Not just condensation, actual water stains. Brand new 2026, drove through a rainstorm in the Midwest en route to California after buying the car on the East Coast.
These are on the inside of the housing, even on the ridged black plastic material inside the headlight. The other headlight...
It's possible, and can be done in 45 minutes if you're fast. I want to avoid removing the bumper unless absolutely necessary to minimize the work, avoid messing anything up, avoid scratching bumper corners where they meet the fenders, or wear out the plastic brackets/hardware, etc. You don't...
Not sure, but one datapoint is that S550 Ecoboosts had 2.25" exhaust pipe diameter, and now I believe S650 Ecoboosts have 2.5" diameter (like the GT).
This means GT axle-back exhausts (your item looks like an axle-back?) fit the S650 Ecoboosts, as proven by Roush listing their S650 axle-back as...
I'm overall happy with my base brakes and that's all I've experienced, but from every single review I've seen, those upgraded 6-piston Brembos are phenomenal.
Solution: I had to do a BMS reset. After that, ASS started working again. Other '26 owners may run into this too--at least until FORScan gets updated in the future.
A BMS reset resets the battery "days in service" back to 0 (something you do after installing a brand new battery, teaches the...
For my fellow OCD perfectionists, I've found that many rubber jack pads are not deep/tall enough to fully prevent pinch welds from cutting through (and contacting the metal of the jack cup, thus scratching the paint on the bottom of your pinch welds). Same thing with those metal pinch weld...
One thing that surprised me on my new '26 (versus 2 prior '25s and a '24) was the trans shifting feels noticeably different (smoother). I get less of the "stumble-into-5th" and more rough downshifts into 9th/8th that didn't happen on my '25s/'24. So my conclusion is Ford actively continues to...
I noticed a different FORScan behavior on my new '26 Mustang and am wondering if other '26 owners notice the same thing: the BCM resets itself each time you pull it up in FORScan. This is even without making changes. The car will make the Ford chime sound (ba-dum-dum) and the max brightness...
So from what I can tell this completely does not use the white LEDs anymore at all? Looks like it functions as a car that doesn't even have white LEDs, just amber dim/bright for every function of the tri-beam DRL bar
Please don't pay >$100 for this. Takes probably 1 minute, it's literally typing a single digit. You could just offer one of the techs $20 to do it for you after work. Just find a younger looking tech, they'll know how to use computers.
At address IPC 720-02-01, change the 1st digit from 0 to 4...
Could you do this yourself? Would you lose your Ford engine warranty if you install it yourself? Seems like it would be hard to justify that under Magnusson Moss, especially since it's their product and not like you're able to tweak it to be your own custom tune.
Also, if Ford knows the engine...
We do have a rain sensor up there, the coin battery looking thing on the left side.
I never figured it out, but I believe it's possible because there are products on Amazon that tap into the rain sensor plug for USB and 12V out.
Hopefully just a simple fix. The A/C system seems to be a weak spot on these cars. I remember on S550s it was a common issue and many had to have A/C compressors replaced
I was extremely disappointed in the GT's weak low-end torque, and believe it or not, was partly why I switched back to an Ecoboost. Came from a Camaro LT1 with a push-rod engine with tons of low-end torque, could just floor it in any gear and instantly launch like a rocket due to the broad...
Sounds like the factory messed it up, like when the S650s were new. They were shipping cars with mismatched driver/passenger seats, and mismatched brakes on either side (an Ecoboost got a performance Brembo on one side only).
In my experience you can get better prices before the Employee Pricing promo (been tracking realistically achievable prices, and monitored prices last year this happened too).
This promo makes it easier for people who don't want to negotiate to get a decent deal across the board.
Downside is...
I installed a Dark Horse wheel on my base Ecoboost last weekend and it worked.
- I had previously done the IPC 720-02-01 change (to show "M" and gear number).
- My IPC 720-12-01 was already "E" (Ford updated the default setting I believe)
- After installing the wheel, I made the PCM 7E0-163-01...
I suspect something flawed with the design of the coolant system hose fittings or the overflow tank cap, because I've also had inexplicable decreasing coolant on both a new '24 Eco and a new '25 GT. Now have a new '25 Eco and can also smell coolant after pulling into the garage. Too early to...
