  1. OTA Update - HOW Does Ford Do This? - Over Cellular / Wifi ?

    That’s part of the reason why I bought v8 Mustang for me and dodge v8 hemi Durango for my wife. At the time (a year and a year and a half ago) I thought that this would be our last chance to be a vehicle with an ICE engine.
  2. PREMIUM-VS-REGULAR GAS FOR 2024 GT??

    That's the list of things that affect the oil life indicator, there's other factors that the system isn't intelligent enough to incorporate, for example haboobs.
  3. PREMIUM-VS-REGULAR GAS FOR 2024 GT??

    Here in AZ USA we have extreme and severe conditions, including heat, stop and go traffic, mountain driving, and dusty conditions (just had a haboob last week). Some of these things cannot be accounted for in the “intelligent” oil monitor (oil analyses can though) nor when the oil filter goes...
  4. Anyone watching WEC, there’s a couple GT3 Mustangs?

    It’s on Multimatic’s website. https://www.multimaticmotorsports.com/new-livery-debuts-for-mustang-gt3-proton-competition-imsa-and-wec-cars/ Idk 🤷‍♂️
  5. Anyone watching WEC, there’s a couple GT3 Mustangs?

    Who makes the Mustang GT3’s, Proton? I thought Multimatic makes them. Same for the Ford GT’s and the GTD right? https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/img/me/en/news/2024/6/proton-competition-and-ford-performance-stand-tall-on-the-le-man.html https://www.ford.com/performance/mustang-gt3/...
  6. Anyone watching WEC, there’s a couple GT3 Mustangs?

    Currently 1st and 11th. The Multimatic Mustang GT3’s are ahead of the corvettes.
  7. PREMIUM-VS-REGULAR GAS FOR 2024 GT??

    Not without oil analysis. Some additives and VII’s could be worn out by then. But the amount of effort to do so for the purpose of prolonging the change isn’t worth it vs. just changing the oil.
  8. PREMIUM-VS-REGULAR GAS FOR 2024 GT??

    Here’s inside the engine of my 2008 wrangler (had to replace intake gasket) with 100k miles always on full synth changed every 6 months.
  9. PREMIUM-VS-REGULAR GAS FOR 2024 GT??

    Depends upon how long one expects to keep the car. For me none of that sounds like a good idea. To wit: I did manual tranny fluid at 10,000 (Motorcraft DCT), diff oil at 8,000 (Motorcraft hypoid + xl3), oil changes at 4000 and 8000 (now on Motorcraft full synth). I have 2 extra take off wheels...
  10. Anyone watching WEC, there’s a couple GT3 Mustangs?

    It’s in TX, pouring rain. 6 hour endurance.
  11. FORD RACING is Back... Ford rebrands Ford Performance as Ford Racing & promises "First new car revealed in January"

    Took over Red Bull engines from Honda. https://www.espn.com/f1/story/_/id/35581477/ford-announces-return-formula-one-2026-red-bull
  12. Auto StartStop

    You have the automatic, 1 mpg better. I wasn’t looking at autos when I bought mine.
  13. Auto StartStop

    No the gas guzzler tax is federal. Mine’s an AZ car, it’s on the Monroney (upper left corner).
  14. Auto StartStop

    It’s supposed to save 1 mpg on the EPA test. Here’s my Monroney sticker for comparison. Mine doesn’t have it (2024 Job 1 car) so I had to pay $1000 gas guzzler tax. DH doesn’t have it so there’s an even stiffer gas guzzler tax on that, maybe because of the different gear ratios. EPA is trying to...
  15. Changed MT-82 DCT Transmission Fluid with no curse words uttered.

    “Dogam futher mucking bun of a sitch.” It was definitely a lot easier than I thought it would be. Especially for 61 year old chubby me.
  16. New Firmware update

    Was it this one? Or is there yet another? This one reset a bunch of stuff.
  17. Changed MT-82 DCT Transmission Fluid with no curse words uttered.

    I used a low profile jack (Harbor Freight) and pad (Amazon) to lift the front passenger tire onto a ramp (Rhino). Chocked both driver side wheels Had just enough room to loosen (and tighten) the fill plug with a short 8mm Allen socket (one of the auto part stores, O’Reilly’s maybe). Drained out...
  18. Oil Change - part number for the push pins ?

    These are the Ford ones for the ones that break 100% of the time. They come in 4 packs, but are sold individually.
  19. Missing bolts engine bay?

    Now I’m curious. I have a Job 1 GT from late 2023, therefore like a Dark Horse it does NOT have start/stop. I don’t have anything in those holes either. Could this be related to not having start/stop, auto vs. manual (I have a manual), Mustang vs. F150 Gen 4 Coyote (there are some internal...
  20. WHIPPLE CALIBRATION & OTA UPDATES

    That’s an older one. I got it back in January. This one is for a Check Engine light.
