Almost, but if you are trying to understand the benifits vs cost of the systems, it replaces a bit more than the throttle cable and it puts the ECM in feed forward control rather than reaction control. It replaces the entire cruise control system and actuator. It replaces throttle body dashpot...

Throttle cable has an actuator cable connectiing your right foot pedal to the butterfly valve in the throttle body. IE when you press the pedal, it pulls the cable which turns the shaft opening the butterfly valve. Exactly the way it worked on carberators. Fly by wire systems the pedal is...

The allocation arrangements are pretty straightforward. You are not getting one.

The 05 - 06 GTs were the last vehicle Ford released with throttle cables. Every new vehicle release or major upgrade since has seen drive by wire throttle bodies employed. No current models use a throttle cable.

I'll just throw it out there, I have an extra Macintosh amp I'd be willing to sell for a fair price.

Actually, used oil analysis has shown the Motorcraft breaks down long before normal oil change interval is over. By 3000 miles its MUCH thinner than spec. I will no longer use it.

Ok, I ordered parts for 5. Will build them up and see how many turn out presentable. Then if anyone in Houston wants one....

If you would be willing to build a few, I would certainly be interested in installing one. Looks like good protection for possible failure mode to me. Just looking at the one in the photo, your electrical assembly skills are much better than mine. Look forward to hearing from you.

So the new GT will officially be an import then carrying a 2F... VIN number.

They are only replacing the inflator behind the bag. Not the bag itself or the cover. Sorry, no new badge.

If northwoodGT does not take both of them, how much are you asking for the other one?

If its really true that 'none of the dealers in your area' will do the recall work, I would suggest a call to Ford and have them make arrangements with a dealer. As this is an NHTSA mandated recall, they will need to have it done at the dealer to verify it was done before they can report...

Timken is now listing the hub assembly as an aftermarket supply part. TIMKEN Part # HA590342 Does this look like the right part? They show as available for $86 and fit all 4 wheels.

STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS Part # PS442 WELLS Part # 1S9560 MOTORCRAFT Part # SW6357 I have only used the first one (Standard is BW) but the other two were listed also and photos look identical so figured I would paste that info too. Its a pretty standard sending unit used on many vehicles. Easy...

Not just rain, HARD rain. It takes A LOT of rain to overwhelm the Bridgestones. And anywhere up to that limit, they have superior grip. As was said, the Bridgestones really were not in the running. Ford was having Firestone issues at the time and it would not have mattered how good the tires...

Yes, I think they would. Or at least I would. Same reason I have no problem with a Mann filter, Borg Warner oil pressure switch etc. Actually offshore made repops of other tail lights are complete right down to the ford part numbers molded in. I replaced all the lamp housings on my old F250...

I don't. While it may be the most valued, many owners appreciate the color on someone else s car. I would never own a baby blue and pastel orange car. Just not my thing.

I think you are going to find the new GTs engine to be about as 'standard fare' as our 5.4l was. Jeremy will have opportunity to tell the world its a F-150 pickup engine and be completely wrong all over again.

Yes, I got 2 notices. Driver and passenger. They came together. Dealer knows I will not bring the car until they have both ready to go. He did say they have been having no trouble getting most of the air bag parts for the recall but did not know if mine were different.

Went by dealer yesterday. They ordered both actuators and will make appointment when they come it. They said they have no problem if I accompany the car while they do it. They will do the work in the make ready bay which is right next to the service entry drive. Said it should take a couple...
