In one instance, I was really lucky and fortunate; that time taught me the necessity of carrying a spare. Partway through a metro area, the rental I just signed for generated a TPMS alarm. I'd been driving for like 10 minutes, so I gave it some more time, to see if things would stabilize, or...

I haven't studied Ecos in detail, so IDK if the engine design changed from 2024 onward. For previous Model Years, Ford Performance and aftermarket vendors list camshaft profiles for stock replacements, some more detailed than others. Examples follow...

I do not have an affirmative answer for that. I could not ready verify (looking for pics or articles on the '24/'25) if it is safe to do so. On the S550 it is. On the S650, maybe another 7G Member who has done so will chime in.

For each topic, it's both: time and measurement. If the battery is trending down, at a certain level, the vehicle will go to sleep mode. If the car is not driven, by about the two week mark, it will automatically go to sleep. Mine does, when the car is in storage. Day 13 or 14, tender or not...

Yes, they are. When I initially went to put mine in, they kept falling out. Then, I pressed in, and they stuck. :giggle: Haven't had any of them pop back out. Three years. They are not necessary. People get them for two reasons, one aesthetic, one practical. Without jacking rails, you're left...

I did mine by myself. I remember laying on my side and installing them with simple hand tools. They'll probably be some bolts left in the unibody; they support the mobile carriage in the factory, as the car is carried through the line. Being a safety item, the bolts are simply put back with the...

The tender I received has two ends. 1. A standard 120V wall outlet, to power the tender. 2a. Pig tail cable with two alligator clips. One end attaches to the car. The other, the tender. 2b. Cable with eyed connectors, for screwing down on something. In the thread I referenced above, I...

With a traditional charger, the device provides a constant force, to charge the battery. There's little, if any, intelligence involved. With a tender/maintainer, it charges the battery up to the appropriate amount, while conditioning it. The maintainer exercises the battery, to keep it in peak...

Ford has been encouraging people to setup or confirm Over The Air updates have been enabled. I received the emails a few times, even though my Model Year is not involved with OTAs. Yes, as the updates process, they draw a lot of power. This search references several threads on the OTA model...

I'm currently on Michelin 4 A/S, like them and will continue to use them. Continental makes an equally fine offering. I don't think you can go wrong with either A/S.

Skye is the first car I've had with an in-dash display. Settling in with the car, I confirmed a few things: - Using an AutoMeter 2160, the car and gauge were never more than .5 psi / .034 bar different - The old-school, pen-style gauge, used for years, was 2 psi / .13 bar off everything; it...

Pure speculation on my part, but I think it will be produced for another, if not two more years. Using other trims as a reference (GT350/R, Mach, GT500), Ford typically produces these for three to five years. In the final year of production, Ford often creates Heritage Editions. Setting that...

Understood. I was looking at the caliper as well. To the hub, I'm not concerned about that. My discs are rusty within 30 minutes of washing the car. To get it off the surface where the pad meets the disc, I do a parade lap around the block, before putting in the garage. I like @dusman59 's...

🍿 I noticed from your profile: California. For clarification, do you live in a costal area? Reason I ask is I remember a thread or two in the 6G forum with GT500 owners, living in Florida. Some were noticing oxidation occurring on their superchargers. To them, it was an appearance only issue...

In many areas, altitude will affect the octane on offer. High altitude locations are often 91, max.

In my area, several Circle K stores used to offer Shell gas. No more. Now, they receive from "whoever". Maverick does not offer Top Tier. They may have expanded too quick though. Several stations closed. Kum and Go is another new addition. They are not Top Tier. We continue to have Shell...

Those concerned of surveillance via tech can perform a few tasks: - Disconnect the satellite antenna - Disconnect the Telematics Control Unit - Factory default Sync/Google Android - If using the Ford Pass App, delete the vehicle/s associated with it None of those will affect the driving of the...

I've attached a few references on track time, oil life and the Oil Life Monitor: - An explanation of the message flow between components - From the Mach 1 Supplement, oil change after four hours of track time - The S650 Owners Manual, printed page 439, lists the same interval But yes, your...

I can only speak to the S550. Haven't studied the following in the S650, but I imagine it's the same. Bluetooth: yes. Primarily for door and trunk use with fob, personal devices, security. Some tech using this link is always on, some, via the dash, controlled by the operator. Good for about 30...
