    Headlight removal...????

    Thank you Pete for this procedure. I wonder why the shop manual takes us the long way around. Also, a question for you. I just went out in the garage and looked at the opening, and I see the adjustment screw. Does this adjust the headlamp in the vertical position only? How is the horizontal...

    Why so much for this oil?

    Leaking half shaft seal

    Thanks, that makes a lot of sense to me. I will copy your post and take it with me to the service manager. But to be clear, you are saying the splines themselves are against the lips of the seal? Yes? So, to prevent the leak, put the sealant on the outer portion of the splines where they are in...

    Leaking half shaft seal

    Tsb I hate to be so dumb about this, but do we have a list of technical service bulletins for the FGT's on this site? I did a search and couldn't find the post to which you refer. I may be mistaken, but I believe the service manager at the Ford dealership said the TSB said to use the...

    Leaking half shaft seal

    Thanks Thanks for the quick responses! I wasn't sure if there was a break in period for these seals or not. I didn't think so, don't know where I heard that. I will discuss your points with the service manager tomorrow (who has been very helpful and responsive to date; but I think the folks...

    Leaking half shaft seal

    This seal (driver side) has been siliconed once by the dealer; it still leaked; dealer replaced it about three weeks ago; it is still leaking. Does this type of seal need a bit of time to "wear to the half shaft" or should the half shaft be dry and stay dry from the day of installation? Has...

    Shadowman's Diversion

    Sounds like your son has a future in diplomacy (or politics). Great looking model. I used to build slot cars with the clear plastic bodies painted from the inside. That's how I fell in love with sports cars many, many years ago. That's also how I learned about Cobras, E-Types, and GT-40's...

    Number of FGT's for Sale in duPont Registry

    I guess we are hanging on to our FGT's. I counted only one for sale in the July issue of the duPont Registry.

    Old threads are great reading !

    Speaking of prices, have any of you checked the appraised value of our cars on Edmunds.com? Seems a bit low to me. http://www.edmunds.com/used/2005/ford/gt/100387732/prices.html

    Halfshaft Bolts

    Dave can you tell us how this announcement will be made? Will it be through a TSB that the dealers get who will then notify us; how does this kind of thing work? Thanks for all you help in this effort.

    This GT has CRUISE CONTROL

    Mine does, don't they all? The cruise is located just to the right side of the steering wheel. It is hard to see unless you are looking for it, but it is located down near the floor just next to your right foot. I am sure you will find it. Seriously, that's a nice looking car for sale and...

    Engine oil Leaks

    Yep, that's the one.

    Engine oil Leaks

    I might add one other possibility for you. I had to have the seal replaced on the driver's side half axle. This leak has been with the car since new, not major, but there. Anyway, when the technician examined the leaky seal, he said there was no spring on the inside of it. I am not a tech...

    Cruise Control

    1931imperial, Don't let'em get to you. If you want a cruise control, it's cool. Honestly, I wish I had one on mine, as it would keep me a little more speed legal. But, I don't put a lot of miles on it in the first place, and since it didn't come with one, I probably wouldn't add one even if it...
