Today, I replaced a failed oil pressure gauge. I have included two links to prior posts that were extremely helpful in describing what steps need to be taken to do the job. http://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/showthread.php/20781-Gauge-Replacement-How-to?highlight=gauge+removal...

I am in the process of changing my oil pressure sending switch and have a question........what is the trick to removing the electrical connector in the switch? It looks like it should pull right off, but I don’t want to break it. AND there are two red plastic tabs on each side of the connector...

i couldn't help but post this great instructional driving video depicting the C5 & C6 Corvette models. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a5f_1322263306

i know this is not a Ford GT, but you gotta love this video.........a guy takes his Mom out for a run at Laguna Seca, and films the whole ride !! i think my Significant Other may have reacted the same way during the last Bony Memorial run from San Diego to Palm Springs. enjoy ...

I just saw a red stripe delete Ford GT sell at the Leake Auction in Dallas. It had 1,488 original miles. It hammered at $126,000. With the buyer's premium @ 10%, it totaled $138,600 to the buyer. The VIN is 1FAFP90S65Y401210. Here were a few interesting other big cars that sold (excl 10%...

i plan to install a GPS/motion sensor device to serve as a motion detector (www.arrowtrackgps.com). the device needs to have a positive & negative power feed (no problem here - just connect to battery), but it optionally can connect to the ignition system to detect any time the ignition of a...

does anyone have a good source for a front chin spoiler? i scraped mine today leaving a concourse event (can you believe it????) and need to replace it. also, any idea what a new one runs?

i just bought an AC Hydraulic floor jack for my garage. it has a very low profile and is long enough to reach under the side of the GT to easily reach the middle jack point that lines up with the door lock. Pelican Parts just started carrying them again at a competitive price. when i owned my...

I did the Accufab bolt change. a couple of things that made the job interesting: 1). i removed the tire on each side to get better access to the bolts. 2). there were no instructions with the box of bolts which was a pretty big oversight on the mfg's side. thanks to Google, I was able to get...

yesterday i finished my "all day oil & tranny service" project. i really enjoyed it, but taking all of those underpanel fasteners was a real pain. the only two parts that were a little challenging was the size of the oil filter housing cap and the size of the tranny drain plug. luckily i...

Just got back from my local Ford dealer buying parts for an oil change. As an FYI, Motorcraft Part Number FL-2024 is the part number that includes both the internal filter element AND the large O-ring for the filter cap. I am posting this because on a few oil change threads I checked, several...

this afternoon, about 3:30 PM Pacific time, i got my GT on a jack for the first time since i brought it home. (thanks for all the tips on lift points !) i had one of the rear tires off of the car when all of a sudden i feel shaking and hear rattling. i look up and see the bikes hanging on my...

for GT owners who have clear bra'd their cars, how much of the car did you cover? i am going to do the entire front end, the rocker panels, bottom rear of the car (behind the wheels), and the headlights/foglights. however, i am also wondering if i should do the doors on either side (for door...

I am about to clear bra my Heritage and am thinking about whether I want to peel off the number installed by the previous owner and keep an "un-numbered" car? Or should I keep the #8 that he put on? My question to other Heritage owners -- did you number ? Why did you pick the number you chose...

i just drove home my a 2006 Heritage. it looks real nice sitting in my garage ! my first impressions: suprisingly quiet, incredibly powerful, really stiff suspension, wonder why they put in 5th & 6th gears (LOL). i already saw a hose that needs to be replaced -- one coming off of the rear of...
