5 Things you probably didn’t know about your 3.7 V6 Mustang

I thought this would be a little fun video considering I have limited content, I hope you guys enjoyed it! Please drop a like and subscribe I would greatly appreciate it.(DRIVESHAFT IS STILL THE SAME, Misinformation on my part! My apologies, but the top speed of at least 155mph has been proven achievable on stock ds, no gear changes.)

[@niveketihw1897]

I've owned my 2015 V6 Auto for 8.61 years as of today (7.1.23) and have right at 43,200 miles on it. It's the Automatic but I use "S" mode and initiate every single up and down shift. The last time the transmission shifted for me was probably several years ago. I find the engine to have just enough torque, just enough revs, and just the right gearing vs. weight vs. road speed. Nice sound, and the transmission never disappoints me. I am on my third set of tires on it. Originally it had the 235/50-18s and I found them ponderous. Next round I went with 235/45-18s (can't remember the brand / type). Recently I moved to 235/40-18s with the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s, and the car just handles very nicely for a big car. Yes, my speedometer reads a little higher than reality, but I also reduced unsprung weight just a bit, reduced sidewall flex, and lowered the effective gearing just a tad. The car also sits just about an inch lower. The ride is still great, and the wheel wells are still filled out nicely from an appearance standpoint. Low points would be the barebones interior and the lackluster audio (compared to my last two cars, a 2007 Civic Si and a 2012 Scion FR-S, both of which had far clearer and fuller audio). I find the seats and driving position decent enough although I tend to have the seat up as high as it will go. Only modification I've made other than the tires has been to paint the hood matte black. I did this not to make it look like a carbon fiber hood but to remove a distracting glare / sun glint coming off the rightside crease in the hood and blinding me. It worked. It hasn't all been perfect. The AC went out in 2018, and Ford wanted a shocking $2400 to fix it. I bought a thirty dollar can of AC Pro in 2019 and it has been blowing cold for four years now. Had the brake light actuator stopper disintegrate, replaced with small neodymium magnets (there's a recall on this item now but when it happened to me Ford wanted $700 to fix it!). Also had the door latch issue occur, which was fixed under recall right in my driveway by the traveling Ford dealership mechanic! Also had the rear camera die, also replaced under recall. Other than that, NO PROBLEMS. The engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, frame, and all other electronic and interior elements are rock solid.

[@niveketihw1897]

Of the three new cars I've owned, my dream combo would be the chassis / body / mechanicals of the FR-S, the interior / audio / controls of the Civic Si, and the 3.7 liter V6 and transmission of the Mustang.

I have a 2015 3.7 V6 Mustang and I love the performance. When I go for a drive its usually the length of Nova Scotia from Yarmouth to Sydney on Cape Breton Island. I do highway trips, rather than short hops like work to home, this is where this engine truly shines, at least in my opinion. I should not admit this but I've rocketed by some 5L Mustangs in my travels. its a great engine that puts out more power than the V8 did in the late 1990's and early 2000's. It's a shame that Ford wanted to push the 4 by taking away the V6. While I cruse rather quickly I never slam down and abuse the engine. I'm also fussy about oil changes as I love my car. In my experience Mustangs are one of the strongest cars on the road. My home province is surrounded by ocean water and roads are salty in winter, even with this I see lots of 25 year old Mustangs on the highway.

I have a 2012 V6 Mustang and I love it!. All I did to it was put in a K&N air filter. I just found out that the water pump is internal to the engine and will cost about $1800 for parts and labor to replace it. So, if you have more than 90K miles on the car, which I have, you may get hit with a water pump replacement.

I have a 2012 V6 and just got my water pump replaced in Silver Spring, MD. Parts $267.53, labor $455. You can get cheaper if you can do the job yourself, but I'm not equipped to do it. I don't know what you mean by "internal to the engine"; it bolts onto the driver's side of the block, but is accessible externally.

[@stevechance150]

According to what I've read, vehicles with the 3.7L V6 which have FRONT WHEEL DRIVE do have the internal water pump (it sits in the V, under the manifold). The rear wheel drive 3.7L V6, which is the mustangs, have a water pump that is bolted onto the outside of the engine. It has to do with whether the engine and transmission is mounted laterally, or longitudinally.

[@timtresch4848]

Had a 3.7 in the past, now I have a 5.0 convertible GT and despite them being based on the same platform it's incredible how differently they drive. Obviously having the V8 is going to give it more horsepower, but between that and the added weight of the convertible it's just such a different experience.

I keep seeing the Ecoboost Mustangs setting on car lots at the dealership because no one wants to buy them mostly because there a 4 cylinder it doesn’t matter about the Hsp with there twin turbos they still are and sound like a 4 cylinder. I was at the Ford dealership a few days ago and the sales man said no one wants to buy them they want the V8 but some wished Ford would still have the 3.7 I told him that Ford will find out they made a mistake and the 3.7 will come back and probably with a twin turbo package, I hope they do. The new Ecoboost prices are the same as a GT Mustang so the only people buying the Ecoboost is for the fuel economy but the ones who want a Muscle Car they go for the GT basic V8 or all out for the GT Premium V8 which I seen a 2018 And Ford Dealership wanted $50,000 for it but it was NICE

Paul D. What is stock tune ?

[@eurly93]

Faig Masimov the factory tune is the stock tune. So from the factory, just putting 93 octane in adds about 8 rwhp = 10 hp at the engine

[@rawhidelamp]

2014 Mazda CX- That v6 is no joke

[@Sonicaceman]

There is only a 5 hp difference from 11-14 to the 15 and up 3.7’s (305 vs 300), this was mostly a marketing gimmick by Ford to sell more 4 cylinder ecoboosts because Ford knew they were dropping the v6, as you mentioned the 3.7 makes more hp with 93 octane, the ecoboost was marketed with 310 hp based and 320 tq off 93 octane, that same car only makes 275 hp on 87 and 300 tq, so the v6 even in 15’ with 87 octane outperforms the ecoboost and most people don’t exclusively use 93 like myself. Huge difference there and that’s why I agree the v6 was a better car for the base and more reliable. It will be back most likely in the form of a 2.7 Ecoboost it’s just a matter of time

[@pepsiman2156]

The 305 hp rating is on 93, ford even says so in all their literature, but yes the 5hp drop was a slight change in the intakes and maybe a slight change in tuning plus, as you say they wanted the 4banger eco to become more popular to meet the stiffer EPA fuel mileage average requirements, thus the 3 cyl eco engine in the focus and fiesta etc, trying to boost overall average of fuel economy!

My son has a 2011 and my daughter a 2013. These cars are not all that fast for having 300+HP. They need at least 3.42 gears that would really wake them up. 3.73 probably too much but I'd bet 3.42 would be great.

@@javeantedemonz4206 no idea how fast stock but I have an 02 V6 firebird 200hp and 342s and it's comparable. We also used to have a 2010 V6 mustang and honestly it seemed quicker. Whatever these have its way to tall.

@@Tradbow85 I'll bet that really woke it up. If yours has the six speed auto, how are the rpms at highway speed?

[@robertbell525]

@@Tradbow85 someday I'd like to put 410s in my v6 firebird. The housing would need a little grinding from what I've read. I have hp tuners and it's very easy to set that up. Highway would increase rpms by about 400 so not a big deal. One of many priorities that outnumber available funds. Even now it's pretty good with 342s but it could use some help.

Saw an interview with a Ford guy over in Germany, who said that Ford dropped the V6 in favor of the POS eco boost to attract the European market. He laughed when he revealed that the European buyers went 80% for the V8. I was going to buy the IRS V6 when it came out, but Ford, in it's infinite wisdom, decided to "rental fleet" the car, and stripped off nearly every performance/brake upgrade. So I passed and bought a Charger instead.

@@simeon8327 so 93 octane gives 7+hp and putting any other gives nothing? And what is the video called i want to watch it please

[@simeon8327]

It’s some American muscle video out there, but the reason behind it is Bc the car was supposed to be a fuel economy/power, so the hp and torque numbers presented to public were for 87 octane, however the fuel maps are adaptive and are mapped for 87,89, and 93, the car will advance timing when it reads a higher octane, it’s nothing crazy that you’ll actually feel and you’ll still be better off with a tune, but it’s neat that it’s there

fact they discontinued the v6 because its the same exact base used in the ford gt just imagin if ppl found out why do you think you cant find any good mods its not in fords best intrest to have a cheaper mustang be faster then the v8 the 3.7 cyclone was over engineerd fact and how would i know because i have a ford gt block in my cyclone direct 3.5L V6 GTDI ENGINE check it out

[@mbchannel1037]

Still prefer V6 over 4cyl ecoboost. The ecoboost engine sounds good, but unraspy enough just like V6 and V8.

[@gregoryh4601]

Thanks Sir. I think they need to get the Head out of there Butt and Down the 4cly.and stay with the 6v because I have a Mercury with the 6V and get 31miles on the Highway and better at higher speed. Sorry but I am old school and think FORD just want to fix more 4cly motor problems when you have a 4cly works harder at that higher Speed. Wish FORD put a rear wheel Drive in the Ford Edge 6v with Manual trans. That would be Cool Car to have. Well hope Ford reads this GOD SPEED

[@maker7901]

yea i bet when ford brings the v6 back it will be a ecoboost. then the mustang L4 ecoboost will drop in sales. because think about it ford wouldnt have released a ecoboost v6 because it would kill the GT market some so they are trying to make the mustang gt modales more powerful until they start to think of releasing a v6 ecoboost mustang.

Your right but in the Ford vechicle that engine is not the same internally .I don't know the break up of the differences but it does not have the same power from the cx9 to the Ford edge sport or into the mustang there are many differences Ford had a partnership with Mazda they split and Ford built on the 3.7 to make it an extra special engine .

@@GoldenDeer-ox3po you're all wrong.. the Cyclone is a completely different engine family to the old Duratec 2.5/3.0 used in older Taurus', contours, fusions, and mazda 6's etc. also the 3.7 or 3.0 was never designed by mazda simply used by mazda. only difference is the mazda version was built in japan and only had slight differences (hardly worth mentioning) to be used in Mazda vehicles (like the CX-9). otherwise, they're exactly the same as any other FWD ford equipped 3.7.

[@kenhur9800]

Early 80s was 140, early 90s 225

[@Sparky-ww5re]

That was because of the government regulations concerning emissions and fuel economy which lasted from the 70s energy crises well into the 80s and even the 90s. My first vehicle, a 1993 Ford Ranger, 2WD, 5 speed manual 4 cylinder, had the 85 mph speedo with the 55mph mark highlighted. Made a good conversation piece, for the younger generation who is used to seeing 120, 140 and 160 mph speedo. For those younger folks wondering about the 85 mph speedo, that was also a Federal regulation, in an attempt to get drivers to slow down and conserve fuel, during the energy crisis, gas lines and stagflation of the 70s

[@earlyre]

how are your octanes rated? just the RON number, like the UK/AUS, etc, The MON Number, or the AKI [(R+M)/2] method used here in the states, or some other method... long way of saying that octane numbers don't always translate straight across from region to region. our "regular" 87 octane (R+M)/2, is more or less equivalent with 91-92 RON, while our "Premuim" 91-93 octane (R+M)/2 is more or less equivalent to 96-98 RON..

[@precise5895]

How could you tell if the car is an ecoboost

[@planetdee3587]

Ford never made sense making a powerful v6 like this and then trying to make the car good on gas. Between the poor gear ratio and lack of strong parts to handle really fast speeds, this made no sense at all. This car should have come stock with GT parts and just lacking the engine type. This would have made it a perfect track car straight out of the gate
