  1. Catch can results @ 1K mile oil change on 2024 Mustang GT V8 Engine

    What you witnessed at that mileage is about what I pull on a unmodified Gen 3 5.0. In the store in the cooking section, they often sell any number of measuring cups with discreet markings. At the first interval, 1250 miles / 2011 kms of use, I had drawn 15ml or close to 1 tbsp. I captured as...
  2. Hood Vinyl Decal Wax

    For those getting their cars ceramic coated, the protection can be added to the decals. For those receiving PPF, decals are often not covered. The film does not take well to the transition from paint-to-decal and back again. It tends to lift. PPF can brought right to the edge of the decal...
  3. Anti Theft Devices- What do you recommend?

    1. Faraday pouches, one for each fob. If you're not in the car, keep the fob in the pouch. 2. Always lock the car, even if parked in the garage. Bluetooth signals can travel well. You want to prevent fob-to-vehicle interaction as much as possible, to prevent clone and relay attacks. I...
  4. Attn: Aftermarket Companies - you can make this!

    No disrespect to Ford, but I'd expect them to continue to be silent. Any TSB-like or recall decisions will be made by corporate, after they've studied the problem and come up with a solution. To even say, "We're on it!", implies they've accepted there's a fault and are committed to fixing it...
  5. TPMS 2024 GT

    In another thread, @roket provided PN#s and a learning procedure. Check it out:
  6. 2024 Mustang GT Premium - Wouldn't Start

    I like your thinking. The safety-like switch or gear-selector switch, that mechanism or function, could very well be your problem. I'm afraid I cannot offer anything other than empathy. I can appreciate the need for the car. Options... If you return the car to the Dealer and explain...
  7. Ford dealer/warranty work and oil changes

    IDK why they didn't install a trap door of some kind like on the S550. I understand the general principles of aero and all that, but you'd think they could arrive at a better solution versus having to remove the entire tray. Production cost savings, I'm assuming. Like the battery cover pins...
  8. Ford dealer/warranty work and oil changes

    With pictures. Thank You @Pyroguy .
  9. Battery relocation: Watson Racing kit?

    https://antigravitybatteries.com/ I understand a racing setup might have unique requirements. At the price for the relocation kit, you might consider sizing a lithium unit from AntiGravity.
  10. 2024 GT Quirks…so far

  11. New Ford Product at Flat Rock plant

  12. Ford dealer/warranty work and oil changes

    Using the Ford Pass App, an Owner can record their maintenance by uploading receipts, photos and screenshots of the work done, along with the date and cost. Owners can also make updates at the CarFax site. I update both sites each time I do maintenance.
  13. Got a letter from Ford

    It's great letters are going out. :clap:For those interested, once you have a VIN and proof you have purchased the vehicle, you should be able to schedule track dates. Receipt of the letter is a great keepsake, but not required for scheduling or attending. :whew:
  14. You Can Now Complain Directly to Ford Engineers from Your Car

    This is an interesting feature. And a step towards goodness. But it isn't something I'de ever use. At installation, any application or electronic device, I go through all the menus, disabling services and features I either won't use or don't care for. Direct customer feedback is one of those...
  15. 2024 Mustang

    Technically, I'd like to see something in CFD or from a windtunnel. What's this car's aero profile? Changes in lap times? Drivability? Cooling? Just because the car looks fast (and stable) doesn't mean it is. Styling, the above is akin to taking a bazooka to a knife fight. I prefer an elegant...
  16. 13mpg avg in dark horse first 1k miles

    One thousand miles would have averaged out a lot of stuff within the trip odometer statistics. Driving in 1) Track or Snow/Wet mode while 2) city driving is going to lower the MPG. Spirited driving in those modes could lower MPG further still. Different Gen V8, but I have a M6. Ninety percent...
  17. Carbon filter

    IDK. With respect to the Mustang, they are a non-serviceable item. I checked the 2022 and 2024 Owner's Manuals. There is no mention of these traps. My truck is a 2008. Toyota has a fabric-like screen installed, just behind the intake filter. I've never messed with it. Never replaced. nothing...
  18. Carbon filter

    The traps are an effort to capture or block unspent fuel vapors which normally waft out of the intake once the car has been turned off. For the people which have removed them :bandit:, take a quick sniff.
  19. Window Sticker

    At the time, mine became available one day after Skye officially entered Production. Parts, schedule, position on the line, true date of Production, etc., were set then, so the document would not have to be updated any further. Yes, Ford's information systems can be off +/- several days...

    Titanium, IIRC.
