    Wireless carplay or android auto

    Has anyone looked into replacing the radio with a modern single din wireless android auto or carplay unit? Years ago I replaced my Sanyo with a single din JVC nav unit, but by today's standards it has a very clunky interface. Plus its too far away and small for it to be of much use with my...

    GT350R carbon wheels fit GT?

    Would the carbon fiber wheels from the GT350R fit our 05-06 GTs? I can't find the offset or bolt spacing. Expensive but light! Fronts are 19x11 (Ford part number: FR3Z-1007-R, retail price $4,174.93 each) and slightly wider 19×11.5-inch (Ford part number: FR3Z-1007-S retail price $3,536.33...

    I parked the car the other day with the steering wheel turned slightly to the right. Today I can't unlock the steering column, or turn the key. Tried the usual: jiggle the key, turn wheel from lock to lock, tilt the column, but no joy. The steering wheel only moves an inch or two back and...

    locked steering column

    I parked the car the other day with the steering wheel turned slightly to the right. Today I can't unlock the steering column, or turn the key. Tried the usual: jiggle the key, turn wheel from lock to lock, tilt the column, but no joy. Any other ideas? Battery is charged.

    Help with an annoying noise

    I have an annoying squeak or CREAK that sounds like it is coming from behind the passenger's head in the rear bulkhead. It's quite loud and happens whenever the car hits a bump that causes the chassis to twist. Happens most often under a diagonal load, like hitting a small pot hole on one side...

    Are build binders available?

    I was watching the factory build DVD the other day and noticed that there was a white binder that went with the car as it went down the line. The factory folks were checking off items and recording torque readings in the binder. Anyway, does anyone know if the notebook for an individual car...

    Oil Analysis for GT

    Has anyone taken an oil sample for analysis on their GT? I got a sample of virgin Ford GT Oil and a used sample from my car with 1000 miles. I can post results if you are interested. I might put it up on my web page if there is enough interest. We could get a few samples to chart wear metals...
