its a standard feature on all our cars.

ideally once you fix it your done with it because its mainly the stock torque. In lagged's case who knows, maybe god hates him.

until your fan shroud breaks off and you overheat, warping the head and giving you a BHG....god hates me too

 

[Boosthpy]

This is my third time having to pull the trans out. Hopefully both of us figure out our problems and this will be the last time it happens.

In any other car, a BHG is catostrophic engine failure. With us its routine maintinice.

Early ford 3.8L are just as bad as 7M's
i know for a fact 99+ 3.8L's have MHG's so they fixed that!

maybe.

Even with the metal HG, bhg are a common prob on ford 3.8. Its a major design flaw with the casting that they have refused to fix. I have personal experience with these failing, three times on my grandmothers Taurus. It would take a miracle for me to own a ford.

Amen! haha.

BHG falls under the "3 months or 3000 miles (if you're lucky)" category doesn't it? On the original window sticker it was in the fatory installed options category under "3.0 liter engine" and above "power windows"
