  1. Discount Tire tech claims I had no TPMS Sensor inside stock Ford wheels

    Thanks very much for the insight, this was certainly my first thought! To DT's credit, the manager working the floor this afternoon took down my car's VIN and said they'd call me this upcoming week to schedule an appointment to install a new one. He didn't make any supporting claims that my car...
  2. Discount Tire tech claims I had no TPMS Sensor inside stock Ford wheels

    I just got a new set of wheels & tires installed on my 2024 Mustang GT. The plan was to re-use all four original TPMS sensors from my 20" Ford wheels. One of the techs pulled me aside and claimed that when he unseated the tire, inside was merely a valve stem and no sensor at all. I explained...
  3. $79 Subwoofer Upgrade (Pioneer TS-A250D4 10" Sub) - IT SOUNDS GREAT!

    Ah, the radio probably introduces a lot of variables. I think anyone meaning to test the quality of a car's speaker system thoroughly should use a bluetooth/carplay/android auto connection with at least 320kb/s audio from something like Spotify or Tidal. Any time I've used the radio itself to...
  4. $79 Subwoofer Upgrade (Pioneer TS-A250D4 10" Sub) - IT SOUNDS GREAT!

    "North of the Wall" 🤣 I'm totally interested in doing this as well with my car. I find the B&O system to be pretty decent though, others aren't liking it? It's nothing spectacular but I certainly don't find much wrong with it. I regularly listen to electronic/house music with a fair amount of...
  5. I dun goofed and damaged my Brembo Brakes (broken seals?)

    Huge thanks to you both for the responses! I found a pretty solid tutorial video on this exact process here: . As I don't want to further screw anything up, I'll have my local performance shop guys remove the caliper and redo all six piston seals/dust boots, then bleed the brakes. Dealerships...
  6. I dun goofed and damaged my Brembo Brakes (broken seals?)

    During the process of installing lowering springs on my '24 GT, I needed to torque down spacer nuts on the passenger side of the car. I usually use the powered Driver seat to wedge a cooler against the brake pedal so I can get that rotor held steady and torque the spacer nuts to 150ft-lbs...
  7. What is the market like on new 2024 GTs right now?

    Most Ford dealers in my area (Scottsdale AZ) offer an instantaneous, non-haggle $4,000+ right off MSRP. I bought my '24 GT Premium 401A for 53k, sticker was 57,900. Then of course the dealership required $1299 for pre-installed window ceramic tint and nitrogen in the tires.. absolutely bent me...
  8. CD player-Underdash or Portable

    In a world with wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, and phones with a Terabyte of onboard storage + unlimited data streaming, why would anyone want a CD player in a 2024 vehicle? 😅 I wouldn't even know where you'd place the physical unit in this car.
  9. Smoke from engine after long drive

    Received the car back on Wednesday, 5/15/24. Running and driving fantastically. Dealer report attached for reference for anyone else who may encounter the same issue. Glad to put this one to rest!
  10. Ford Performance 2024 Mustang GT Track Lowering Springs Installed Photos & Review

    That looks like the perfect ride height. Some other springs I've been looking at do close to a 1.75" drop, and it makes the top of the tires just about tuck. I like the nicely fitted look inside the wheel well so much better. Going to pick these up!!
  11. Smoke from engine after long drive

    Update from dealership: a new valve cover gasket is ordered, as well as another small miscellaneous part that I didn't yet get details on. Interesting to have a D.O.A gasket for the valve cover. I guess it will either fail in the first 100 miles, or won't fail until closer to 100,000.
  12. Smoke from engine after long drive

    I'd like to report the same issue has unfortunately occurred on my car. I bought a '24 GT Premium new on Monday of this week (5/6/2024) and by Thursday with ~250mi on the dash, it's heavily smoking and emitting a burning smell from within the engine bay - driver's side. A person rolled down...
