@Doug Watson ..... very sorry you have to go through this but really, really happy with Ford's response. I knew all along the engine was defective and hoped Ford would respond. In a while this will just be a bad memory and you will have a brand new engine! :cool:
@ZXMustang.....hard to follow your logic. yes, if a "stock" car was driven 100K on 87 - I agree no damage would be done "in most circumstances (love how you qualify your comments) - unless knock/detonation/ping sounds were heard. If so the 87 was low octane or the car was driven too hard for...
@ZMMustang.....so with the factory tune you "ride the knock sensors" if you don't use 91. Perfect - really good for the engine. What did I just say? Tuners who tune to then have to counteract their work to - your words - give the engines a "fighting chance". Their is lag in any tune either OEM...
@AZ_Ryan I have modified my post to be more respectful, as I should be. IMO knock sensors for adaptive timing (even self retarding variable camshaft timing) that detect "ping" pre detonation etc. are often referred to as "oh shit" meters because by the time the detection and retardation are done...
@GWink ..... the two most important things you can do for your coyote engine engine is use FULL synthetic oil and use 91 octane. Particularly from 2024 on you have a 12:1 compression engine. Using 87/89 in them is just stupid. Buy a crap car if you can't afford 91 then it won't matter when you...
The organic pads on my friends older mustang cover the rims with black dust. The oem pads on my 2024 Tt leave nothing on the rims/tires. A bit of road dust the odd time but no brake dust. Chage the pads.
.....yeah sure. Friend has a C8. Will is beat my GT - of course, but then he drives a clown car that looks like s child's transformer toy only with $hitttier characteristics. Couldn't care less about it's (C8's) performance, it's still a clown car. Cheap copy of crap euro fluff. No matter what...
@RCFMustang ...... great conversation starter. There is only one sane option for a Mustang windshield replacement that is OEM. The cheaper ones are junk. If you own a convertible (I do) then windshield selection is even more crucial. I replaced the windshield on my former 2014 Mustang...
@krisk ...... we changed oil on cars we rallied and raced and our racing marine engines after every race. Ford and GM oil count downs used to be based on time. If they are now considering other data points like RPMs, shift points and temperatures that would be awesome and actually reflect the...
@MegaMan ......and the best part is, at the end of the day we get to drive off in a Mustang EB/GT/DH .....and the other guy is driving away in a corvette .....a knock-off wanna be euro car.
@HeyMoe! ..... Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. There are several interesting discussion points. The new "salting" of roads should be called "brining" of roads. The liquid brine they now spray stays on the roads (and subframes) longer. The "old" salt crystals were...
@Cauf E. Bean ..... on my 2024 GT with 'high" package I have adaptive cruise control and an awesome wireless connectivity, Android and Apple voice search. More than I need on a sports/muscle car. All that other stuff is on our SUV.
@AZ_Ryan .....actually the DIYvan.com repair IS waterproof ......and "dude" $100 to prevent frame damage on a Mustang GT is worth every penny.....still waiting to see the cost of the new Ford repair.
@Kaps ..... I agree 100% .....water WILL run down inside that patch if its not sealer and then run along the inside frame members. At least Ford has acknowledged the problem but the fix is IMO not nearly as good as DIYvan.com. $100 and 10 minutes a side. Inexpensive, fast and effective.......and...
@AZ_Ryan ....... wait for it - the price from Ford for the new kit. I would be very surprised if you get that for less than $100 .... and it's still a screw-on.
