Question,

what's been changed from 2005 to 2006 >? I hear the front grille is different, but the airinlet to the front brakes still has not been opened up.

What else ? What about eventual tech-changes and upgrades vs 2005s?
One change was done during 2005, from initially a solid pipe orof oilfeed to the transaxle (that's frequently leaking in the early models), in later vins Ford used a flexhose, that avoids leaking and has better fit and resistance to body engine movement.

pls start posting !

I don't think the front grill is different, it's missing all together.
That or someone stole mine :wink

Changes

Go back through the archives. All these changes have been discussed with pictures. Yes, the front screen no longer exists in the 2006.

Also some 2006 early model VINS were hand stamped and one or two were hand carved... Also Control arms are switched over to casting again...

Apparently, the windshield antenna connection point changed. On my 06 it's at the top in the centre. At some point it was on the side - my dealers had the ‘wrong’ windshield in stock and they have ordered the other one.
