![]() Welcome to MustangWorks!!
Yellow 98 GT's are awesome. Wanna really feel a part of something big, check out www.yellowmustangregistry.com. It is a whole club dedicated to yellow Mustangs, and they put on cruises and events all over the country. Your antifreeze problem is common, the 4.6 has a plastic intake manifold. This is all well and good except for the front which passes hot coolant from one head to the other, and they get cracked, either at the thermostat housing or across the runner behind the alternator. I have had to replace the manifold on my 97 GT and on my 98 GT. My sister-in-law had it happen on her 97 T-Bird too. The good news is Ford has figured this out. The new replacements (my 97 got another all plastic intake) have a metal runner on the front, aluminum I think, so when it is fixed, it stays fixed. Ford had a recall on this manifold, chances are you can get it fixed under the recall. Check with your local Ford dealer. If not, the new manifold is about $250 and you can replace it yourself. Be careful to take all the parts off the old manifold one at a time and set on the new one, so you know where they go. Then when the old one is off, transfer them from the new one to the old one, then start replacing the manifold. Its a big job, but it's not really hard. Be sure and post some pics soon!

![]() If it don't leak it will work, you're lucky. Mine cracked behind the alternator on my 97, right after the coolest burnout I ever did in it, too. On the 98 it cracked around the thermostat housing, and just like you and the other guy posting, it was leaking when I bought it. We tried silicone sealant, O-rings, everything, but it still leaked.

![]() That sounds like a great deal to me. I paid $11,250 last October for my son's 98 GT with 44,800 miles on it, but it was PERFECT. It has only gotten better as he has added exhaust, rims, springs, and lots of other stuff.
Your picture looks great too!

![]() I went and looked at that web site for yellow mustangs very cool
![]() thank you had no idea mustangs had so many followers there is so much i can do to this car it blows my mind away my wife thinks im crazy but boy it will be fun spending money on this car. just to see how fast i can go. Ive had fast cars before but where always carbs and big blocks. these cars were great but always so heavy that was there problem to dam heavy and those dam carbs just cant match fuel injecters. I was at the ford dealer friday there all know about the intakes but no recalls on them. Why doest ford care about this? also seen some 2004 ford saleens the int. has not really change at all, looks just like my 98 dashboard but now white gauges. Hmm i think if you have a good thing go with it right? but the the ther. housing still leaks a very little still but when she all warm up no leaks at all. Hope she holds till next spring to dam cold now to do a tear down now. But if I had to I would, I seen the new intakes all alum. in the front with that plastic for the valves still. This car i brought was off a use car lot came with a warrerty im going to check in to it cause it covers intakes ![]() |
