so I have both a 1997 mustang gt and thunderbird lx with the 4.6L V8's. my mustang is still in MN where it is safe in my parents garage and I took my thunderbird with me when I moved south. I didn't want my mustang down here tell I have a safe place to park it. when I was driving my thunderbird down here it started leaking coolant really bad so when I stopped in chicago for the night I replace the intake manifold gasket, plugs, and wires. I didn't have any problems for about 10-15K miles but now its leaking again!!!

should I;

a. just try to replace the gasket again and see if that fixes it?

b. have my parents send my non-PI intake manifold down from my mustang? I did the PI mod and still kept the stock parts just in case.

 

anyone know about 4.6L intake leaks?

 

ask over on TCCOA.com

 

TCCOA.com is full of retards that are too stupid to understand the laws of physics. they get in their minds that their thunderbirds can compete with our mustangs. fact of the matter is anything they could do to their birds we can do to our mustangs leaving them in the dust. the mustangs are lighter, more compact size, have stronger frames, plus endless amounts of aftermarket part specifically for them (not that cross your fingers and hope it works crap they do on TCCOA). last time I went onto their site they started flaming me for using my bird as a DD and my mustang to race. attacking the fact that I like my mustang for speed and my thunderbird for luxury. they are my cars to do what I want so if you aren't going to help me don't reply! I have met lots of other thunderbird owners that have had the same problem with the site if they ever bring up big rims, sound systems, air ride (which is stock for the Mark 8), vertical doors, or any type of mod that isn't for performance of the car.

 

p.s. I ended up getting help from the other stang owners in the 4.6 forums sections since it is the same motor problem ALL the ford 4.6 owners face.

 

Sorry.

 

lol, I kinda sounded like an a$$ to you but I meant it to the TCCoA site and not you. they would respond with posts that had no relevance to post I would make, you where at least trying to be helpful. I have been getting a lot of help from the guys on baggedbirds.com for the luxury mods I want to do but they only know so much about performance mods.
