Hopefully you're out of the woods then. I'm surprised that you had no codes at all though, especially if this event was recent. Who's E58 tune are you running? Do you ever collect datalogs?

Question for you guys: How standard are these stripe kits? As far as I can tell, these are exact copies of the factory stripes...but I guess I don't know that for sure. Has anyone ever mixed/matched kits? I'm asking because I noticed that my roof stripe is ever so slightly off-center. I...

Interesting to see what you guys do!! I was in aerospace supply chain starting in my late 20s, went back to grad school in my 30s and now I'm a psychotherapist. I still refuse to drive a Volvo. :D

I have had this happen. My 2020 has Ford Racing tune/CAI, a few other things that shouldn't affect the reliability. I was sitting in stop and go traffic and it shut off. No signs of overheating but I was definitely not moving faster than 10mph. It just quit and the dash lit up with warning...

Thanks! Unfortunately, I tried this at the time and it didn't do anything. It could be that changes to the 2020 software had not yet been accommodated but has since been corrected so if anyone else is swapping to 4.09s, definitely try updating this table before spending any more money.

This isn’t exactly true and you might see why in the post directly preceding yours.

I just had this observation myself last weekend when the Mach1 pace car for our "highway speed parade laps" at Palmer Motorsports Park was parked and I couldn't figure out why the wheels looked slightly better on the actual car.... well, it's true. The wheels that we can buy from Ford are...

All done. I still have plenty of work to do with the heat gun and a pin to get rid of some tiny water bubbles that I didn’t totally squeegee out. I’m not going to lie, this took a long time for me. Applying stripes and getting them straight and centered is way harder than it looks. That...

I just saw this kit on sale for ~$180 shipped and I thought....why not? They look pretty much right on compared to the factory stripes...Every time I see an '18 body style Mustang with these stripes, it turns my head. So, we'll see how much I actually like them on my own car. The price was...

It cracks me up when you guys talk about short throw shifters. I go back and forth between the A833 4spd with a Hurst shifter in my Dodge and the MT82 and the latter has about half the travel! Assuming we're not talking about a dump truck shifter, I actually prefer a longer throw even if it's...

Good enough reason...I'll just add an anecdotal data point here in saying that the longest I've ever gone is ~3,900...many would say that with synthetic, it's a waste of money to change that early but I'm with you on leaning toward the side of caution. This is all very valid but do any of...

I'll just say again, my comment was based on comparing two communities that are similar in demographics. Your comment, even if it was valid in some general sense, has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. People who are into building, maintaining, driving, enjoying older cars need to...

Seriously?

I don't follow. You think your engine should...sometimes, for unknown reasons, in unpredictable circumstances, just start clattering, then stop for other unknown reasons? No, I don't think it should sound like that. I don't think it's the worst thing in the world but it sounds bad to my ear...

Thanks for sharing your biases. I think you're misinformed but I don't get the sense that you are here to discuss. For anyone who is curious, the demographic overlap between the two communities that I'm talking about is very close. The Coyote Mustang crowd that I know well just tends to...
