  1. No start issue.

    https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/car-wont-start.158592/ This is a like thread. Sorry, no fix or insight, but much of it seems to read like your (and others) issue. Some of us were suspecting a sensor (safety related? gear selector?) was lose or not making good contact.
  2. Chassis Number (non Dark Horse)

    It's my understanding Ecoboosts and GTs do not have a plate denoting a chassis number; those are affixed to Shelbys, GT350s, GT500s, Mach 1s and now Dark Horses. FWIW, the chassis numbers are random plates. While they note the year with a letter, the chassis number is not tied to the VIN or...
  3. Oil Separator-Good!

    I pulled some threads on the debate of using a can versus venting. Some owners will have unique applications with venting that does not involve the PCV valve and system. I'll set this category aside, as it often involves specific tuner/modder/part manufacturer recommendations. For the rest of...
  4. Gas Guzzler Tax

    I think I understand what your asking and the confusion when looking at the tax chart. If I look at the charts, they reference, "combined fuel economy", in the title. On my 22MY, this would be $2600 😳(17 MPG). I did not pay $2600. :whew: I paid $1000, which aligns to the mileage when looking...
  5. Anyone else find the cabin interior warm?

    I think it's normal for a fastback-type car. The S550, S650 rear window in-particular is close to flat. That, coupled with a dark interior, will receive and retain heat. On a clear day, the Earth receives close to 100W of power per square foot, .1 square meter, from the Sun. Pre-tint, I could...
  6. Gas Guzzler Tax

  7. 2025 Mustang Special Editions?

    Welcome to the forums. :clap: https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/introduce-yourself-to-mustang7g.156050/ It's something I'd like to be proven wrong on, but, other than a 60th Anniversary Edition, I would not expect a GT350/500, Boss or Cobra-like edition in 2025. - The current vehicle...
  8. Does your 5.0 Coyote consume oil?

    My comments are from last season. While I have a Gen3, I don't burn a drop. Oil expands when hot. I check my oil (when engine is fully-warmed up) as prescribed in the manual (Page 299): CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL 1. Make sure that your vehicle is on level ground. 2. Check the oil level...
  9. Oil life Monitoring Issue

    Should be the following. Just don't perform Step 4. Use the return arrow to exit back out. It's also available from within the Ford Pass App. From the 2024 Owners Manual, Printed Page 300: RESETTING THE INTELLIGENT OIL LIFE MONITOR 1. Press Settings on the touchscreen. 2. Press Vehicle...

  11. Oil life Monitoring Issue

    On the S550, the OLM ticks down 1.9% a week, and expires at the end of one year, just sitting. Increasing is definitely a problem. Difficult to see is ticking down so rapidly, either. The OLM doesn't know what kind of oil is in the car. But the BCM and PCM note how often the car is driven...
  12. Did i cause damage? YES, I ran over a large curb!

    Happy to read there was no damage. A neighbor with a Corvette showed me two features I wish Ford had: 1) if Magneride could temporarily raise itself, for getting over speed bumps or into steep driveways, 2) a front-facing camera.
  13. Price Increase

    Touch'e. I do see your point. By the time the ink is dry on the docs for a new car, $215 is something of a rounding error. Each individual will have their own perception what makes for a good-to-best deal. If both parties to the deal walk away happy, it seems difficult to improve on that. Were...
  14. Tread wear issue ? What is your recommendation?

    ^ This, +1. Trust, but verify. You do need new tires, but I'd like to affirm readings before buying a new set. As an example, mine are wearing level across almost all the surface area, while lessened a touch on the inner and outer edges. I use a Autometer 2160 gauge to check pressures, along...
  15. Price Increase

    It depends...there are several variables, but I'll go through a handful. At the time you place an order, everyone agrees to the price of the car: Ford, the dealer and you. Between then and you taking receipt of the car, Ford might increase prices on the base model or impacting options. If this...
  16. Car Wash

    Check. So, I'd say no, I would not expect any leakage. If you can, follow-up with a hose at home. It could help find the specific point and visually see what might be going on, if it is not already obvious. It'd also confirm how low the pressure can be when it does leak. Something most...
  17. Car Wash

    So as to help clarify what happened: "...pressure was pretty strong." I've read one thread where a Member used a wand at full power and inadvertently stripped decals off the paint; this level of pressure will go past door window seals. At the other extreme, household hose pressure should not...
  18. Driving Tips - Manual Transmission

    I looked for that in the 2022 manual. The statement is on page 232, under "Driving Economically". As @Dena mentioned, in doing so, you lose the benefit of free engine braking. The engine is spinning no matter what. The spent fuel can be used to brake the car (some benefit) or idle (wasted)...
  19. A/C not working??

    Thank You for keeping us updated on progress. I am a bit concerned of this dealer. When initially checking out the car, you'd mentioned they had to jump start it. The dealer should have been starting the car often enough where that was not necessary. Or, been aware of the starting issue and...
  20. Pickup Day

    I haven't read up on CA, but in FL, all sellers of these policies must be licensed with the state of FL. Granger does not have a license. FL consumer protection laws. It's a national, Ford policy. But that's the law in FL. I suspect CA is same. Edit: Confirmed same in CA. If you are an...
