My dad bought a 2005 4.0 from a salvage yard for $2800 about a year ago, and he had some incredible ambitions and big plans for this Mustang. He was either going to 302 crate swap or rebuild 4.0 w/ ported heads and cams. Me and dad were also looking at cool cosmetics as well while doing our research. But what sucks is that he never really got to start working on it because of cancer. So now I've taken upon myself to continue and finish my dads Mustang in tribute to him (12/31/23). "Why didn't he get a v8?" He's had plenty, from a 1969 Mach 1 to a 1970 built 383 w/440 heads Plymouth Cuda. He had some other cool ass classics back in his day.

We bought an 05 v6 auto for my daughter’s first car. It’s pretty worn in and we got it with 160 k on it. Thing has been awesomely reliable. I love the thing. I’ll be bummed when she gets her license and I won’t be driving it hahaha

Good video. All truths. If younger peeps want a cheaper mustang to supercharge or add a turbo kit, get the 3.7 Mustang. The Cyclone engine starts at 305hp and is strong as shit…. I am at 480-490ish with my 2017… Procharger equipped. ❤

Great video. I bought a 2007 4.0 convertible. I love it, it’s perfect for cruising especially with the top down. Its definitely not fast and I did not expect it to be. Once you accept that, you’re good. I’m def gonna do some tasteful cosmetic mods and get it tuned with the Bama tuner in the future just to wake it up a little.

You should be able to get a new gauge cluster for $60-$150. I got an 07 reproduction mycolor for $69 ~3 years ago. It cost me more to get the mileage set to match the motor; which is not necessary. My 06 also has low mileage ~57K lol. Still a garage queen despite my Deep Impact 2013 5.0. I DD the 5.0 and using the garage it too much of a pita. The 4.0 Manual is a T5. It's modeled after the original borg warner but not quite as strong. They can be broken with stock 4.0 power. So can the 7.5" open diff. My Turbo 4.0 is an exception to the rule. 431HP / 507TQ - Turbocharged in 2007 and still alive today, though it's going to get Holley Eliminated soon since stock spark and fuel suck.

I’ll certainly look into the gauge replacement. Thought it would be more costly than a couple hundred bucks. I appreciate the info on the transmission. Completely spaced the T5. Was under the impression they were a bit more durable compared the dreadful 5r55.

I'm sure it's been said but the trans issue is with the over drive band servos. They're precision machined steel rubbing on aluminum... They eat it up over time, there are after market servo replacements with a sleeve to stop them from wearing themselves to nothing. $200 plus labor is much better than >2,000 for a "new" tranny. As far as "what causes it" or what's gonna make it more noticeable: cold weather, hard shifting (heavy acc) before it's warmed up, old fluid and filter. I have noticed that mine is worse going down hill, especially if it's trying to down shift from 2nd.

Truth about the 4.0 from a 3.7 and 4.0 owner. (I had a 3.7 2014, wrecked it, now I got a 4.0 2010) It has a sealed transmission which sucks if you got a leak or any issues. Also it has 100 less hp than that of one that is barely more expensive. I would save for a 3.7 if I could do it again
