not only do they have to center the wheel, normally done by adjusting the tie rods, they also have to re calibrate the steering angle sensor to read the correct value when the wheels are pointing straight ahead.
If the SAS and actual position of the steering don't match the car will think it...
yep, it is fee money, until you realize that the people pricing the goods and services you are purchasing are adding the cost of the credit card transactions to the price.
That is why gas stations can give 10 cents a gallon off the posted price for cash sales.
That is about 3% off in most...
I put mine on when I got to the monday afternoon cruise in today, and when I put my chair back in the trunk they got put back in the trunk too.
I will not leave them in when driving
4.5 months of ownership
Car had 100 miles on it when I got it
Put 1000 miles on it in the first 2 months breaking it in
First oil change at 1006 miles.
then 700 miles in 2 days moving it to FL.
total mileage today after an 80 mile cruise to get cigars and come back up thru Bonita Springs...
those C8's are an INCREDIBLE bang for the buck as far as performance
I have adaptive cruise in 3 of my cars, including the Mustang, I rarely use it.
How often do you think you are going to use it if your estimated usage is 6000 miles a year?
The only thing I will caution you about WRT the C8...
how soon do you think you are going to get this car IF you decide to keep it?
Figure 2 weeks to get it torn down and the trucking companies appraiser out there
Brand new production so parts are not being set aside for collision repair, they are all going to production.
get used to hearing...
Still has to get past the Feds, Ford M plate or not, they do let grey market cars in except under very limited circumstances, letting the CEO of Ford have one for a toy is not going to pass muster with the Feds
Now that this has gotten out, and is not a very good look for the company, I bet it...
Nobody has released any tuning software for the 2024 GT yet, except Whipple who developed the Ford Performance Supercharger kit, and now somehow Roush has a tune for their forced induction unit.
When you see what it takes to do cams in this motor you'll think twice about doing it unless the...
I'd love to know how he got it into the country and past the Feds who routinely refuse to allow foreign cars that are not certified to US specifications (one company had to recall their cars because the high beam indicator was not to US standards).
Big things would be certification to emissions...
Mine came in a bag in the trunk with my front plate bracket
4 1/2 months later that is where they still are
For those in the north and other places where the OEM capped lug nuts swell up making use of the stock lug wrench futile a company called Steelman (look on Amazon) makes +.5 mm sockets...
The Dealer files a claim against the trucking company
The trucking company (Driver) signs for each car, he/she inspects it before they are allowed to load it on the trailer, no driver will take a damaged car and I mean the slightest imperfection because they don't want to be blamed for the...
Kudos to GM
The C8 is an engineering marvel, and as far as bang for the buck, show me another car that gives that level of performance ( at any trim/option level) for the buck.
The piston ring material and or coating on the rings has made breaking the rings in a thing of the past.
Roller cams and overhead cams don't require the lifters to be broken in either.
I do like to get a few heat cycles into the materials and let the oil circulate, I don't abuse my cars but I...
Well it looks like Ford decided to do some sort of an update on my car.
The last one was on 7/4/2024
Still don't have the April release with the gauge display options. 6.4.2 IIRC
I thought it was funny when I got in the car today and it was asking about settings for rear seat passengers.
It...
Most cars have a button somewhere.
I have not had to look for mine yet so sorry not much help
Ford uses the same TPMS sensor on a bunch of cars so there has to be a easy wat to tell the computer what the tire pressure needs to be for the specified tire and weight on any one of the vehicles...
