    Thermostat Housing Exploded

    As you stated, this is not a normal problem on our 2005 Mustang GT cars... Could be that the termostat housing was tightened too much or just a manufacturer's faulty housing... Never the less, I'm glad that no one was hurt or broken down far from home... I don't think you will ever have...

    "Easy/Beginner" mods for '07 GT

    2007 GT mods The only way I have been able to solve the "droning problem" is to turn the radio UP really loud... Nothing I have tried other than that works... My car drones at about 30 MPH and again at about 60 MPH... Driving at any other speed = no droning... Dave
