I posted a similar thread in the 50th LE forum. After thinking about it, maybe it is be better to ask the larger 2015-2017 Coyote 5.0 M6G Community about ownership experience, since these were the "intro" S550 5.0's that went through most of the growing pains... This thread may also help perspective buyers of a 2015-2017 S550 5.0.
For ONLY the 2015-2017 S550 Coyote 5.0, please add your Ownership experiences here, being that the vehicles have now aged 5-7 years after production.
1) Basic -
- How many miles on your 2015-2017?
- Daily driver, Garage Queen or Race (Drag/Road/Auto Cross)?
- Long term ownership experience to date as far as reliability and expectation?
2) A/C System -
- Any issues with the A/C or common EVAP core problems?
- If problem, was it the A/C compressor or EVAP that failed?
3) MT82 -
- Any issues with the gearbox operation or shifting functionalities?
- Any issues with clutch slave cylinder?
4) 6R80 -
Any issues with harsh shifts or valve body concerns?
5) Engine -
- Oil consumption issues?
- VCT issues?
- Intake (IMRC) issues?
- Water pump issues?
- Timing system issues (chain, guides, etc.)
- OPG issues?
- If engine has been replaced, why?
6) SYNC -
- Have you upgraded your 2015-2017 SYNC to the most current version available for 2015-2017?
- Have you upgraded SYNC to the 2018+ SYNC? Upgrading to the 2018+ may require swapping of the APIM or other components.
- Have you added Apple CarPlay/Android Auto?
7) Paint/Corrosion -
Any issues with hood (rust, corrosion or peeling)?
Any issues with corrosion in drainage channels at front windshield or rear window?
8) Has anyone tried to add the 2018+ Active Exhaust?
