I used the instructions posted by @RimaFlowss in post #65 (and a few others in different threads). I bought a DH steering wheel with paddles from Ford performance - 25% off Black Friday sale, the balance of my Ford pass points - my cost 197.00 bucks. R&R instructions were included with the...
I'm sure you will be fine if you decide to take the plunge with Forscan. It can be a little intimidating, but, and I am NO techie, and even I made a number of Forscan changes on my Mustang - (and I've been accused by many on here of not being very bright or rational because I bought an EB...
That is correct IF the device is REQUIRED by FMVSS or the EPA (clean air act). otherwise they can be disabled via any means you like (the exception being vehicles used ONLY for off road, motor sports etc) ASS is neither of those, hence the user (or dealer) can turn it off. Most dealer decline...
There is no federal requirement to have ASS systems installled in automobiles. (hence the ability to turn it off) Automakers install these to help in CAFE ratings .......
The thing that puzzles me .... The fact that the switch is "blacked" out would seem to indicate that whoever supplies Ford with that switch and / or assembly, would have to have been notified by Ford to make that change. (an engineering change notice). Ford would have rejected a misprinted...
I'm just asking out of curisoty ... Does the car actually have ASS? Will it keep running if you auto / remote start? Does it actually shut off after stopping - in drive - foot on brake? Reason I ask, some rumors that Ford was going to disconnect ASS on some models....
Yep, I get it. Ford gets it too! These are mass produced, assembly line vehicles. 200+ cars a day roll off the Flat rock production line, some are the "real deal" - with the sound, power and GT badge, the rest are just "other" Mustangs. One after another. Same sheet metal, mfg processes...
Oh ... so a twin turbo Ecoboost would make the Mustang more competitive, but, it still wouldn't be the "real deal" so why bother? Well .... I appreciate being enlightend today, and don't worry, my street racing days are long past LOL
So ... What is the "real deal" more cylinders or more HP ?? LOL LOL
Ps Not everyone needs, cares or wants the "real deal" - Hell, I didn't even know what the "real deal" was until your post - all I wanted was a decent, reliable, American made convertible ....... But now that I know...
FWIW - I just swapped my Ecoboost premium steering wheel for the DH wheel with paddle shifters. It is definitely plug and play and works as expected. My car came with a heated wheel and adaptive cruise, so the swap was straight forward - instructions were supplied with the steering wheel...
We went through the same exercise beginning in early May this year. We decided that we wanted a convertible for "road" trips, beginning spring of 2026. We are retired (no dog) and enjoy traveling the "back roads" of America. So we visited a number of Mustang club shows this summer and talked...
This is just an opinion .... I think you are over thinking this. There is a reason that the overflow bottle has "min" and "max" lines - because the "volume" of the coolant does FLUCTUATE. As long as its visible, its not leaking, it is sufficient for the engines cooling needs. As for why ...
I have used a set of drive on ramps for decades, with no complaints or concerns. When I got ready for my first oil change on the Mustang, I drove up on the ramps, put down my floor pad, drain pan, grabbed my tools, and hit the floor. It only took me about 30 seconds to realize that: removing...
Below is the factory, auto shift lever bezel - carbon fiber "wrap"
Using Forscan, I changed my gear indicator from "L" to "M" on the instrument cluster. Wrapping the bezel was the easiest way to hide the bezel indcators, about 8 bucks
No offense, but how do "YOU" know that's who Ford wrote that for? Does that mean to you, that "IF" you properly store a car, you can ignore Fords recommendations? (just curious)
Do whatever you like. You will never get a consensus "opinion" here.....
We got 4" of snow last week, today, the snow has melted, the roads are clear and dry, I plan to uncover my car and go for a drive. Snow is forcasted for tomorrow. This will be my routine until spring.
Don't forget that the "base" 2026 Ecoboost Mustang has a MSRP of only
$34,315 incl destination (lower w/ discounts). Any "affordable" competitive model "sport car" intoduction, potentially cannibalizes Mustangs sales. @AlanApplegate is likely accurate in his observation about Farley.
It's not that it's "fine" with me .... It wasn't "anything". For the 2026 model year, Ford wanted, $ xx.xx amount for this and that, I wasn't buying a 2024 or 2025, or a BMW or a Chev. or whatever. What they offered for sale, I was prepared to buy for some price. I added a door opener and...
