    Bookends

    I took both my ‘20 GT and survivor ‘26 T out to a show today. Everyone loved them sitting side by side.

    Oil change procedure

    I’m wrapping up an oil change and thought to share the procedure. I’m not sure if it’s on here or not. All you need is a lift, a good 76mm 14 flute oil filter wrench, and some patience! I’ve got the procedure down to about an hour’s time and a little under $250 for the parts. A few pointers...

    Lock up that ordering kit!

    I came across this article and thought I’d share. My ordering kit has been on my coffee table since day one for people to enjoy. Maybe it’s time for the kids to keep their hands off… 😂 https://fordauthority.com/2023/04/if-you-want-a-ford-gt-order-kit-heres-your-chance/amp/

    A Devastating Loss for America

    As you may have already heard, there was a tragic mid-air collision yesterday November 12, 2022 involving a Boeing B-17 and a Bell P-63. While the loss of life is paramount, the loss of these two aircraft are nearly as devastating. The P-63 was the last airworthy one of its kind and the B-17 was...

    Wheel creaking issue

    This post has been a long time coming and it was my hope that it would be documenting a problem and ending with a solution. Sadly, I’m not certain that is the case. Having taken delivery in March of 2020, I quickly began racking up miles on my GT. Even with near total Covid shutdown I was able...

    Surging issue, dumping boost around 12 psi

    Does anyone else have a light surging or hesitation under moderate (but not full) throttle? Particularly in manual mode while in 2nd or 3rd gear. The waste gates will also flutter and dump boost sometimes when this happens. RPMs will fluctuate by 50-100 but once at a steady speed (around 65 mph)...

    MISSING! Special K’s name badge

    My name badge was accidentally taken last night by the photo booth wardrobe table at the final dinner. DBK did an outstanding job with this rally down to the littlest detail on the badges. I would really like to have mine back as a keepsake from this wonderful event. If found please let me know...

    Does anyone know what this pertains to? I found it in my notifications on my Ford Pass app. A tax refund by chance?

    Ford Focus ST

    While always trying to maintain the balance of good dad and cool dad, I think I found a happy medium while trying to find the perfect first car for my eldest daughter. My criteria were: 1) A standard transmission for keeping the hands off the phone, keeping “friends” from driving, and opening up...

    I need help from my GT family!

    Some of you know about my acting career when I’m not busy talking cars here on the forum. So I’ve been presented an interesting opportunity to audition for Donut Media as a host on one of their new YouTube channel shows. The testing has been intense and lengthy, but now that it’s all submitted I...

    M274 Mechanical Mule

    For those of you who don’t know me, I like to go really fast or really slow! I also like well engineered machines and quirky designs, so today I thought I’d share my M274 mechanical mules. They are 1/2 ton weapons carriers that were designed in the late 1950s. Being almost completely made of...

    CSX4289

    A car that has always been at the top of my list, but always out of reach is a Shelby Cobra. The stories of Carol Shelby with his entrepreneurial, showman, used car salesman spirit was always something I could relate to. While visiting another forum member for his GT delivery, I spotted CSX4289...

    No power steering on a cold start

    I’ve been noticing more frequently that my car has no power steering on startup after it’s been sitting for a few days. Once it’s warm, no issues. It’s almost like a valve is stuck closed, then opens and the power steering is normal. This condition sometimes last for 30 seconds other times less...

    Oil filters?

    I’ve been waiting for several weeks for an oil filter to become available from Ford. The concierge has been great with keeping me in the loop, but it appears that Ford is looking for a new source of filters and there are no filters currently available. Would anyone have one sitting on the shelf...
