I was told that it was a "specialty item" I was able to get mine the next day from having my dealership order it from another location.

 

So this is a Ford Product. Is that what your saying. Please provide the Ford part number so I can research it. This is very interesting to me . Maybe I need to get my head checked... Or maybe I drank some snake oil .

 

its been posted all over the thread. its in the very first post that David provided us with.

 

You have a BOSS? This is only for the v6's.

Its a Ford part number ER3Z-8276-A

 

I ordered today, has to come from ford directly as the dealer did not stock it

 

Got mine done this weekend. Didn't take more than 15 minutes.


Opened the reservoir cap to release pressure.


Disconnected the hose from the engine side first, nothing leaked out, not a drop!


disconnected the reservoir side and moved the stock clamps over to the new hose,


and reconnected everything.


Done.


Didn't bother to run the car. as others previously said. it will work out any air leaks on its own thanks to that check valve.

 

Perfect, thanks for the step-by-step install info. Just what I was looking for.

 

no problem. I used needle nose pliers and also adjustable pliers. nothing else was needed. Goodluck! his is a really important fix. Ford should have almost released a TSB on this at no cost to us.

 

I wonder if the 2015 V6 Mustangs hose has a check valve in it from the factory

 

What is the part number to the one we have currently on our cars? I found this one and I want to order it but I want to make sure it is the one with the check valve in it.

that's it! nice... $18. one day, us Canucks will get a price break. I paid $39+ tax

 

That would be good to know! To be honest, I haven't seen a whole lot of activity yet from the 2015 community. Would be good if someone could crack open their hoods and take a gander.

 

The TSB is only good if you have the coolant leak
TSB 14-0212

 

After several weeks and 90+ degree temperatures, my Mustang is running 'normal' with the new hose with the check valve

Edit: running the same as before

 

I ordered this part sometime back and installation took like 10 mins. I am glad I saw this post. After installation i took a trip to Sandiego and all went well .

 

So I had my water pump replaced in March or April, I just checked and I do not have this new hose

 

then your pump will go again :S


You should get it ordered and replaced. It didn't take me more than a 5 minutes to do.

 

To be honest I'm thinking about getting rid of the car even though I'll take a hit financially. It's been nothing but problems and I see quality issues everywhere. Kind of tired of replacing things that shouldn't break. You might see me in a 5.0 in the future, assuming Ford puts out a quality vehicle.

 

I don't blame you. I've also considered trading my in for a Z71 Colorado Crew cab, shortbox 4x4. Those trucks are sweet. The only thing that really gets to me is rev matching with this car. its soooo bad. If I push it too much on the highway and downshift or even keep RPM's north of 4k


All I can smell is the clutch. I have owned a manual car for the last 15 years. I know its not me. I'm considering the JMS module and possibly a tune to help clear that up. But, I should have to with a car like this.

 

I don't have any issues Rev matching with my tune. It can be tiresome with the stock calibration. Seems like you have to almost bury the pedal if you're trying to get into higher RPMs.
