@Sig Oris .......molten magenta metallic tri-coat you say? I traded our 2024 Premium GT convertible in vapor blue metallic for a 2026 Premium GT in molten magenta metallic tri-coat. The difference was the 2026 will have 20" rims and the big one for me active valve exhaust. It is scheduled for...
@Sig Oris ......don't worry about a vert in Maine. It's -23 outside where I live. My baby is under a cover waiting for Spring. Then it's 8 months of driving weather.......well six great months and a couple with the heater on lol. BTW beautiful color scheme. My 2014 was Oxford white with black...
I guess I have been very lucky. My 2014 never gave me a problem. Sold it to a good friend in 2024 when I bought a 2024 GT Premium Convertible. Not ONE issue with it in 2 years. It's sitting under a cover waiting for the 2026 GT Premium Convertible to arrive (build date set at February 23rd) and...
.....as the American economy continues to lead the world there will be more disposable income and where will you be able to get a great American muscle car, I ask rhetorically? Mustang rules.
@Idle0024 ..... regarding an aftermarket drive shaft. IMO NO. The rust won't hurt anything, painting or coating it won't improve anything and might unbalance it. A friend bought a very expensive aftermarket drive shaft. After three replacements due to vibration he went back to the original. I...
Yes, normal. Not great looking but common. Don't try to paint is as you could unbalance it. I had an ocd friend who wiped it with machine oil. It did look better and may retard the rust. If your differential isn't painted it too will rust. Many leave the factory or more likely the staging lots...
.......everyone knows this, right? The OEM Mustang "air boxes" are connected to snorkels that exit lower down on the front grille, by quite a bit and so far there are no reports of water intrusion from them. The OEM filters, AFE filters and Roush filters would only let water in if you - as @Lou...
@AZ_Ryan ..... so you know the cause of the BBQ tic? Wow, you should go on a speaking tour. The advice I was given was from a family member who was a GM engine engineer, family members (who I helped when younger) build race engines, and a Ford engineer i spoke with. Using a Full synthetic...
......from a guy who purchased the Roush clear view intake box covers - that price is nuts. Go to Ford Performance....or find a totaled DH whose wing is intact.
......sounds a lot like my buddy's 2024 GT and my 2024 GT. I don't hear anything alarming but I'd still have a service diagnostic with its numbered invoice for my peace of mind.
.....IMO you don't need Ceratec and shouldn't use it. Instead use FULL synthetic and if you don't want the BBQ tic pre-fill your oil filter (two steps) at every oil change.
@Stitch650, fingers crossed for you but I think if it was damaging metallic sound you would have had a failure by now and you also have a lengthy warranty ahead of you. An audio/video is a great idea and having it recorded "officially" via a dealership WO should protect you completely. I have...
@LouG .... those straight cut gears are on the oil pump, I believe, but still the same whine and yes, if I'm near a wall it does sound like a supercharger!
@StitchS650 ..... understood and completely reasonable. Go to your dealer and have them listen to it AND open a case number ...... my friend did that with what he termed a transmission noise on his 2024 GT and got a service department receipt with a service case number. He has had no problems at...
Go to a dealership site and read the reviews - read enough and you should have a pretty good idea what to expect. Your attitude when talking with any dealership personnel will determine how well you do. Look at a Long McArthur (huge Ford dealership) youtube videos on how to order a Ford Mustang...
.....the10R80 design/development was a joint Ford/GM venture. The 10R80 is very robust because it has straight cut gears that said there is a distinct whine if you are near an area that will allow reverberation. This noise is in no way a fault or mechanical problem - it's only a problem if you...
