Mustang World, How dumb can you get?

[Mr 5 0]

After reading Unit's message, I had to check that site out for myself to see what else they might have incorrect.

Not much, as a lot of the 'Q&A' covers broad subjects that don't have a specific answer. Sort of like a fortune cookie that says: 'You'll receive good news soon.'

Some of the 'Q's' are no-brainers and have obvious answers. You can't go wrong by stating things like 'The MAX/AC setting will give you better mileage as it recirculates already-cold air'. You could discover this by reading the owners manual, so it's not impressive information.

They do advise using a 50/50 coolant/water mix in your radiator, even in warm climates. Not necessarily correct. They over-state the benefits of anti-freeze (retards corrosion, mainly) and fail to note that a 30/70 coolant/water mix is usually quite sufficent to gain the anti-corrosion benefits of the anti-freeze and still get the improved cooling that only pure water can offer.

Like any website, Mustang World makes mistakes. That's O.K., but the fact that no one notices or correct them is kind of surprising. Another good reason to stick with Mustang Works Online. We're not perfect either, but if we get it wrong you'll let us know and if we make a factual mistake, we'll correct it. It's called: Integrity. A hallmark of Dan McClain and this website.
