    To fix the power steering whine, use ATF TYPE F like ford intended, not power steering fluid. Also for the exhaust, its because the manifold is a one piece mount, seperate the flanges and itll fix itself.

    I have a 2002 GT with 185k miles. Bunch of little things have broken, but nothing expensive to fix. The only major thing has been the intake manifold for $300 because it was leaking coolant. Little things include cracked vacuum hoses, coil packs, O2 sensors. I’m actually surprised it has lasted this long because I don’t drive it gently. I’m constantly pulling, passing, revving on a daily basis for 4 years. Knock on wood, but so far my car has been very reliable.

    Mustang power steering pumps havent changed since the 80's. Ford used TYPE F transmission fluid int eh power steering pump. This is why you get the whine when you add regular power steering fluid. Swap it out for the TYPE F and you're whine will go away. (as always do your own research before taking internet advice).

    I've had a 2000 Mustang since 2002 and I've kept up with the maintaining. It has 96,000 miles on it, has had a total repaint and restripe (lettering), 18" wheels and spacers, the issues I've had are a blown brake line, a fuel pump. I totally tuned up the vehicle plus replaced all belts-hoses, tranny fluid at 90,000 miles plus shocks and struts.
    ANY car that you plan to keep needs above average and proactive TLC. I also have a 1987 Corvette with 54,000 miles on it that looks new plus a 2010 Mustang... Cars are fun, a great hobby but like women they can cost a pretty penny to keep them looking and acting sexy and if you don't keep up the cars like women can get cranky and expensive and really screw you over at the very worst time.:)

    Excellent vid. Thanks for the oil leak tips. The radio volume not going down and getting stuck on high when a passenger messes with it and inadvertently turns it UP in order to try to get it to go down was a classic. I finally replaced the entire thing. (At least it's a standard double-din size and was any easy swap.) My 2001 is still going strong at 146,000 and the body and paint have held up better than my newer cars. Never have had an engine issue, and I'm still getting random compliments all the time.

That's justa Ford bearing issue and even today's Fords after 2013 does that. main leaks are common no matter what car you have. Let me name off some REAL "common mustang issues"
    1. Gas Gauge goes to empty when you have about $2.00 left in the take and goes full when you put $5.00 gas in it
    2. 2nd gear manual trans Crunch
    3. Window motors loses it's strength
    4. Bouncing or late responding speedo
    5. Whining trans/diff
    6. Syncros bad
    7. Losing 2nd gear and not even racing
    8. Clutch cable goes to shit at the most inconvenient time
    9. Heat soaking(most 4.6/5.4L motors)
    10. Serving dish of a crank pulley
    11. Water pump going out whenever the hell it wants no matter if it's the OEM replacement or aftermarket. Same damn miles, same damn time

Unfortunately it was a gas hog so I had to buy another car thats a gas saver. For some reason the car breaks down more just sitting in the driveway than when it was daily driven 😂😂😂.

  • @skystonegem
    @skystonegem 5 років тому +11

    Good video. - Thanks for helping educate the masses - Let me help support that cause: For what its worth, here are the problems common to the V-8 version (GT, 4.6 liter) 1. COPs tend to break down after 125,000 miles. Not all aftermarket versions get along with the ECU so research well if you are not replacing with Motorcraft (Ford) 2. Fuel pump on both 6 and V-8 die at between 80,000 and 120,000 so be prepared for that. 3. On the V-8 there is an oil leak which is very common at the mounting boss for the oil filter where the boss mounts to the block. Cheap part (gasket) but the heads on the 4 bolts which hold the filter boss to the block are VERY easy to strip off - Ford parts department replacements have much larger heads (they figured out that the original design was weak) so I recommend buying those before doing the gasket replacement. 4. Odometer can go out or become intermittent on these. There are a bizillion videos on this site covering this issue, typically on F150 trucks which you can view to get you up to speed on that. We also own a v-6 version so I'll vouch for the exhaust leak on that.

    Got a 2001 V6 convertible with 60,000 miles. Bought it with an exhaust leak and bad coil pack. Replaced those and the thing has been a freaking tank for the last 3 years. Now has something over 75k (college student, don’t commute that much) and it’s still screaming. Installed BBK headers to fix the leak, and I have plans for a CAI, BBK throttle body, and hopefully a tune down the road. Not a fan of the transmission, but i believe it was designed that way to compliment the V6

    Each trim level has different issues. For example, the 03-04 Cobras can have the “Cobra clunk,” power steering leaks, AC Compressor dies, cruise control just quits working, and the alternators get burned up due to not being able to handle the high engine temps. My cobra had that door leather issue where it started to peel back from the top, but I had it fixed.

    Here are a few others.
    1. Vent cap on the rear axle, make sure it's clear. Easy to replace, this will prevent pressure from blowing the pinion seal.
    2. Code P1518 is mostly caused by plastic clips breaking, the control arms attached to a manifold high RPM relay unit that controls air intake butterfly's. Clips are 6 dollars but the fix is a few hours if the you take off the manifold.
    3. Brakes, calipers slide pins love to get stuck, if you did 4 rotors, pads and calipers new/rebuilt your looking at 500 for calipers, 200 for rotors and 75 for pads. Not to mention if you need a flush and what not. that's the low end brakes.
    4. Seat belt retraction also fails a lot leaving you with a sloppy seatbelts, the fix is about 100 dollars with a few hours of work.
    5. Pop an airbag? $700 from ford, in 2008.

      I have never seen a Ford, any model, car or truck that didn't have the P.S. pump noise and the manual tells you not to hold the wheel against lock for any length of time. The sound comes from the over pressure bypass valve opening when the wheel is held against lock and the pump can overheat if you do that.

    • @bender5292
      @bender5292 6 років тому +1

      I've heard that certain types of power steering pump fluids can quite it or make it stop out right. Go to your local auto parts store and on the back of the bottle it'll say it helps quite ford pumps. I know with mustangs best thing to do is take something like a turkey baster and suck as much of the power steering fluid out at possible and then turn the wheel a few times to get the rest of the fluid to come out into the reservoir and then use the baster again and then refill it with the new fluid. Worth a shot.

    Try using 1 qt. of Marvel Mystery Oil the next time you change your oil, it helps to clean out the inside of your engine and makes it run smoother. I had a vehicle that was leaking oil at the rear main seal. I changed the oil filter, 4 qts. of regular engine oil and 1 qt. of MMO and I drove the car like that for 8 months. Then when I changed the oil again it wasn't leaking any oil on the ground. I am not making any promises on your car, but give it a try and see if it helps to restore your seals too. It is much cheaper than paying to have a mechanic fix your oil leaks.

    I just got a 1999 with 85k miles for 300 dollars. V6 automatic car. Engine runs great. trans shifts good. Front calipers are sticking on and making a drag and making the front brakes smoke so i just ordered new calipers. The one I bought the inspection expired in 2015 so it's been sitting for 5 years plus. the tires were also weather cracked from sitting. I bought a set of tires on oem wheels for 140 and they have like new good year ga tires. new calipers on ebay for a set is 99 dollars. ordered new wipers, and plug wires as something was chewing on them. I have almost what i paid for the car in parts. Luckily it's nothing majorly wrong with the car and the a/c works. The light doesn't turn on when i open the door and the map lights are not working. not sure if their is a fuse that controls those or not haven't taken the time to look.

      I agree. I just purchased a 1995 V-6 Mustang 5-speed because it is a Ford F-150 except it has a much more pleasant interior, exterior, the body is more aerodynamic, and it has rear wheel disk brakes. Everything else mechanically is a F-150; except a used one costs way more than this under rated Mustang which I regard as a commuter car. Mine even has a fold down rear seat, it fits 8- foot long 2x4’s and I will probably use it as a truck as often as anyone in Texas does. The crazy thing is it has a dealer badge from Georgia, and every V-6 I see is from Georgia.

Bad harness in driver door causing it) Right now, I am having to locate the brake light wiring short, because I'm getting intermittent problems with no brake lights and stuck in park until I move the brake light switch under the dash. I did replace the switch the other day, but to no avail. After 20 years, I did have to refill a little tranny fluid in the convertible top pump, but hey... 20 yrs... I still have the original top. The edges are starting to crack along the vinyl edging, but top still looks good. Your power steering whines, because you used wrong fluid.
