@theslerg ..... IMO a priority 19 means no rush at all. It almost says I don't care when I get it. Now - that said - sometimes the very initial number by the dealer is marked 19 (at the dealership) until the purchaser makes a committent then the dealer changes it immediately to a MUCH lower...
Just accepted my new 2024 Premium GT Convertible from my deraler yesterday. They expect some news in 2028 about changes. There was no mention of hybrid technology or even changing the Coyote. there was speculation there might be some bosdy tweaking and possibly including the magnetic dampening...
Friend owned a dealership. They take a whack of money off of any vehicle that has been smoked in. You can rent an ozonator - if you are super careful not to kill yourslef with the thing and get your vehicle to a dealership fast before the smell returns and it will.
@Lou G ..... regardless of any state's consumer protection act assistance unless a consumer has deep, deep pockets to hire experts and lawyers they have zero chance if they have modified any product. This is not to be confused with clear manufacturer negligence that resuts in class action...
@MustangMitch69 ....EXACTLY. My grandfather had a big equipment company with about 20 technicians. In their spare time they would build custom auto and maruine engines for friends and family. They had shop CNCs, deckers, lathes, mills, presses, dynos you name it. Word spread and people asked for...
......you can do almost nothing without voiding warranty which INCLUDES items installed by a Ford dealer who says it is covered by warranty. Ford Corporate is bound by NOTHING a Ford dealer promises as they are seperate entities. IF you want to conduct any sort of modification contact Ford...
.....rule numbers 1-5 on high HP builds are spread the money evenly across components. Hellacious power will destroy the next weakest component. No purpose in having 2000HP if you detonate your transmission and overpower your cooling.
@DevilDog ....., my buddy had a 396 Nova SS - a legally murderous car. He had switchable headers on it and a lot of other work. It was named Claim Jumper and he used to go out hunting for 'vettes. One night he raced a guy for pink slips (ownershop where I come from) and won. The guy had to buy...
@Wiley Marmot ..... but you lived to tell the tale and I bet it is quite some tale when you get into the details.....another great family legacy to instruct the grandchildren how it SHOULD be done!
Before my friend sold his GM delaership about 5 years ago he said he hated warranty work. It used to be great but in the last 15 years or so GM paid far less hourly labor charges than his shop menu, the paperwork was a huge burden then GM started asking for parts etc. He said there were long...
When I was trading-in my 2024 for my new 2026 Mustang I gave the dealer my VIN. He called back to say that I had indeed taken great care of my engine but did I know it was showing a "low battery condition" The car was in storage in my garage so I peeled off the winter cover and sure enough it...
Thank God, IMO, that the USA steps-up and has since WWI to ensure the safety of the entire world. IMO the gas prices will be a short inconvenience to guarantee world safety via the defanging of Iran's maniacial determination to acquire a nuclear weapon. I'll gladly pay some more at the pump so...
......and that comment is, in my opinion, great for the longevity of the Mustang brand itself. My grand daughter, 16 years old and her girlfriends - who seem to be totally blase about almost everything - drool over my Mustang GT Premium Convertible. They all want to get one. I asked the group...
You should be covered by warranty BUT remember every move you have ever made with that car has been tracked and is available to the dealer and Ford. My friend owned a marina. Sold a guy a pair of $30K outboards for his go fast. There was a specified break-in procedure and a warm-up procedure for...
It is what it is. This should all be over soon and then it will just keep betting better. Sold a big 38 foot cruiser with twin 502s with Bravo III XL counter rotating props a few years ago. Each engine was 430 HP. When "just on plane cruising " I burned 25 gallons an hour and a lot more if I...
@bbowes9 ..... many thanks for that clearly demonstrated need to action that recall for anyone who was putting it off. A picture speaks a thousand words!
