    2020 Won't turn over

    Update! Changed relay 29 and cranked right up. Took the old relay to Advance Auto and they didn't have the part looking at their computer for Ford GT parts. We went to the back and matched it up with ones they had in stock and it was $16.

    2020 Won't turn over

    I remember seeing a thread about various issues with this problem- bad relay, soft start module or bad battery. I have the original battery and understand that you have to change the tray to accommodate the smaller battery. I would like to troubleshoot my issue before I go that route. I do...

    Dummy lights on??

    I was walking by the '05 and noticed that all the dummy lights on the bottom row were illuminated. I hadn't started in 2 weeks and have no idea how long they had been on. No key nearby. I have it on a maintenance charger (same one for a few years now). I started her up with no problem, all...

    AC blower not working

    Hello from Tampa, waiting patiently for hurricane Milton to come through in about 12 hours. The 05 GT is at the airport parking garage, the 2020 is on the lift so I have can have about 15' of storm surge before I get damage (less important, I would have 5' of water in my house at that point)...

    I AM IN!!!

    Is this a cruel joke? Waiting patiently for any kind of update saying my Priority Waitlist was converted. Trying to think of something to post other than " WOOOP! WOOOP!" if I hear that news.

    I AM IN!!!

    I was excited to see an email from the GTD concierge this morning, but excitement quickly turned to disappointment. Like getting picked last on the kickball team in 5th grade disappointment. I had myself convinced that I would be picked. 2 GTs, Raptor R, Lightning, and a 69 Mach 1 that I have...

    Oil change procedure

    Here is a rainy day project that I did last week. I got tired of the chinese junk tools and I never saw that quality filter socket shown in the above post. I brazed three nuts on the side of this socket and sharpened up some thumb screws to tighten the socket to the filter. Only really need...

    Oil change procedure

    That is good news about the Motorcraft oil. Now, this will probably start a vigorous debate but------what interval time wise, do people change their oil in a NFGT? I am going on about 18 months but only around 900 miles. It always looks fresh when I change oil in my old GT after 18 months. 2...

    Oil change procedure

    Any source for the Castrol Supercar oil? Is the Motorcraft 5W-50 adequate? I don't plan on tracking anytime soon. Thanks.

    NFGT production by color question

    I am sure this topic has been touched on, but I have done several searches and probably am not wording it correctly. Is there a link to show the production broken down into colors and stripe options?

    Tampa Florida area service techs? costs??

    Rick down in Sarasota has worked on both my 05 and 2020 GTs. He is very good and knowledgeable. It is however, kind of a drive from Tampa. I doubt Veteran's has a GT certified mechanic unless they have been added very recently. Ford sent Rick to my house in Tampa to change the airbag...
