thats right. its an estimation, not a measurement. however, i think most or all of the other temperatures are real measurements. the vehicle has sensors for the following: ambient air temp, cylinder head temp, diff oil temp, coolant temp, evaporator temp, fuel rail pressure and temp, manifold...
ah, ok. i had to have mine replaced because the button clusters started moving. they actually started moving again and its because the outer screw boss on the wheel is breaking. there are 3 total bosses, 2 inside and 1 outside, and the buttons are screwed to the steering wheel trim
unfortunately, because this is just a wrench light and no check engine light, there is a decent chance that no code was set. stuff like that is super frustrating to diagnose and fix because of it. if you PM me your VIN, i can check OASIS and see if a code was set
removing the steering wheel is fairly easy, just be sure to get a new bolt, as the one that holds the steering wheel in place seems to be torque to yield. Ford says to toss out the old bolt. the most important thing is to make sure the inner part of the clockspring does not rotate. it has a...
unfortunately, this is a pretty standard story for non-performance pack vehicles. engine or transmission gets too hot because of the lack of auxiliary coolers. the thing is that Ford, like someone else mentioned, did not design the base vehicles for performance driving. sure, a WOT pull here and...
the big thing to note is that they are safety restraint devices and are pyrotechnic devices that deploy in a severe enough accident. if you are not more than 110% confident that you can do the work correctly, just have a shop that can do it install them. there is no shame in admitting when you...
i wonder how my Mustang would look if i bought the new Prime Blue seat belts and swapped them in? they look like they are similar to Grabber Blue in color. i would need to see them in person, though
an advisor at my dealer just had to replace an engine in a 2024 GT with 11000 miles. cracked cylinder 7 piston, bent valves with the actual valve heads sideways in the head or missing. customer just said it "died in flight", likely not explaining the actual events due to the potential for the...
the actual mounting of the paddle shifters is different on the S550 vs S650. S550 used a clip and one screw, where the S650 uses 3 screws. the paddle itself is still secured to the base by a roll pin, so that can be removed in the same way. the wiring inside is the same too i think. its a button...
the Tremec is actually not an extra charge on its own. however, the fuel economy goes low enough with it that it needs the next level of gas guzzler tax compared to the 10R80, so i guess you could technically say its a $300 option?
it being listed in "major product changes" means that the Tremec used to be standard
in the price guide, it shows this:
but this is what the same line looks like in the 2025 and 2024 price guide:
actually, every S650 with the Brembo brakes, regardless of with a drift brake or not, has the different rear knuckle. this is because the Brembo rear caliper does not have the built-in parking brake functionality like the single piston one does; leading to the requirement of the mini caliper
we might be tied in terms of brightness if you are in the caribbean. the tint i have is ceramic, Xpel Plus 5%. supposedly ceramic tint is actually lighter than other types
i used to have 35% front windows and i think it was 15% on my rear quarter and rear windows. i then decided not too long ago to go darker, so the rear quarter and rear windows are now 5%. i also got my windshield tinted 55%, but a day after that was done, a rock got kicked up and i had to...
so, the price list came out and there is some actually good news. prices have more or less stayed the same. 100A EcoBoost went up like $500, and the 200A EcoBoost Convertible has gone down about $800. everything else seems untouched
