    what is this connector in the trunk for?

    Might be the connector for the Shaker 1000 amps and subs that would mount on the passenger side. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

    Moving/flushing radiator

    You can use CLR... Or the Motorcraft Flush... But I'd use the flush in the whole system to remove deposits from the coolant passages and from around the cylinders...

    What's the DEAL ?

    Do you have something on the passenger side seat that weighs a few pounds? Or do you have aftermarket seats? I think there's a pressure sensor in the seat (OCS sensor - Occupant Classification Sensor) and it will disable the airbag for small humans that are sitting there... Like if a kid that...

    Please help diagnose engine noise - S/C Roush 4.6L 3V

    The only thing I'll add about just using the TDC method without air is that during the re-assembly process the valve needs to be all the way up to get the keepers in place. If they are dropped down even a little bit (resting on the piston at TDC) you'll have a hell of a time getting those...

    Is this real

    Real... https://www.motortrend.com/features/1605-the-saga-of-1965-mustang-wagon/ The early Mustang was largely based off the Ford Falcon anyway, and the Mustang wagon looks a lot like the Ford Falcon "wagon" (rear windows) or "Sedan Delivery" (no windows). Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

    Please help diagnose engine noise - S/C Roush 4.6L 3V

    +1.... Search on YouTube for FordTechMakuloco and then within his page search for something like Ford 3V timing chain replacement, or Ford 3V cam replacement... Etc. All I can tell you from personal experience is that changing out the valve springs is easiest with the heads off (unless you have...

    Please help diagnose engine noise - S/C Roush 4.6L 3V

    Two things... You should use the cast iron "Cobra" (2003-2004) tensioners, and you should look at getting the "Cobra Engineering (brand)" billet guide dowel pins. If you do valve springs... I recommend PAC 1233. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

    Weight reduction, i'm running out of options

    You'll need one of these https://www.harborfreight.com/1000-lb-capacity-engine-support-bar-96524.html to support the engine while you drop the K-member... But it's pretty straight forward otherwise. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

    AC Compressor Dead?

    I also like to use this O-ring lube... Makes assembly very smooth, helps with sealing, and makes me feel better that the O-ring isn't twisting / rolling when pushing the connections together...

    AC Compressor Dead?

    For your pulley / clutch reassembly I think the airgap is supposed to be .015 (from memory) ... You may have to buy the Motorcraft spacer kit with the little washers that are different thicknesses. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

    AC Compressor Dead?

    I would replace the compressor assembly and not mess with piecing it together. It if you want to just try replacing the pulley... Just buy the new Motorcraft pulley with the bearing pre-installed. They also sell the pulley and clutch plate combo. Messing around with removing the bearing is a...

    AC Compressor Dead?

    In the OP's 2006 Mustang... #3 in the diagram is where the orifice tube is located. You have to disconnect the coupling, item #2. Motorcraft Part # YG343 Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

    AC Compressor Dead?

    Yes you can replace the compressor yourself... The only hard part is discharging the system. If you don't have the machine to discharge it and collect the old refrigerant, then it will spray stuff everywhere and I think it's some kind of environmental violation to release that refrigerant to...

    AC Compressor Dead?

    Can't really tell from a picture. You'll probably have to take it to a shop to have a vacuum put on the system to see if it holds (no bad seals) . Once the system is discharged they can also pull out the orifice tube to see if it is all clogged with metal shavings from your compressor. Sent...

    2009 Mustang Rear Grinding Noise

    Sounds like a clutch throw out bearing if the noise goes away when you push in the clutch. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
