this transmission sucks. 1st and 2nd are hard to find compared to the other gears, and i stalled it twice when at a light and i couldnt find them so i tried and failed to launch from 3rd. i eventually gave up and just sat at a light in 1st with the clutch pressed in so it wasnt so bad... until i...
Ford faces recall issues all the time. just look at the millions of Explorers affected by the A-pillar trim flying off. im sure my situation is an isolated case, but im definitely going to be asking to see an inside image of the cat if it does need replacement
even if it was a cat, there's 7 in National which can be overnighted, and its under the 8yr/80k mile emissions warranty, so the $2300 for the cat/manifold assembly, $350 core charge, and shipping are on Ford's dime
looks like the downstream bank 2 O2 sensor is jumping between 0.8v, 0.3v, 0.6v, and is overall erratic, while the downstream bank 1 O2 sensor is stable
19,000 mile update, my rear fitment has encountered a problem. my rear tire has gone in the fender well so much that it has flared it out slightly and caused minor paint cracking along the edge. with that being said, i no longer recommend anyone run a 19X12 with 355 width tires. 345 width will...
on my way in to work this morning, i got a check engine light. P0430. tech i gave it to hasnt officially looked at it yet, but is saying it will probably need a new bank 2 cat, which is the driver one that has the manifold attached. thankfully, if i need to leave it for a day or two, i got an...
forgive me for not knowing, but what is the point of doing the oil pump gears? Ford has used cast ones even in the 2020-22 GT500, and i always personally found that "drop test" 100% useless, because at what point is your OPG being dropped while in the engine?
My dealer got another one in grabber blue, 10 speed, handling package, painted stripes, blue brakes, grabber blue, no appearance package, 600A, Recaros. Chassis R7411. Unknown if sold or owned
honestly surprised the stage 2 got CARB certified. i was so sure that stage 1 would be the only one to pass. glad to hear the Mustang owners in CA can have some supercharger fun, and legally
it might be a worthwhile investment to get a decent low profile jack and a 1/2" electric impact with a 21mm thin wall impact socket. if you get a good impact, it should be able to take the lugs off and let you remove your wheels at home either to switch them out for summer/winter or do a...
this is totally aside from your point, but if you see a dealer marking up a new non-ford Shelby vehicle, let Shelby North America know. they have no patience for that and will probably either threaten to our outright terminate their contract with that dealer. Shelby explicitly states that their...
here in AZ you get a neat little deal for trading in. the tax is essentially from the view of new vehicle price minus trade in value. so, if you buy a $60k vehicle, but trade something in for $35k, you will only have to pay the tax of the remaining $25k. i dunno if this is a standard thing...
i've heard some co-workers say that they can. its possible they meant that Ford will add a flag to the VIN about the warranty, though
i mean the ones whose desks are in the showroom, they tend to be more unpleasant to work with than the ones who are in the internet sales office or similar...
i just wanted to share some information about Ford from the perspective of someone who works in service and was a service advisor for a little bit
Everyone but sales hates the mark-ups too
trust me when i say that basically everyone else in the dealership aside from the people in sales hates...
looks like about 160mph is where it taps out? wonder if that is also true for the US version? i thought i read somewhere that the limiter on the Dark Horse is 168mph
i have no room to move with the offset. i cant go more negative because then it pokes more, and i cant go more positive because i am already as close to the shocks as i wish to be, and my alignment is basically perfect for my mix of autocross and daily driving. my only options are to either run...
