The only regret I have about my 2024 GT convertible is that it did not have the active exhaust on it. I can find no aftermarket switchable/aftermarket system that will fit the convertible (the exhaust pipes/runners must fit under the rear frame brace master plate and most aftermarket systems say...
@Gregs24 .... respectfully disagree. My 2024 GT does not tic at all - not even a hint. This is not normal valvetrain "noise" the BBQ/Typewriter Tic is an erratic, loud annoying noise. I am NOT trying to turn this into another re-hash of the reasons - I want to know if this "tic" is STILL being...
......fast forward to late 2025 early 2026 Mustang Coyote engines. Is anyone hearing reports of recent models having the Coyote Tic, BBQ Tic or Typewriter Tic Whatever you want to call it)......Just wondering if it has been solved (by Ford) and is now a thing of the past (having been solved) or...
Nope. Never did this with any of the built car or marine engines we did. In "the day" doing this would result in raw gas into your cylinders and oil dilution. Even right now "these days" too much can go wrong. Anyway, if you use FULL synthetic and your engine sits for six months there will...
@antimatterblueknight .... sorry for your troubles. We all have them. I have incurable bone marrow cancer, that said I still think your post was 90% useless. You wait TWO years to get a brake related recall fixed and whine about everything in between. This forum has so many great members (many I...
......I am astounded that anyone would delay a such an important recall then have the nerve to whine about the repercussions. If this isn't an early April Fool's joke or a Troll then it is a perfect definition of idiocy. As they say "If you wait long enough stupid will show up".
@canzaecho .... agree but slight correction - the agent didn't say immediately but as soon as available. By this I interpreted his comment meant within a reasonable amount of time - like as soon as the dealer could schedule you in as opposed to a year later. Of course, I agree, much of what we...
Sorry but I'm going to add to the discussion. I just called my insurance agent. He is a cool guy even if he drives a competitor's ride (Dodge Hellcat). He said - read the fine print on your policy. You are required to have recalls completed as soon as they are available to maintain coverage. I...
@Gregs24 ..... what you say makes sense. I was told that Ford does not keep recalls open indefinitely and were I to trade-in my 2024 in say 2027 or 08 Ford might not pay for the recall and I would be stuck with the cost.....that also makes sense.
@BimmerDriver ..... good information. Thank you for your thoughts. To clarify, I was not told I couldn't sell the car. I was told that the dealership would not accept the car as a trade if it had an open recall on it until the work had been completed as they could not "legally" sell it under...
My 2024 GT premium convertible was built in September 2024. The only issue I had and it was minor was I had to adjust the two adjustable stops for the trunk lid as it closed too tight and the paint was getting marked at the outer edge of each trunk to body contact point. Again, minor.
..... a lot of great suggestions on this forum, as usual. I'll add the following. My GT is stored for the winter. Received my recall notice for this flaw a few weeks ago. My Ford dealership told me I could have the "repair" done in the spring. I was at another big Ford dealership today that...
@Notils ..... I don't have specifications for Mustang gaps but the gaps on North American cars are usually wider than on European cars which concerns Europeans when they see the gaps. Do you have a picture or a mm measure?
@Jdio ..... I assume you had those "typhoons" power coated? Do you know if you can purchase the intake runners without the air boxes? I already have Corsa air boxes.
@Ghostrealm - I get your concern 100% .....you can get lifting chocks and pads of a number of varieties that will fit over your pinch welds or onto the jack to protect your welds. Agree 100% that on many Mustangs these have been destroyed by idiots. When I sold my 2014 Mustang before buying my...
