    My Engine is Out of My Car...All of the threads

    Let me say this....it is my understanding that the dealer in this situation is at the mercy of Ford. Larry Hill is providing me with up to date information, a rental, and if nothing else sympathy for the situation. To bring any legal slander into the situation is a mute point at this time...

    My Engine is Out of My Car...All of the threads

    I kid you not...the engine never went over 4k for the first 500 to 600 miles. I did not hot rod the car. I plan / planned on keeping it forever. I would not try to beat it up while it is still being broken in. That would be stupid on my part. I have to think that Ford thinks I was jamming...

    Got the title on the car last Tuesday. I don't have anything over Ford Credit...as far as the response from Ford; The district rep called my home phone number today about 2 pm. I was not home and he got my answering machine only to say: 1. We review your problem. 2. Ford will repair your car...

    Newbie and GT Grille Questions

    I was at the dealer about the problem with mine today and the service manager had a V6 in the shop trying to fit it with the GT grill. He found out exactly what has been said here. The GT grill will not fit in a V6 Mustang. The mounting is quite different. Hope that helps for those of you...

    The dealer has been good on this... they are paying for the rental. Ford of course. It is an 05 Explorer. Yes, it is my daily driver. It just sucks that Ford will not give any on this. Why should a customer have to wait for a repair just because Ford does not know why my engine died...

    My Engine is Out of My Car...All of the threads

    The computer reported that the timing between the crank and the right bank of cylinders was incorrect. That is bad because it indicates a mechanical malfunction; ie. bad timing chain, sprocket, etc. The car would barely run at all. It failed compression tests on two of the four cylinders on...

    My 05 GT Engine is out of the car! This is an update on what a GT looks like on a roll back wrecker. The car has been at the dealer for 7 out of the 16 days I have owned it, and from the picture...well you can see the state of my engine. Ford said they will not replace the car flat out...

    Thanks for the input...I am looking for options. I have never been in this situation and need all options to think about prior to tomorrow. Extended warranty would definately be required if they tear into the motor. Thanks again.

    05 GT Engine Skipped Time? (Wrecker Update) Had my 05 GT towed to the shop late last Friday. (Less than two weeks of ownership and less than 900 miles.) Today the dealer service manager called and the computer is telling them that the left bank of cylinders are out of time and two cylinders...

    The latest from the dealer is one of the cylinders is not firing. They don't have full service shop on Saturday. Guess Monday will be as soon as they get to it. One a good note; Larry Hill Ford did put me up in a new Explorer from the local car rental Enterprise. And no, I was not a...

    Aftermarket for 2005 V6

    Check out the Sport Trac website for aftermarket parts. I think the Sport Trac has the same 4.0 L engine. This website has some of the best articles, people, and discussions. I traded an 03 Adrenalin edition Sport Trac for my 05 GT. It had an Apten performance chip and a Mac Intake. It ran...

    My Engine is Out of My Car...All of the threads

    Do you know what an 05 GT looks like on a roll back wrecker? I was driving home from work today and the new GT with about 800 miles decided it wanted to go back to the mother ship. Had to have her towed to the dealer. The engine was running extremely rough and had zero power. I took some...

    05 Intake Cover Missing?

    Has anyone seen the silver 05GT intake cover pictures out on the web? Anyone who owns an 05 got one like that? The black plastic intake looks bad for the top end on a great motor! I would buy one in a minute! Any info would be great. Thanks.
