  1. Battery tender - no bonnet lift needed?

    Different generation, but I fabricated a simple extension of the existing pigtail, then ran that to the front. There's a gap in the headlight area the cable runs past. I use a small piece of foam, wrapped around the extension, to protect it from getting nicked. The extension uses the same gauge...
  2. No Mustang production scheduling for the next two weeks…

    Ford is still taking orders for 2026. Production can continue as late as September. A Canadian spec. IIRC there are Canadian-only production runs; this might be why the order remains unscheduled. As this generation will continue into the 2027 Model Year, they wouldn't stop making 26s until...
  3. Hill assist not working

    There's a few variables I'm not aware of. If this was a factory install and if the car has less than 36,000 mi / 57,000 km, I'd return to the dealer and open a case. The existing factory warranty should cover the repair. If not... The car now has a Whipple, and I suspect an aftermarket tune or...
  4. Big vs. Small Dealerships

    I don't see the size of the dealership as a determining factor in pricing. Buying a vehicle can be like shopping for insurance: there are a lot of variables that affect the price and experience. I've purchased two new vehicles in the last five years. In both, I started with by trolling internet...
  5. Transmission coolant line interference

    People seeing the thread can check their vehicles and chime in. But I also think it's related more to the work that was accomplished before. Maybe the lowering of the vehicle changed the alignment of several pieces. Maybe people working on the front end above and below. IDK. Modern vehicles are...
  6. Convertible top button peeling

    Second the comment on lotions, potions and liquids used on hands, any cleaning agents used in the interior. Sanitizers in-particular can wreak havoc with plastics, coatings and other finishes. Anything from interior door hands, to shift knobs and buttons. Many household cleaners can be harsh on...
  7. Base GT brake job - DIY tips & info

    https://www.motorcraftservice.com/Purchase/ViewProduct If not aware of the site, Ford offers procedure information the dealer techs use. They offer 3-day access for $30. With that, you can download as much as you like. The files are listed as individual tasks and references, not as a book or...
  8. What offset will work

    One of our sponsors, Dragracingwheels.com, created the attached; it might help in making offset decisions.
  9. Break In Oil - change at 500mi or at 1,000mi?

    The Owner Manual specifies the following for Eco and 5.0 engines: WSS-M2C961-A1, 5W-30 The Ford requirement translates to API SP and ILSAC GF-6A. Checking Motorcaft, Valvoline, Castrol and O'Reilly's oil brands, I could not find a dino oil that was API SP, GF-6A and 5W-30. Most conventional...
  10. Changing tire size, regearing and computer update

    A dealer would not want to get involved because it changes the vehicle's baseline, what the car was sold as. It creates a series of liabilities they'd not want to be associated with. The OP has a connect for the physical replacement of the gears. Another shop in the area specific to tuning or...
  11. Front tow hook cover replacement

    They are different in shape. One is square. The other square, with a corner cut. They fit different bumper assemblies. One is for the DH, the other GTs. Given the part number, I'd poke around eBay from time-to-time.
  12. Break In Oil - change at 500mi or at 1,000mi?

    I feel 1000 mi / 1600 km is a good time for the initial oil change, yes. Break-in oil is not required for these engines. Follow the recommended weights in the owners manual. There are a lot of great brands available. Select an oil that meets or exceeds Ford's recommendations. Enclosed are...
  13. Leaking Magneride rear shock and front strut

    Disappointed those items failed so soon. No excuse to see them leaking so early. Way to early. We can empathize. Some (insert make here) dealers have horrible reputations. Agree with others: use the warranty. Not only for costs, but to prevent any washing of hands if future issues develop. At...
  14. TPMS Receiver Fault?

    To clarify, if you check all four wheels' pressures on-screen, is it only the one wheel that is acting up? Does any wheel register pressure consistently? Does the fob work to lock and unlock the car? If so, the vehicle's receiver and wiring are good. The fob and TPMS transmit to the same...
  15. anyone else's auto throttle input for manuals giving out?

    Automatic throttle input I'm not familiar with. But there are three things that could help with what you're describing. Manual Mustangs do have Hill Start Assist on by default. When on an incline and at idle, the vehicle will brake and hold itself until the driver attempts to move. On my first...
  16. Reasonable price to order a new DH?

    Given the current market, I would pay no more than MSRP for the following: a custom order tailored to your liking. No dealer mark-up. No dealer add-ons. If at a dealer and they had something on the lot or arriving soon, I'd expect MSRP to a modest (2%) discount for a DH. This is based on...
  17. Am I cooked?

    The bumper-to-bumper warranty is 3Y, 36,000 mi / 57,600 km. The powertrain warranty is 5Y, 60,000 mi / 96,000 km. Automatics are complicated. Could be something simple, like a stuck valve in the valve body, a solenoid needing replacement or low fluid. Transmissions are ocasionally found a...
  18. Used DH HP manuals are scarce?

    Autotrader gives me an idea of what's out there, what the retail prices are. I tried Hemmings this morning, hoping to see more private listings. But there were only three DHs on offer. Bring A Trailer has several Mustang listings. A pitfall of this site is it's auction-focused. The 6G site...
  19. Used DH HP manuals are scarce?

    I went out to Autotrader and did a nationwide search. 24-25 MT DHs on offer: 113. 24-25 MT, HP DHs on offer: 34. For either search, I did not drill down to see if I could select Recaros. I did not select 26s. Using Mach 1s as a reference, the numbers are equally low. When I last searched...
  20. First S650 2024 Ford Mustang Diecast! 1/18 Dark Horse in Carbonized Gray

    Available for sale...eBay has many on offer. Notice there is a #64 and a #65 car.
