Same, I'm still on the original wipers and I use RainX once a month and use plain auto glass cleaner once a week depending on how bad the bug splat gets and the water just rolls off when it rains. I clean the interior glass with a Dawn dish soap solution when ever the inside glass starts...

Ehhhhh, As far as "Cracking The Code", They contradict themselves in their intro by saying there "Isn't Proper Tuning Available, But there Are Other Options That they are werking On" So I take it that means they aren't actually flashing a new tune, they just figured out a way to dump in...

A gomer in new Mustang 'Vert with the top down had a Red Light but rolled through the cross walk, literally stopping and blocking a guy that was legally crossing. The guy crossing was a taller feller and simply 2-stepped stepped thru/over the 'Stang via the rear seat. Looks kinda like an...

Ford presumes the fuel you are using is an E10 blend, So they use 14.1 as the default A/F ratio. Here's where it gets tricky, The tune is looking for 1.0 Lambda part throttle and .82 Lambda WOT ... Regardless of what ethanol content is in the tank, The displayed A/F ratio is going to read...

Do the guys who start these threads even own an S650?? ./

Mine squeaks, sounds kinda like wet tennis shoes on waxed vinyl tile floor when mashing the pedal, I don't usually hear it when I'm driving [ Boomer Hearing ] but my in car cam picks it up. .

Looks like it's part of the Excluded inventory, Dealer participation is discretionary. Valid April 3 - June 2, 2025. Eligible Vehicles: All new eligible 2024-2025MY Ford & Lincoln vehicles (excluding 25MY Expedition, 25MY Navigator, 25MY Super Duty, Raptor Family (Bronco, Ranger, F-150)...

I have plenty of time slips that show removing the carbon traps resulted in Zero gains on my car at the drag strip. The S650 is trapping nearly 2mph more on the 1/4 with 20 more HP, One would expect nearly 1-mph gain on the 1/4 with 10hp+. Didn't happen. ./

I'll keep the S650 intake and give up a few hundred rpm and save the $2,000+ that CJ setup costs for something else. Wengerd dyno .... I'd surmise tuning could get power to carry out to 8000.

Based on the 650 intake testing Wengerd did on the S550, the S650 intake looks to have a power curve similar to the GT350 intake, so no reason to swap. These S650 will easily run 10's NA with some Corn Fed RPM's ... ./

And it's seriously unlikely Ford will raise the shift points to 7800 which would really get these S650 flying. .

Crazy, A similar car in the US would be 71 ....

Yes, what you are seeing is normal. Ford has been using 'smart charging' for years, it's supposed to increase fuel mileage by reducing parasitic drag from the alternator by not charging under load, and then does regenerative charging while coasting and cruising, .

It's page 303 in the Maintenance Section of the Owners Manual .

The owners manual sez, 1qt coolant loss a month is Normal.. --If you have to add more than 1.1 qt (1 L) of engine coolant per month, have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.-- I don't agree loosing 1qt a month is acceptable either, there's leak IMVHO. I've got 20K miles on mine and the...
