Follow up: Only one side, the passenger side head was authorized by Ford to be repaired so only one side had the head resurfaced and rebuilt, not both sides........ Car is supposed to be ready today or Friday. I am still going to Lemon Law the car..... no more Fords for me.

First off, many thanks to all that responded. DO appreciate all of the comments. The dealer has received the new top end rebuilt kit including the new valves, springs, lifters, and cam. The head or heads, will be sent out for resurfacing. Still don't know if they are only doing the passenger...

Update: The Service Advisor called to say he mis-spoke about what was included in the factory kit. There are no new pistons included but there are the new valves, springs, lifters, and yes the heads still have to be resurfaced. What he really ment to say instead of pistons was that a new cam...

only 5800 miles on it. If you look at the "TSB" thread below, you will see that several of us are experiencing a loud noise from the passenger side engine head. This is NOT the semi-loud noise the TSB in question refers to. This is a noise that lets you know something inside of that head broke...

Follow up" Just got off the phone with Ford. There is a known problem that they are working on BUT BUT BUT> all Ford will authorize is to repair/rebuild the engine and not a new replacement engine regardless of the very few miles on the car. Not fair. You pay for a new car/engine and get a...

Well just got the good news/bad news call from the dealer. The good news: ALL of the parts should be at the dealer by 4 p.m. today. The bad news: ALL of the parts included new pistons, internals for the heads, valves, springs etc, but first the heads will have to go for service to another shop...

Thanks for posting the TSB. That's the one I was referring to.... but the noise I have was more like a valve spring the broke or a sticking valve on the right side....

Does anyone have a copy of the TSB that talks about this problem. I could not find it listed in the sticky at the top of the forum. TIA...

5600 miles and same thing here. There has always been a mild ticking which was noted by one of the TSB's saying some tapping noise is normal and should not be of concern especially if heard from outside the car and coming around the wheel wells. But I know that is NOT what you are talking about...

Mine does the same plus there are times it won't go onto third... but back to the first gear problem. Yes, it's probably the syncro's. So before you go into first, clutch depressed or not, with the stick pressed all the way to the left, just push the shifter back just a slight bit towards...

Easiest thing as previously suggested is to fill it back up with gas. Sometimes it takes turning on and off several times.

Have you been running your Air Conditioner??? If so that could be it......

Had/have the same problem. Cars been in the shop all week with no word on what is wrong or if or when they can fix it. But it is certainly not what is supposed to happen. Hate to say it but you really need to get it into a dealer who knows what they are doing and who cares.... ;)

Ok, so far I have endured the poping nose from the front end that the dealer can't fix even though there is a TSB out on it. They just refuse to do it as they say it doesn't fix the problem. I have had my gas tank changed because for the first couple of months I had the car I couldn't put gas in...

My car still has less then 4000 miles on it ;( Still running factory fluids.

05 GT Manual, loosing syncros 2sd-3rd ??? My 05 GT with manual tranny is loosing the ability to upshift from 2sd-3rd grear. It just doesn't want to go into gear sometimes. Not doing any speed shifting or racing, just normal street driving. Anyone else with this?

Checked with a mechanic at my Ford Dealer on the way home last night. No more H/C traps in the latest GT's so I pulled mine last night. I am running the Jet Performance Module so I was concerned about any problems or differences. Took the car out for a test after pulling the H/C trap. Happy to...

Just have your dealer order, per the TSB, an advance replacement unit. Once that comes in then have your unit exchanged at the dealership. The "B" series still have problems though certainly less then the "A" units....

I was referred to Galpin by a good friend so I called the salesmen first before going in. He told me where to park and how to get to his office to avoid the main enterance. If you just walk in you are subject to an attack from the huddled masses of hungry sales people. The meeting went well...

05 Stangster, also had the fuel tank replaced at the same time as the Shaker unit. The gas tank/handle has only shut off once and wouldn't fill normally since the exchange. I turned the handle upside down and it worked ok. However this was when the car was also below 1/4 tank which is far...
