    Rear Toe Link replacement

    The first step is to: "...remove AND DISCARD the outer toe link nut, then remove the bolt". Later I need to remove discard the inner toe link nut. I guess I need to have a new bolt/nut (outer, what spec?) and new inner nut (spec?) as the new toe links (4G7Z-5B551-A) did not come with additional...

    Failed Gauges and Battery

    I have to THANK the brain trust here. I kept putting off replacing my battery (as I had no issues and keep the car on a tender). Anyway, last weekend I lost 4 instruments on initial start (Tach, oil pressure, vacuum/boost, and Speedometer)...some big, some small. I immediately got an Optima...

    Pulley/Tune

    I am trying to not bother Rich (GTGuys)... Back in 2015 I had the GTGuys do a Pulley/Tune at Carlisle (Ford Nationals). In the discussions, Rich said that they use a larger diameter idler pulley to offset the smaller supercharger pulley and keep the tension/slack/etc... in check. Does anyone...

    GTs in Chattanooga

    Surprisingly, we (almost) open the video (at 3 minutes : 23 seconds). My Tungsten rolled over 47,000 miles during this trip (from Pensacola, Fl.) and David's red one has 20,000 miles (Greensboro, NC.)

    Up & right during acceleration...

    My 2006 GT (with 46,000) is starting to (ever so slightly) pull right as the nose comes up under acceleration...and comes back down to the left when I let off the gas (but not under braking as far as I can tell). I am searching the forum BUT thought that some of the higher mileage members could...

    Chip, Biff, and a Husky

    I recently had the pleasure of taking a sight-seeing tour/flight around the greater Phoenix area with world-famous, aerobatic pilot (and multi-GT owner) Chip Beck! I have a little experience from the backseat of tactical jets but flying so "analog" is a completely different perspective. The...

    Cross-winds, idle stall

    I was sitting at a stoplight with a rock solid idle in my 2006 Ford GT (45,000 miles, pulley/tune). A solid 30-40 knot crosswind blew and I swear it "blew out" my idle (and the car stalled). I have no codes and I am reviewing other threads about stalling at idle BUT at least one other owner...

    Transmission cooler maintenance

    We did an engine oil and transaxle fluid change on my Buddy's 2006 GT. I then noticed that he has an additional external transmission cooler on the passenger side. Before I saw this we drained and refilled the transaxle with the correct fluid and it took almost exactly 4 quarts (which is also...
