Also, Steve, Red, I've been doing some more reading, esp on the mustang forums, and as you know, things that happen to a handful of people get blown up out of proportion and scare the other 99% of the other people.
So in that vain, what are the "handful" of issues that have happened to 5.0 cars in general? I read stuff about this "tick" noise that happens around 7k? Thoughts on that? Any of you experience this?

Tick is normal. A lot of people bitched about it but it just sounds like typical engine operation to me.
Some cars had Cylinder #8 issues but those seemed exclusive to 2011s with bad aftermarket tunes. Some people bitch about the transmission, but it's a non-issue if you know how to drive. Just the usual stuff.
One thing to keep in mind with the 5.0 is it sells about 30k units or more a year, and you have a lot of owners coming from cars like Honda Accords or Lexus whatevers that want to give the new 5.0 a try. So they freak out at the littlest of things.
I wouldn't worry about it. |
