    2005 Gt Rear Differential Whine

    Thanks, Husky. I realized right away that I had made a mistake using the dealer. They did replace a number of bearing assemblies, but probably short-cutted the procedure as you suggested. Actually, the whine is really not that great (I am a perfectionist), and with 150k miles it may be that this...

    2005 Gt Rear Differential Whine

    I had a whine develop in my '05 GT (manual trans.) at about 150K miles. The dealer checked it and said the transmission and clutch were fine. They disassembled the rear and replaced the bearings, shims, races etc. and added xl-3. They said the ring and pinion were fine. That cured most of the...

    06 GT stalls during acceleration

    I had the fuel pump replaced under the TSB and I'm still getting some hesitation both with the TCS on and off with my 2005 so back to square one I guess.

    Another day, Another GREEDY dealership.

    GT500 Pricing Visited local dealer (Ted Britt Ford of Chantilly, Va.) yesterday; salesman said they have one coming in next month, but they will not sell it for one penny less than $18,000 over MSRP. Guess I'll have to wait....

    If you've had your fuel tank replaced, please read...

    Had mine replaced and still have issues at some stations. I've found that pumps at Chevron stations work fine for some reason. I'm not going to go through it a second time; I'll just make do. Don't know the part# of the replacement, but they swore it was the one specified in the TSB.

    Trouble filling new gas tank Thanks; that's what I did. Found a Chevron station not too far away and with tank already 1/2 full it filled up fast and even cut off when full as it should.

    Problem with new gas tank Thanks for the replies; yes I did search the forum and had read all the threads before I posted; I mainly was hoping a Ford tech would respond and he did (thanks Edbert). At first they said they had located a tank at a nearby dealer, but it was the wrong one so they...

    Problem filling up after new gas tank installed

    I took my '05 in to have the gas tank replaced under the TSB. The dealer filled the new tank 1/2 way and said it filled fine. When I got to my local station to fill it up completely, same thing as before: it cuts off unless you fill it very slowly. Turning the handle sideways or upside down no...

    Good car stereo shop in No. Va.?

    Does anyone know of a good, car stereo install shop in the Washington, D.C. area (preferably northern Virginia) that they would trust doing an install in a new '05 Mustang? I'm talking about replacing Shaker 500 head unit, stock speakers and adding amplifier(s) and subwoofer in trunk. The shop...

    shaker 500 keeps spitting out c/ds and tells me its bad,

    Happened twice with me so far (store-bought CDs); since it seems the replacement units are working ok they must have found the problem. Guess I'll get mine replaced too, then.

    GT pinging on 87 octain

    I'm do for my first fillup today and was going to use 87; is everyone else having no problem with 87? When I picked up my car last Saturday the salesman had filled it with premium (93) and didn't even know it would run on 87; I had to tell him! Just curious before I fill up this afternoon.
