Default Reliability Post...To keep everyone informed (like Consumer Reports)

Hello people!! I posted a while back just to let everyone know how the mustang will hold up during high mileage driving. I now have 75K miles on her, and the only thing I have to do is put some new brakes on Sophie. Other than that, i may need some new spark plugs, but everything else is alright. I'll let yall know when trouble comes a knockin, but for the most part I just give her the dose of oil she needs at 5k miles.

Auto
AEM Intake
JBA Exhaust

Your post is very good to hear. I am planning on keeping mine for a very long time and putting well over 100k on.

One question-have you put any mod's on your car? If so, what changes have you made to her?

I keep reading about changing the factory tune and I wonder if it will shorten the life of the engine/trans.

Thanks-

All I've done is put in an AEM Intake, and also a JBA exhaust. However, last nigh my throttle was acting up, and she almost cut off.
