For the front, the brake tie rod bold torque spec is 22 lb ft. That is the only bolt removed to replace the pads. I use orange loctite if I’m not replacing the hardware with new parts. The rear caliper bolts show Stage 1 torque of 23 lb ft and stage 2 of 28. The repair manual also says to...

Have you run it in track mode between 5k-7k rpm? It will put a smile on your face!

I agree. I baffles me that they don’t give a dipstick in the engine bay from the factory.

It would be a challenge to track a vehicle without doing some self repair. At every track day there are quite a few vehicles stuck in the paddock broken down. Fortunately I’ve worked on my own vehicles since I started driving, so I have a decent ability to do repairs as needed. Also, having the...

Here's a photo I added in another thread. It is sandwiched between the radiator and condenser. https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/nonperformance-aux-trans-cooler.168356/post-3378742

Here is my solution. Cartek OBD2 Shift Light. It works great!

Yes, I remember you guys well. I saw your Canadian license plates quite a few times as you passed me. :cwl:

I agree on the tracks. VIR was a really nice complex and track. SP was fun, but not a destination track; I would go back, but only if it was in a situation like this where it is part of a trip somewhere else. WG was great, and I am definitely planning to go back. It's over 16 hours from my...

You are correct on the heat exchanger. It has two separate passages; one for the engine coolant and one for the transmission fluid. Mine was leaking from the coolant nipple. The coolant heats up a lot more quickly since it is running through the engine, so when the transmission is still cold...

In the week leading up to and including the July 4 celebration of 250 years of independence in our great nation, I went on a road trip totaling more than 2,600 miles attending three HPDE track events with Chin over the course of eight days. I had a great time despite losing one full day due to...

Having a lift makes it significantly more manageable for changing or checking the fluid. My heat exchanger sprung a leak when I was over 1,000 miles from home, and I had to do a replacement with the car on jack stands in a parking lot during a heat wave. Of course that involved doing the whole...

You can add fluid from the tube. It requires a hose partially down the tube because it runs horizontally for the first section. However, filling from underneath requires a hose of some sort as well. I measured the fluid level hot on the factory dipstick, marked the level, installed the new...

If I was doing it at normal service intervals, I’d probably pay the dealer to do it. It’s not terribly difficult, but disconnecting the heat exchanger makes it a little more involved. I installed the PPE pan the first time I did the fluid change so now I have a drain plug, which makes fluid...

I have been looking for a way to make checking the transmission fluid in my 10r80 a little easier since I’m changing the fluid regularly due to track use. I haven’t found any dipsticks designed for the Mustang, but I came across one from B&M which is designed for the 10r80 in the F-150. I took a...

Have you tried loading it as a new vehicle when you launch Forscan instead of using the saved profile? Also, make sure if your adapter is fully seated to the OBD2 port. I’ve had missing modules when I didn’t have mine seated fully.

For comparison purposes, track insurance for a weekend (two track days) of HPDE is around $400 on a $60k value vehicle with 10% deductible. That said, after having done Mustang Unleashed and nearly 20 HPDE events, I would expect the risk of something happening at Mustang Unleashed is...

I haven't seen anything posted yet, so I wanted to share that MCA will be having a 50th Anniversary event August 28-30, 2026 at Road Atlanta. It includes a judged car show, non-judged car display, 3 day HPDE event, and Autocross. It looks like it will be a fun event...

If you’re looking for the entire manual, you can purchase a pdf here. https://www.emanualonline.com/cars/ford/mustang/2024-ford-mustang-service-repair-manual-emo-583582 If you are just needing a few pages for reference on a particular project, then for about $26, you can get 72 hour access to...

It's always a good idea to use brake maintenance mode any time you are working on the brakes. I've forgotten to do that in the past when bleeding brakes or replacing Brembo pads without any issues, but I have run into issues when messing with the parking brake not in brake maintenance mode.

No kidding. I've got a bunch of money just sitting in my shop in the form of cases of fluids, spare parts and wheels and tires.
