@86pagt ...... don't disagree with your opinion and I do get @Frogdog1 question. I have owned supercharged cars and boats. Nice? Yes......but you have to be ready for other upgrades to handling and superchargers are hard on all components of a vehicle. Plus the re-sale is $hit as everyone knows...

@135Hoser ...... yes, mine were even a bit worse than that and I didn't do brake burns. By comparison my 2014 never got so dirty so fast. Now that I know it's no big deal - I'll just change them sooner.

@Q6543 ..... great suggestions until I got to the "not driving too much" part which has left me confused. I didn't think it was possible to spend too much time in our Mustangs? Did I miss a TSB? :cool:

My 2024 Mustang GT has approximately 5000 miles on it. Driven a combo of city/highway - not dirt country roads. Just for interest's sake I looked at my two OEM factory engine air filters. They were very dirty - far too dirty to keep using. To be honest I was somewhat shocked. I went right over...

@GWink ..... very astute observation. The white rims would be a nightmare. The brake dust from my brakes isn't too bad - yes, like you, I clean them after any kind of a lengthy drive but white rims....nasty!

If alone, best unit you can afford and WAZE. If possible find a pack and run with the pack and stay in the middle. Remember - the reindeer at the front gets shot and the one at the back gets eaten - stay in the middle.

@Velocitys2020 ....... I can see where you are upset. As I see it you have two choices. Before considering either I would take it to the dealership and have them record the issue - WITH pictures and give you a work order or warranty issue claim number. - in case there is a further future...

@Fornula Russell Champion ..... coming from a family that built race engines I am absolutely astounded that with what you describe you are doing - that you had not already installed specialized bespoke transmission coolers as well as some auxiliary electric cooling fans. Not to be rude but the...

@Fornula Russell Champion ..... are you implying that the proximity of the overheated cats is causing the transmission to overheat? Like @AZ_Ryan I don't get your point.

@BlkJack ..... you think you lost money on your GT. wait until you sell the vette. Friend had a vette got sick and tired of the maintenance costs and insurance costs. Sold it and bought a Dark Horse. he couldn't be happier. Man, I think you went in the wrong direction. At least if you have any...

@Doug Watson ....BTW - on the bright side of things, you get to re-do your engine "break-in" a second time .....anything you think you might have done different/better you have a second chance!

@robvas , white nostrils - ugly, plaid seats - really ugly, white wheel rims- you can get better at Walmart. If it's not an advanced 2026 April Fool's post then it's just a nightmare on Ford Street.

@Doug Watson ..... you have a lengthy warranty. If the cat has been damaged it should show in plenty of time. The cats are pretty robust and tend to destroy (powerdize) any impurities and shoot them out the exhaust. I think you'll be fine - but - just in case have you made a formal note of your...

@Doug Watson ..... very sorry you have to go through this but really, really happy with Ford's response. I knew all along the engine was defective and hoped Ford would respond. In a while this will just be a bad memory and you will have a brand new engine! :cool:

@ZXMustang.....hard to follow your logic. yes, if a "stock" car was driven 100K on 87 - I agree no damage would be done "in most circumstances (love how you qualify your comments) - unless knock/detonation/ping sounds were heard. If so the 87 was low octane or the car was driven too hard for...

@AzkAdAsh ..... YES - as my statistics professor used to say - there are lies,, damned lies and then there are statistics!

@ZMMustang.....so with the factory tune you "ride the knock sensors" if you don't use 91. Perfect - really good for the engine. What did I just say? Tuners who tune to then have to counteract their work to - your words - give the engines a "fighting chance". Their is lag in any tune either OEM...

@AZ_Ryan I have modified my post to be more respectful, as I should be. IMO knock sensors for adaptive timing (even self retarding variable camshaft timing) that detect "ping" pre detonation etc. are often referred to as "oh shit" meters because by the time the detection and retardation are done...

@GWink ..... the two most important things you can do for your coyote engine engine is use FULL synthetic oil and use 91 octane. Particularly from 2024 on you have a 12:1 compression engine. Using 87/89 in them is just stupid. Buy a crap car if you can't afford 91 then it won't matter when you...

The organic pads on my friends older mustang cover the rims with black dust. The oem pads on my 2024 Tt leave nothing on the rims/tires. A bit of road dust the odd time but no brake dust. Chage the pads.
