    05 GT Rear Axle Whine

    Well, they did the "simple" TSB" to fix the rear end whine. Just a bit of the special gear oil - "friction enhancer". The whine seemed better for about 5 miles, now it's back! I will need to get it in for service again...

    05 GT Rear Axle Whine

    Is it possible that they shimmed it wrong when they did the rear axle TSB a couple of months ago??? Again, the whine seems to occur after the car has been driven a few miles - maybe after teh axle heats up???

    05 GT Rear Axle Whine

    The "moan" was the TSB fix that was on some of the early cars. It only occurred at low speeds while turning. In my car it only occurred when I made a right turn at a stop sign. Other than the moan, it caused a bit of "binding of the rear axle - my rear tires sounded like they where scrubbing...

    05 GT Rear Axle Whine

    No! It's making the gear or axle whine only when traveling at high speeds - 50-80 MPH. The slow speed axle "moaning" was fixed by Ford back in Janaury. What the heck is going on with this now??? I'd take the "moaning" at slow speeds back in a heartbeat if I could get rid of the high speed...

    05 GT Rear Axle Whine

    No, it is a high speed gear whine. Ford fixed the low speed rear axle "moan" back in January. Now the car make a higher pitched whine at highway speeds - 50-80 MPH - which is becoming unbearable!

    05 GT Rear Axle Whine

    I have an 05 GT which appears to be whining more from the rear axle lately. It came stock with 3.55s. Anyone had this problem? What's the cause? I didn't seem to notice this until the last couple of weeks. I have 17K miles on the car.:shrug:

    Head rests

    He was doing 100km per hour and that's all the damage to the car. That doesn't sound right. I would expect much more extensive damage.

    Just got back from dealer, running rough.

    I'm sure they reuse the gas that was in the old tank. That's why I only left 1 gallon in the tank when I brought it in for the tank swap!

    Pinging

    I changed to 89 octane (Exxon) about 6 months ago and the pinging is gone. No other problems either...

    07 GT's now have less performance

    Go for the 4.10s. That will provide 15% higher RPMs in all gears over 3.55s. That will be 24% higher RPM than your current 3.31s. I have a 5spd manual with 3.55s and I will be moving up to 4.10s.

    12.82@107 V6 4.0 w/8.5LBS of Boost

    I guess?? But really, for the extra $2500 for a GT he'd be even quicker - no doubt about it!

    12.82@107 V6 4.0 w/8.5LBS of Boost

    I am confused, and I don't mean any disrespect, but why all of this work on a V-6. Why didn't you start with the V-8?

    Soft Paint or Coincidence?

    I have noticed a higher than expected number of paint chips on my 05 which only has 12K miles. I am not happy with the paint.
