ya napa gold is wix and napa silver is fram. i don't mind fram but wix is better. good to know that o-rielys has wix i didn't know that oh ya as for air filters k&n is a good one to go with the inital cost may be alot but they filter better and are cheaper in the long run. you can get K&N at napa to. to anyone that doesn't know this k&n are cleanable filters all you have to buy after you buy one is the oil i have a friend with one in a 6.7 cummins and he says it costs about twelve dollars every time he cleans his filter. that is less than half of what a stock wix costs for that engine

i get them from napa, napa gold is wix. rockauto.com might have them but i'm not sure.

:-p well now i feel dumb i was thinking of a different car obviously the gt kinda made me think v8. i'm not a ford fanatic i am a chevy guy lol i can tell you just about every engine chevy made but when it comes to ford i really don't know alot.

wix is the only way to go i think they may be a little more but they are worth it. i have nothing but wix all the way around on my subie

lol a 66 ford is alot different than a subaru 2.5 there is alot more horse power coming out of that 66 so a rod may act differently

subaru autos don't free wheel under deceleration they actually slow you down so removing the power to the rear drive shaft will help with deceleration also

thanks for the info. i am accustomed to older cars i was not aware of this.

i agree. i will occasionally use them if the price is substantially better but for the most part its worth spending a little more to not have to deal with the mess ups

well do what you think you have to i am just trying to help. i have had this prob before and i put the fuse in and was able to drive it around for quite awhile.

the cap radiator and thermostat have all been replaced but that is good info for the future and i am also having circulation problems as i said earlier right before i overheat my heater blows cold

the reason for the fuse i was telling you about is only on autos it shuts off the rear pump so that in case of rear seal problems you can put this fuse in and make it home. i have two awd drives at my house same year make and model one stick and one auto the stick does not have a fwd drive fuse because there is no pump to shut off. and actually you could probably put this fuse in and leave the rear drive line in and drive it if you have it.

okay then it is probably a u joint i am sorry about the confusion. my awd had a place where you can put it in to fwd mode with a fuse if you have this then you could remove drive shaft and drive it safely.

now i'm confused is it front wheel drive of rear wheel drive? if it is fwd it would be cvs if it is rear wheel drive it is probably carrier or u joint.

if the rpms stay the same its not your clutch

when i say two wheel drive i mean rear wheel drive not front wheel drive. sorry for the confusion my bad

nice car! those brats are good little subies.

i know the driveshaft is what we are talking about. the front and rear axels that drive the tires are cvs and they don't grind when they start to go out they click when you are turning. the front comes out of the tranny no u joints

blown head gasket. when running i have bubbles in the radiator small and frequent.

? that doesn't make sense it has to have u joints whether or not it was two or four wheel drive. i have an awd it has u joints.

wow good to know i would probably do the same thing.

probably not unless it is four wheel drive or awd.

its kinda like you have to deal with their mess ups so you can get the better price:-p

#1 i have worked on aluminum engines you still have to re torque them #2 being horizontal shouldn't make any differance #3 the engines you are talking about that have a cast iron block and aluminum heads didn't last long because of problems with the heads cracking for the exact reason you said because the two metals react differently to heat.

exactly! no mater what the engine is made of the gaskets sometimes compress.

sounds like a carrier bearing. if this has been going on for long you will need u-joints also
