12.3v is just below 80%. If the car is trying to take an update it will fail.

If using the Deltran Battery Tender, with the state of your battery, the first few times expect a full red charge light for a solid 14-20 hours! Then it will go into flashing green final charge for about 3-4 hours, then solid green. After you do it a few times, expect a full red light charge...

Installed my Billetworkz shifter. I have 3 knobs. I don’t like the weighted one I got, but here’s the 2 I now have in rotation. For those who have auto and are annoyed with the top lever, I really like the push down collar. It frees up the top of the shifter so I can pull it back into Drive...

With a 16 gal tank, when I fill up at halfway, I know about 8 gallons will go in. I’ll throw in 7 just to leave some room just in case there’s a faulty shut off. I almost always manually shut off the flow. And I don’t feel as bad spending under $40…lol.

Maybe in 2024, but in 2025 they sure as shit didn’t include a spare with my GT Premium. 😒

Absolutely! Just remove the red protective plastic cover and attach the pos. To the flat blade underneath, and slightly back and to the left is a ground post sticking up. I just attached mine…took 4 seconds. I put a folded towel over the hood latch receiver and just set the hood on top so it...

That’s an odd invoice. They list ‘Brake calipers”…. as opposed to sticking your feet through the floor and stopping like Fred Flintstone? :cwl:

Duly noted! The silver knob has a nice contrast though. The black knob kind of gets lost. No matter…I can swap them out in 3 seconds. They just unscrew from the top. The important part was lining up the GT logo, so I needed to install that one first.

Damn if I don’t like the silver better. 🤔

But it’s a dry heat…. 🌞🙃 No the battery doesn’t have to be 100%. But needs to be at least 80% for updates. and yes daily driving keeps your battery charged, but not at 100% as you agreed, but being that the battery never sees 100%, the charge ceiling eventually gets lower, until an 80%...

Well, I installed it. super easy!! Just have a quality trim removal piece for the two shifter gate covers...they both just pry up with clips. Without the car running, put it in Drive so you can get a screwdriver into the front of the stalk and remove the two Phillips screws, Pull up the stock...

Told ya…. 🤓 yup! No…it’s not. An alternator never brings your battery up to 100%. It’s not good enough on these new cars. My wife’s new Lincoln went into battery Protection Mode one day. We called Lincoln concierge, and within an hour a tech shows up. Turns out it was a friend of mine...

Only the propellant is flammable. I spray it on a sponge and wipe it on the plastic parts. if the plastic doesn’t melt from engine heat, how can the Tire Foam be an issue? Thanks! bring pizza. no…lol. But I have it down to two! Quick Detailer could theoretically do it all. car, tires...

I dunno…why did Ford opt to not put an $11 part in the Pinto to keep it from exploding in rear collisions? Because the bean counters run companies. We should feel lucky they are still including the steering wheel. :cwl::crazy:

My car is garage kept and I have other cars to take out on rainy days. So I don’t really wash the car, just mist with Quick Wax and wipe. After every few drives I mist the wheels with Meguiars Quick Wax and wipe with microfiber. Meguiars Hot Shine Tire Foam cleans and shines the tires very...

I keep it simple: Meguiars Quick Detailer and Quick Wax and microfiber. (Look up Shiny Wipes on Amazon) I do body and wheels with that. You can’t even set a towel on my hood without it just gliding off. Meguiars Hot Shine Tire Foam applied with a sponge on tires and engine bay….and any...

I got the Employee Pricing promotion which really did knock a chunk off the MSRP. The only reason I stopped in to look at what they had.

I had a random glitch 2 weeks ago where gage light colors went back to default. While resetting I played with gage cluster packages. Chose cobra for a day, then went back to “Normal” gage. Next day it went back to Cobra on it’s own. I reset to “Normal” again and it held. But motion sensor...

Yes, exactly. I agree 100%. Personally….I’m just trying to untrain myself of a 17 year routine with my old shifter. The Billetworkz shifter requires knuckling down on a collar on the shifter stalk. My theory is that because that mechanism is different enough that I’ll depress it only enough...

Too late…I’ve already been running naked down the street sceaming “Why Ford, whyyy?” 🙆‍♂️ Exactly. It’s all about back pressure.
