Model Years Receiving Revisions By Ford

[gt03gt93]

Would be very interested to receive any input as to what year mustangs received revisions to certain issues that were fairly common. Like for instance, from what I have gathered, the 2004 (and possibly 2003??) mustangs received additional threads in the cylinder heads for the blowout problem. And anything after 2000 received a revision for the intake manifold cracking issue. I also believe that Ford revised the timing chain tensioner after 2002. I would really appreciate hearing of any other issue related revisions/upgrades and their specific years implemented if anyone knows. Thanks.

The swap from the T45 and 10.5" clutch to the T3650 and 11" clutch in '01 was a big one also.

There is some good info at Home | National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA) | U.S. Department of Transportation if you take the time to dig it out of that hard to navigate site...

Thanks Kilgore Trout. Yea you're right, that site is very hard to navigate.

Some 01's still had the plastic intake manifold, someone pointed out that I had it on my car in some pics I posted and its an 01, I think the switch happened midyear in the 01's.
