  1. Ford Performance 5.0 Charger/Maintainer

    The tender I received has two ends. 1. A standard 120V wall outlet, to power the tender. 2a. Pig tail cable with two alligator clips. One end attaches to the car. The other, the tender. 2b. Cable with eyed connectors, for screwing down on something. In the thread I referenced above, I...
  2. Ford Performance 5.0 Charger/Maintainer

    With a traditional charger, the device provides a constant force, to charge the battery. There's little, if any, intelligence involved. With a tender/maintainer, it charges the battery up to the appropriate amount, while conditioning it. The maintainer exercises the battery, to keep it in peak...
  3. UPDATES

    Ford has been encouraging people to setup or confirm Over The Air updates have been enabled. I received the emails a few times, even though my Model Year is not involved with OTAs. Yes, as the updates process, they draw a lot of power. This search references several threads on the OTA model...
  4. All Season Tire Recommendations?

    I'm currently on Michelin 4 A/S, like them and will continue to use them. Continental makes an equally fine offering. I don't think you can go wrong with either A/S.
  5. Did your know that the tire monitoring on Fords is NOT that accurate?

    Skye is the first car I've had with an in-dash display. Settling in with the car, I confirmed a few things: - Using an AutoMeter 2160, the car and gauge were never more than .5 psi / .034 bar different - The old-school, pen-style gauge, used for years, was 2 psi / .13 bar off everything; it...
  6. Dark Horse 2026!!

    Pure speculation on my part, but I think it will be produced for another, if not two more years. Using other trims as a reference (GT350/R, Mach, GT500), Ford typically produces these for three to five years. In the final year of production, Ford often creates Heritage Editions. Setting that...
  7. White stuff/oxidation on brand new car brake caliper?

    Understood. I was looking at the caliper as well. To the hub, I'm not concerned about that. My discs are rusty within 30 minutes of washing the car. To get it off the surface where the pad meets the disc, I do a parade lap around the block, before putting in the garage. I like @dusman59 's...
  8. White stuff/oxidation on brand new car brake caliper?

    🍿 I noticed from your profile: California. For clarification, do you live in a costal area? Reason I ask is I remember a thread or two in the 6G forum with GT500 owners, living in Florida. Some were noticing oxidation occurring on their superchargers. To them, it was an appearance only issue...
  9. PREMIUM-VS-REGULAR GAS FOR 2024 GT??

    In many areas, altitude will affect the octane on offer. High altitude locations are often 91, max.
  10. May 2025 Mustang Sales Figures

    https://s205.q4cdn.com/882619693/files/doc_financials/2025/q1/Ford-Q1-2025-Earnings-Presentation.pdf This is Ford's latest report. It includes units sold, income, margins and projected costs of tariffs.
  11. Off Brand (non-Tier 1) Gasoline

    In my area, several Circle K stores used to offer Shell gas. No more. Now, they receive from "whoever". Maverick does not offer Top Tier. They may have expanded too quick though. Several stations closed. Kum and Go is another new addition. They are not Top Tier. We continue to have Shell...
  12. S650 Tech Packages Suck: Prove Me Wrong

    Those concerned of surveillance via tech can perform a few tasks: - Disconnect the satellite antenna - Disconnect the Telematics Control Unit - Factory default Sync/Google Android - If using the Ford Pass App, delete the vehicle/s associated with it None of those will affect the driving of the...
  13. Oil Life at 0% After 300 Miles

    I've attached a few references on track time, oil life and the Oil Life Monitor: - An explanation of the message flow between components - From the Mach 1 Supplement, oil change after four hours of track time - The S650 Owners Manual, printed page 439, lists the same interval But yes, your...
  14. S650 Tech Packages Suck: Prove Me Wrong

    I can only speak to the S550. Haven't studied the following in the S650, but I imagine it's the same. Bluetooth: yes. Primarily for door and trunk use with fob, personal devices, security. Some tech using this link is always on, some, via the dash, controlled by the operator. Good for about 30...
  15. Suspension and torque to yield bolts and reuse

    I'm including @LevittownFordParts in this thread; they are a sponsor of the site and supporter. You can also PM them directly with the part numbers you're seeking. Please include your VIN in the PM. There's also Ford OEM parts on-line and Ford Performance; they might have some of these items...
  16. Fried car?

    The OP of the video, looking at his reddit account...he tends to inflict damage first, then seek help on reddit. - The battery charger. I honestly thought that was a legacy rod-type welding machine. But I expanded the video and did some frame-by-frame viewing. That charger was in use when Moses...
  17. Is active exhaust just a variable muffler delete?

    To compliment the thread and posts, an internal look of the central resonator. Edit, The photos of the muffler and resonator can help explain their differences. In the resonator below, it is more or less a straight pipe, but the pipes have holes. Some of the wave energy enters the chambers...
  18. Is active exhaust just a variable muffler delete?

    I do not consider AE a muffler delete. Muffler and resonator delete can be brutally loud, all the time. For those not familiar with the system, I'm attaching some photos of a valve, the flap in the pipe and the internals of a AE muffler itself. Ford has spent a good many years getting the...
  19. K&N intake problem

    Attached are two threads of K&N filters and alarms. There is at least another but I stopped at two. K&N, especially the oiled type, cause issues. https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/check-engine-light-after-installing-k-n-air-filter-and-removing-carbon-traps.160973/...
  20. Magneride unpredictable at best

    I can think of a few things... - Lower tire pressures to 32-23, cold. I don't think this is the root cause, but 34 cold seems a bit much. Check the placard in the door jamb - Reset Magneride. The process might be different to reset or zero-out the system in the S650, but there is one for the...
