Ok well I am looking to selling the old 5.0 and getting a 99+ 4.6 My question is what kind of problems are you guys getting from these cars and are there any recalls to watch out for. I need something more reliable since college and work dont allow me to work on the stang like I should. But I am not leaving the stang family anytime soon. I really dont hang in this section often (once every two months at most) so i have no idea what your guy's problems are(with the cars, not personal) so please dont flame. Thanks in advance.

 

are the mods in your sig the ones on the 5.0??? if so do you have a new intake manifold? and eather way any idea what your 1/4 is or hp?

 

No no intake manifold yet. Cant relaly tell you HP either maybe 200 to the wheel? I just added a 70mm tb also and I got 3.55 gears going in hopefully this weekend.

 

just wondering cuase i was thinking about geting some gt40 heads/intake nad a b303 cam

wanted ot know if its owrth it

 

?

 

I haven't had a single problem with mine at 55,000 miles.

I threw an 02 sensor DTC, but it turned out to be nothing so far.

 

There havent been any recalls on it or anything like that? I know the focus has had a few.

 

there is some crap about an intake manifold, but I know my year didn't have the problems. most of the issues with these cars were fixed in the 02-04 cars.

 

the intake problem was from 96-98 only i think. the 99 &up have aluminum bracing to help to prevent flexing and cracking... that was the only problem that i have had w/my 98 gt 74,000 miles on it. (other than needing more power) which has been addressed.

 

No problems (so far) with my 04. I hear alot about the TR3650 trans is a POS, but no problems as of yet.
Also something with creaking in the front end. (Bushings)
Other than that, I haven`t heard of any other major issues. If there are, someone please chime in because I would really like to know.
