The temp isn't so much the problem, it's the humidity! I lose more than I can take in since I'm stuck under the car. It's not so easy to work under the car when your soaked and mosquitoes are sucking the life out of you.

They say your as old as you feel and here lately I feel like I'm 90. Part of me wants to do so much but I find myself just dieing to finally get some rest for a change.

I got to admit though, being able to get outside and work on my Mustang helps me feel younger for a change. It's a good break from every day obligations.

My first car was a red 92 LX and now that I got this 91 GT it's almost like old times

haha im spoiled too...

my stepdad mustve blown like $3K at Harbor Freight buying everything i could ever want for the place, minus a lift. even put the AC in and insulated the place...

go figure, i couldnt touch the place when i lived there, i move out and now its like an episode of Garagmahal...

at least they let me keep all my tools/compressor, etc there and i dont have to bring it back and forth, just sucks living almost 100 miles away from all my crap lol.

What am I missing? This chirping sound really sounds like a belt now, not the fast cricket noise. It is controlled by the cars speed or momentum. It doesn't do it at idle anymore. The only time I hear it is when I accellerate or decellerate but pushing the clutch in does help of course because it stops the cars accelleration.

I replaced the TOB and I greased the bearing, input shaft, and clutch fork and pivot ball but it is still squeeling. It is coming from the rear of the engine; I'm sure of that.

Could it be the pilot bearing? What do they sound like when they go bad? I've never had one go bad before.

I have checked the alternator pulley when I checked the others and it seems fine. Alternator also tested good at Autozone.

I'm certain it's from the rear of the engine, I just don't know what it could be.
