  1. 2024 GT Quirks…so far

    I beg to differ, there's a pull handle on the back of the seat for getting in the rear. Worst part is thinking "memory seats!" and finding out "yeah...not really."
  2. 2024 GT Quirks…so far

    Ahem, allow me: 1- Manual recline handle on power seats? 2- "Custom" settings revert to "Normal" on startup...isn't this "My Mustang?" 3-The obnoxious carbon traps... 4-If you turn off the engine and just sit in the car for a noon time nap, some evil spirit starts rattling around under the hood...
  3. Recommendations for a 7G order

    I recommend you don't overlook the EcoBoost, it's a pretty nice car with plenty of oomph and has several advantages over the GT if you're just cruising. Although I would have preferred a 6-speed manual (especially since I could have had the Tremec), I also got the 10A transmission - at extra...
  4. Oil drain plug replacement brand recommendations?

    I went with Valvomax, made in the USA by veterans out of 304 steel. Deefill is nice, but made in China.
  5. 2024 Mustang

    Going by your profile, I would not think heat would be a problem. Its about 80 degrees hotter here in Florida and the plastic is fine. Also, with the air being so thin there you should have no problems with the holes on the grill. Say hi to Dr. Watney if you see him, tell him his potatoes...
  6. Jacking up the car?

    There's a thread about it somewhere in here, you finger is on the right spot. Be aware the hard point is the pinch weld not the flat.
  7. Carbon filter

    You be testing my fluid mechanic skeelz? Oh young Grasshoppa, 2x check my username... I consulted with my good friend Daniel Bernoulli, who checked with his good friend Osborne Reynolds, who quite assured us that the obstruction posed by the activated carbon strip and its supporting plastic...
  8. Carbon filter

    Blatantly picking an argument here cause I'm bored and I like to be the heel sometimes. Nothing personal. So, if you found a dead cockcroach in the air filter housing, would you remove it or let it stay since, as you say, no gains and a waste of time? The carbon filter is an obstruction to...
  9. Ceramic Coating or Not?

    Hey, thanks for the tip, I'll check out the IPA thing. Never occurred to me to use alcohol to wipe off grease, but it does make sense. A solvent is a solvent. One thing for sure, we've come a long way since washing the car meant Vel dish soap and paper towels. I was a big fan of Zaino, and...
  10. Ceramic Coating or Not?

    Not sure what you mean about blue Dawn. I use it because it is as close to pure surfactant as you can get easily at a cheap price. No moisturizers, waxes, or perfumes. That's why they use it to wash oil spillage from wildlife. Sheeting water is what a surfactant does (i.e. reduce surface...
  11. Almost no love for the Ecoboost

    It's not like there is no love, at least in my humble opinion. I can only speak for myself, but one BIG reason I went with the V8 mustang is I've never owned anything fun. When it came time to retire the ol Dracura, the sensible choice was a plug-in hybrid mini-SUV or similar. Something...
  12. Blue Smoke on start up....

    Sorry if I missed it, what was the problem? I see you're getting a whole engine swap, so guessing its more serious than a leaky gasket or o-ring. Blue smoke is burning oil, sometimes from a bad gasket, piston rings, valve seals, or worse. White smoke is typically a head gasket leaking coolant...
  13. Removing Dark Horse Vinyl Hood Decals

    It should be understood the appearance package is required in the blue ember, optional for other colors.
  14. 1K Oil Change

    There's a bit of gold there...to the right of the bug
  15. Removing Dark Horse Vinyl Hood Decals

    Not that I consider them hideous, but I would be tempted to replace them with old school Shelby racing stripes. Is that what you had in mind? My wife hates racing stripes though...she says the "hideous" decals are much nicer.
  16. Oil Drain Plug Specs

    Thank you very much for the assist. I had seen the parts but not the thread number, not until you posted the link to Lakeland. It still remains to be seen if the pitch is 1.5 or 1.75. Fumoto says it's a 1.75, Amazon says it's 1.5, Valvomax says "let me know when you find out." Grrr. I...
  17. Oil Drain Plug Specs

    Sorry to keep repeating, can someone verify the 2024 mustang 5.0L oil drain plug is M12-1.75? Perhaps someone with a parts diagram?
