Seems like that would be a good idea... how big of a job is it to DIY?

I actually took off the wipers and put on some painted black Coke bottle caps ;)

Hey guys, I’m planning to do my first service on my GT over the winter and want to make sure I don’t miss anything. The car has 47K miles, and I’ve owned it for about three years, but with the other cars in the stable, it only gets around 600 miles of exercise per year. I originally planned to...

Ours has 47k miles and took this pic today of underside of the cable. Thanks for the heads up!

Thank you for the excellent information @PeteK ! I haven't put that many miles on it since the last change, so I am probably jumping the gun on changing it. With all the recommendations from manufactures of "change at X miles or X amount of time," I just figured it is time. Again, great...

Thank you. When i purchased the car, it came with the easy drain system from the GT Guys (at least according to the paperwork that came with the car). I only need the drain plugs.

I use Valvoline VR1 Racing oil in all our older cars mainly for the ZDDP. Wondering if anyone is using in the FGT? I heard that Motorcraft decreased the ZDDP, don't know if it's true.

Getting ready to change oil and will be adding the easy drain set up from the GT Guys and would also like to swap out engine drain plugs for magnetic plugs. Wondering what size magnetic plugs I need and maybe if anyone has a recommendation for where to get them from. Thanks.

Getting ready to change the oil. Bought some wheel cribs from RaceRamps figuring stability and being able to remove under tray easier. A 4-post lift would be nice, but for now... just thought I'd share

When storing for 4-5 months, is it better to fire it up every 2 weeks and let it idle un-driven for 10-15 minutes, or just let it sit?

Hey everyone, You may have seen my post: Determining Agreed Value on Higher Mileage '05 FGT I wanted to share some recent info that might be helpful for those of us with higher mileage Ford GTs when it comes to ensuring our cars are properly insured with an agreed value. I’ve been in the...

Just a quick follow up, I want everyone to know that we've been extremely happy with Classic Auto Insurance. We have a number of cars with them and their customer service and quick and attentive response times we have always appreciated. My post in no way is meant to reflect negatively on them...

We are currently insured through Classic Auto Insurance after seeing the recommendations on this forum. We have an agreed value of $300K and this is the maximum we were told is possible because of the miles on our car. The agent said he spoke with their GT specialist and he said, "miles on these...

Reached my cell phone under last night to take some pics and found them. Was going to figure a way to measure the diameter of the hole but @Nafod provided the info with pics. This is a great forum.... really appreciate all the input!
