  1. Virus

    I've noticed something going on with the Domain Name System (DNS) record for the 7G site. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/what-is-dns-how-it-works-domain-name-system Sometimes, I'm directed to this site, the true 7G site. Twenty-five percent of...
  2. Tire psi

    Starting at 42 psi / 2.89 bar, it would seem the dealer did not lower them to the recommended level from when the car was shipped. Good of you to check, and something for everyone to check, especially if traveling after signing. The placard in the door jam would be your starting reference. Mine...
  3. Paint issues?

    I'd consider the drainage issue and sheetmetal defects as abnormal, both worthy of a trip to the dealer. The first photo you posted, someone on 6G posted a like photo, of the inside of their right-rear quarter. It also appeared that someone at the factory attempted to make a repair, the...
  4. Brakes lock after washing

    That's exactly what is happening: the rotors have rusted to the pads. In normal operation, the calipers and pads hold the slightest amount of pressure to the disc and do not float freely with separation. The "clunk" you hear are the pads breaking free of the disc. If you find them stuck, one...
  5. Normal Oil Temperature for 5.0?

    https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/information-on-tempetures.195605/#post-3918185 I did something like this before, with a 6G, GT350 and 5.0, Gen 3. But I'm not sure anyone has baselined a S650, Gen 4 yet. There are a lot of variables: - Outside, ambient temp - Sitting at idle...
  6. Updated Ford Pass app

    Yea, I can be pretty dense sometimes. :crazy: I hadn't been scrolling down far enough while in the Dashboard page. :facepalm:As you showed with your screenshots, you can still add records. :thumbsup: Thanks.
  7. App Update Reset Oil Life

    From what I witnessed and reading other posts, we've often been experiencing differing effects from this "update". My OLM is OK and was not reset. But I've lost access to other previously-available Pass app features.
  8. Dark Horse Low Oil

    If at all possible, I would not run the car so low on oil. If you can top-up by self and record what you can, great. If not, I'd go straight to the dealer to have oil added. I know that's a PITA, but running two quarts down or more has the potential to make a bad situation worse. At the...
  9. Fuel for 2024 Mustang GT - premium or regular or mid grade fuel?

    I feel that, received HP and performance could be half of the discussion, pre-ignition and ping prevention being the other. An engine using a fuel with a lower octane level will be more susceptible to pinging, boosted (Turbo and SC) engines especially, than one using a higher octane. Its my...
  10. Dark Horse Low Oil

    So, you're at 7,000 mi / 11,250 km now. From taking receipt to today, how much oil have you added to the engine? Can you give us a rough idea of the rate of oil consumption? No smoke from under hood, under car or exiting the exhaust? Any loss of coolant? The oil, when viewed on the stick...
  11. Updated Ford Pass app

    I tried that yesterday, hoping I could continue. But the functionality at the Ford site, for me anyway, is now gone. When Members were first commenting on the app, I couldn't log into anything, even though I'd been consistently using it before. After going to the Ford site, I unlocked the...
  12. Leasing/Financing/Trade-ins/Credit

    I wouldn't be concerned about previous posts or this thread. You asked a question, got both insight and perspective. Overall, it was a win. On the topic of security, not listing personal information (people photos, license plates, address, landmarks, businesses, etc.) is generally all that's...
  13. Updated Ford Pass app

    Ford has deleted several features, one of which is you can no longer add service records. Warranty information (see ESP) which used to be listed, highlighted in a post above: gone. @Ford Motor Company , from my perspective, loss of these and other features renders the app all but worthless...
  14. Fuel for 2024 Mustang GT - premium or regular or mid grade fuel?

    Always Shell. Always Premium, which in my area is 91. If they offered 93 or higher, I'd take it. While the minimum is 87, the V8 is an engine running at a 12:1 compression ratio. Higher than minimum is welcome, for maximum power and pre-ignition prevention. Along with highest octane, select a...
  15. Leasing/Financing/Trade-ins/Credit

    Financing rates, credit scores and loan characteristics are highly-personalized. But I can think of a few topics you should be aware of: - Debt to income ratios. Any increases to debt while income remains the same will reduce your credit score, while potentially increasing assigned interest...
  16. Regarding the 2024 Mustang GT Engine Block Heater

    That's a great idea and I can see that working. I just checked eBay. Incandescents can still be had. :thumbsup:
  17. 2024 GT hood vent issues - water / rain on engine, belts, wiring?

    FWIW, no one reports any long-term issues with the S550s. One vent is to promote airflow across the air filter. The other, to reduce under hood pressure and heat. Mine are at least partially open all the time. Never experienced a problem.
  18. Best tires/wheel setup for Forced Induction

    The car is to be a FI DD. What weather and road conditions are expected throughout the year? Lowest temps to be seen? How often are rain, dense moisture like fog and other damp conditions expected?
  19. Regarding the 2024 Mustang GT Engine Block Heater

    I've been meaning to add a comment of tires, freezing temperatures and storage. If Summer tires are being kept on the car, and the car will be stored in temperatures where a block heater is used, anyone doing so would want to study the topic of protecting the tires before those temperatures...
  20. Dealer Test drive refusal?!?!

    You'll get a wide variety of responses on these topics, for several reasons: personalities, location, definition, current market, etc. I saw my OTD price as this: Car (presented as ordered, with no dealer add-ons) Tax Registration (1st year) Doc fees Insurance (1st year) OTD for me was what...
