    serial number

    By build sheet do you mean the window sticker? That may be available from Ford Performance. Do a search here to find out how to get one. Each car has a build book, but except for a lucky few, the build books were not given to owners but kept by Ford.

    Engine coolant pump replacement?

    So what were the results? Did you guys fix the leak completely and permanently?

    My baby needs new diapers

    I think that's too much pressure. I run mine at 26-27. Remember, the Bridgestones are wider, and therefore crowned higher, than the Eagles, so to compensate I run a lower pressure to get more even wear across the tread.

    Front marker light needed

    Have prices fallen? I don't think the head and tail light prices are correct .... last time I checked, Ford listed the tail lights at something around $2300 each, and head lights were more than $3,000. And, as others have noted, Ford won't sell parts except to verified GT owners.

    Ouch! But deserved...

    Sorry, I'm not having any of what you're selling. He signed the contract and his word is worthless. I hope Ford sues the crap out of him.

    Wrecked Heritage on E bay

    Just a little bondo and some glue to fix, right? Must have taken a really hard hit to do all that.

    Engine coolant pump replacement?

    After driving my car more than 600 miles since the spatter, I got some more. Is there a weep hole in the water pump housing? If there is, where is it?

    Highly recommended! And actually, it's for less than the cost of a tach or speedo ...

    Do any of these GTs ever sell?

    Yes, but what drives the price up? I always thought scarcity was the most important thing (that old supply and demand thing ...). When there are 30 for sale just on ebay (and who knows how many more elsewhere) there is no scarcity. And, it's not as though the cars on ebay sell like hotcakes, either.

    Do any of these GTs ever sell?

    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)...

    Engine coolant pump replacement?

    Here is a possible source for better clamps than those used by Ford: http://www.tacomascrew.com/Products/Hose-Clamps#!Hose-Clamps If you go to the web site and look at hose clamps, you will find both the constant torque clamps like those on our GTs and "lined" clamps. The lined clamps are worm...

    Engine coolant pump replacement?

    Just returned from a 400 mile drive over three days. Total mileage is now more than 27,000. No splatters or any sign of coolant leaks. At this point it seems as though it was a very small leak - maybe only a single drop or two - and perhaps the heat etc of the long drives softened things a...

    Engine coolant pump replacement?

    This morning there was a 6" puddle of coolant on the garage floor when I raised the car on the lift, so I took the middle pan off and there was a fair amount more trapped on the upper side of it. Using the borescope looked at the coolant pump again and although I could see dried coolant where...

    Engine coolant pump replacement?

    Hi junior! Many thanks for your post. Yes, the splatters on my window are similar to yours - but much less dense. I notice that yours, like mine, are spread in a horizontal band across the window, and most dense in the center where the s/c belt is located. I've attached a photo of mine so you...

    Engine coolant pump replacement?

    Yes. I declined to taste the drop from the pump body (I know that tasting it is old school, but it IS poison ...), but the spatters on the window dried and were white, and the drop we found on the bottom of the pump body was coolant, not oil. It was yellow/gold, not colorless like s/c oil. There...

    Engine coolant pump replacement?

    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...
