so i just jacked up the stang to see what it would take to change the oil pressure sending unit (cuz i think its lying to me!)

and noticed that a strip of rubber is hangin out of my balancer all the way around it!!! and i am just gonna take a stab at this and say that thats not a good thing...:angel:

Throw it away! I went with professional products damper, cheap, sfi approved and it's holding up good so far.

I wouldnt drive it at all. The ballancer is on its way to coming apart damaging the engine and maybe you if you are close enough when it comes apart

I just changed my oil sending unit a couple days ago, because it would go to almost 0 oil pressure. After the change it stays in the middle of my oil pressure gauge and stays there or goes higher. I agree with the other stangbangerz that the balancer is about to come apart and fail. Replace it asap.

been drivin it since i dont know when it started to do that.... dont have any other properly functional vehicles :(

hadnt noticed any shaking... i only get some vibration around 90-100 mph

guess i'll be checkin on balancer prices, and maybe underdrives too...

Yep, don't drive it, I had a stock balancer come apart on me once... it's a bad thing. I could tear a lot of crap up when it comes apart and cost you a lot of money.

pulley adapter????? :confused:

Oh and by the way... will it fit 94/95's? seeing how practically nothing from a fox is interchangable...

Seeing how i could use one, PM me with a price if you dont mind

If these fancy ones are too expensive i am just going to go with the nodular iron replacement balancer from ford racing for 70 bucks....
