It's a culture that starts at the top. Bill Ford stepped aside to let Alan Mulally rescue Ford but under Ford's leadership, stock market value has a higher priority than the product. Don't let his public comments cloud the true greed that motivates the leaders of publicly traded companies as...

Is the restrictor located within the the OEM elbow fitting and does the McLeod kit eliminate it? I'm spoiled how well the auto rev-match works on my Mach 1 down-shifts and I haven't noticed any problems with clutch engagement, upshifting or downshifting. It's rev hang on up-shifts that...

X2 on the plastic trim removal tool. It doesn't take much to pry it off and the tether will prevent losing it if it there's no tow hook installed.

Total parts cost (ballpark) under $20K?

Strait from the mouths of Marketing. Dark Horse SC (w/7-speed DCT) vs GT and conventional DH with an add-on supercharger. I'd like to see how Ford handles the 10R80 warranty claims after being subjected to 7500 RPM, 810 hp, and 615 lb.-ft..

Ride is a subjective characteristic but based on my Mach 1 HP, Magniride with street tires is the key to a comfortable ride. Tramlining is such a hassle on the street with sticky tires but once you install a good set of street tires like the PS4S and use the softest shock setting, the ride is...

Please elaborate, I'm considering forced induction and positive displacement Whipple or centrifugal ESS seem to be the go to options for Coyote power adders.

Good luck, let us know if the bleeder makes any difference in requiring endless pedal depressions to get all the trapped bubbles out.

My coolant level remains between the Max-Min level and that's after four years. I had a van with a warped plaastic thermostat housing that would seep coolant but leave no visivle trace. I had to add a few ounces of coolant every month and took forever to track it down. It looks like it's time...

Cost cutting at it's finest. Ford changes what "non-visible" components they paint, and on what vehicle lines, on a regular basis and it's purely cost driven; balancing concerns are insignificant. Unpainted drive shafts and axle assemblies are especially noticeable on trucks and Ford has...

Correct, the 10-speed was demanded by Ford Marketing to counter the GM and ZF 8-speeds but it's just silly and busy, even for the truck applications. Ford Engineering was able to at least prevail on simplifying the even more silly GM based FWD 9-speeds to 8-speed and 7-speed (calibration...

Just an FYI - My Mach 1 steering wheel came from Flat Rock equipped with the heating element w/wiring, even though I didn't order the option. Ford's no dummy, ForScan can't override the BCM to activate it.

If you decide to go with the skinny doughnut spare tire approach, a cheap alternative to the aftermarket kits is to appropriate the aluminum spare tire from a Hyundai/Kia. I adapted one for my son's 2022 GT w/PP1 Brembo with the correct tire diameter (requires partial inflation to nest into the...

The 2 Ohm resistor trick didn't keep the airbag light off on my 2022 Mustang when I installed aftermarket seats without air bags. Please keep us posted on your progress.

Thank you but I'll pass, I looked on Roush's web site and this is all I could find: 2.5" and no mention of 304 alloy? https://www.roushperformance.com/products/2015-mustang-gt-resonator-delete-h-pipe?srsltid=AfmBOoonWJuqqiP4e3u9ftuz30UbfUMnEryrF9EdOaXZBiVf_CXA46mq

If it's 3" diameter, I'm interested.

Since the oil pump gears wouldn't know the difference between NA or FI and the crank sprocket loads are also isolated from loads driving the supercharger, why do I keep reading about concerns with the OEM powdered metal gears, especially with manual transmission applications? Is it more about...

Does disconnecting the battery during storage or periods of inactivity confuse the BMS logic?

It's kind of a moot point, the the alignment shop will position the cradle without any need or help from the "alignment spacers". if, in the future, you decide to drop the cradle, you can mark the positions of the cradle bushings on the body interface before loosening the cradle bolts and...

The bolts are not torque-to-yield so they are probable fine to re-use with blue locktite. However, I don't trust dealerships to touch any of my cars and I don't know if they did any damage with overzealous impact gun use? Good move having a trusted shop intervene, I pay a premium for a...
