Yes, positively, any car with the clips will have the billet a-arms.

Neither an integrity or a panel fit issue but rather a "rule" inside Ford at the time that any visible body seam had to be covered. I think the first 500 or so 2005's had these before common sense said that the band-aid looked worse than the exposed seam.

If you take that exhaust and set it on an absolutely flat table, both flanges need to sit down absolutely flat against the table. If it is not doing this, then it has been fabricated incorrectly. Another, perhaps more telling test, is to take a GT stock muffler and place it on two saw horses...

Yeah, I second sr71's suggestion. Don't shy away from a higher mileage car - especially in the hands of a 1-caring-owner's hands. The blue car was very well cared for and it shows that!

Yeah, but the GT has another trick up its sleeve! Many years ago we got a GT in the shop with a somewhat catastrophic Whipple failure. Catastrophic insofar that a bearing failure allowed the SC's rotors to come into contact and create a lot of metal particles - right into the intake.... or...

Yeah, good advice already given... Try cleaning it first. To remove the connector, slide the red safety back (toward the wires) and then squeeze the connector to release it from the MAF sensor. Inspect these wires to make sure no signs of rodent chewing. If OK, try cleaning and re-installing...

You might try bedding them again. In a remote, safe area, take the car up to 60-80 mph and then just nail the brakes. Look for shortest possible stopping distance but try to stay just on the edge of ABS. Release the brakes just before a complete stop and accelerate back to 60-80 mph and...

Ford has never had the "V2" small gauges - either individually or as a set. It is hard to imagine that Ford still has complete dashboards tucked away somewhere, but if you manage to find one it will be with the V1 gauges and, as such, susceptible to failure.

Try not to run the GT too low on fuel. If you run it completely out of fuel, it's likely that you will kill one or both fuel pumps and this is NOT an inexpensive repair. You can drive it until the light comes on, but I wouldn't advise going much past that. Note that you will not get a "Low...

From the BaT pictures, your car does indeed have the OEM Cats. Stay away from AV Gas and use the best fuel octane you can reasonably find. 91 is likely OK, 93 would be better if available in your area. The Whipple SC's were available with different size pulleys - the smaller the pulley the...

As delivered, the license plate fasteners are one in the same with the numerous belly pan fasteners. Namely, these are a T27 Torx head bolt with a captured washer. Thread is a M6 X 1.0 with a length of 25mm.

No.

The new Hyundai Ioniq 5N is a gamechanger in this regard... and very well may change the way that others build EV's. What you say is exactly true - and has been said by many. Yes, the EV's ARE fast... but the driving experience needs more than just fast. Enter the Ioniq 5 N. Another high...

white out has stooped to a new low... OP - Sry to corrupt your thread with this nonsense and I truly hope you can find a shop closer to you to take care of your GT. If you do find a good shop that you trust but who may not have GT experience, we'd be happy to coach them through any processes...

Thank you Pete. It was nice to see you and meet your daughter! The new house and shop has been a long time in the making. While the house is all done (when the Queen is happy, the land is happy), we still have more plans for the shop. We want to sheetrock it and add HVAC. etc. But, we are...

Hi Steve, We're in Santa Clarita - about 2 hours North of you, if we can help.

Use a T30 Torx bit. The bit is about 5/8" long. Stick the bit into the screw and hold it there with your index finger. With other hand, use a 1/4" open-end wrench to turn the hex end of the bit while your index finger holds it in place. Lefty-loosey. Takes some patience... arms get tired...

Yeah, you need a mirror because you can't stick your head up there level with the belt because of the firewall.

Step 1) T30 Torx. You forgot a VERY IMPORTANT step! Let's call it... Step 1.5) With the cover removed and BEFORE you loosen anything, get a good look at how the tensioning "sight" looks. The Shop Manual does just an OK job depicting it, but it's best if you look at and understand what it...

The mildly updated 2024 Mach E GT in that new green color is mighty tempting....
