    Replacement Engine For 2006 Gt

    I was looking at dropping in a complete engine with harness, its more the harness to the BEC that was concerning me. From feedback, it looks like I would be ok with dropping in the complete engine.

    Spark Plugs for 06 GT

    I just did the first spark plug change out on my 06 GT with 106,000 miles on it. I took a deep breath, cracked them all between 1/8 - 1/4 and used Seafoam to loosen the carbon. They came out with a little squeaking, but all 8 came out fine. The only thing that I did not follow on the TSB was...

    Exhaust Flange Nut size for a 3.8 stock exhaust

    Found it Thanks for the input, since the original studs were on the car and wouldn't come off, I had matched with the nut. It is an M10-1.50 metric. A M10 -1.50 bolt WILL go on a 3/8-16 bolt which was what originally threw me off but doesn't work the other way (3/8 is just slightly narrower...

    Exhaust Flange Nut size for a 3.8 stock exhaust

    I am in the middle of replacing the catalytic converter assembly and stuck on the reassembly. The original exhaust header to cat assembly studs were rusted and pretty gumbied up from the disassembling. I could not get the studs out so I bought new Dorman headers that came with the studs and...

    Rear end vibration between 25-30 mph

    They fixed it Not sure what they had done when they worked on it, but they said they had to "re index" my driveshaft and now all vibration is gone. They screwed something up when they switched out the fuel pump...problem is that there is no correlation at all between the fuel system and drive...

    Rear end vibration between 25-30 mph

    I recently had my local dealership replace the fuel pump on my 06 GT for the hesitation tsb and ever since I have had it back, it has a pretty severe vibration between 25-30. The vibration isn't there at lower or higher speeds (as far as I can tell) and wasn't there before I had it in the...

    06 GT stalls during acceleration

    Rev limiter Are you sure that you aren't hitting the redline before you shift? If you hit the redline the ECM drops fueling and leaves you dead in the water before it removes the derate. It must be an engine protection feature, but damn its annoying.

    EGR and rough running 30-50 mph

    EGR and rough running 30-50 mph

    Re: d.p.f.e. the d.p.f.e has already been replaced. Thats what I referred to as the differential pressure sensor. EVERYTHING has been replaced.....just freaking weird. I am about to pull the EGR Tube and thoroughly clean it out as a last ditch try because that is the only part of the EGR...
