I always recommend the following: DOCUMENT every change, and keep it stored in a safe place. You may need to refer or revert back to an original value later. Save your original As-Built values before every change. Keep them all stored with the above. Finally, many people don't realize that...

Don't assume because the name is the same or because it was/is an expensive diagnostics tool that it will work with FORScan. Bottom line, if it's not recommended by FORScan, I would strongly suggest you NOT use it. You've got huge dollars invested in your Mustang ... why risk screwing things up...

Yes, and you should! :)

Yes, as long as your Mustang is equipped with left-handed tires.

But make sure the engine warms up for at least 10 minutes before doing that ... :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: Sorry if you missed the other thread ...

Great looking ride and great decision! Sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do to get what you want. I bought ~15 (lost count) new Ford and Lincoln vehicles from my local dealer since 2006 (many off the lot, but some ordered and some traded with another dealer as far away is MI to KY)...

Let them fix it first, then decide. Why walk away now? No, I would not expect it to be recorded anywhere. But the bigger question is: Did you pay for the extra $$$ for the "package protection" coverage? I hear it's an 'industry-wide inclusion" ... :crackup::crackup::crackup::crackup::crackup:

I've been meaning to get out there and add that to the DH, but haven't even been able to drive her in a week or so.

See my long post just above. It takes time for new generations of vehicles to be supported. They don't just wake up one day and know everything about a new vehicle or generation, plot it into the software, and throw it out there. Things are already starting to build for the S650, but it takes...

As far as OBDII adapters for FORScan are concerned, I strongly recommend getting one that is confirmed compatible with FORScan. See forscan.org While the wired adapters are OK for scanning and diagnosing, I prefer the wireless adapters so you can also run them with the Android or iOS version...

FORScan has been the go-to OBDII software for the skilled DIY person (and many techs) when you want to perform service functions and make limited changes to customize your Ford, Lincoln, Mercury or (some) Mazdas. It's not really intended for the technically challenged crowd, but it's also not...

But unlike most POVs, they spend a significant amount of time idling, which is precisely why they are considered severe duty.

Well, unless you're roughly near the same age as a late GenX-er, you may have an excuse to not know the movie. :)

I've seen many different lists of conditions for Ford vehicles that dictate when you should observe the 'severe duty' maintenance schedule, but I don't recall one that includes not letting your vehicle idle (warm up) as a condition. If the Mustang is any different than F-Series, I sure would...

^ This. You can sit and idle for an hour and your transmission and diff aren't going to warm up. Again, it doesn't take but about 8-9-10 seconds for the engine oil system to be pressurized under normal circumstances.

Good to hear. I bought the kit, but need to find time to install it. No harm, though, as I'm not really driving the DH much right now.

He said "DH" (Dark Horse), "HP" (handling package), and "well equipped". That last one likely means it's not a base DH, so you're already over $70K MSRP with just the 700A and the HP alone.

Good to know. Thanks!

Unless it was extremely cold, it would be near impossible to get into a vehicle, start it, get it into gear, and take off before the oil pressure was up to normal. I would not take off and the immediately start to do burn outs, but you get the picture. If it is extremely cold and you're still...

That's a question you'd have to ask Ford Motor Company. FWIW: What is the warranty on corrosion? (ford.com)
