@S650sunshine ..... the main results will be plug fouling emissions control devices. There shouldn't be enough oil leakage to damage the cats - unless there is almost total bypass. Nevertheless, you should get the seals replaced.
Prayers for those who are suffering from the devastating weather this weekend. Tornadoes and fires have claimed too many. Hope fellow forum members and families are safe.
You can't beat this forum for amusement. Watching videos, reading a book and BBQing in your cars ....too funny. Would sure let the insurance company off the hook if you rear ended someone......and you know the guy you rear ended would claim back and neck pain for life - it'd be cheaper to just...
@Upacurb ..... I hear you brother! Pretty much nothing is new to me or a first at this time of my life. I admit I do get a bit cranky late at night. I also could have expressed myself better. I probably should have phrased my reply thus: last summer there was a knock at my door. There was a...
I'm confused (nothing new here). People drive a Mustang then compare different aspects of a bunch of other vehicles to the Mustang to show areas that it lacks in comparison. If the other car(s) is/are so great why didn't the "reviewers" just they buy one of them? How is the Mustang (or any car)...
@Allanrock59 ...... sounds cool but I have a question when you say 15K lumens do you mean 15,000 lumens? If so, awesome, but you should ensure they are set low enough to be considered "fog" lights, not "driving" as 15,000 lumens is serious power and distance. I use one of the brightest scuba...
@Gregs24 ..... You are correct. They are HD straight cut gears for the oil pump as they are more robust. As pertaining to other comments on this thread - IMO - the 10R80 is an amazing transmission. IF and I say IF owners want to shift from first to second or second to third in excess of 7,000...
@miikepk ..... noise is caused by straight cut gears. There is a TSB on it and Ford says no worries. The same transmission is in GMs (joint development project) GM put some sound absorbing material on/in theirs but GM owners express concerns that it allows the transmission to heat up fast. I'd...
@roadpilot .....your engineer is entitled to his opinion. From what I have seen with my own Mustang, read and discussed with others, I disagree with him. I have seen manufacturers offer, too many times, what I consider invalid explanations to try to defend a defect. IMO There is no ground or air...
@onaccountof ..... did not mean to be hostile - my apologies, but it cheeses me off when someone makes a really, really uninformed comment (like the tech you quoted did) and he hadn't read about a thousand lines of authoritative of posts on the topic thread. Geez, you can "google" the topic and...
@RLE55 ..... I don't mind mud/stone guards if they blend with the body styling. My comment was that some guys might have the guards on but leave the holes in the fender liners open....a bit sarcastic.
I think there is a lag in uncertainty. I was buoyed by Trump's speech and the assembly of a very fine Republican Team - (not meant as a political comment or side-taking) - and I predict there will soon be evidence of a very significant increase in spender optimism and actual increases in...
@young at heart ...... well, maybe the "tech" should view Tony Unica's post before he makes stupid statements...... and maybe Ford should put a free shop vac inside each Mustang's trunk to get all the dirt, mud, stones and God forbid if you winter drive it the salt out - from ALL ALONG the...
@young at heart ..... actually a family member spent 30 years as an automotive design engineer for GM and thinks the two holes should be plugged immediately. As for me, I think it is just common sense.
@TonyP66...... there are hundreds of posts and thread lines on this topic. General consensus: the two holes are an error. They are not needed to install/remove any part, they have zero to do with any type of ground effect or air flow. Ford corporate has, so far, been unwilling to comment. By far...
@ChitownStang ..... It's under a winter cover but I'll lift it to take a picture. To be honest I installed them last April and they fit so perfectly that now with some road dust on the inner fender wells you can't really see them. You can Google Diyvan.com and Hein shows how the kits he designed...
@jimbo67 ..... yes, really annoying. Small comfort but Jeep and Buick also have the same problem because of aluminum hoods. In the factories steel dust drifts in the air no matter how hard companies try to control it. If any gets on aluminum you have a high chance of getting a "reaction" between...
@ChitownStang ..... awesome post! Great comparisons. I have had three stangs too but not a Mach 1. My 2024 GT Premium Convertible is hands down the best engineered Mustang I have ever been in. I too was real skeptical about the glass screens but now love them (unreal graphics did a super job...
