    Got my Ford GT Recall Notice Today for Air Bag Replacement

    Just the actuators. Still would like to know what is involved with replacing the passenger side one. The drive side is a 10 minute cakewalk. The passenger side scares the bejeebers out of me letting a unknown tech disassemble the dash. The AC is back there too.

    No longer think FGT taillights are off the charts expensive

    There is an interesting set of videos on edmonds about body repair costs and toughness of the aluminum body panels on the new F150. One of the interesting items in that vid was the cost of the taillight. $850 for the led taillight. Same as our in that its not serviceable but only replaceable...

    I got my recall notices today. Plural. One each for driver and passenger. 2006 #366. Plan to visit the dealer Friday and discuss babysitting the car while they do the work. How involved is the passenger side inflator?

    New Autoweek. Ford GT Collectors item !!

    There is a good article about Henry Ford III further back in the issue as well. Had no idea he worked as a car salesman at Galpin Ford for a while. Talk about undercover boss.

    Pulley and Tune

    My pulley and tune did not require MassAir sensor modification. My boost gauge works normally although it does peg at the very top end. (I am seldom looking at the gauge during those brief moments.....) For a pulley on the stock blower, mods to the MassAir and fuel system are really not...

    2016 GT Interior features

    Thanks. I share because I have gotten so much from others on this forum, especially when I was a new and confused owner, that I hope to give back in some small way. It makes my day when I see one of my ideas used in another GT.

    2016 GT Interior features

    The shift and brake boots look great! :-) Kinda hard to tell from this photo but what is the LED strip adhered to? The forward edge of the headliner or the top of the glass or...? These appear to be cool white LEDs and they look good against the black and silver interior. I installed a...

    2016 GT Interior features

    Rocketman, could you post or point to a pic of the actual lighting and where it is mounted in your car? I used flex led strip across the top of the rear glass in mine and while it works, I am not happy with the glare. Fortunatly its easily removed. I like the lighting provided in your pic...

    2016 GT Interior features

    All I can say is wow, such a dissertation. Are you selling the car now? Everyone is enttled to thier opinion. But I don't have to agree. And I don't. On a few of your points: HVAC controls on the 06 GT are terrific. One of the features I really like about the car. Start button. Its not...

    Battery sh!t the bed....

    Autozone does not list a group 75/86 in the Duralast Platinum and I do not see another in the 11 models they do carry that would fit well. Sears dropped the Diehard Platinum P-3 several years ago.

    Who has picked up on all its neat features yet??

    I heard them say this about the 350R but not the GT. Why would the GT not have ac or a radio? If its a grand touring car, at least the street version should have these things. Without AC, its not a street car.
