Given the situation you described, boosting your current ride doesn't seem worthwhile. Considering the mechanical aspects, you will probably need to make some adjustments to suspension and tires, to work with the additional power and use it effectively. You're flipping cars every year. Either...

Older cars with carbureted systems, Techron can work quite well. At idle, we used to pour one bottle down the intake, the engine just about to stall. The bottle empty, we'd turn the engine off and let it sit for an hour, the idea being the concentration would help clean up the intake system...

I can think of a few factors as to how the RTR is being valued: - The RTR trades infrequently. The market or guides might not know how to price the vehicle - The spec and performance of an RTR model and how it compares to the GT and DH - A now two-year old car and what's probably the greatest...

I found threads as far back as eight years discussing this topic. Feedback was anywhere from 5-30 minutes. Some posted schematics, highlighting how many of the interior lights remain on (like the trunk) for some time, even with the car locked. These circuits are timed to shutoff. I could not...

I'm attaching some reference links. These are not DH-specific, but will have feedback from others...

I've thought of two ideas. 1. Ceramic tint across the windshield. In the US, tint across the windshield is often illegal. But it can be purchased in shades that are 70 and 80%. It'll help keep the area cooler than it normally would be. Consider tint in the other windows as well. 2. When...

Thanks. That's a nice tool that'll save many a lot of grief.

Does it then eventually fix itself? How fixed the first time? How long (in days) was the car resting before this update? Do you suspect the battery was low and something happened?

With general tools and sensible steps, you shouldn't have to worry about the vinyl becoming damaged. I've had similar decals on my hood for three years: they look as good as when new. A simple mitt, good soap and modest pressure works well. One step I take I see some people do and many don't...

It should have. The funnel is kind of hidden in the S550. I suspect it's in the same place in the S650. If you cannot find one, go to local parts store or order one on-line. Edit, To the uninitiated, the capless system used by Ford has two flaps in the immediate vicinity of the filler neck...

I store my vehicle during the Winter months and use Stabil, the one marked "storage" in the pink bottle. At the station, with the small white funnel (found in your trunk) inserted, empty the bottle of Stabil into the tank. Remove funnel. Fill the tank with gas. Drive home, about 10-15 minutes...

https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/manual-6-speed-10-1200-miles-grinding-2nd-3rd-shift.171972 I feel like you and @HighFlyer are experiencing the same?

Yes. The main chassis ground, near the shock tower; this allows BMS to capture the current flow from the tender and ultimately to the battery. The other lead, the "+", is attached to the fuse panel. Attaching here allows for clean runs and lessens the chance of any entanglements. Here's one...

Those are some topics I should clarify. I have a 6G car with a manual trans. As mentioned earlier, one concern is the pads sticking, especially after detailing like a lot of us do for storage prep. To help prevent that any time of year, I do a slow parade lap around the block before parking...

I've noticed that in my car since purchase and consider it normal. IMO, load shedding and/or battery preservation in Fords can happen two ways: I've seen that, connected to a tender or not, my car will alert me to sleep mode at about the two week mark. Consistently. Always has. This aligns...

I'd think so. In the variable of time (one year), I'd say no, it would not be different. But with respect to engine operation, I could see some differences, the algorithm being tailored to that engine. The engineers at Ford built the OLM. With a stock car, I think it works fine. But... -...

Stickers like this are associated with a product made in the tens of thousands or greater, changing hands several times, with a lifespan of up to 20 years plus. The placard references topics involving emissions, roadworthiness, safety and maintenance standards. I realize these things can...

I've never checked the draw when starting, but some engines could take as much as 200A of current to spin over. Once running, the alternator assumes the load (ever higher in modern vehicles) and charges the battery. But at four miles and ten minutes, that's not a lot of time. When I was...

It depends. The Oil Life Monitor works in two ways: - Time. The counter ticks down 1.97% each week, even if the car is sitting. This is to ensure the owner is reminded of an oil change once a year, with an anticipated 10,000 mi / 16,000 km service interval - Operation. Given driving duration...

I follow the Oil Life Monitor, which works in two ways: - Time. The counter ticks down 1.97% each week, even if the car is sitting. This is to ensure the owner is reminded of an oil change once a year, with an anticipated 10,000 mi / 16,000 km service interval - Operation. Given driving...
