A note of caution for anyone purchasing any CF pieces, any aftermarket items really: test fit (butt up against the car, compare to factory) before actually attempting to install. Last year, I purchased a popular CF dash piece, recently re-stocked, from a well-known vendor. I assumed it would...

From the 2022 Ford Warranty Guide: "Damage Caused by Alteration or Modification The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover any damage caused by: • alterations or modifications of the vehicle, including the body, chassis, electronics or their components, after the vehicle leaves the...

This gets into ease of theft, location and market demands. When it was discovered older Kias and Hyundais could be stolen in moments, people began boosting them like crazy. https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkaq9z/us-cities-have-a-staggering-problem-of-kia-and-hyundai-thefts-this-data-shows-it...

Attached is the IRS reference. "Donors who purchase items at a charity auction may claim a charitable contribution deduction for the excess of the purchase price paid for an item over its fair market value. The donor must be able to show, however, that he or she knew that the value of the item...

Something hard laying across that area (seatbelt, a tool) with the door then closed. Something wide enough to not only compress the door seal, but crush the jam. And the door closed with force. An item could fall across the area and damage it, but I'd think it leave a scratch or chip versus a...

Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) have a certain amount of blow-by: gases and emissions which make it past the piston rings and into the crankcase. The engine is vented, so as those gases increase, they can escape without creating unwanted pressure on the opposite side of the rings, gaskets...

I attempted to take some photos of my K-member and how it meets the unibody. Couldn't get a good shot. But that review, and seeing the video yet again, confirmed the areas of interest on the S550 are exposed. On the S650, they're covered by the underbody panel. Going back to the hole and the...

IMO, 1:33 in your video shows the void best. I'll take another photo, not as close up, of any support I have in that area. Correct: I do not have any aero or covers enclosing my rocker area. Anything aero in front stops with my belly pan; nothing encloses it on its back side. I do have a...

Page 371 of the 2024 Owner's Manual says 10 quarts, 5.0 liter. It does not differentiate between GT and DH. Edit:

Reference: 2022 Mach 1, HP, Driver's Side wheel well. Picture 1: Looking down at the wheel well, which is one, seamless piece. The bulge in the well I believe is where the channel begins on the S650s. The plastic rocker aero panel is at the base. Hold your right hand flat in the air...

I wouldn't go there, primarily for the reason listed above: moisture trapping. A secondary reason: have you ever tried to remove foam once it's been sprayed? It's near impossible. You'll never remove all of it. Foam insulation works* by creating a series of very small pockets or voids. A...

I'm afraid you're asking a question you'll probably never get the answer to. Maybe there was something so wrong they couldn't recover the car. Being in CAN 🇨🇦, this might have had an impact. CAN vehicles have their own production runs, like others going overseas. CAN, EU and AU specs have some...

I wouldn't be concerned about the VIN. Ford did the same for the Mach 1; they differentiated from the base, GT, and M1. They did not further define it by HP or non-HP. I've used USAA for a variety of insurance purposes for the last several years. My Mach 1 policy mirrors yours. I'm paying close...

As requested, authored by @Rocket I haven't refreshed myself with the whole thread. It'd probably be a good idea to read through it (three pages).

It hasn't been an issue for me and I've not read of it being one for others. The proximity sensors will detect someone or something approaching or moving around the car. In a sense, it gives the car an external heightened awareness of its surroundings so it can pounce, but the alarm will not...

Any vehicle manufacturer suffers from two security pitfalls: 1. The components and systems they use are standardized across their entire product line. If I can attack one, I can attack all. 2. The Internet. Having a reasonable understanding of electronics, access to both common and dark web...

I've been doing some deep dives on this this morning. I'll take a stab at it... Ford has been standardizing its security packages over the last several years. Technology and other features which were previously options are now common across models. Consumer preferences have changed. Security...

https://forscan.org/download.html Double-checking myself, I found the release notes page for the 2024 download. If the software supports MY24s, great. If a new customer contemplating a purchase of any scanner device or software, it's something I'd want to study further. 2.3.58 release...

So, 1) maybe it does now, but they've yet to update their site, or 2) it doesn't fully support the models, but some of the more basic or legacy features work. https://forscan.org/support/show_content.php?lang=en&product_id=nopr&issue=general_brands_supported From a random selection of...
