I appreciate your concerns and comments. They caused me to read up on any number of things. At the next oil change, I'm going to change to either a Fram Titanium, Wix XP or Mobil 1. Still rolling things around. I studied the topic of Fram filters last night and this AM. In broad strokes, there...

I can think of at least four factors: - Production can take as long as two weeks. Receipt and coordination of parts, weekends, Holidays, the schedule itself, etc. Ten days to two weeks is common - Yes, Ford's systems, the ones that update clients, are not real-time. Updates can lag by a few...

The Ford Oil Life Monitor counts down a minimum 1.92% a week, whether the car is sitting or being driven. I changed my oil for the first time at 1200+ mi / 1930 kms. I plan on changing once a year. I replaced the factory fill with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and a Fram XG filter. I will not be...

Agreed. Changes can be made at any time, up until the car is scheduled for production and a VIN is issued. Once a VIN is cut, the build is committed and no further changes can be made.

If not the day of, within 24-36 hours of scheduling for production, you should receive a notice, date and VIN.

If the overall fitment is good, a project like this might be also be great idea for a set of Winter rims/tires.

Here and on-line you can read up on the allocation process. Dealers are gifted allocations based on previous sales. Those who've sold the most cars get the most slots. Every few weeks, if not every week, each dealer meets with their regional rep, to discuss anything having to do with car sales...

I think for some colors, yes, a rocker stripe, over-the-top or door ghost stripe will compliment. The type or style of wheels will make a difference as well. I'm sure the aftermarket will provide, or a detail/body shop could fab some.

I was thinking powder coating, but I'm not sure how well it would wear on a rim. And, if you ever wanted to reverse it, what the rims would look like when done. Most of the articles I found listed something of an average price of $100 per rim. I've gotten some bits for the house powder coated...

Two variables impacting pricing will be 1) miles and 2) time, in years, selected. Warranty expires whichever comes first. For example, a 50,000 mi/8 year plan. There are two or three add-ons to consider as well. If you go to Granger's site, you can plug and play with pricing and options without...

FWIW, I don't remember anyone mentioning something or noticing a prior post on the topic. We'll see what comes about in the thread.

https://www.ford.com/support/vehicle/mustang/2024/owner-manuals/ The 2024 Warranty guide is posted. I don't have time to study any differences. A source? If they stated it changed, did they provide details?

I'm going to preface everything that follows by saying I'm not a financial advisor. I'm not certified in any way. Just a general person with some life experience. You'll could get some good, general infromation from us today, but this is not the place to get financially savy. I'll offer some...

As Ford creates plant schedules and receives parts for builds, at some point, it realizes it can commit to completing your order and building the car; this is when it is scheduled for production. VINs are produced when the car is scheduled for production. Getting the VIN is assurance Ford is...

One Member had a good idea: he bought his car, which awarded him so many Ford points; he used those to get his tender.

My Winter Storage Routine... - Full detailing - Full tank of gas - Stabil - Tire pressure set to 40 psi / 2.75 bar - Car in neutral - Wheels chocked - Parking brake NOT set - Cover car - Battery tender attached - * Varmint deterrents - ** Oil change * Some live in areas with mice and other...

https://accessories.ford.com/products/ford-performance-5-0-smart-battery-charger-maintainer I have this one installed. CTEK is very popular. The Ford unit looks exactly like CTEK's and I believe is made by them. Works well. No hassles. The unit has a connectorised plug with two pig tails. One...

Yes. Skye goes into Deep Sleep if not driven for about two weeks. My car is not a DD. It's primarily a weekend car. Modern cars have a lot of parasitic losses. Ford created Deep Sleep mode to help prevent Owners from meeting dead batteries. You can exit Deep Sleep without starting or driving...

Everyones' situation is different. And their comfort level. I prefer having some cash sitting in a Money Market account. Immediate needs for the next six to 12 months, big ticket items I suspect blowing up in the next 1-3 years (because I don't know when they will actually blow up). And...

The discussion reminds me of... While shopping around and getting quotes, see if you can get information on things like fees, penalties, and other aspects of the loan. Rate-for-rate, one loan might involve processing fees that are hefty. Another provider might not allow you to pay it off...
