MyKey works for me....... It's my key and I won't give it to anyone else.
Well not entirely true. State inspection will be one instance. I prefer to wait while this is done to lessen the odds of abuse.
I believe Shelby restricts certain parts sales to Shelby owners. In other words, they require proof of Shelby ownership prior to purchase. Not sure exactly what parts are restricted. I think it's easy to understand why they would do this.
As others have stated 150 ft. lbs. If an aftermarket company is making a product that is unable to meet factory specs. said product would be a fail.
I suppose you could check with the manufacture to be sure. I would expect they will confirm factory spec. of 150 ft. lbs. As stated above...
You could be charred by the time rescue arrives with the "jaws of life".
And by the way this is a serious issue I'm bringing up.
Many manufactures that use OEM type "Lambo" or "Gull wing" type doors have changed their designs because of this issue. Just one example below.
"The Mercedes SLS...
Here are a few things to consider...
1. Possible insurance coverage issues should an accident occur.
2. The odds of a roll over (upside down) accident are slim but.... Better hope it never happens and you want to exit the vehicle... because you won't be able to (easily).
3. Roll over + fire =...
I've watched this thread as it has evolved over the past few days. Read most of the comments etc. etc. My guess is whoever had this car was not a true Mustang enthusiast or passionate car person (1st owner). They may have thought they were. My first thought was someone on the younger side. I'm...
If you want to 100% sure remove one lug nut of each type (locking & regular). Not on the same wheel so you can avoid jacking and supporting the vehicle. Set them beside each other and the delta there should match the delta when installed. This assumes the overall conical seat height is the same...
Have you tried a face to face with the General manger at the dealer? If not, that is the best starting point. Way harder to avoid someone who wants a face to face meeting.
From a legal standpoint it will be very hard to prove this without before and after photos. Yes, you know they did this and...
There are a lot of unknowns here. Lenders can require a device such as this under certain circumstances and bury the disclosure within the finance documents that nobody has (or takes) the time to read and ultimately get signed.
I hope the OP figures this out.
Edit - Too many unknowns here to...
1. Have you received any alerts?
2. Were you provided any info on this system?
3. If this was for your benefit the dealer should have walked you through the setup process such as they do for FordPass.
4. Odds are this if for tracking purposes only (Repo).
5. Additional concerns due to them...
I enjoy reading trending threads on this forum including the banter and wit they invoke.
I now feel inclined to do one of the following:
A. Grab a drink (Bourbon), go to the garage and kick the tires on my Mustang while cursing Ford.
B. Grab a drink (Bourbon), go to the garage, stare at my...
That is considerable worse than the first video you posted. Definitely something wrong. Agree with what others are saying i.e., oil leaking past the valve seals appears to be the issue.
This will probably be a frustrating ordeal however, it can and will be fixed. I would get it in to a competent...
I've seen several videos of the blue smoke on startup. To me yours looks more white than blue i.e., more like condensation.
Also, it appears you changed your exhaust system. If so, how long ago?
Ford had an issue with the left-hand side cylinder head which "apparently" only affected 11 vehicles manufactured over a 3 day period between Jan. 30th - Feb. 1st. Yours is outside of that timeline for sure. Is this issue really only related to 11 vehicles... hard to say.
Are you sure it's blue...
