    Need to Adjust the Rear Clamshell, a big deal or not?

    The shop manual indicates a margin of 0.13-0.25” for deck lid to roofline/B-pillar, 0.21-0.33” for deck lid to rear fascia, and a swing clearance of 0.07” min. So the swing clearance to very, very tight by design. Checking the gap with a piece of paper is an easy way to determine contact vs...

    Need to Adjust the Rear Clamshell, a big deal or not?

    Adjusting body gaps can get time consuming, as one change to fix something, often creates other gap/alignment issues. There are two torxs and two bolts, in the metal drip well, that hold the overall rear cover in place. There are also two bolts, from the bottom, which can be accessed thru...

    California Smog cert

    It only shows the factory muffler in the extra parts, not the catalyst pipes. The catalyst pipes may still be on the car, but not a clear picture of them. If the cats are removed, the car is likely tuned, so the pcm would need to be flashed back to stock In addition to reinstallation of any...

    Think I have a oil breather hose leak?

    I have same issue on my 06, and have the hose on order from Ford. The hose was only around $40, but it has been on order a couple of weeks so far. I think it is from aging/drying out.

    Center Tunnel Corrosion, What to do?

    I believe the paint code is M7049A/TL Satin Silver Metallic. I touched up a few small chips in my console with this paint, and was happy with the match.

    I noticed I'm missing a part, can you help me identify what it is?

    5G7Z-17F888-AA should be the cover, if you don’t find it still in the front end.

    Octane Booster

    I used Torco for several years in a GT500, to make 100 octane. Never had any issues, but did turn plugs orange. I eventually switched to E85 in the GT500, but do still put a can of Torco in my old Mach1, when that goes to the 1/4 mile. It does what it says from my experience.

    Mileage vs time for parts replacements

    There are lifetime filter elements that can be cleaned, re-oiled, and re-used. Paper type filters will dry out over time and could fail. This is more of a risk on a boosted engine vs NA, as boosted engines move much more air. Cheap insurance on an expensive engine IMO. Much easier to have a...

    Power Steering Return Hose - 4G7Z.3A713.AA - 2006 Ford GT

    I do actually drive the car often, but at some point prior to my ownership it must have sat for a while. Any tips on getting a hold of Rich Brooks for the line? I am not an existing customer.

    Power Steering Return Hose - 4G7Z.3A713.AA - 2006 Ford GT

    This is a low pressure return line with constant tension clamps. Really only looking to see if someone found a line with similar bends. I know straight universal line will work, and the line is pretty hidden, but if I can find something that matches. My Ford parts people say obsolete and...

    Fuel Filter disconnect

    Congrats on the fuel filter. Doing similar maintenance on my 13k car. I also just did the belts, and did them all from underneath. Worst part is getting the oil pump drive belt cover off, but you can reach in from the passenger side to get the upper bolts. Another very cramped area to work...
