  1. Dark horse still unscheduled.

    https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/dark-horse-order-fail-news-letter-from-ford.159369/ I notice you referenced an HP build. You might already be aware of this issue, but if not, the link could help. Many of us were under the impression that HP orders would be paused and pick up again the...
  2. Winter tire suggestions for the Dark Horse

    It's going to be difficult, if not impossible, to find A/S or Winter tire in that width. I swapped to different rims and tires on my '22. The immediate benefit is obvious: I can find tires of any kind to match the condition. A secondary benefit is preserving the factory original rims. To help...
  3. Officially 3 Months in Shipping!!!

    Not to be upsetting, but there could be body or mechanical damage. In transit, the car is Ford's. Any issues will be discussed and handled between Ford corporate and the shippers. The dealer will not have insight of any kind. Extensive delays could involve insurance claims, Ford discussing the...
  4. Michelin pilot all season 4s vs Continental Extreme contact DWS

    In tire characteristics, pro driver opinions and buyer reviews, they're very close to one another. I can't see one going wrong selecting either tire. IMO, it's a coin toss. :idea: If you can buy one set cheaper than the other, so much the better. :thumbsup:
  5. Is my GT engine missing a strut bar?

    I can't remember seeing one before where selecting the color of the text was an option. Nice. :thumbsup:
  6. Weird burnt rubber smell on delivery

    I had a wide variety of burning smells that first ride home, yes. Assembly lubes and sealers. New, unweathered materials. Countless hands all over the mechanicals during assembly, shipment and final inspection. The burning smells occurred while bringing the car up to its operating temperature...
  7. First oil change

    Ceratec is an appreciated and widely-used additive. Many use it from first oil change forward without issue. For those in your warranty period, and with the Gen4 being in year one, it might be in your best interest to not add anything to the engine oil until the factory warranty has expired. In...
  8. Time from Built to Shipped?

    Somewhat nearby in CO. From built to shipped was four days. From shipped to arrival took nine. With another two days for off-loading, inspection, documents, etc. Chat up your dealer now, ask them to recover the build sheet from inside the car, if you'd like it. Once the car is built at the...
  9. First oil change

    I changed mine shortly after 1,000 mi / 1,600 km. Leftovers from factory machining and assembly, along with break-in material, are present. I've had oil analysis performed on the first and now second oil changes. There's something of a flushing effect which occurs with those changes, to remove...
  10. Ford extended warranty questions

    During Ford's last reporting, their earnings were a bit lower than expected. Ford announced they were slow-walking some EV investments. Otherwise, they were OK. Looking at their latest financials, Ford has $45B sitting in cash and short-term investments. The company most recently generated a...
  11. New Mustang Order

    I stand corrected. It reads like Ford Canada is one of the few who does not. I suspect to help protect peoples' privacy and reduce unsolicited and unwanted e-mails.
  12. New Mustang Order

    Yes, Ford does. You should receive a confirmation e-mail from Ford within 24 hours. Most receive confirmation within a few moments of the order going in. I received mine within an hour. Some reasons for not receiving: - The Dealer input your e-mail incorrectly - The Dealer input their e-mail...
  13. Dark Horse Handling Package April 2024 Purgatory

    Genuinely sorry to read that. I believe virtually all of us simply expected HP orders to rollover into 2024 and be built in the Spring. Maybe a quick confirmation from the Dealer, "Yes! Customer still wants!" Ford is an multi-billion dollar, international company. Seems like they could do...
  14. Order cancellation

    Every dealer has their own process. You'd have to discuss the details with your salesperson or review your order documentation. Sometimes, state rules come into play (often in favor of the buyer). Have they provided feedback why the car has not been scheduled? Did the dealer clarify to you...
  15. Wheel size for both summer/winter

    I use the following sites often for reference purposes. https://www.tyresizecalculator.com/charts/tire-width-for-a-wheel-rim-size-chart https://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator I've been using the Michelin A/S 4 tires since pickup and have enjoyed them. One of the better A/S...
  16. Dark Horse pickup

    Congrats on getting the ride home. I suspect you mean "hot air." Sorry to read it isn't working. Hopefully, it will be an easy fix at the dealer. I wouldn't worry about the tires. Taken to the end of their life, 40 psi / 2.75 bar would have resulted in the center treads wearing too soon. But...
  17. How many miles were on your car at delivery?

    At least for the travel from factory to dealer, the car should have been placed in a transport or delivery mode; the mode would have prevented those moving the vehicle from committing some of the most abusive behaviors. Yes, this mode can be deactivated by the driver, for those who know the...
  18. Catch can results @ 1K mile oil change on 2024 Mustang GT V8 Engine

    It's a good question. IDK about transmissions, but I do know different driving or setups (track vs. street, blown vs. NA) can result in different amounts between cars. I'd expect that. If an Owner with a can, I'd monitor for consistency and take action when concerned. I have an MT. In the...
