Has anyone seen this article? If you read down to the list of included vehicles, our GTs are included. Thousands of Ford owners may be driving a 'ticking time bomb' with flawed air bag repairs Phoebe Wall Howard, Detroit Free Press Mon, February 26, 2024 at 2:46 AM PST·21 min read 407 Ford...

The power steering fluid in my car was recently changed, along with new hoses. Long ago I was told that the fluid level should be checked hot. I assume that’s correct owing to fluid expansion raising the level in the reservoir. That also suggests that if fluid is added, that to correctly measure...

Must be a slow day ;), but I was under my GT and noticed (again) the square hole on the right forward side of the more forward of the two removable rear belly pans. With a flashlight it appears as though one can look up and see the bottom of the power steering pump, but I'm not sure. Does anyone...

It's time for my annual oil change. Years ago, I switched from the Ford oil to Rotella T6 5W-40 when Ford changed the formulation for the Motorcraft oil. However, now I cannot get the Rotella either. None of the auto parts shops here have it in stock or can get it now. I can buy Rotella T6...

I have Clearplex on my windshield, and it has done a fantastic job of protection for years (installed more than 20,000 miles ago) from rocks etc. However, I always thought it would be easily scratched/damaged by the wipers. Clearplex says that "Our windshield protection film stands up to...

Would someone explain why, according to the Ford maintenance schedule, some items are supposed to be replaced after a certain mileage or a specific period of time? For instance, Ford specified air cleaner element replacement after 30,000 miles or 3 years. The mileage requirement is...

Do any other Ford vehicles use the same transaxle fluid as the GT or is it unique?

I have been trying to contact you for several days with no success. I need a part that I hope you have in stock. Please PM me or email me at grybrd123@yahoo.com with your phone number! Thanks! Vincent998

Well, I found my starting problem, and it may be unique. However, I suggest all GT owners check for this issue the next time they have the rear pan off. I installed a new battery and charged it overnight before using it, cleaned the ground, etc. Car still did not start, but the solenoid...

My 05 GT battery appears to be toast (solenoid just clicks when I try to start, and yes, I thoroughly cleaned the ground already), but it did last six years. Just checked with my local friendly and efficient Ford parts guy (he loves the GT) and learned that a new Optima lists at $449 (I would...

One of my grandsons is coming for a visit, and I want to take him for a fairly long drive (200 miles). I have the stock car seat anchor hardware. He is 10 yo, stands 4'6" and weighs 65 lbs. I am a little concerned that he may be a bit too small for safe seating. He's too big for a car seat (and...

Has anyone tried to get a new replacement Conti Kit (that's the orange and black compressor/fix a flat kit in the "trunk" on the right side)? They go out of date every 5-6 years (they are expiration date stamped). When I got my car six years ago I replaced the expired one by buying the identical...

Looking at fleabay this morning, I counted 10 2005 GTs and 20 2006 GTs for sale, almost all with fewer than 9,999 miles. Many with fewer than 999 miles. I do not recall ever seeing a GT on the site sell. I find it hard to believe that 1) prices are so high with so many cars on the market, and 2)...

Has anyone ever changed the "water" pump on a GT motor? I seem to have a very small, slow leak. It was discovered when I got a bunch of spatter on the motor side of the internal window, and it has only happened once (last week). I cleaned the window off and then drove the car about 20 miles at...

After 26,000 miles my engine compartment needs a thorough cleaning, and to do that I need to remove the belly pans, do the wash and clean, and then I'd like to drive the car a bit (not at high speed, just around town) so it dries out completely. Is there a problem doing that? IDK if the pans...

If President Trump puts the 35% tariff on incoming new cars produced in foreign countries (as he has said he will do), are you guys prepared to pay another $157K for it?:pop

Ebay has a listing for a full set of (claimed) new gauges, but they look odd. The indicator needles are in the wrong places. I'm surprised no one has posted about these - the price is spectacularly good, but only if they work! See eBay item number: 302077386457 2005 2006 FORD GT GT40 NOS SET ALL...

Does any one know what kind of plastic the fender liners (front and rear) are made of? Polycarbonate, polyurethane, polyethylene, polypropylene, vinyl, nylon, teflon, etc? I noticed that the plastic around the rear metal nut clips that hold the bottom of the rear fender liners to the diffuser...

Just out of curiosity, do you warm your car up from cold before driving it? I know it's a "modern" car and you can probably drive it after just a few seconds, but is it a good idea to warm it up? If you let it warm up, for how long and/or to what coolant temperature? Is it a bad idea to let...

Looking at the description of this 25 mile car up for auction today, at the bottom it states "Cannot be registered in California". Why not?:confused
