Coilovers: The market will decide.

Sure points to battery given all the interactions. Get a Group 25 Red Top at Auto Zone or O'Reillys. That's all he Ford battery is. If you care and you're real careful you can transplant the ford label to the new one. Be VERY careful when replacing the battery. DO NOT LEAN ON THE FENDER...

It's not clear - was this under operational conditions or were you warming it up in the driveway (idle all the time)? Instantaneous or was there hesitation and sputtering? After restarting did it show signs of "limp mode"? First time starting after a winter of down time? Old gas? Do you...

Or crescent wrench or kleenex ot hundreds of others

I've been retired for 10 years so it is entirely possible that TSMC found smart people somewhere else, and even then who knew where they were. The people that design these transistors and the blocks built from them now work at almost atomic level. Stuff is so small that the real meaning of...

Just to be clear, TSMC is a chip MANUFACTURER. The chip content (the design of what the chip does, ie, the "intellectual property") is done by someone else. TSMC even manufactures some Intel chips these days (as a second source). TSMC designs the very low level transistor elements that the...

Big difference between "Made in the USA" and "Assembled in the USA" (from components manufactured elsewhere).

Did any privateers pick up the NFGT after Ford was done?

Plug in your trickle charger before disconnecting the cables and insulate the positive so it doesn't touch ground. This will keep the engine adaptives "ready". Otherwise you'll have to complete a drive cycle.. esp important if you have emissions test coming soon And indeed this subject has...

My version of the GT Guys tune (from 2011) was not able to pass OBDII emissions tests. It disabled the O2 sensors and EGR test, maybe more, I don't recall. No check engine light ever came on but the "readiness" indicators said "disabled" so there was no chance of getting through. After...

The belt was not changed for the GT Guys 2011 era pulley/tune. The idler pulley made up for the difference in diameter to keep the same position of the idler arm. I can't say what they may have done as time went on...

So here's one way to tell if it is stock. When Rich did my pulley/tune he sent me a box of take off parts. The original S/C pulley, the idler pulley, original spark plugs, etc. I don't know if he automatically sends this stuff back but I would assume probably so since lots of people want to...

It's a idler so it won't be ribbed because it's on the flat side of the belt. The numbers on the diagram left side are clipped in the picture but I think it's #13. I know you can reach it from the engine compartment without taking off the access panel on the other side. It's just to the...

At least they're not repainting it a different color each time like Shelby did the Cobra. :)
