If you get the PP I’d guess only a front take-off wheel/tire would fit as a rear diameter is taller overall and It may only go down into the well partially. My son and I have full size in the trunk (non PP’s) and the standard diameter just fits.
I don’t know the ramifications of running a...
I'm pretty sure yours does if it's a GT, part number FR3Z-6A642-A. While not ideal, since it's an air-to-water cooler, it does its job (as long as it doesn't leak). But that's not the problem with the S650. While they do make an oil cooler kit for the S650 part number M6642M50D, which will cool...
The standard GT comes with the smaller 4 pot Brembos in the front, which fit with an 18” wheel. The rears are smaller calipers (not Brembos) so that won’t be a problem either.
However in the front, I’m pretty sure you’d need 19” front to clear the big 6 pot Brembos if you get the Brembo brake...
There are some things on the S650 GT’s that are hard to change (electronically and/or mechanically), which limits your aftermarket or after purchase options vs. older Mustangs (S550 specifically):
1) oil temp on all S650’s are inferred (there’s no actual/physical sensor). While you can add an...
I'm 62 (almost geriatric) and got the manual. Easiest manual I've ever driven. Hill Assist, Rev Match, Throttle Blip for first and reverse (great when in a parking lot). Hardest thing is getting out of the car (my wife hates it for that reason). My son has a 2022 GT, the helper aids (hill...
I think I found it on CarGurus. Note, it's a "Job 1" 2024 actually built in late 2023. So it DOES NOT HAVE START/STOP, which is a bonus. If it's exactly what you want, color, packages (bronze is AWESOME), automatic (personally, I'd only buy a manual, but Job 1's have $1000 gas guzzler tax, which...
Post a pic if you’re not sure.
It’s these studs (highlighted) painted body color on top of the strut tower. Note the forward most on the right/passenger side has a wire strap covering most of the stud, but there should still be enough showing.
Just a seal is not an issue at compared to other/deeper oil leak issues that S650 V8's have experienced, such as bad valve guides or bad rings/cylinder surface. The bigger issue is taking anything off and putting it back on incorrectly. Sorry but dealer fixes have been spotty. The thing you...
Thanks, yeah looking into it. We do have a PartsDirect store nearby (their Full Syn Motorcraft Oil was only 50 cents cheaper than Ford dealership, but they only had 4 qts in stock). In the meantime, one door closed another opened. My local Mopar dealer added themselves back to store.mopar.com...
I think you're mostly correct. It's from unpaid tax revenue pre 2019 due to RockAuto not having operations in the state, but after several appeals Az Dept of Revenue won the case on the grounds that having Az suppliers ship directly to customers or accept returns from customers constitutes a...
Yeah thanks, I get PUP and filters from Walmart for the three other vehicles at the house (wife's Dodge Durango Hemi, daughter's Jeep Wrangler, my Jeep Wrangler). But for the 2 Mustangs (mine and my sons), Motorcraft full syn from RockAuto. For now I may get it locally at Ford Dealerships at 50%...
Same as local dealer, about $3 more per qt. including shipping. RockAuto is $5.40/qt plus about $1 per qt for shipping when bought in bulk, local dealer $9.32 per quart, Amazon $9.25/qt (and have a whopping 4 in stock right now). There's even eBay sellers that have it around $10 or more per...
Yep, that's what I used to get it for and about $1 more per qt for shipping. Made an order for 2x 12 packs (for 2 Mustangs, 2022 S550 and 2024 S650) today and BOOM F.U. AZ. Now it's in the $10+ per qt range at other retailers. So PUP from Wally World it is. I have half a change (5 qts) left over...
Went to place an order today and got this.

Where I live it’s hard to get consistent ethanol (we’re a flex fuel not an E85 state) and the highest octane gas is 91.
Therefore, I run a mix of 91 top tier and 100, which I am assuming isn’t top tier, in the Mustang. So the detergents are diluted in my s650. I also have older Jeep (2008) and...
You sure it’s E85? Some stations make it look like E85 when it’s actually E51 to E83.
It does suck that the highest readily available is 91, but I’m so thankful 100 at the pump for $10.00 a gal is right down the street.
