  1. Bad news & good news: engine replacement

    Ah, you sure did. Sorry. I have trouble remembering everything from months ago and connecting it when I see something posted months later.
  2. Smell of Coolant

    Yeah, three weeks minimum is not for the fix. That is just the wait to get it in to look at it and see what is wrong so that they can figure out what to fix.
  3. 2025 GT engine oil temp runs hot

    Wow, you are not kidding about a long road trip with a trailered track car. South Georgia to New York.
  4. 2025 GT engine oil temp runs hot

    Yep. The oil is cooler than the ECU makes it appear on your display. Maybe the market is too small for some enterprising young entrepreneur to come up with a viable solution for the aftermarket.
  5. Alignment Shops

    Does anybody know of any performance or track oriented alignment shops not too terribly distant from Atlanta that could set up a good track alignment on a Dark Horse?
  6. Rear Camber

    0 is great for the drag strip, but I was asking to see if I could get -2.0° or so . . .
  7. Front Camber Adjustable Camber Plate

    The Track Use Addendum says to set it at -2.25°, but we all know that is not enough, so how far will it go? -2.5°? -3.0°?
  8. Front Camber Adjustable Camber Plate

    How much front camber can you get in the S650 Dark Horse using the Ford camber plate?
  9. Rear Camber

    How much adjustment for negative rear camber is available in the S650, and how do you do it? Do you need to add aftermarket pieces like a rear camber bar to get to go more negative?
  10. 2025 GT engine oil temp runs hot

    I managed to get it to 235° on the way home today, but it required a lot of hauling down on the brakes followed by full throttle in Track or Drag mode followed by more hauling down on the brakes followed by more full throttle followed by . . . and so on. I'll really need a race track to push...
  11. Smell of Coolant

    I am going to put it off a little bit, mainly because the leak is minor and I have a lot left on the warranty, so it is not going to harm anything for right now. I also want to look into whether I need to give up my transportation for a month to get warranty work even looked into . . . this...
  12. Smell of Coolant

    Dealer says this: Definitely a leak Front of engine, toward driver side Cannot see it from top, must be underneath and use a light but can see the dried residue from the leak. Leak is coming from somewhere high, and there is a lot up there high, like the intake manifold, hoses . . . (I...
  13. So this just happened ☹️

    Wow! Sorry to hear this. My new Audi (years ago) got a rock chip on the way home from the dealership. It split all the way up the windshield before the window guy could repair it. My wife's new Explorer ST got a rock chip within the first month, but a local repair guy fixes the small chip...
  14. Bad news & good news: engine replacement

    The thread. I was hoping it would describe more about what happened, what the dealer found, that sort of thing, but it is scattered in several threads with no one thread explaining what happened and what they found.
  15. 2025 GT engine oil temp runs hot

    WTF are you talking about? Nowhere did I write that I need a new engine. Stop being so unnecessarily hostile and go back and read. I posted that I wanted to look for MustangNoob's thread on that subject. Seriously, WTF?
  16. 2025 GT engine oil temp runs hot

    Ah, so direct conflict with krisk's experience at 289° and no limp mode. Strange, unless, of course, the inferred oil temperature is not the culprit in turning on limp mode. What I mean is, the two different experiences could be explained by MustangNoob being at 280 and krisk being at 289, but...
  17. 2025 GT engine oil temp runs hot

    I have been paying attention to that, too, matching the number to the auxiliary gauge, but I have not been over 224° of inferred oil temperature, so I have to get on a track or something to push it higher. I was already a candidate for the cuffs running it up to 224°
  18. Hypothetical Tire Install Question

    If there is one thing I cannot stand, it is ignoramuses acting like they know something when they know nothing about it. They sure post their AI search results with utter confidence, though, which creates a vicious circle. AI picks up BS, repeats it, so the ignoramus posts it, reinforcing the...
  19. Dark Horse Limp Mode on Track?

    Has anybody else had their Dark Horse handling package A10 transmissions overheat? I did not experience this yet.
  20. 2025 GT engine oil temp runs hot

    Thanks for posting that. I just re-read it, and, honestly there is not enough information presented to conclude that it is the inferred oil temperature that caused the 4500 rpm limit. Let me be clear that I am not saying it was not. It may have been. We just do not know from that thread. I...
