  My experience about using Rain-X Deicer
Posted by: v8ismyheart - 06-25-2023, 08:10 PM - Forum: Guides - No Replies

Alright, so winter hit hard this year, and I was tired of scraping ice off my Mustang’s windshield every morning. I decided to give the Rain-X Deicer a shot—figured anything was better than freezing my fingers off with that ice scraper.

Honestly, I was pretty impressed. Just sprayed it on, and the ice started melting away like magic. I didn’t have to work nearly as hard to clear the windshield, and it didn’t leave any weird streaks or residue, which is a big win in my book. I was a bit worried it might mess with the paint or the glass, but after a couple of weeks of using it, no problems at all.

If you’re dealing with frosty mornings and you’re sick of scraping, I’d say go for it. Just keep it handy in your car, and you’re good to go. Anyone else used this stuff? How’d it work out for you?

  Gen2 Cotoye vs Gen3 coyote - need a comparison
Posted by: v8ismyheart - 06-23-2023, 07:40 PM - Forum: Questions - Replies (1)

I’ve been reading up on the Gen 3 Coyote and wondering if it’s worth considering over my Gen 2. For those who’ve driven both, how does the power feel? Is the Gen 3 more reliable, or is it just a minor upgrade? I’d love to hear from anyone with experience with both engines.

  2013 Ford Mustang pcv valve location
Posted by: v8ismyheart - 06-21-2023, 05:56 PM - Forum: Questions - No Replies

Hey everyone, I’m currently working on some maintenance for my 2013 Mustang GT, and I’m planning to replace the PCV valve as part of the process. I’ve noticed a bit of oil residue around the engine, and I suspect the PCV valve might be getting clogged. I’ve looked through the manual and done some searching, but I’m still having trouble pinpointing exactly where it’s located. Can someone here guide me on where to find it? I want to get this sorted before it leads to any bigger issues.

  Installing rear wiper blade on Ford Mustang
Posted by: v8ismyheart - 05-26-2023, 09:21 AM - Forum: Guides - No Replies

Alright, so most Mustangs didn’t come with rear wipers—kinda makes sense since it’s a pony car, not a family hauler. But hey, if you’re like me and just hate those water streaks on your back window, adding a rear wiper is totally doable. Just gotta be ready to get your hands dirty, and maybe swear a little (or a lot) along the way. Here’s the lowdown on how to make it happen.

Step 1: Check if Your Mustang Can Handle It

First off, you gotta figure out if your Mustang’s even up for this. The rear window on most Mustangs is pretty sloped, so space is tight. You’ll need to see if there’s enough room to mount a wiper motor back there. If you’ve got a hatchback (lucky you) or a convertible, you might have a bit more space, but don’t expect it to be easy.

Step 2: Pick the Right Wiper Motor and Blade

Now, you need a motor that won’t take up half your trunk space. Some folks have used motors from smaller hatchbacks—those compact little suckers can usually do the trick. Just make sure it’s strong enough to move the blade without getting stuck halfway across your window.

Rain-X has some decent rear wiper blades. Measure your rear window first to see what size you need. For most Mustangs, something between 12 and 14 inches should work—just don’t go too big, or it’ll look like your Mustang’s got a giant toothbrush on the back.

Step 3: Figure Out the Wiring and Switch

Here’s where things get real. You’ll need to run wires from the motor to a power source, which means digging into your Mustang’s innards a bit. Most people run the wiring through the rear panels, but be ready to pull off some trim pieces to hide those wires. Oh, and don’t forget—you’ll need a switch on your dash to turn this thing on and off. You can either hijack an existing switch or add a new one. Just make sure it’s close enough that you can reach it without looking like you’re doing the Macarena.

Step 4: Mount the Wiper Motor (Carefully!)

Time to drill some holes! (But seriously, measure like three times before you drill anything.) You want that motor mounted as close to the center of your rear window as you can get it, so the wiper blade covers the most area. Use some sturdy brackets to hold the motor in place—you do NOT want this thing rattling around back there.

Step 5: Attach the Wiper Blade

Once the motor’s all snug and secure, slap that wiper blade on. Make sure it’s lined up so it actually wipes the window, not just the air. Adjust the angle if it’s looking wonky—better to catch it now than realize it later when you’re in a downpour.

Step 6: Test It Out

Before you button everything up, give it a test run. Turn it on and see if it wipes the window like it should. If it’s scraping, missing spots, or just flailing around like a fish outta water, you’ll need to tweak it a bit. Once it’s working, you can put your panels back and call it a day.

Step 7: Fine-Tune and Wrap It Up

Do a final check to make sure everything’s working smoothly. If something seems off, now’s the time to fix it—don’t wait until your first rainy day. Once it’s all good, congrats, you’ve just turned your Mustang into one of the few with a rear wiper! Now go show it off (or keep it a secret, whatever floats your boat).

  gen 2 vs gen3 coyote - what is better?
Posted by: v8ismyheart - 05-24-2023, 08:12 AM - Forum: Questions - No Replies

Hey everyone, I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth upgrading to a Gen 3 Coyote over my current Gen 2. Has anyone made the switch? I’m curious about the real-world differences in performance and reliability. Is the extra power noticeable, or am I better off sticking with the Gen 2? Appreciate any insights!
