  1. Car Starts Loud... Then Quiets Down after 45 Sec. Or So.

    When in quiet mode and using the start button, the intensity of the sound should be lessened. The behavior, where the car starts at a higher RPM, then settles down after 30-45 seconds, will continue. The car will still start loud in Quiet Mode, but should not be as loud as in Normal Mode. This...
  2. First oil change...what a pain in the ass 😆

    Curious, is the 820S installed on the engine now? Gen4 is a new engine, I know. On the Gen3 and in the M1, the 820S would not fit due to clearance issues; it was too wide.
  3. Gasoline options and recommendations

    https://www.toptiergas.com/gasoline-brands/ I looked for Casey or Murphy as being a Top Tier gasoline. Neither is listed as being one. Top Tier gas is tagged as such for having proper amounts of detergents, to help with the engine's internals. Long-term, it's best to use Top Tier. Regarding...
  4. 24GT - Driving Impression from a noob

    - It sounds like you're lugging the engine. As mentioned, consider different drive modes or manually down-shifting. Sport+ is a step up from Normal, while retaining traction control - You and the car are getting used to one another. I've got a manual, and have been driving them forever. But it...
  5. 4/6 months Mustang at the dealership workshop facing issues

    I didn't read anything about Ford buy back or Lemon Law. It's my understanding when Ford buys a car back, a case file with Ford is opened and a review is involved. Ford is the approval authority to buy the car back. In the state of TX, the state (if involved) attempts to mediate an issue...
  6. Disable Telemetry?

    https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/4g-modem-disabling-instructions.146860/ https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/is-your-s650-spying-on-you.160530/#post-3263148 The Telematics Control Unit is what you'd like to disable, disconnect or both. The threads above will explain the process...
  7. 4/6 months Mustang at the dealership workshop facing issues

    It seems you have two broad pathways to resolve the issue: 1) the state's process and 2) Ford's, either of which could be assisted with the help of a lawyer. My interpretation from the Texas DMV website is the law defines a process involving arbitration. The customer (or their representative)...
  8. 4/6 months Mustang at the dealership workshop facing issues

    https://www.txdmv.gov/motorists/consumer-protection/lemon-law OP, sorry to read you've been having such problems. You've already been digging into options and ways ahead. FWIW, I see two pathways: 1) try another dealer and start over. Dealers are not paid well for warranty work. And this...
  9. How many miles were on your car at delivery?

    An average from this thread is about 8 mi / 13 km at pickup. However, Ford will randomly pull cars to drive through their test track at Flat Rock, for additional QC checks. The average of these latter cars is around 20 mi / 32 km and below. Putting a car on the track is not an indication of...
  10. Limbo?

    Shipping any of these vehicles, especially by rail, can take time. Vehicles are moved in full or close to full carriages and trailers. At each waypoint, shipments are broken up and sent their separate ways. They won't move from that rail yard or depot until the boxcars and trailers are full yet...
  11. .

    FWIW, I'll summarize my thoughts on these topics. I'm not making excuses for Ford. Your interests are valid. Given context, I'd not be concerned. Each of these issues, if they do occur, are covered by the factory warranty. IMO, I'm not seeing a greater increase in problems than other...
  12. Front license plate bracket - is it installed at factory or dealer

    Salut. Welcome to the forums. :like: https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/introduce-yourself-to-mustang7g.156050/ The assembly was from ZL1 Add-ons. https://zl1addons.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMItrCErOX1hAMVLzqtBh1mJAWSEAAYASAAEgKodPD_BwE A quick glance of their catalog and it...

    Attached is a fitment guide that could be of help.
  14. Is Your S650 Spying on You?

    This thread highlights another topic: user data. The car is capable of saving Wi-Fi password hashes, cell provider data, phone lists, navigation references and all that. I haven't looked into it, but the S650 should give the option to factory-default all infotainment systems, erase all your...
  15. Is Your S650 Spying on You?

    If FORSCAN-like access is later achieved, it could be turned-off that way. As @Decio mentioned, there are User Interface options available now. Personally, I like the fuse. There's no way anyone is listening with it physically turned off. Some find the module itself and remove it or...
  16. Is Your S650 Spying on You?

    If you go to Page 292 in the 2024 Owners Manual, you'll be given a map of the Body Control Module (BCM)-A unit fuse panel. Fuse #8 is in-line with powering the car's Telematics Control Unit. Removing that fuse will disable the systems and software of concern, without affecting the drivability of...
  17. Complimentary Ford Pick Up & Delivery and Ford Mobile Service — Vehicle Service That Fits Your Life

    The answer is, "Yes." Ford Mobile technicians are capable of removing the belly pan. My '22 had a minor Body Control Module recall. I was able to schedule mobile service for the software patch. I chatted with the tech while he was completing his task. The mobile vans are standardized to all...
  18. Catch Can or delete PCV

    You are right. I have corrected and updated my earlier post.
  19. Catch Can or delete PCV

    So, there's a few things going on. If you look at the top of a Gen 3 engine, you'll see two PCV hoses: 1. Right side of engine (facing car). Goes from front of throttle body to the valve cover. 2. Left side of engine. Goes from intake manifold to the valve cover. Connection has PCV valve...
  20. Catch Can or delete PCV

    The primary source for the gases of interest is the underside of the pistons, what gets past the rings, all of which are part of the same cavity in the bottom of the engine. The oil galleys from the heads to the pan are not completely full of oil at any given time; this is proven by the gases...
