Congrats on the build. :thumbsup:

Flat Rock, yes?
Looking back through previous threads, Ford schedules were Wed-Wed; this constituted one week of production. The term week means they will be assembling vehicles in that block of time, but it does not mean they will be building cars every day.
The number of shifts per day...
Different vehicle manufacturer systems can have different operating characteristics, but some additional thoughts on training new wheels:
- The pressures in the wheels should be what's required for the vehicle. Wheels pressured too high or too low can cause problems. Even one wheel too...
I'd double-back with them to confirm what's installed, maybe having to breakdown one wheel to check.
Something that plagues many wheel swaps is the use of non-OEM sensors. Many times they work. Sometimes they don't. In the US, the sensor frequency did change from the 6G to the 7G cars. I'm not...

Are these Ford sensors you're trying to train? Another brand?
While you're at it, I'd also take the time to re-check the routing of all wiring, connectors, vacuum lines, etc. Check to see that things are connected well, but also out of the way, so as not to melt once the engine is up to temps. Space is tight. Visibility in some areas is less than ideal...
The topic of if a dealer will install an item arises from time-to-time. Will the dealer install the part? Most will not.
An excerpt from the 7G Warranty Guide:
"The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover any damage caused by:
•alterations or modifications of the vehicle, including the...
We've had a few threads about fluctuating coolant levels, downward-trending coolant or coolant smells.
The smell of coolant seems to be the most common characteristic. At a given pressure, the coolant overflow tank will gas-off to the engine. If you study your overflow tank, there should be a...
It's not necessarily an issue. If you intend to hold the car for quite some time, the history will later show the event was a one-off and that was that.
As part of any negotiations, ask the dealer to throw in an extended warranty for free.
Ask the dealer for an Oasis Report. That report captures all the warranty work that has been done since the car was new. It should offer additional insight, like customer and mechanic comments. CarFax listed the vibration. The Oasis might clarify the issue. And it could also list several other...
This specific example could be weather-related.
Because of the tires installed on HP cars (they can crack in below-40F/4C temps), Ford doesn't build those vehicles from about Nov-Mar. It's normal for someone to place an order in a Winter month, with the build not moving forward until April or...
Ford has a general idea of how many of what vehicle they can build at any given time. If they can build 500 in one cycle, they'll have a pool of 500 allocations available to all dealers. The allocation system ensures every dealer has a chance to order at least one vehicle. Ford does skew those...
I use Autotrader when looking for comps. https://www.autotrader.com/
$40K for what you describe rates low price-wise. If a retail sale from a dealer, I'd be critical. If a private sale from an individual, I'd want to know more.
See if you can get an oasis report from a Ford dealer. This report...
I'm refreshing myself on this topic and including several links, one of which references a Special Service Message that might be involved.
The problem you're encountering plagued several cars early on in production. I noticed your car is a 2024; it might be one of those.
The fix is simple: at...
I quit years ago.
Even if still smoking, I'd never consider it in a vehicle. No open containers of food either.
IDK what the hit is, but I imagine the discount to value of a smoked-in car is high.
I've been using a set sold by Race Ramps for the last few years. Light. Easy to maneuver. Four years of use, they continue to look new. The set I'm referencing have a 7-degree up angle, safe for the Mach 1 HP. I'd think they'd clear the DH as well.

I use the same. :thumbsup:
To the OP, the Daytona is an all-steel jack. It's built to last and comes highly rated. If needing a jack for the road or track, I'd select something else, like an aluminum or an aluminum/steel piece. These would not be as robust, but they'd be easier to move, around...
Could've just been a poor battery that needs replacing. But some use scenarios could drain it.
If you have an in-car charging pad, DO NOT place the fob on or near the pad. The exchange of electricity could permanently damage the fob. Keep it away from all charging pads, induction charging...
I've enclosed a general search of several 6G threads on the topic.
If it's wash day, I do the following:
- I wash early in the morning, when it's coolest
- After driving and before washing, I put the car in the garage and pop the hood. I let the engine, brakes and exhaust cool for about 30...
I use a combination of spreadsheet and Moleskine hardback notebook (with stickers!).
When commenting in the notebook, different colored pens represent different activities:

- Black. Maintenance
