    Help identifying this radiator.

    So it is not a simple switch to a 2005 with the old style thermostat housing?

    Should I get a tune?

    A tune wakes up a completely stock 4.6 GT. Seems like the mods you have would really respond to one. I do have to run 91 instead of 87 octane but the increase I got in MPG with the tune almost negates the price difference.

    Help identifying this radiator.

    Searched the ar3z-8005-a and it comes up 2007 to 2014 5.4 to 5.8 so it does seem to be a gt500 radiator. But it says it won't fit my 2005. Is that because of the coolant crossover setup?

    Help identifying this radiator.

    Radiator popped up in my FB feed. Kind of a big part to store but it is only 100. I searched the part number but it returns ar3z instead of ar3v. Is this a GT500 radiator and would it fit a 2005 4.6?

    2005 Mustang GT Transmission Mount.

    So I ended up going for the Pioneer mount. I layed under there and there was no way that crossmember was coming off with those exhaust hangers there. Finally just said f it and cut them off. Once those were gone the mount comes right off. Of course the original mount was fine. But that extra...

    odd spark plug stuck in head?

    Was there any fitment issues when attaching your old coils to the new style head?

    Wow it's still leaking (seam sealer?) Edit: body harness grommet

    I just cleaned the area super good and the used a sealer that wasn't silicone but it was like silicone. I don't know why this would not work 100% of the time. Those gaskets will fail at some point if you get them to seal at all.

    odd spark plug stuck in head?

    Is there a number or marking that is visible on the heads that distinguishes them from the old style to the newer style plugs? My 2005 got a new long block from the dealership in 2012 and I would like to know if I got the newer style heads. I know I still have the older coils but there are no...

    2005 Mustang GT Transmission Mount.

    My car has been having a clank when shifting since I got it. It is a manual. Weird thing is sometimes it shifts perfect. I found the center bolt on the trans mount somewhat loose and after tightening it the shifts were quiet for about a week. But then rhe clank returned. I am thinking the mount...

    Where do you get your plugs?

    So I had a trans mount in my cart from Rockauto and decided I would finally order some plugs for my 2004 5.4 F150. 118K on the stock plugs. They had 2 Motorcraft numbers SP546 and SP546X. Was doing some research and found them to be the same plug and only different in the way ford sells them to...

    2005 Mustang GT Transmission Mount.

    I looked but could not find it. I have narrowed it down to the Anchor and the Pioneer. The Pioneer seems to mimic the oem part while the Anchor is indeed stiffer like Glasstop09 stated.

    2005 Mustang GT Transmission Mount.

    I am going to replace the transmission mount on my 2005 GT. I see there are a bunch of aftermarket ones and OEM seems to be discontinued. DEA, API, Anchor are a few I saw. Would like to get one that is considered good by those who know. My car has 155K on the original and even if it hasn't...
