    Trouble Starting 2003 4.6

    Hey everyone. It's been a while but I'm still around. I was hoping to pick your brains for a minute if I could. A good friend of mine drives an 03 4.6 like mine and he is having some issues getting it started and needs it like yesterday, so he asked me to help. But! I can't figure it out at...

    Broken Band Adjustment Bolt

    In an attempt to adjust my overdrive band, the square head snapped off the adjustment bolt. Without a head on the end, I can't break the lock nut free. Can I replace this bolt? I'm afraid if I remove it the band will drop and it'll cost me a fortune to get fixed. Please give me some good news...

    No 2nd gear 5R55W

    Today I replaced my solenoid block, 9qt of fluid, filter and installed new servos from fordservoboretransmissionfixsolution.com. I was able to adjust my intermediate band (I think), but not my OD band. I snapped my wrench trying to break it free. I also installed my new solenoid block without...

    Looking for 5R55W advice

    I've got a 2003 2WD 5R55W and am having the same 2-3 shift flare and reverse clunk as everyone else. Because there is SO MUCH INFORMATION on here it was becoming impossible to figure out if a new solenoid block would fix the problem or if the servo bore fix was necessary. So I bought both. I...

    No power (Misfire?)

    So I have a problem. I'm getting what FEELS like a misfire with no codes, no acceleration and hesitation when I lay the throttle on the floor. I can get it up to speed but it bitc*es to no end. I know it's getting plenty of fuel and air because I'm running 30lb injectors and 120mm Bullitt...

    Transmission noise under heavy braking

    It started about a week ago on my 2003 2WD. A noise I can only really describe as a golf ball in a ceramic coffee mug started to occur when I would depress the brakes heavily. It happens while the brakes are engaged and while they are not, and only from 12-8 mph. If I brake slowly there is no...

    Pulling airbag fuse while off-roading

    I'm about to do some serious beating up on my ex (motocross track) and was just curious as to your thoughts on pulling my airbag fuse so they don't deploy on hard landings. What do you guys think?

    Wanted 02-05 4.6 Valve Covers

    I am in need of right and left valve covers for my 4.6. However, I need a set that has the oil fill on the drivers side. I have my passenger side oil fill covers and they are in great shape. I'd be willing to trade mine for yours straight up or buy them if need be. Let me know what you've got...

    Relocate oil fill

    I just bought a Bullitt intake manifold and I need to relocate the oil fill location on my 03 4.6 from the passenger side valve cover over to the driver side valve cover. However, I'm getting some mixed input on the mustang forums as to where I should be trying to get them from. I know the 4.6...

    Throwing a new code P1565

    P1565 - Speed Control Command Switch Out of Range High I've searched the forum but can't find anyone with the same code. Anyone have any ideas? I am also throwing a P0316 but will be changing out all my plugs when I replace my intake manifold in January.

    Intake Manifold Options

    Okay. After reading through dozens of threads I'm pretty sure my intake manifold is shot. I've seen people spend the money on OEM replacement and the Dorman counterpart, but has anyone looked into an aluminum or steel replacement to get rid of the plastic? The 4.6 is a modular block so I'm...

    Coolant leak from this thing

    I have a coolant leak from what I can only assume is a sensor of some sort. I just need to know what it is so I can replace it. It's on my 4.6L. Here's the video: http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i418/HiImBrian1/952FE245-1471-44CC-884B-6C0D3428A489-11886-00000A742BCA4960.mp4 It's a link to...

    Oil Filter Adapter Housing Gasket

    Ok so apparently this gasket is bad and it the cause for the oil leak in my 4.6. AND my mechanic just quoted me $250 to replace it. It seems like it should be an easy change out and a relatively inexpensive gasket to replace. What's your input? EDIT: Advance auto wants 11.50 for this gasket....

    Whoa dang, 1,5,8 cylinder misfire and no CEL...

    Okay, so here in central Florida we've had the privilege of TS Debby's company the last few days. As I'm not *quite* stupid enough to drive in really bad weather, my rig has been in the driveway since Friday. I hopped in to run to a friends and pull a tree out of her yard and it started shaking...

    Off-Road Prep

    Between myself and my friends, I've noticed that we all do very different things to prepare to go off-roading. From gas cans to spare belts, coolers of beer to preparing alibis for girlfriends. It's pretty diverse. Since I'm pretty new to it, I'm trying to put my routine together. What do...

    Flexible Exhaust "Test Pipe"

    So I got the idea to fab up a piece of pipe to swap out with my muffler at the drop of a hat. Essentially go from muffled to straight-piped and back again. I've heard it called a "test pipe". I've got a spare flange to use, but I'm having issues with finding a piece of pipe. All the shops by...

    How-To: Replace 3rd Gen Clock Spring

    So...... my clock spring is broken. No horn, airbag, cruise, A/C or radio controls.... After a little bit of browsing on here, I didn't really find a how-to on this, so I'll write one. I'm still shopping for the part, but I didn't want to whine about it in one thread and then start another...

    Seafoam a 3rd Gen. V8

    So my idiot buddy just got a $200 dollar ticket for seafoaming his '03 F-150 in his apartment parking lot and smoking up his neighbors.... However, he said it really cleaned out his engine and that he thought I should do it to mine. He did his assbackwards though so I won't be enlisting his...

    Good Parts Dealers?

    Okay, I'm getting ready to overhaul my ex. Sooooooo..... I'm looking for parts. I'll be ordering new UCA's from BTF, but everything else is up in the air. I've realized that I can pretty much rebuild it from the ground up on RockAuto.com, but I don't want any cheap parts. Where is everyone...
