It could be difficult to time it, maybe you could trip it, but find a way to have both cooling fans running while someone is listening under the hood. IDK if FORScan or something like it could be used to force both fans on for the purposes of t-shooting. FDRS or Ford procedure? Or, maybe as...

With the most recent update of FordPass, I've noticed at least one change. Previously, with the car locked and sitting for several days, undisturbed, I could open the app, down-swipe, and listen to the car update with Ford. Now, I can't do that. I confirmed this last weekend for the OLM...

Over time, yes. Putting a cover on a clean car, recently washed, no problem. After one drive, I would not consider any cover as an option. I'm also not a fan of covers in view of passersby; they imply something of value or interest underneath. Short-term, several things could be done to prevent...

The colors of the car, calipers, wheels and tint all came together really well. Congrats. :like::clap::party:😁

https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/recall-24s36-leaking-hydraulic-clutch-pressure-line.161527/ Sorry to read of dealers continuing to do things like that. In the thread above, the first post, is the actual procedure, none of which involves driving. I'm glad things worked out for you...

Ford will use the most cost-effective means to meet the specification. It's difficult to see the Mustang getting any better than a blend. Further, the default selection when getting a dealer oil change is blend. Most owners are not as attentive with break-in as we are; a blend will assist with...

Yes, that's the baseline. For someone driving a Ford engine in a common use scenario, about 10,000 miles or once-a-year. The attached gets in the weeds, but gives an idea of how the Oil Life Monitor works. Temperature, RPM, driving time and time itself effect the rate of change from 100% to 0%...

Skye is a Gen3 Coyote, with a factory oil cooler. The oil change specification is 10 quarts / 9.5 liters. My first oil change I performed an oil analysis. All results were nominal. In the comments, Blackstone mentioned it would take 2 - 3 oil changes to completely flush anything from the new...

Getting people physically back to their trains, scheduling and inspections will take a few days, but the Canadian government has stepped in and ordered everyone back to work. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwy586pwk2ko "Canada's federal government has moved swiftly to end an industrial...

Your baseline is anything that meets Ford's recommendations. If you'd like to exceed that, great. I do believe in and use a full synthetic. Dino gets the job done, but synthetics are designed to support a specific purpose, in this case, engine performance or longevity, whereas dino is used for...

https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/22/canada-national-rail-lock-outs-teamster-union-kansas-city A rail strike in Canada. Coyote engines are at least one thing sourced from Canada. Coupled with just-in-time delivery systems, there could be significant impacts to Ford, not just...

It could. I found some references in Porsche forums, people doing deep dives on where placed and how oriented, so as to get the most accurate readings. But these were folks tracking consistently. People who had dedicated track cars. IMO, companies selling dedicated software, hardware and...

For my own insight, I was curious what Ford was using in these apps as a reference for movement. Later, I began to consider both physical and logical inputs. When Ford initially rolled out Track Apps in 2012, the reference source for movement was an internal accelerometer. I'm also finding...

The 10R80 uses Mercon fluid, which is red. Does the transmission seem a bit off? The engine running hotter than expected?

Hi @DCBuckeye , We have a discussion of tracking devices, hidden, being later found in at least one new car. https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/hidden-tracking-device-plugged-into-obd2-port.162356/ I thought it'd be a good idea to add the following to the New Car Acceptance Checklist...

Several Mustang die cast prototypes have been listed the last few months, almost all of which have been S650s. The following is for a GTD. I suspect we'll see multiple S650, 1:64 scale models at retail throughout the Christmas season...

That's a cool find. If I'm understanding the comments correctly, the PCM would be thinking the engine is running hotter than expected, and then go into limp mode. At one extreme, it could be so bad the temps appear maxed out. But the resistance could also be off just enough to report at the...

It's becoming more and more common those are left attached and abandoned in-place, used car dealers especially. Some are installed in a way they can easily be removed. Others are F'd up and F up the wiring. Countless cars and trucks are currently circulating with these systems installed, their...

Roger. Ya, have a sit-down and discuss the concern in-general with the Service Advisor. And the car is not displaying the wrench light? No alarms something is wrong?
