When I think of ThatDudeinBlue as a youtube channel I mostly think about this car and what it has done for me. A long journey from my first real car review all the way to a 700HP supercharged monster. The Smurrf Mustang accident was incredibly stressful but thankfully after paint and body the car is now back in my possession.So after all the years of driving, modifying, and boosting...has it been worth keeping around? Let's talk about it.
Some of the upgrades:
RTR axle back exhaust
Stainless works long tube headers
VMP Gen 3 supercharger
Eibach pro kit springs
Pretty much the rest of the car is cosmetic!

What’s the highest milage car you’ve ever owned?
92 jeep cherokee, a little over 200k
ThatDudeinBlue 100,000 k.. my current Celica st204
1992 Honda Accord CB7. Close to 400k miles.
My 2007 Honda Civic LX aka "Dash." She was close to 236K thousand miles before it got totalled. One of these days, I'll send pics and videos to David and let him judge it.
Ford Festiva, 280k miles
In a world where every auto youtuber swaps out their cars every 5-6 months, Its refreshing to see someone keep one around for 7-8 years and watch it progress throughout the years
qwerty6801 most youtubers are sell outs.i hope he doesn’t do the same
Most of the youtubers I watch have one vehicle that they will never sell and maybe two others that are their dailys but other Than that they bye a car to giveaway after they modify it
*cough* rp productions *cough cough*
@@Milkman69ner thats why I stopped watching TJ, Dustin, and Salomondrin
@@Milkman69ner I can tell he isnt and wont, seeing how he moved to GA instead of CA (where most car youtubers seem to go) I respect him a lot for staying east coast.
Fun fact my vette has approximately 95k miles on it. I doubt I'll ever catch up to you!
Because you don't drive it
Yooooooooo
My vette has been over 110k since 2005
@@92camarodragcar73 did roughly 85k miles in the first 6 years. Only 10k miles since
superspeedersRob would you ever sell it?
I’m so glad that smurf is back on the road again
Your profile pic is my lock screen...
I like memes and cars our lock screens are the same lol
With the AC, see if the compressor is turning when you have it switched on. If it does turn on and you are confident the right amount of refrigerant is in it, it will probably be expensive. Hopefully it's just a relay or pressure switch. It's hard to diagnose without seeing the high and low pressures or using a multimeter.
Blend door maybe?
yeah, with the AC running, check the lines under the hood where they go into the firewall. One should be cold. If it's not cold, then you check the compressor, sensors/switches to make sure it's even getting signal to engage. If the one is cold, then it's probably the blend door.
I was thinking the compressor
Had quite a few Ford's come through my shop with a blocked orifice tube this year around 100k miles. Other cars too not just Ford's but they are very common in my area of Pa.
Just had the temp control replaced on the dash 12 fusion.
Finally obtained my first Mustang this past March. 13 Mustang Gt....I'm 48 now and have loved, and wanted one, the Mustang since around 10 years old. Purchased it with 38.4 K miles, completely stock, and have been busy ever since kinda making it my own. First thing I ordered the night I got it home was a red Ford Racing shift knob/ball. Other things have been.....cleaning up and repainting calipers and rotors, upgrading struts and shocks, rear springs, panhard bar, CAI, and most recent...Stainless Works LT's/X-pipe and Ford Performance Sport mufflers. Have done all the work myself and am loving life and this car.
2014 was the cutoff year for model when I started looking and I couldn't be happier with my 13. It is an absolute joy to drive 😁.
Love your videos and long live Smurff, glad it's back on the road.
Here before David changes the title from 100,0000 to 100,000

So many miles and even more smiles! Glad to see the Smurf back David!
E lmao
For your A/C, make sure your compressor is turning on, and go from there.
18 year old here with a 60k mile 2005 fbo mustang gt. Love finally being a part of the car scene officially
"Smurf has always been the car to not let me down" I just knocked on my wood desk several times for you man
Y'all white people funny asf
@@Daniel-vb4tj im black and i knocked on my wood desk... you never say a car is reliable because you're actually asking for it lol
Glad to see you're still sticking with yours, I decided to give mine up. I do miss her at times. Your videos helped me so much with modifying it, excited to see the future of smurf!
koni sport dampers will help the suspension and handling. I had them on my 2012 and it handled like a beast.
I love your channel! How many miles or km on your mustang gt?
@@prithvimann1539 Lol my channel is weak for now , but I have 12750 on my 2018, I had 49k on my prior mustang when I sold it after I broke the mt82, had 90k on the 09 cts-v when I totaled it into a pole.
A. Wheeler oh cool
If it still makes you smile and feel good the way it does in this video, i could say, it's 100% worth keeping it!
Just started my mustang journey with my very own s550 and loving it hopefully will have the same mileage someday. Happy you've enjoyed yours for years.
Been watching you since you first picked this car up, David. I remember meeting you at the Cato meet in Richmond before you moved to GA and talking to you at Springfest and Mustang Week this past year. It's awesome seeing how far you've gone and goes to show what perseverance can do. You're definitely one of my favorite automotive youtubers out there. Keep up the great work and making the VA crowd proud!
I love that your choice of car is a mustang when everyone else decided to go with super cars for their channels.
David had this car forever. When he was younger and didnt have money.
Roy Brown he literally said he can’t afford a GT500
He bought the car when he had only a few hundred subscribers, it was the 3rd video he ever did, it's the reason I subscribed in the first place
@@purifiedbleach1196 with 1 million subscribers and over 100k views per video.... No one believes that...
If the blinker is flashing more quickly than before, try replacing the turn signal relay.
Really glad to see Smurrf back. As I’m watching this video, and listening to you describe your car, I’m very impressed that you have kept this car for so long. It’s also impressive to hear you say you still love your car. 90% percent of the car CZcamsrs that I follow have gotten rid of the car they had when I started watching their channel. I may be a little biased, but I really love owning my 2012 GT as well. I’ve only owned it for a year but I’ve dropped quite a bit of money into modifying it. Nothing too expensive (except the long tube install). My mods were very simple but makes the car really fun to drive. Barton short throw and changing to 3.73 gears, combined with the sounds of my catless Pypes long tubes and x-pipe (with res and muffler deletes), make this car really fun to drive...for now. Continued success with the channel. Thank you for your channel. Holla.
I have a 13 grabber blue manual 3.7 with 240k miles. Mild bolt on. Intake, tune, gears. Bought it brand new in July of 2012. Loved every mile and still do. Happy to see Smurf back on the road. Love the content. Keep it up.
I have a 2012 mustang 5.0 with 170,000 miles still runs great no issues at all
Smurff is paid off right? That's probably the best feeling of having a car for so long.
This car is how I found your channel. It's good to see a tastefully done Stang. Especially by CZcamsr standards of r35s and golfs or Vettes pending country.
It's so cool seeing how powerful it is but way more reliable than most other project cars
Glad to see you and Smurf reunited. Just seeing you so happy to have Smurf back puts a smile on my face. Enjoy.
I'm glad the Mustang is back 👏👏👏👏👏
My 2013 Mustang GT with 63k miles still running strong with no problems till this day..Great car!
Cali Guy My 2003 mustang GT has 126k miles. Runs great. Only needs new tie rods. :)
@@angelgjr1999 Nicccccce!!
Cali Guy Thank you. I love all Mustangs. I think 2013-2014 look the best.
@@angelgjr1999 I agree! 2013-2014 Mustangs are the best looking! But i also like all mustangs as well.
@Paul Racine Very true! But i'm certain it will be fine when the mileage gets much higher..This cars are built pretty good!
I would love to see this car evolving eternally. All the other channels jump from project to project, and although you've got other projects, it's nice to see you actually care for this car. You can still do a lot to it. Better suspension, brakes, seats, etc!
I had a similar air conditioning problem for my 2013 GT. It blew out air but not cold air. It turned out to be my air compressor not wanting to stay connected. Instead of getting a brand new air compressor my shop hard wired the connection and it fixed the A/C problem.
based richard Same on my 2014 GT, Literally just commented but Then I seen this!
Probably a bad clutch on your condenser. Common problem on the mustang, happened to me.
*compressor
@@CrowdControl123 lol yeah thats what I meant my bad.
For the AC?
How much did it cost to replace? My compressor clutch went out too.
@@FrezzyYT Yes there is a clutch in the pulley that runs the compressor. The material gets worn out over time especially when hard driving.
This video gives me hope. My 2017 has 9k on it and I plan to keep it around as long as I can. Glad to see that it is holding up and the interior doesn't rattle like a C5 vette.
Don't get rid of it. Give it the appreciation it desserves for blowing up your channel to where you are today. Widebody kit, and put her in a great storage spot and don't ever let it touch rain
152k on my 2002 Acura Rsx.
With all the issues I've had with it, its never broken down. I'm keeping it forever.
I had a 225k RSX. I would drive it 300 miles at a time and I do see it going a LOT more if treated with some care... I did not and sold it. :)
I've only put 5k miles on mine in the last 5 years. It's a toy car that's been set up for hpde. It basically rarely hits the road anymore.
@@mschaidle1134 how do you even drive a car 1k miles in a year lmfao
@@DigitalKi11er911 it sits in my garage most of the year. I drive it to car meets and things like that and to a time attack once a year, but other than that its mostly in storage. Just don't have time for it anymore.
If it's not holding the pressure. You have a leak somewhere in the system
I have a 14 GT. Absolutely love it. I did have the same purge valve problem for a little but fixed it. I installed a boss302 intake manifold with a couple friends and we were surprised that they didnt include a longer purge valve in the installation kit! So we had to run wires all the way around the manifold and it works well now, but what a pain that was!
Love my baby though. Learned manual on it and really got me started in the car community.
When I started watching your vids I drove a 1993 B swapped Civic Hatchback.. now I drive a 2016 GT Mustang 6 speed... I feel like your channel really ended up motivating me to chase my dreams and find my own smurf.
Did you try replacing relay of your climate control? It's in the fuse box inside engine bay.
He said it's blowing air just not cold air..
Bad fuse or relay it wouldn't blow at all .. It would be completely dead.. Its either his compressor , his blend door , or he's got a cracked a/c line somewhere and all the refrigerant leeked out..
Blend door actuator!!! Is why you're not gettin cold air
Ya i tried all of the stuff and David i gotta stay it's amazing and didn't think it was gonna be that good. You got a customer for life!!
happy for you David!!!
i drive a 08 gt convertible and i love it. its bone stock with the exception of the cervini ram air hood. it has never let me down. it has 82000 miles and best of all it has NEVER taken out a crowd....lol
3v the worst body ew sorry man
personal preference. i love them all from april 17 1964 to 2020. @@DigitalKi11er911

@@losttiming5873 thank you for the complement. i really appreciate it. thats a good looking camaro you got there.
@@Gearhead1967 thanks man I'll be putting a cam in mine soon. Too bad it's not the ls
Damn mine went out on my 13. But mine was just refrigerant. Check all fuses and possibly compressor gave up
Totally priceless! Glad to see Smurf back on the road! I have had cars and wrecked cars, it happens. That is your channel car, And so awesome to see it back on the road!!!!!! Red white and blue oval🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅
I bought my 14 premium 5.0 in April (after following you for about 3 years) within 4 months I’ve put an intake, full exhaust, new wheels, and some odds and end exterior mods. I love this car more and more everyday and still get chills knowing it’s mine. Just keep praying the MT-82 doesn’t blow up on me lol
Check your ac compressor relay assuming the compressor isnt running. I doubt theres a refrigerant leak being a newer car
You could never get rid of Smurf David Smurf made the channel.
Just bought a 2012 5.0 with the MT82 and I'm loving it. I'm also really surprised how well the car has held up considering that it had 113k on it when i bought it. 2 weeks later I put 3000 miles on it and I can't stop driving it. I'm not surprised that you've held on to the car so long and now I can definitely see why. Love the content bud, I hope Smurf stays with you for many more years!
I have a 2006 S2000 approaching 180,000 miles and it is still going strong. No major mechanical issues (knock on wood) so far. I don’t get into it everywhere I go but when I do she still has it.
WoW, a mustang with 1.1 million Miles ( according to the title
Check your compressor?
Ps 1988 porsche 944 130,000 ish miles still scootin
glad you showed me your car cleaning products
Bro, I'm glad you have kept you car all this time and still have the love you have for it.. My dads Grabber Blue got repod a month after he passed away from Cancer. He barely even got to drive it at all. I planned to keep it through the probate process but they screwed me out of it by report. I was SO upset that Sunday morning when the wrecker showed up at my house. I was going to make it a rolling memorial to my dad who was an officer for 40 years. His had the black stripe up the middle and was only a V6, but a swap would have come or at least a twin turbskies setup. I enjoyed it for about a month while I had it. Appreciated all the complimentsi would get everywhere I went in it. I will replace it one day again and have my own loving journey with it, too.

Its more than likely the ac compressor ive had to change mine twice in my 2013
How much to replace? I hardly ever use my ac but just in case it happens to my 2014 🤔
@@MrChow408 cost me 1100 to have a shop do it was $1700 from Ford.
@@MrChow408 And about $400 and a fuckton of work to do it yourself. We have done it on two cars and it is not fun
I have a 2014 GT Premium and have learned that gremlins of modifying a car recently...
I tried a full suspension upgrade (lower control arms, sway bars, shocks and struts, lowering springs (1.5in lower) caster camber plates, and pan hard bar) and it's been 5 weeks and in still ironing out kinks. Aftermarket caster camber plates were defective and so were the STR Koni struts. Fron Sway bar end links go out fast when using a stiffer suspension so had to change those as well. Now the front sway bar stock bushing I used are squeaking.
But as you said us car guys make good things worse...but we love it. Love your videos and the smurff. Glad you got it bad.
hey david!! two things, first i met you at import alliance and you’re the nicest human on the planet, and second, try your ac compressor fuse/relay, my brothers 350z had ac that didn’t work, he replaced the compressor, had the car charged, but when he did the relay, it started working again! hope i helped!
A) Your AC Radiator is broken
B) There's a leak somewhere
Most likely it is a leak. It is very common once the care has 5+ years of use. Constant heat-cold temperature cycles can turn the AC lines into really cracked faulty components.
@@bountzee Yep. Had the same problem on my daily.
Stefan Winter I’ve had the same problem but you’ve gotta be a special kinda dumb if you don’t smell or see it leaking out.
Damn first time I've seen a video of his with under 1000 views lmao
Loved it, and loved meeting you and alejandra at Gridlife
Your relationship with blue makes my heart happy
Nice to see you still have the Smurf! If you upgrade go with the GT350 😎
You take a great care of your car give yourself some credit.
You think you can put a gt350 transmission on it, or a tremec trans in general.
They have Tremacs in them stock
Aidan Barrett no
Proud of you and the Smurf. Keep that car for years, it gets even better!! Trust me. I've had only 6 Mustangs in 54 years..... Two of them now. The Old man in Texas
Upgrades bruh. Love the channel and it would be good to see some great upgrades for smurff .
Keep it and keep building it.
TR6060 swap. Built engine. TWIN TURBO
I'd be okay if you sold it honestly, I'm in the same position with one of my cars. I bought it new in 2012, built it up and have driven it in its current state for the past 3 years. I'm out of things to do to it without going full race car and part of the fun of the car hobby is actually being able to do stuff to your cars.
Just don't get a super car or some other $100k+ car like every other idiot in the CZcams car world. Most of your viewers like the Mustang because they can relate to it and its attainable for the average Joe.
Glad it’s back David .my 1986 corolla twin cam has 500 thousand kilometres and still haven’t even open the engine or had two change the clutch.and yes it’s old and noisy but it’s mine and I don’t care what others think about it.i bought it while I was doing up my 1974 xb falcon gt sadly stolen a week after completion.but at least I still have the corolla
if its leaking out of the ac check the fittings on the lines. if the compressor isnt coming on check your high and low pressure switches. you can jump the switch with a paper clip and see if it kicks on the compressor. with ac on see if there is power at the compressor itself, might have just gone bad. glad to see you got the car back!
I wish I had the opportunity to just meet you once
My 2002 Mustang GT has only 108k. Damn you drive alot.
That's super low miles for a 2002! Rock on!! 🤙🏼
Glad to see Smurf bro!! 👏👏👏💯
Great video review of Smurf, Dave. In my opinion, I think you finish the repairs and auction it off. Then you upgrade to a new Blue (what else) Mustang GT350. It always awesome to start a new journey with your sponsors and new RTR add ons.
i love the blue car but i would love a gt500 even more.. those cars are fucking amazing
Damn, you've had your mustang for 7 years and only has 110k miles.. ive had mine for a year and a half and it already has 70k🤦🏽♂️
Might wanna invest in a beater and drive the stang less chief
Im talkin about my daily, my 2015 F150, but my Mustang is old and has 200k miles, ive only put 12k on that one
My 2013 5.0 has 3,076 miles. Still has that new car smell. Only mod so far is a Hurst shifter.
@@rrracewalker duuuuuude i want that car so baaaddd... i told myself im buying it next year😂
Thom Holloway homie drive your car. Doing yourself no good letting it sit
I love my 2013 !! I have 90k on mine! Had to replace the clutch at 85,000 and did the McLEOD Twin Disc setup too. Love it and will NEVER SELL IT!!
I'm sitting at 101k with mine and I don't plan on stopping. Love this car!
Time for a motor refresh??? 110k miles...id do a motor refresh. It will pay off in the long run. Maybe do rods and pistons 🤔.. more boost = 900whp
I'd personally prefer around 600whp it gets to a point we're yeah you can have alot of fun but it's just not as enjoyable to daily drive
How many hours of v8 have your heard in your life David 😂😱
Just with his car alone, if he has averaged 35mph in it the whole time he has owned it, then just shy of 3200 hours of hearing a V8 rumble.
Plus the 2v mustang
I’ve got a Paxton 2014, making 638rwhp. Clutch is going out but beyond that, not a single problem!
Smurf! How goes it!? Good to see you back, my blue 5.0 hasn’t let me down yet, but she’s only got 60k miles. It’s not my daily so she only goes out for fun.
3rd hour of this video being released and it still says '110,0000' miles.
I have the same problem with my ac keep in my 2012 gt not blowing cold air and was at the body shop from an accident at the same time as smurf lucky wasn't totaled aswell. Keep us updated on the ac lol...always great videos from the blue dude
I see you go to a valvoline instant oil change! I work for one up here in pa! Hope you like the service from the company, glad to see a nice car with work going to the company! ( little window sticker always gives it away!) Glad smurf is going strong!
If your floating then the shocks are done. Been there and done that with the same springs and shock set up. Switched to steeda shocks and it now feels closer to my M3
I own one too, and have been through a lot with it (AKA the Jetstang) . The Gen. 1 Coyotes are the best sounding (intoxicating) and most reliable Mustangs you can get. I've always originally wanted a foxbody 5.0, but after seeing smurff over time on your channel, I grew to love the 13-14 GT. A year ago knew I had to have one for that full send Coyote 5.0.
You need to take Patterson car care worldwide. I’m from the UK and I’d support your brand.
I've had my CTS- V wagon (manual) since 2012 also, and I have 118,000 on it so I've driven it about as much as you've driven Smurf. I'm also on stock magneride shocks and Eibach pro kits springs, haha. For me, deciding to keep it or sell it comes down to how much I still enjoy driving it vs how much it's costing to maintain it. It's been really solid and hasn't cost me much in terms of general wear and tear. I've had to replace the shocks once, I'm replacing the original clutch soon. Had to replace one window regulator.
For me I haven't reached that tipping point yet. I think that means, for me, I'm going to keep it until it starts really falling apart. Or unless some other external factor forces me to sell, but so far so good. It's been really solid, and I still really enjoy driving it. For now, it's still completely reliable and a joy to drive; I feel like I'm going to keep it until that changes drastically.
My 2012 Boss with 40000 miles had a clicking sound at start up when I turned it on and hot air blew out, Ford said it was one of the actuators ( 3 total under the dash board). They fixed it. Then at around 48000 miles the ac compressor clutch went out (the rubber wore out). Replaced and had the ac pro charge put in and has been working ( now have 760000 miles) . Great review
hi David. nice vid. liked b4 watching b/c I knew it was going to be good
Welcome back, Smurf! Good to have you back on the Road! 👍
But David can you please put those stock fog lights back on and not changing the front end no more? The RTR lights just look terrible in my opinion. Greetings from Germany!
When I had problems with my A/C back in the day, I went to a few places and they fixed some leaks but still no cold air. What finally worked was going to an auto electric place and they changed the expansion valve which seems to be accessed from the dash, and it fixed the A/C.
Check to make sure the AC compressor clutch kicks in when you press the AC button
I bought a 2019 GT back in March and have 4700 miles on it so far... I will no doubt be pushing well into the 100k range because I absolutely love it. I traded in a 2007 GT that I had for almost 3 years, which was a ton of fun and had a super loud exhaust on it like Smurf did, but it's pretty crazy how much better these new cars are. My new one is going to be my baby for years to come and I can't wait to live with it for a long long time.
You’ve definitely inspired me to get into youtubing about cars, man. Your videos get automatic likes from me
Every journey has a begining and an end. Dont be afraid of starting a new one bud. We'll be here.
112K on my 2014 bolt on GT. The clutch just went out 2 days ago on the MT-82. Other than that, I love her. Great video. 🤝🏾🤙🏾
“Because we’re car people and we screw up things that were just fine”
I felt this. Put an 18 mani on my car this past Sunday. Been chasing issues since. Going to reinstall the manifold this Sunday Incase the gasket isn’t seating right. 😭
Yeah it’s worth keeping. I have a 1987 Monte Carlo LS who’s miles have turned over already and still going strong.
Had my 5.0 for a year and a half now and I have no complaints. Not to mention these engines love boost.
i have a 14' GT with 95k miles. Love it to death. drive it year round. its has headers high flow cats borla ataks and cobrajet manifold. Love the revs. Just bought a gt350r this month. Its night and day the difference but i still love my 14'. Gonna drive it through the winter like i have for the past few years. i wanna hit at least 250k on it before i retire it as my daily/winter car.
I'd love to see you keep smurf as long as possible and possibly just update it over time, maybe BC coils (leave same ride height) but get rid of the stock struts. Maybe build up the rear end to keep it mechanically sound and be able to launch from a dig with some upgraded axels and diff. I'm always going to be a fan of the channel and your future projects but would be nice to see smurf always in your hands and like I said slowly fix and upgrade some of the weaknesses. Keep up the great content David! Also as a detailer for 10 years you're products are fantastic👊
