If you are doing any kind of key on, engine off reflash, you need to hook a battery charger up so that there is no voltage drop. That will abort a program real quick.

"All your base are belong to us" is as far as I go.

At the dealership the first thing you do before ANY electrical testing, reflash or programming with the key on, engine off, is to hook up a battery charger. If you get any voltage drops, your programming will abort. An hour and a half is long time for KO/EO.

The recall drops off Ford's OASIS site when the dealer submits the claim to Ford and its paid. It usually takes about 3 days. No dealer sits on warranty claims, we want the money that Ford owes us! As regards FordPass, I have had customers show me on their phone where the recall was still...

Quote: "Yes, it is a wear item, but there's also an expectation of a certain lifespan. If the driver uses launch control just twice, a feature provided by the manufacturer, I don't see failure in 8000 miles to be acceptable." I agree, but who defines the "certain lifespan"? And we have only...

A clutch IS a wear item, I would do as they are doing so there are no surprises about expense once it apart. If the pressure plate came apart, it would be a warrantable repair, if the disc is smoked and the flywheel has hot spotting, customer pays. The only two issues I have is with the...

I used an '18-'23 NXT quad tip axlback on my previous '24 GT, and it was a perfect fit.

I have welcome lighting off.

My '26 GT Premium does this, the prior '24 GT Base did not.

Exactly. We will do whatever we need to for it to fit right, adjustments will usually do the job. BUT, sometimes it requires body and paint work, and while you as the customer are entitled to have it fit right, I STRONGLY discourage going this route. If you are bothered by a small misalgment...

My opinion is that Ford's Sync system is junk. I worked for Lexus for 11 years before coming to Ford, and NEVER had problems like these do. I think its just another example of "good enough" engineering from Ford. I put a crakcase pressure sensor in a new, 1,000 mile Bronco last month and two...

This ^^^^^^^

On a 5.0, either F-150 or Mustang, oil leaks are pretty rare unless its a real high mile vehicle.

I made the point once, to several people's dismay, that these are mid priced, domestic cars, built by union labor.

I had a '24 for 2 years and 17K miles, and 2K miles into my '26. The only reason I traded was Adriatic Blue! I've loved both cars, and I personally had no issues with either one. Things I've seen on the drive... a good number of taillights, which at $1,800 a pop, that tells me we ALL need an ESP...

Dug a bit more and found this... looks like only one days engine production. Affected vehicles: select units of the Ford Maverick built on October 31st, 2025; units of the Lincoln Corsair built on November 6th; units of the Ford Mustang built October 23rd; and units of the Ford Explorer built...

Not disputing that, I have just not seen a car with these issues come in. The key word in a recall notice is "certain" It may be a small sample, we had an F-150 recall last year that only applied to 300 vehicles nationally. The cyl head recall you mentioned affects 4 cyl models. We used to sell...

I work in service at a Ford dealer, and other than the panel fit issues, I have not seen any of the items on the list. YMMV

I can't imagine that it would be worth the effort, unless you have a lift and a welder and some fab skills. Even then...

I used an '18-'23 axleback on my '24 with no issues.
