  1. “Honey, I just brought the car in for a tune”

    Pull the A/C fuse, let wifey drive it in the heat and then you make an emergency appointment at the dealer to get it fixed. Put the fuse back, install the SC and tell her that the dealer had to reflash the PCM as well and the car feels so much faster now. Just a thought from my devious mind.
  2. Another recall? 26E04 - Powertrain Control Module Software Update

    My recall disappeared from the app as well and it's not on the NHTSA either. The only recall I have listed is the BCM water intrusion one. I'm wondering if Ford decided to make this one an OTA?
  3. 24 Dark Horse high frequency highway vibration

    Did the dealer put a set of chassis ears on the car and then drive it at the speed the problem occurs? While they are primarily for finding odd noises, vibration can also produce noise and the ears might give an indication as to where the problem is coming from. Just a thought... Good luck!
  4. My son's new ride next to mine

    You've taught your son well !!!
  5. Poverty Pony Dash Mat to reduce glare

    I also wear prescription sunglasses and in fact I asked this same question in another thread and polarized lenses was the answer. I order my prescriptions with polarized lenses so I was surprised I still saw the glare/reflections. As it turned out the manufacturer did not give me the correct...
  6. Poverty Pony Dash Mat to reduce glare

    Same here. What I found that helps is wearing polarized sunglasses.
  7. Dark Horse Rear Differential Gear Whine at 65-70 mph

    Here is a good article on types of gear whine. https://www.yukongear.com/blogs/blog/understanding-differential-noise-part-1
  8. Has anyone here done a DIY gear swap (10R80)?

    Assuming you don't have a Torsen differential which I have no experience with I would purchase the entire already built , and not been messed with pumpkin, end to end. I've replaced/installed a couple of 8.8 Ford gear sets on older cars and it's more of an art than a science. If you want to go...
  9. Check your swollen nuts!

    Funny topic but so true. When I brought in my 2003 Mustang for tires at the local mom pop shop I have been using for many years, I had a box of 1 piece lug nuts and the owner gave me a 10% discount just for having them swap them in place of the 2 piece nightmares. Chrysler uses them as well and...
  10. Dashcam

    I just ordered one. Front and rear with 4k front 1080 rear. Did you order any of the filtering lenses?
  11. Gas prices [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Hybrid absolutely but for a small 4, it depends. My wife's 2024 VW Atlas tops out at 30 MPG on the same trip. It's a turbo 4 cylinder. It IS better around town mileage wise though than the Mustang. If I was looking for great gas mileage I would buy a hybrid in a heartbeat. I was just surprised...
  12. My 2025 Mustang GT Build (Her name is Raven)

    Beautiful car and great name !!
  13. Gas prices [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Yep. That was kind of my point, albeit buried in the post. I don't always get mileage that high but am generally around 22 mpg suburban driving . Drive aggressively and it drops into the high teens. All I'm saying is that the attack on the V8 based upon mileage and the EPA is foolish as is...
  14. Gas prices [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Gas prices aren't bothering me as driving a Mustang and having fun at my age is all I need. That being said I took a road trip this weekend and got insane mileage on my 24 GT. Mostly open highway but some local stop and go driving as well. Honestly I thought something was wrong and that I was...
  15. Power Washer Recommendation

    Is the thingy able to roll under the Mustang without having to lift the car? TIA.
