    Recommend an OBD II scanner?

    Once again. The light DOES or DOES NOT come on with the engine running? Choose 1. As stated it is normal for it TO BE LIT when the engine is not running. Why not just bring it to Auto Zone?

    Recommend an OBD II scanner?

    I use this Bluetooth scanner and the Torque Android app. I think this version is also iOS compatible. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078K54MT5?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title If you're just looking for confirmation of the one you have take the car to Auto Zone or O'Reilleys. Bring yours along...

    FGT Knowledge Base

    Let's be more specific. Ford and the entire automotive industry spent a huge amount of money to get rid of air bag systems that MIGHT explode and send deadly shrapnel towards your head. They were shown to be a low probability in certain regions (deserts) and high in others (high humidity that...

    Turn key to On when replacing battery & using a memory saver?

    My truck puts on the check engine if I key on but don't start within a certain time. I guess it's a reminder to check the engine!

    Turn key to On when replacing battery & using a memory saver?

    Replacing the battery (actually just disconnecting the battery) is one way to clear a "Check Engine Light"; it does not create a CEL event. (There is actually a pending code which is that the adaptive tests need to run.) So if you replace the battery without putting a backup on you clear all...

    Turn key to On when replacing battery & using a memory saver?

    If you plug in through the dash port don't turn the key on. The draw could exceed the capacity of the tender. I don't know what the "idle current" is nor the amp capacity of the Ford tender but you don't need to turn it on. Be sure to black tape off the positive battery terminal as you...

    05 GT without factory recalls performed

    The NHTSA recall site still lists all 05-06 recalls. I put in a generic year/make/model search and it showed them all. If you use a VIN it will tell you if the recall is still outstanding. If you use the year/make/model search you will also see under the "manufacturer communications" tab the...

    How bad can this be ?

    The only way to tell is to get a parts list and head to a dealer. Be prepared for (1) sticker shock and (2) "backorder" status on many parts. Historically, "backoder" has meant "never again" although a few service items like struts do seem to come in. Forget body panels. Repair or from...

    05 GT without factory recalls performed

    If Ford did the replacement it will be in their system. If it was self-replaced then hopefully the owners would have kept records. For the OP, if the car sat in a garage for its life and never saw a dealer, then you're safe to assume that none of these have been done. The difference between...

    05 GT without factory recalls performed

    The air bag recall can be performed by a dealer without time limit. Ford can tell you what recalls are needed and what has been performed. You can also enter the VIN in the federal recall database to see if it is still outstanding. I'm pretty sure the only official recall against the GT was...

    Ford Le Mans 2025 - Hospitality Package

    At least in the US on Verizon i can download maps on the phone so if cell service blinks out I have tha map. Probably not up to the minute traffic conditions. I don't know if that extends to foreign countries

    Tips for Swapping Exhaust

    Get the instructions online for the borla. It says to remove the clamshell but you can make room by dropping the trans from the top mount. There is discussion here already. Use search.

    Since I don't know any better I'm going to buy a 2005-6 Ford GT - Sorry for the sarcasm!

    And resistance is futile. Many times here I've seen people buy a new splitter because theirs is scraped only to get it scraped again.
