Very useful video recently got a big hole in mine from hitting a pothole. Found it easier to just drop the whole subframe completely even though it was more work. Way more room to work with. Either way great informative video
Great video. I need to replace the engine mounts. Lifting the motor to clear the studs of the mount from the support bracket, I think that the only option is to lift the engine by placing the jack under the pan with a 3" piece of wood. But my fear is damaging the pan after seeing how elaborate it is to replace the pan if I damage it. Any pointers? I appreciate it.
@@geeval3910 I think if you used some wood planks across the oil pan to the transmission with a jack that should support the weight with no issues if it’s evenly distributed. Maybe use two jacks. Of course this is just my opinion and I am not to be held liable if you try this. Good luck.
Did you have to take the pick up tube off because you didn’t have enough clearance to get it past it and if you had more room you could take it off with out taking out pick up tube or is it something you have to take off regardless?
Working on the ground you are limited on clearance. So after the oil pan came down I had to remove the pickup tube to slide the oil pan out. It was easy enough to remove the pickup tube and then reinstall it. Pulling the engine is the only other way to do the oil pan and I think it is what the book calls for. Either way it’s a lot of work. Hope this helps. Take care
@@donlesley1873 that’s basically why I did it myself. I figured I would share this in case it could help someone out. Good to hear you were able to do it.
Actually this job can be done without removing the stabilizer bar, pickup tube and suspension. The K-member can be dropped with the shocks and stabilizer bar attached, And there is enough room to pull out the pan towards the rear of the car.
I am sure their is many ways to do something. End result is what matters. I did this entire job in just one day. It was actually easier than it looks. One more thing this mustang is an automatic not a standard. Trani is much larger and does not allow you to slide the pan through the rear.
@@TechnMoto 😯yea my mustang is manual and placed a jack stand under the transmission. Also I took my time and worked on it only few hours a week. Also did you have a problem with the timing cover leaking after installing oil pan? I think my pan is not sealed against the timing.
No problem with leaks. Use black rtv but make sure all mounting edges are really clean and free of all oil. When putting in the pan it helps if you get it up straight. Then insert the bolts into pan and tighten just enough till you see the rtv begin to ooze out. Then let it sit like that for about an hour or two. Once that time has elapsed go ahead and torque the pan bolts down in two stages. Half the torque first then full torque. Worked for me very well. To be honest I would freak out if the dam thing was leaking after all that work- that’s just me 😂
@@TechnMoto yes I have sealed timing covers, water pumps and oil pans before with RTV. I'm looking at the part of the video where the timing cover gets bolts put in. I don't see any RTV there, not before torquing not after? The Ford instruction actually call for loosening all of the transmission bolts and hoisting up the engine to allow for extra room between timing cover and oil pan. So my oil pan sealed fine everywhere expect the timing cover, and I was fully prepared for that.
@@TechnMoto yea on the a manual transmission there doesn't seem to be enough room for the oil pan between the timing cover and the transmission. The service manual instructs to loosen all of hte transmission bolts and have the engine supported by a hoist. I've made a video about it, if you wanna see how much force to take to get oil pan wedged between the timing cover and manual transmission 😂
Hello! Oil leak from oil pan. The exchange is hard. I think packing and screw torque is a difficult task. You do a great job. Nice maintenance! ! Hand and finger cleaning is important. Let's overcome coronavirus together! ! Thank you my friend (^^) /
absolutely a v6. this is putting out more horse than any v8 made back in the day and basically it is a cruiser not a race car but she's got some kick to her. besides its the wife ride 😀
@@TechnMoto mine has a big turbo on it and it is more capable as a race car than the 05-10 gt mustang being able to be pushed upwards of 600hp. And really more capable than and gt model from the 90’s up. The only reason people don’t talk about this motor is because of the coyote. But I think it’s one of the best price to power bang for your buck out there.
@@notacoyote2790 absolutely. It’s a fun car to ride and that’s all the wife wants and cares about. Personal I could not care how many hp this engine has or doesn’t have. 😂 last year I traded it in for a newer mustang with the four cylinder echo boost. All my wife cared about was the color of the new mustang 😂 😂 and that it was a convertible. Why spend thousands more if we don’t need to. Personally I like the v6 mustang. 👍
Nice! You do a good job of explaining things as you go!
thanks

quite a useful presentation.
🤔 not sure you mean what your saying 😂
@@TechnMoto I mean it.

How do you disconnect the 2 bolts from the pick up tube ?
Socket and ratchet
Can you drop the sub frame like that without taking the tires off or disconnecting the rods?
I disconnected the steering knuckle
@@TechnMoto appreciate it saved me a lot of money

Does it applt to 2015 models
Not sure but I have a feeling their the same.
Great video
Thanks 🙏
What are the torque specs for the oil pan?
Sorry can’t remember, been awhile. Do a search on google for them

Not bad I thought it would took longer . Save you a ton money . But really Dude a V6 .

The 3.7 makes almost equivalent whp and torque as the previous generation gt
