@jimsgunshop ..... beautiful car. Very disheartening. I have been rear ended twice. Both times stopped at a red light. One repair was oem the other somewhat like yours. I stayed on the insurance company like a rat on cheese and they finally made the shop re-paint my car. None of my business but...
@Petes24Gt ..... my 2024 GT (4500 miles) not driven rough makes exactly the same noise, maybe even a bit louder. Has since purchase and like yours quiets down. I believe it's just a normal cold start engine noise.
@S650sunshine ..... it appears bluish to me. That would mean oil getting into where it should not be. That said, it may be no big deal at all. My friend had a new Ford Explorer 400 RT (400 HP twin Turbo) it is about 6 months old with about 1500 miles on it. He noticed some smoke under his hood...
This is a no brainer ..... 99% of the time blackish is rich fuel (not normal), whitish is condensation (normal), bluish is oil (not normal). Check it out will be easy to determine.
No thanks, looks like someone drained the blood out of its a$$ end or like it has cataracts. Most of the mods I like but not even close imo with this one.
@High-top5-0 ..... for 2025 I believe Ford does not charge for the auto transmission but does now charge for the Bose 12 speaker/subwoofer up-grade. They have switched some pricing around.
@Q6543 ...... I wouldn't term posters asking about noises as complaining. I agree that engines have been and still are noisy - now different operating noises. In the past most were valve train related now there are all sorts of clicks and weird noises many that come from the electronics. That...
@S650sunshine .......bluish smoke is "usually" not good as it usually means oil. Blackish is usually over rich, white is usually condensation and bluish is usually oil derived like a faulty valve stem seal or ring failure. Take it to the dealer and have a work order written to log your visit for...
@rijndael ..... nope. First, I'm not talking about "prior mustang coyotes" as that is irrelevant imo. There should be very little drop in viscosity or shear value if a decent oil is changed within the interval for use ie: daily driving, track, severe service. There is a huge difference between...
@Bikeman315 ..... to follow your logic if the cause of the BBQ tick remains a mystery how do you know oil is not the cause? FYI The Ford dealer I take my Mustangs to (high volume Mustang seller) has not had one instance of BBQ tick (a too common phenomenon) when oil filters have been pre filled...
@StangMobile ..... #1. Get that $hit out of there right now and make the moron who used it replaces it for free - with what YOU specified ....5W30 FULL synthetic. End of discussion. The 5W30 can make a huge difference in your engine's performance and will likely prevent the dreaded BBQ tick from...
BRINE is the new KILLER........Where I live there are plenty of days there is no snow on the road. It is tempting to take the GT for a run - BUT - It is often on these days that the road crews, particularly if snow/freezing rain is in the forecast, to use spray LIQUID BRINE SOLUTION of the bare...
@Allanrock59 ..... huge postings on line about 2024 Mustang front fender liner fails. Tony Unica has a number of posts on the internet and most Mustang forums. These holes are pretty big. Get a flashlight and look at your front fender liners right at the bottom near the frame at the back in line...
@Pmamba ...... driving con cold/winter ok if no brine has been spread on the roads. That $hit destroys vehicle undercarriages because it goes everywhere and is then activated over and over again by moisture.
@Allanrock59 ..... I do the same thing with my 2024 GT. Winter where you live with salt/brine spray on the roads is deadly for a Mustang. I put mine up from November to April. Even though I do not winter drive I had a clear oil - nonwaxy/non gooey - called Corrosion Free - sprayed on my entire...
@DontHitMeSafetyYellow ..... Buy some Armourall. Get a clean piece of towel/facecloth. Warm up the car so the seals/gaskets are warm. Soak the cloth with the Armourall and wipe the gaskets with it several times. Do this when required. Once a week might be proactive. Using a credit card etc...
@JimC .....I agree 100% - keeping the strut tower brace is massive and becomes even more important imo the more HP and torque your engine generates. Everyone I know who has added a strut tower brace says they can "feel" the difference. IF I did any engine mod that eliminated the OEM Ford cross...
@TheGrabberBlueGT2024 ..... in fact the Motorcraft oil is an excellent. The base stock was, last time I heard, made by Conoco-Phillips to very demanding Ford standards and the VI additive package was from S-Oil which has a 5 star industrial additive rating. The Motorcraft FULL Synthetic is...
