I was totally expecting something different in this thread

#Metoo I believe the stealership has to enter it for Fordpass to be updated.

As opposed to the fun of owning a brand new car, while you’re sitting in the service department waiting impatiently for a diagnosis? Or waiting for your new car at home while the service department queues it up for eventual work? I much prefer driving the car, rather than waiting on repairs.

I mean, I discovered stuff I didn’t ask about too, but I still made the saleslady explain as many things as I’d written down and could remember. I was there .. 4+ hours - found a scratch on the hood - “that’ll buff right out !” it did, but took them the better part of an hour by itself...

Why not? Sales people have nothing but time. I’m paying for their vacation to Tahiti, the least they can do is show me how to navigate the sync screens, engage/disengage cruise, swap exhaust modes, pull down the rear seats, set radio presets, or whatever other questions I have. Unless they...

You didn’t catch this on the delivery? Why would you take delivery of a brand new car that frankly is not cheap and not check out all the features before leaving? Here’s why I ask: If you discover this on a test drive, the sales staff will browbeat the service department to fix it to make...

Honestly, Ford cannot win here. If they did this, the Mustang buyers who live in climates where humans were meant to live would be whining and crying ‘why doesn’t PP come with Pilot Cup or Trofeos?’ I do think it would be nice if they offered tire options - not size, just wear/stickiness -...

I think @LethalPerformance has been rocking the 10R80 with a whipple for some time, maybe they would be willing to comment?

And not to be a doomsayer, but... Generally speaking, if you ever have to invoke the lemon law from your state, if a loaner is provided or coverage for a rental is offered, the time the car is “down” for repairs won’t count towards the ‘triggering’ time value in the statute. IOW, let’s say your...

I agree with @Skye Notice your shifts are close to 3k rpms each. The computer has decided that its inputs when you are in 4th aren’t commanding an upshift.

Sooo.... You’re saying that the throttle isn’t a binary switch? who knew...

you can use the stock scissor... oh wait. low profile floor jack, unweight the wheel, use channel locks to remove. Easy PEASEY.

Not to get all puritanical on you or anything but you’re not getting ANY car with ‘track’ exhaust as the default, it would never pass government regs. Also, you shouldn’t be injudiciously driving everywhere in track exhaust mode. We like it, legions of soccer moms don’t. Like @Oiled said ; 2...

Have you removed the urethane spacers from the front springs? The ones that PDI are supposed to remove, but are only actually removed about 50% of the time...

I’d comment: Pay attention to the manual but use common sense. I haven’t yet checked the Mustang, but the F150 doesn’t have a diff service scheduled for like 100k miles or some ridiculous amount like that. Transmission, transfer case, etc similar. The problem with following that generous of...

yeah, when we hit, we hit hard - 60mph. I was nervously gazing at the TPMS display for about 10 minutes but it held. We already replaced it. I think forged Mustang wheels are cheaper FWIW. This specimen is $700 new.

I’m not being snarky here: it may be far less expensive to use AirPods in conversation mode with noise cancelling.

Awesome! glad you got it working as expected.

True, but you have to remember that you’re driving a machine superior to about 85% of the vehicles you’re sharing the road with, and maybe more. IOW, you may well be a well trained, skilled, track capable driver in a track capable car, but the people you’re sharing the road with are largely...

There are 2 consequences to “ignoring” this spurious alert I’m aware of, but there may be more 1) you get the ubiquitous keep hands on wheel dash alert 2) Later, you get a FULL VOLUME chime and warning to keep your hands on the wheel. This interrupts music / radio. I got this sequence on a...
