I had a similar thing happen on my '25 GT when it was relatively new. I did a small pull to like 30mph, did a downshift on the 10R80, suddenly loud POP and the engine went into some kind of limp mode--with throttle it would just make a light burbling noise and car wouldn't go. Like 5 dash error...
I haven't seen anyone confirm success, but a couple of other options:
- some guy on Youtube bought used active exhaust mufflers themselves off eBay and rigged up a mechanical method to switch them open/closed, using magnets. I don't know how durable this is with heat, since heat will remove the...
Sounds about right. I got ~36.7mpg on 200+ mile trips around Northern California, roundtrips to even out elevation changes. The fuel efficiency of the Ecoboost is shockingly good, especially for how fun and fast it is. These Ecoboost 2.3s and the BMW B48s are the best turbo 4s on the market...
When I installed axle-backs on my '25 GT and '26 GT, the right side stuck out 1/2" further, on both cars. I inspected closer on my '26, and the whole right side of the exhaust sits 1/2" further back, at least starting after the resonator/midpipe. I looked closely at the exhaust hanger in the...
Anyone else have this? Car/audio system are all stock.
Ever since new, I've heard light static/crackling whenever the audio system has power, including when the car is off and you open the door. It's like subtle 'white noise' that happens for ~30sec before it shuts down in the background. I...
You need a new lip too.
In some states, comprehensive claims don't increase rates. If you pay out of pocket, that might be $5K+ (hood, bumper--Ford's position is bumpers cannot be repaired, lip, repaint--most likely don't need blend if repainting hood + bumper, since the fenders are on a...
Just installed a Pypes touring axle-back on my '26 GT. Had a muffler delete (video above) and Roush axle-back on my '25 GT so I can compare.
The sound level of the Pypes is say ~15% quieter than the Roush. I'd describe it like the Roush with the sharp edges of the sound rounded off. No drone at...
Us base owners don't get a power port.
The internal wiring is different too, so all the Youtube tutorials on splicing in a plug to a 5-pin connector to power i.e. radar detectors don't apply to us either.
The rain sensor plug works, but you'll need a special adapter (from Amazon).
Hmm that happens to be the exact RPM range of the loudest drone on various exhaust systems in Mustang GTs, probably a result of the engine hitting just the right resonance at that RPM or something.
So it might be normal to some degree, but if it's causing significant vibration that bothers...
Dang... but yeah that's exactly what I was talking about in my earlier post in this thread about seeing late '25s and '26s with bumper corner paint issues.
I've checked out a lot of Mustangs on random dealer lots from California to Virginia and noticed this type of thing on many of the '26s...
Sounds like your car might have actual electrical issues, since you're having random issues across multiple systems in the car. Sofa King is right that BCM water leaks could cause stuff like that, so you might want to manually inspect your BCM yourself to make sure it's not corroded (it's in the...
I've owned a '24 Eco, '25 GT, '25 Eco, and now '26 GT. To be honest I've found the quality to not have gotten much better.
My '25 Eco and '26 GT both have door defogger area rattles that weren't on my '24 Eco and '25 GT.
My '26 GT passenger rear brake is funky, pad clunk and creaks, I'll have...
You could turn the driver side rubber stopper out a little more (make it slightly longer). But if it's not fluttering you're fine. The fit and finish on these Mustangs is honestly horrible (I've bought 4 brand new S650s so far, each one had various small-to-moderate quality issues). That is to...
Noticed this item on the market recently as well. The design definitely looks great. Let us know how it holds up, like I wonder how the paint finish will handle UV and age over time.
Thanks for sharing. Yes this is a known common brake booster clicking issue, most often on 2024s from what I've seen on forums/Reddit. I saw other Ford vehicle owners post about it too, so it may have been a supplier issue across the board for a while.
I believe Ford was attempting to claim...
I have very annoying door rattles on both doors seemingly near the driver defogger vent/upper door speaker area. Driver side is really bad. I will have to take it apart and take a look. Tried pressing hard on everything from speaker area to A/C vents to A-pillar trim, even tried pushing on the...
I'm also a fan of small subtle exteriors mods, even some of the factory builds feel too "ricey" to me.
When I look at the design language of S650, I believe Ford aimed for low-poly, simple shapes, retro-futurism like an updated 80s boxy style. I see this trend across the car industry from...
