  1. Best tire for 45°-60° F temperatures?

    Why wouldn't you choose the PS4Ss in 295 and 305/30 front and rear rather than running 295/35 square?
  2. Looking to buy, question about maintenance history

    First, a 2016 can be tech or track pack. While debatable, and many claim no problem, I would personally avoid tech car if in high ambient temp environment or spirited/track use anticipated. I had oil consumption issues which when got down to 1 qt/800 miles took her in and told it was "oil pan...
  3. Decision Time

    Got the money?, get the '20. No dough?, go low ('17).
  4. Interesting oil consumption theory I hadn't heard

    I'm just happy my replacement engine on my 2017 now after 2000 miles hasn't burned anything by the mark on the dipstick 🤞. Already has saved me the cost of 4 quarts of oil!
  5. 2017 owner manual supplement

    I'm sure the problem is resolved but another thought that occurred to me is you can also toggle through the digital gauges and make sure the transmission cooler is working as another way to tell. It is my understanding that on the Tech packages you had to enable it through Forscan to get a...
  6. 2017 owner manual supplement

    As stated, all 2017s have coolers, so you should be ok. That supplement may just be a carryover. If you can't tell by looking under the car, the tech cars had that very thin rear spoiler you can look up pictures of to see (unless your spoiler was replaced I suppose).
  7. Ford Inspector for Warranty Repair-Update:Warranty Denied Claim Due to Off Road Racing

    So it looks like in Chevy's ESP the words competitive driving and racing might give them the same out with your arbitrator?
  8. Ford Inspector for Warranty Repair-Update:Warranty Denied Claim Due to Off Road Racing

    An arbitrator has determined that, in this instance, if by admission or with incontrovertible evidence there is track use, then the ESP will not cover failed components. Bottom line: don't expect your ESP to cover if you track the car. Doesn't mean ESPs are all bad. If there had been no...
  9. Ford Inspector for Warranty Repair-Update:Warranty Denied Claim Due to Off Road Racing

    Can someone enlighten me on ESP coverage of track use and drive train failures past the factory warranty on any track capable car other than the GT350? Is Ford the stand alone bad guy manufacturer here?
  10. Has anyone owned an R first, and went to a non-R?

    You've had an R. Find someone near you on the forum with a non-R, go for a drive and make up your mind.
  11. I think I castrated my Shelby….and I’m not happy about it

    Mod discussion aside, any day I want to start with a good laugh I just pull up and reread the metaphors in OP's original post. :clap:
  12. Ford Inspector for Warranty Repair-Update:Warranty Denied Claim Due to Off Road Racing

    I really doubt the positive effect will be much if OP wins. The only cases that will apply are cars with "racing" paraphernalia on them that have a ESP covered failure. Had they not been on OP's car, the transmission would have been covered. So the insurance company is out a few thousand bucks...
  13. INFORMATION ON TEMPETURES

    If I understand your question correctly, toggle through each reading by pressing the arrow right and you will have the reading displayed on a gauge that will give you an idea of the normal range you should expect.
  14. Questioning Gen 2 voodoo reliability

    Nothing earth shaking but one more opinion for you. Simple answer to your question is for non track use and if not beat on, a Gen 2 GT350 almost certainly long term reliable. No guarantees in life. Any car can be a lemon. To me purchasing extended warranties has more to do with what you can...
  15. Expedite Backordered 5.2 Voodoo Engine replacement?

    Understand a small but not insignificant percentage of Gen 1s failed with same scarring/ring failure including mine and if I recall correctly my cylinders were 4,5, and 8. Thought they fixed it with the Gen 2s. Hope for the best.
