    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?

    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 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...

    Traction control not working.

    My 2005 GT has developed an issue it seems. When I bought the car as soon as the tires would slip it would kill the throttle very abruptly. Now it doesn't kick in at all. There are no dash lights indicating an issue. When I push the TCS button it lights up saying it is off but either way it...

    Water intrusion

    So when I got my 2005 in 2022 I found the floor on the passenger side to be damp. I cleaned out the cowl drains and remover the rubber snorkel from the bottom. I removed and sealed all the cowl clips. I also sealed the trim pieces that are above the windows. I thought that I had it sealed up...

    Help with diagnosing noisy shifting issues.

    Hopefully this is where I should post this. I am kind of at my witts end. My 2005 4.6 manual makes a loud metallic clank when shifting especially at low rpm shifts. Clutch works perfect, transmission upshifts and downshifts perfect. Clutch has been replaced with stock components and has about...

    2005 4.6 GT Ford Racing CAI

    I got an SCT X4 recently and running the canned 91 octane tune for a stock intake really did change the car. It runs smoother, pulls harder throughout the curve and even sounds different. Not being able to leave well enough alone I found a Ford Racing intake that is the same as the one that came...

    Warning beep under panic braking?

    Took the car for a quick cruise tonight. Came over a slight rise at about 40 and a deer ran across the road in front of me. Got on the brakes hard and didn't hit it thank you very much. But there was a single beep like the beep you get when the blinker is on too long. Less than a second in...

    Still haven't dealt with my pealing clearcoat on my 2005 Roush Red Fire

    I need to get my fender painted but I found this replacement fender painted and ready to bolt on for under $360.00 delivered. I don't think I could get mine painted for that. How hard is it to pull the drivers side fender? And what do you think about going this route...

    Complete Shaker 1000 system from 2007 Mustang. What's it worth?

    What is a fair price on the whole system? Head unit, amps, and speaker box. Also if installing this in a car with the Shaker 500 is a completely different wiring harness needed?

    Billet Roush Shift Knob.

    Does anyone know if this shift knob would thread onto a stock shifter? I really like my stock shift knob but I have a chance to get this. Not much on the net about it if people liked them or not. I think they are a little goofy looking and the ergonomics don't look great, but it does say Roush...

    Great price on a 2007 CA Special with under 27K Miles. Not mine or my style.

    Don't know how hard it would be to delete all the gaudy ad ons but a great price for an ultra low milage GT. Also I have never seen the stuff added to this car. I seem to remember my 67 fastback had that emblem in front of the quarter window but maybe not...

    Parking Brake Going Going Gone

    So a little history. When I got my 2005 Roush the parking brake did work however not that great. When doing the suspension rebuild I did see that the rubber boots on both of the parking brake rear cables were Fubar. I used a bicycle inner tube to replace them and thought that would be the end of...

    75w-140 or 85w-140 hot climate

    I took my car to a hot rod shop today and got a recommendation for rear diff oil. They said because where we live (it's going to be 104 here tomorrow) a thicker oil will quiet down the gear lash being amplified with an aluminum drive shaft. They recommended any 85w-140 and a bottle of the Ford...

    Whipple S/C installed on a 2008 Shelby GT and CA smog.

    Looking at a 2008 Shelby GT that has had a Whipple since 9000 miles on it. Owner is getting it smog checked today and taking the cert to DMV to get it taken off non opp. He says that it has never failed a smog test and he has owned it in CA since it had 3000 miles on it. It has 96,000 on it now...

    Switching Tuners From Diablo to SCT Best place to buy an SCT

    I'm in CA. I want to get an SCT tuner so I can get a tune from Lito on my 2005 4.6. He does not offer tunes for my Diablosport. Who has the best price on these and are there different models? Thinking of getting the Roush CAI as it has a reducer so I can run the stock tune for smog checks. But...

    Designed to be this way or? 2005 GT

New Toyo Proxes sport A/S 275 width on 18x10 inch rims square. Had it aligned these are the numbers. Everything is in the green and the car...

    Lito tune vs Diablo Sport canned tunes.

    My 2005 4.6 only mod from stock are the Roush mufflers which might flow slightly better than the stockers. I have a Diablosport Intune II and I was impressed with the 87 octane tune over stock but the 91 octane tune made the car seem confused. I emailed Lito last night and to my surprise I got a...

    Trim?

    This is the edge of my dash on my 2005 where the over the window trim intersects. Am I missing a piece? Has the dash shrunk?

    Cost of Paint

    So before I bought my Roush which is Redfire Metallic it had had the left driver's front fender painted from a parking lot incident. Now that fenders clear coat is failing. The rest of the car is fine although 20 years old and there are some dents and dings that you don't notice unless your...

    Thinking of upgrading from 05 to 13 should I do it?

    Thinking of trading off my 2005 Roush stage 1 for a 2013 GT. My Roush has just been gone through with all new suspension parts (GT500) and a 1 piece driveline. Runs perfect. The 2013 has under 18K on it. Car has never been in an accident and is like new. It has the 401A package as well as Nav...

    What is this clank?

    My 2005 Roush stage 1 has 153,000 on the clock. The engine (full long block) was replaced at around 115,000. The clutch was replaced at the same time. I have completely rebuilt the suspension front and rear. Also installed a Ford performance 1 piece aluminum drive line. The suspension and drive...

    Diablo Intune 87 Octane Tune Vs 91 Octane Tune

    So just wanted to put this out there for anyone searching this info. I got an Intune tuner from Diablo for my 2005 GT. I at first ran the canned 87 octane tune because that's what was in my tank. Noticeable difference over stock was much livelier throttle in the lower to midrange rpms and a...

    Best Tuner for Running 91 Octane.

    So I am going to get a tuner for my 2005 4.6 with Roush mufflers. Keeping everything stock. Not going to do any engine mods. Just a tune to take advantage of 91 octane and maximize throttle response. Is it really going to cost $400.00 plus for this? I saw this article stating better throttle...
