96+GT Coolant leak? Advice needed

ruskung · 03-25-2001, 05:01 AM

I have a coolant leak in '96 GT. Please, advise what could be wrong. The pump is working, no leeks found.

Oh boy...here we go again. Another cracked intake, perhaps? If the coolant is spewing from the cheap plastic intake, call the dealer. 96-97's have a TSB for the crappo intakes cracking. Not replaced until failure, call the dealer. They will pay for towing, parts, and labor. Not a cent out of your pocket.

The same thing happened to Hammer, the moderator of this forum, just a few days ago.

I'll give you the same advice...sell the GT and buy a Cobra, and never look back

I didn't...

Thanx to T_Bone!
Unfortunately, there are no dealers around in Kazakstan. There are only 4 Stangs in my city. And, yes, it was the manifold (intake) that cracked up. Maybe smbdy could give some help on ordering the new part from your nearest dealer?
