  1. Jack Stand Placement

    There are two, general rim/tire setups: staggered and squared. Staggered is when the front and rear rim and tire widths differ. Many drivers and factory rim/tire combos are staggered, often optimized for performance. Squared is when all four rims and tires are the same size. A simpler setup...
  2. Jack Stand Placement

    I'm running a square setup: 285/35/19, on LMR SVE rims, 19x10, with a +35 offset.
  3. Low fluid levels on Fords to save a few bucks?

    The condition of the 10R80 being low on fluid is not uncommon. While not seen on a consistent basis, it does happen. In the S550 forums, it was one of the first things to check when the trans was not shifting as well as the owner thought it should be. My thinking is, being an new auto with all...
  4. First oil change constructive comments appreciated.

    https://www.jlosc.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopV1F7d19uu2vl8lcPC7EK5xRq5svj2yWMVK_dgHEuw_N7z2Dq3 I use one from J&L. Others prefer the one from Ford Performance. Either would be fine. It's a personal preference what one chooses. There may be other manufacturers out there that are just as good. Using...
  5. First oil change constructive comments appreciated.

    I went straight from factory fill to PUP. I run oil analysis at each change. The engine is healthy. From Blackstone's comments and my own experience, it takes two to three oil changes to see all the characteristics of the new oil. That's not a good thing or a bad thing. It's just a thing. And...
  6. Dealership Damaged My Bumper During Warranty Work – What Are My Options?

    To All, - Document the car as best possible when dropping off. Photos, a short video, etc. Confirm with the Service Advisor, on their ticket, what condition anything is in. Be as specific as you like. This does two things: 1) it formally documents the condition of the car, 2) it lets people...
  7. Official GRABBER BLUE Mustang S650 Thread

    I'm still processing what might present well between the tint of the windows and the wheels. Something I've suggested for stripes, side or over top: construction paper and scotch tape. Maybe colored tape. It's conceptual, right? Whatever you think might look good, buy something and place it in...
  8. Check you car with a fine tooth comb when you pick it up

    https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/new-car-acceptance-checklist.158844/ Sorry to read of the damage. For those picking up your cars in the future, I was given 72 hours to return and discuss any shipping damage. After that, the window for Ford filing a claim with the shipper would be...
  9. Chasis number

    I'm not sure there is anything you can do. The car's VIN is on the dash, in the door jamb, on the engine block and certain chassis points. At assembly, the lineman reaches into a pool of chassis number placards and places it on the dash. The action is completely random. I looked through all...
  10. Check the oil level on your new Mustangs ASAP

    That's disappointing, to say the least. :facepalm: Curious, I read Ford's Pre-Delivery Inspection checklist. While the attached specifically says check the windshield washer bottle and coolant reservoir, it says nothing about checking the oil level. That's a fail. It does say check all under...
  11. Power steering locked while driving

    Updating some items for my stash, posting them here. In the first photo, an entire EPAS rack assembly. The motor is most forward. The belt drive, to the left. Steering column tie point, to the right. This is a Ford rack, not necessarily one for a S650. Disregard any PN# references. In the...
  12. Power steering locked while driving

    :giggle:. I downloaded that pic from another Member's post, either here or at the 6G site. I hoover up stuff like that all the time. So many people post great examples of topics. :like:
  13. Power steering locked while driving

    For reference purposes, I'm attaching some information on Ford's EPAS, the Electric Power Assisted Steering; it relies on physical components, electronic connections, software and modules. The acronyms help in understanding the Ford document. Modern cars are software and electronic-dense.. ABS...
  14. Questions about oil change

    After putting some fresh oil on the O-ring, I tighten mine by hand only. Each filter I've used, there are turn instructions available. I've never had one come undone. If anything, all the heat cycles make it a PITA to remove it later. LOL. Things like this, if there are not specific...
  15. Questions about oil change

    No, doing your own maintenance will not affect the warranty. Ford has a reasonable expectation the owner can provide supporting documentation showing: 1. The maintenance schedule was followed 2. Replacement parts met or exceeded the Ford requirement Photos, receipts, log book entries, etc...
  16. 2024 mustang gt Is this noise normal? 30 sec video attached

    https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/noise-coming-from-left-side-of-engine-need-help-identifying-the-noise.213601/ I think it's the sound of the PCV valve. See the enclosed link, which highlights others noticing the same.
  17. Air Filter

    It would benefit RamAir to update their web site, instructions, blog and support areas. RamAir appears to be a UK company, with a US distributor. They sell two broad types of filters: those made of foam and others made of pleated "nanofiber". The oil referenced is to support the foam filter...

A PP or DH might have suited your driving style...
  19. Clutch Pedal Extender?

    I'd see it in several models over the years. I Googled Ford just now. This is an option, in the larger vehicles (F150, Expedition, Excursion, Navigator). I suspect the electronics take space and weight.
