Whipple does not get you a Ford warranty, a Ford Performance kit, made by Whipple does. And it does not cover a whole lot. There is a dollar limit on it, something like $2500 To get any warranty coverage from Ford Performance it has to be dealer installed, or installed by a tech holding...

But Ford stopped giving those in the ragtop package as the reinforcing ribs on the underside rubbed against the roof fabric when the top was stowed resulting in warranty claims for roof replacements. The trim from the 550's fits, I got mine from @LevittownFordParts and only put them on when I...

The FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard) No. 108 requires a center high-mounted stop lamp (CHMSL) on passenger cars manufactured after September 1, 1985, and trucks after September 1, 1994. This light must be mounted on the rear centerline of the vehicle, typically higher than the side...

In some states dealers have to warranty their vehicles unless they are under a certain very low dollar threshold. In MA it used to be anything under $700 could be sold without a warranty, anything over $699 with under 125000 mikes MUST have a warranty

Very few dealers are going to want to take it in trade as they have to warranty it if resold by them, and a Chevy dealer is not going to want a modified Ford product, and a Ford dealer isn't going to want to warranty a car that may have been abused. You'll do better on private sale, but assume...

too bad the replacement pan was not a "bottom fill" type. A drain plug to drain it and a stand pipe to reflll it.

Just did the MSRP on my 24 done as a 25, MSRP was just a few dollars under 65 grand I can't imagine what they are going to charge for 2026.

Then we start getting into the world of square, under square, over square, not something that really gets discussed in cars, but in the V Twin world it does constantly Bore less than stroke, bore same as stroke, bore greater than stroke.... all 3 have their own peculiar ways of making power...

Have you ever driven one? Nothing accelerates like an electric vehicle, the torque curve is flat, at maximum power from second one and will put a smile on your face. So it is gasoline only for you? Diesels can make power and incredible amounts of torque Steam was used to power cars at one...

why don't we toss a Tesla S Plaid in the mix and see what car smokes what car The Vette is designed and made to compete against Euro supercars, the only way a Mustang gets equal footing is to get a GTD at $350K vs a $170K ZR1, and against a ZR1X the GTD is not going to stand a chance. Put a...

IIRC the Feds made it illegal to modify the car before it was sold, it has to be done after the fact You don't see cars sent to Roush to be upfitted anymore, at least not with heavy engine mods, they are done at authorized dealers. I'm not taking a used car ad for a car at a Dodge dealership...

the cooled seats are nice, and considering Ford limited the interior and roof colors on the ragtops, when you are baking your ass off in black leather seats in the Florida sun it was the least they could d for those of us who can keep the top down year round. My 07 GT Premium ragtop had a great...

I work as a tech in a shop, and my car goes back to the dealer for oil changes I can't buy the oil, filter, shop supplies and pay for disposal for less than what the dealer is charging me, and I don't have to deal with 20 effn fasteners to get to the filter and drain plug, The rest of my fleet...

not randomly, but my car when it was brand new had to go back to the dealer for a drivers seat SRS harness. There are so many components to SRS systems these days such as occupant weight sensors that need to be calibrated it is one thing I don't get into

Well that explains why it dropped from 20 to 15% going around the block, the first time the car had been out of the garage in 5 weeks So when I go to visit the car in 2 months, it will have been just about a year since the last oil change so it will be at or near zero. I was planning on having...

PS for your EB, the previous FP tune was iirc 35 HP and 75 ft pounds torque, and it was available in the $700 range from FP resellers.

There is a thread about it, FP has CARB approval, and there was even a PN associated with the filing, but so far it is vaporware If you have followed along on some of the posts on 7G module security and checksums, so far nobody has been able to re-write a ECM and have the vehicle start. Only...

It is one of my big gripes when I am doing tires at the shop, not only to they weld themselves on , even if you get them off sometimes it fuses the core into the stem so you can't get it out. Hard to break or set a bead with the core still in the stem

Even with a tender on the battery it will still go into battery save mode. It happens to my car all the time, as recently as last week. I try to have someone start the car every couple of weeks to keep the modems on but this last time it must have gone too long between starts so it shut the...

Metal caps will come back to bite you in the arse, they will fuse onto the valve stem.
