    EV cars, is the future there ? Porsche rocks the Ring with the Taycan

    The wifey got a Lyriq in January. My input was that it had to be the AWD (500HP) version and had to have Supercruise. Nice car for the price. I've taken it on a couple of longer (400mi +) trips to get a first-hand view of the whole on-the-road charging experience. The current infrastructure...

    Yeah, Optima RedTop Group 25. You can click on this link to see it on their website. REDTOP 25 Note that it is the OEM battery that all GT's came with....

    Another battery replacement thread...

    The Optima Group 25 is 31.7lbs... relatively light by automotive standards. Compared to traditional flooded Group 25 batteries which are 38-42 lbs, they're LIGHTER. Yes, there are definitely lighter batteries as you explore different chemistries. $400,000-ish car needs a $250-ish battery...

    Another battery replacement thread...

    Sorry you had a bad experience with the Optima Group 25. We have been installing a LOT of them. I'd say that on average we're seeing a minimum of 5-6 years of life from them when properly taken care of - either routinely driven or on a tender when sitting for extended periods. They're readily...

    Suspension rattle 2018 GT

    Brian - does the new design use the set screws or another means of locking? I can see where the ball bearing is intended to mitigate thread damage from the set screw - but admittedly not ideal.

    Suspension rattle 2018 GT

    Ugh! Seized nuts are the worst! Probably not telling you anything you already don't know, but I would try to apply heat to the nut in hopes that it will expand/loosen. Not sure of the accessibility you have, or the proximity of any kind of rubber bushings, but if possible I would try to use...

    change oil in ford gt 2005

    All is good. About 80-90% of the GT's we're doing, the gauge doesn't register. Our "routine" is to crank for 15-20 seconds. Stop. Then fire up and confirm immediate oil pressure. Very, very consistent.

    change oil in ford gt 2005

    I disagree.;) Your car ALWAYS primed... but the gauge just didn't register. Instant oil pressure after an oil/filter change is a sure sign of a good prime. We're averaging 3-4 oil changes per week. Our best practice is a 15-20 second crank followed by a start. Always get instant oil...

    Smog / drive cycle

    We have a specific "loop" starting at our shop. It's about 15 miles. We can consistently get the GT monitors to all set withing this span.

    pulley recommendation

    Yep, go with Torrie. Best mod ever for the GT. Just an added 100HP with absolutely no adverse issues. We just installed one a few days ago... maybe our 100th... well, maybe not that many but probably more than 50.

    Shocks

    Rob, PM me and give me your VIN and I'll see what I can do. I just purchased some recently and I didn't have a problem... but admittedly the Ford anti-hoarding process is a challenge.

    Shocks

    WIth all due respect - and 100% serious here.... they ARE made in China. Yes, they are ASSEMBLED in the USA. Just go look at their website. If they were made in the USA, don't you think that they'd proudly advertise this? They aren't, so they can't.... and so they don't. So you continue to...

    Shocks

    If you install that cheap, made in China shit that Rich is selling on a Ford GT, I'll take you behind the barn and shoot you myself. The front OEM shocks are readily available (albeit not inexpensive) from Ford and manufactured by Multimatic - who just happen to know a thing or two about GT's...

    Shocks

    When the OEM shocks fail, there is almost always a considerable amount of (shock) oil on the outside of the shock body.

    2006 Driver Seat Elec. Harness Location

    Hi Allen - here are a couple of pics. This car HAS the subwoofer option but I have to believe the non-Mac cars were wired very similarly. That's the wire with the white connector. You can see it Y's out of the subwoofer harness. The subwoofer harness runs forward on the passenger side of...
