1995 Ford Mustang LX from North America - Comments

I had a 95 Mustang 3.8L. I loved it, and the car saved my life in a pretty bad crash. I got rear ended, I was doing 10 and the guy that hit was doing 55. There was a car stopped in front of me and I couldn't get into another lane. The car slammed into me and through my Mustang into the other car. As I hit the car the ratchet in my seat broke and I started leaning back, the air bags didn't touch me. I walked out of that crash without a scratch on me. But like all of you, my head gasket blew at 165,000 miles. It had its problems but all in all it was a great car. Now I drive a 2004 Mustang GT 4.6L V8, And I love it.

I have a 95 Mustang with over 150,000 and no problems with head or over heating. Sounds like an air pocket in the cooling system; try bringing it up to about 4 to 4.5 r.p.m. with the radiator cap off, and add water to try to burp the system; sometimes they need it after a head job. Warning, may get hot, so try to do on a cool engine, but you have to make sure the thermostat opens to get the flow. Make sure to get all the air out, may take several minutes. Good luck.
