I just checked my wife’s Lincoln caps and they were fine after a year. I think road salt over the winter can contribute to corroding the aluminum.

Yes oil life is time sensitive, as are most fluids. That’s why in the manual and on the products themselves, they have recommendations to change before either mileage or time, whichever comes first. Fluids have a shelf life regardless of being used or not. Even my preferred oil for my 06 GT...

Mine is brand new and was filled just a hair above the minimum line. I assume anywhere between min and max is acceptable. I wouldn’t worry. Like previous post said, check when hot and see what the expansion is.

I heeded the warnings about metal valve stem caps and got these. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLQCGD91?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title Though I have had aluminum caps for over a year on my wife’s Lincoln and they come off easy….so far. I may have to rethink them.

In my 06 Mustang all I had was radio/CD player. So I always just cranked up Helmet and Black Sabbath. In my 6CD changer 3 CD’s never left , Master of Reality, and Helmet’s Aftertaste and Betty. Now with my 2025 GT, I have Xm and Bluetooth access to my phone’s library, so I am overwhelmed with...

It also seems to be the most active forum. Good place to come to.

The SVE looks good!

I have read that auto manufacturers are going to do away with the auto stop feature, since regulations have relaxed a bit, and consensus is that it’s a stupid feature that does next to nothing but irritate the driver. It MAY be possible that a future over-the air update could possibly make...

Without repeating the great info here. I personally use the Battery Tender by Deltran. It charges the battery until it hits it’s peak then goes into trickle mode. You can leave it on the battery indefinitely. To answer the OP question, that is about what the Ford Performance maintainer does...

Under the red cover is a nice flat blade to attach the positive cable, just up and to the left a little is a negative ground post sticking up. Makes it really easy to safely attach the Battery Tender alligator clips to.

That sucks! Electrical gremlins are the worst. Keep taking it in and if not fixed, know your lemon laws. Good luck! Hope you get it resolved. https://www.dmv.org/nc-north-carolina/automotive-law/lemon-law.php

Thants what I did. I got The “official” rear spoiler sold at Ford’s website. Held on only by a strip of 3M tape and silicone. I didn’t get enough silicone on the back of the spoiler and it was lifting in the back. I inserted some strips of 3M tape and locked it down with that. It’s on solid...

Wow….that front light effect is really cool! Nice!

Ken: That Roushcharged is beautiful! Still had traditional gages instead of digital? I thought I’d hate the new digital dash, but once behind the wheel, it didn’t bother me so much. Steve: Thanks! maybe I’ll make some louver converts here….lol. They also keep the interior cooler in summer...

Ciulster.: That sucks your locality makes getting the louvers such a Pain. If you go to www.americanmuscle.com, there’s a ton of reader submitter photos of those louvers in place. But if buying, www.cjponyparts.com has them cheaper. Thanks for the kind words! I was afraid those louvers...
