    Coolant smell

    A common problem on the 4.0L V6 is a coolant leak from a cracked plastic thermostat housing. The cure is an aftermarket aluminium unit.

    Tick identification please

    Sounds like normal injector clicking to me too.

    Cams and timing

    That would do it though quick steel epoxy paste cures a lot faster. There's a decent amount of room to insert a T fitting for an oil pressure gauge but I'd prefer an electrical gauge that I can mount inside one of the air vents.

    Hanging idle in between shifts

    Your car's ECU will definitely have a tune. Since you have the earlier generation JLT CAI, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a BAMA tune. A new tune will almost certainly fix the rev hang and I suggest you try Lito or Brenspeed. BTW your car looks badass!

    Electrical issues with my 2006 mustang GT

    The 09-10 GT was fitted with the better quality, more reliable Japanese-made Denso alternator. That said, you might still be able to find a remanufactured Motorcraft 05-08 GT alternator from a Ford stealership. They're better quality and less failure prone than the originals that were fitted...

    STIFFLERS REAR CHASSIS BRACE (CONVERTIBLE) Questions?

    Definitely worth installing on a convertible since its chassis is structurally less rigid than that of a coupe. The Stiffler products ARE pricey but they're very high quality. If you're keeping your car long term, they're worth the expense. Otherwise go for the cheaper but less good quality OEM...

    Random High Engine Temp

    They all ran a 192* thermostat. Not the best idea but won't do any harm either. It won't fix an engine that's running hotter than normal though unless the old one is stuck partially closed. If the engine runs hotter as the vehicle speed and engine rpm) increases on the highway, the most likely...

    Random High Engine Temp

    The factory ECU settings for a 2005 Ford Mustang's cooling fan trigger on the following coolant temperatures: Low Speed On: 216°F Low Speed Off: 208°F High Speed On: 228°F High Speed Off: 224°F Thermostat opening: 192°F Therefore 208-216°F (98-102°C) is the desired engine operating range. In...

    Should I get a tune?

    Not if it's for your other half. ;)

    Should I get a tune?

    You can have as many Mustangs as you like Kev but your SCT tuner can only have a monogamous relationship with any one of them. ;) Therefore you could marry your SCT tuner to the first Mustang, tune it, divorce the SCT tuner from that one, marry it to the second Mustang, tune the second, divorce...

    Should I get a tune?

    Unless you have a Muslim or a Mormon SCT tuner, vehicle bigamy isn't allowed. ;) A used SCT tuner has to be divorced from one vehicle before it can be married to another.

    Should I get a tune?

    The stock tune only allows for a maximum WOT ignition advance of 26 degrees, which allows the engine to run on 87 octane. However this limits performance and blunts throttle response. A 91 or 93 octane tune increases maximum WOT ignition advance to 30 or 32 degrees respectively. Part throttle...

    Ford Racing Super Charger install

    Wow, youve written a whole essay without breaking it down into paragraphs! :lol: Firstly about the supercharger. Do you only have the head unit or do you have a complete kit? You didn't mention anything about the fuel system where you'll need a minimum of 47lb injectors and a Kenne Bell...

    Should I get a tune?

    Here's a more detailed answer Kev. As of May 2026, the standard gasoline in the EU is E10, which contains up to 10% renewable ethanol, following the European Commission's Fuel Quality Directive to reduce GHG emissions. Most petrol cars are compatible with E10, while E5 (5% ethanol) remains...
