GT when it came out, and then the 2016 GT350. Because those do look really cool, especially when modded. But I understand you 100% on not wanting to get rid of this because of how much it means to you. It did start this channel off. And your Stang still does look and sound like a beast. Sounds even better now with those headers. Still looks very fun to hoon in. :)
just bought a 2007 v6 with 176k miles, and its doing great, apart from fishy engine problems, and i plan on doing a swap anyways
hey David blue dude. great update. been watching for years now..ur channel is my every week commitment...keep up the awsome work...Matthew. from uk
I think it's the compressor or pump or whatever same thing happened to me and my dad, we were on our way home from a trip and the a/c wasn't as cold as it should be so we got some of the a/c coolant stuff and it didn't do anything but luckily he still had the warranty so got it fixed for free and it worked fine till he sold it and got a new one and it was the 2012
Hey man for your A/C problem my buddy had the same problem and weirdly they said just add coolant and top it off and it worked
time for a 2017 Grabber Blue Mustang GT? :)
Did he say south Atlanta doesn't have good areas? Really? That's sad I didn't expect that from him. Just so you know David most of the ppl who go to your meets are from that area.
Hey David I know I asked about the Lexus is300 at dipcon buttttttttt after watching the Smurf vids and V6 stang vids I decided to start saving up for the cyclone mustang.
My 5.0 only has 35k miles and I haven't had any issues at all. Makes me feel a lot better knowing how reliable these 5.0s are since you beat the shit out of your car more than I do. lol.
david for the ac you might want test out the ac compressor relay/fuse. switch it with one that is on the car already to test it because even though it might seem good it could trick you. good luck with with the car hopefully its not on borrowed time and you can drive it for as long as you like and keep up the great videos
Man i wish you'd do more videos of smurf. Glad to see you put one up! Car looks great! :D
David try looking at the actuators in the dash my truck did the same thing!
Time to trade that thing in for a GT350.
NikiC4 this is way faster than a 350
In a straight line
Faster in a line but not around a track it's missing all the handling parts that the 350 has also the crappy GT V6 over the awesome V8 of the GT350 come on guy.
The GT is a V8. And it isn't crappy by any means.
NikiC4 this car is a v8 not a v6 , and do you follow his wheels well account. because i guess you dont know about his suspension set up..
