    Ok so lets talk about this one, in the almost 40 years i have been doing this i never say never, the reason is what should make sense at times never does.

    Surging issue, dumping boost around 12 psi

    Ok so lets talk about this, if we are talking about the Engine then both the NFGT and Raptor engine should share the same part numbers correct? when in reality when you look up a bare block, head's, crankshaft, piston rods, ect. the NFGT has its own part number, so if they share the same engine...

    Surging issue, dumping boost around 12 psi

    No offence taken I enjoy these type of conversations. Frist the 3.5 eco boost in the NFGT is not the same as normal production cars and truck, infect the only thing they share is displacement.

    Surging issue, dumping boost around 12 psi

    Water pump

    Hello FlagstaffGT, I have not seen a water pump leaking on a ford gt, have you done a coolant pressure test yet ? Is it possible that when C.A.C tube blew off or back glass was replaced that it could have damaged or cut a coolant hose? I have seen hoses in that area that have leaked. Joe

    Dead battery?

    Hello Pro_GT_driver. When you say "weak" are you talking about slow cranking the engine over ? Or is the battery dead ? Like Spartan stated I had his car in for service and found a module would not go to sleep and drew to many amps and caused the battery to fall below 10.5 volts caused his...
