@mustang mick ....99% of the time great reactions, peace signs from other Mustang owners, waves from non-Mustang owners, positive comments when stopped at lights or in parking lots - (my 2024 GT is a 'vert too) and yes, a lot want to race. Some who want to race are serious contenders WRZ that...
I LOVE this conversation, seriously I do. I say - AFFECTIONATELY - we spend 50% of the time on this forum discussing aftermarket H and X pipes, deletes and exotic exhaust systems that will make our rides ROAR and BARK and 50% of the time trying to quiet the cold starts. I have so much fun...
@72Skiddoo ...... looked at that exact combination at a dealers a week ago. It was absolutely stunning. You will love it. It had rim up-grade, Bose, 10R80 auto trans, active exhaust, space gray seats and molten magenta paint. The SG seats and the MM paint colors were meant for each other. The...
@robvas ..... you are correct. I asked a Ford tech about this and he said that's what Ford said and when he was taking a course a couple of years ago he asked why. The reply was that Ford thought the filters could work loose. He said all the guys taking the course had a laugh at the next break...
@steveo1960 ..... don't feel bad. I believe it was a Steeda video where they did an oil change on their first 2024 GT. When he thought he had finished he had installed the front of the belly pan so that the leading edges were sticking out and it would have been blown off the car - which to his...
@dtillsstang ..... about the oil filter. With a wipe of oil on the rubber gasket the filter will seat easily. Turn it until it is snug then (some say another 1/4 turn) I just tighten it a bit further. You'll know as it won't want to turn anymore. Don't use a filter wrench to tighten it as that...
@dtillsstang ...... I say this just for the sake of "maybe it's a bit interesting". Quite a few years back we were fooling around on the dyno with a 350 that we had stroked to a 383. It was a long weekend and we had some time. There had always been good-natured shop "ball busting" about what...
@dtillsstang .... started changing oil with my grand father when I was 10. He built all manner of custom car and marine racing engines and had a dyno. Last report I had was that Conoco made the Motorcraft oil and well known VI packages for the Motorcraft oil were made by S-Oil to Ford's...
@dtillsstang .... yes, you can do it. IMO forget the Amsoil and any of that other over hyped crap. That crap is more expensive and often not nearly as good as Ford Motorcraft oil.....so, IMO use Ford Motorcraft FULL synthetic oil and the Ford oil filter. Change your oil as hot as you can stand...
Give the credit to Tony Unica who posted the original video and comments that went world-wide on Mustang Forums and Hein at DIYvan.com who got the blueprints directly from Ford to fabricate the covers after discussing the issue with Ford and obviously convincing them that there was enough of a...
@mrnavy2 ..... bondo and fiberglass will work fine with any medium, if you wish to. From your picture it looks like there are fibers where the break line is on the right hand side of the damage? If there are that is a composite material. I have not used any form of "plastic weld" but have used...
@mrnavy2 ..... the answer depends on how much you want to spend and how handy you are. If you can push the area a bit from behind to pop it out a bit that would be a good start then fiberglass patch the area, apply bondo with fiberglass strands, sand, prime, paint and clear coat. There will be a...
@CucurĂş ...... back in the day when the family had our own dyno and built car and boat HP engines we tested a lot of air filters. The crap ones (think family hardware stores) could collapse at high induction rates but, for example, the Motorcraft OEM air and oil filters were just as good as any...
@MMM981 ..... no question color schemes are personal. I like @DT-GT advice - maybe give them a second look? I bought a 24GT Premium Convertible with vapor blue metallic paint and space gray seat "insert panels" same with the door inserts. It had sat on the lot for 6 months as all the young...
I constantly hear I can't understand why my transmission, engine etc. is overheating when I am just driving it in a "spirited" manner or what I am doing is "normal". Neither term has any meaning whatsoever. as there are no meaningful empirical data points to those adverbs/adjectives. Even...
@Gregs24 ..... because when people post comments that can result in serious damage to a vehicle or be harmful to them it should be our obligation to reference (and more authoritative - in this case Tony Unica and Hein at DIYvan.com) countermanding posts. Hopefully, now that Ford has now...
@hoodscoops ..... I remove the dipstick from behind the strut brace. After scratching the brace I now drape an old cotton sock over it to prevent damage. It's still a knuckle buster.
