Seth my man! We've been waiting for you. Each week for the past several years, we have a Mustang GT owner come over to let us know how much our 350/R's are really worth. Seeing as it's Monday, you're this week's valuation member.
ZING! Hellcats and Z06's with discounts yet the R's still command a premium and sell at MSRP used. We are all so stupiiiiiiid!
Does the center cluster have oil pressure? Neither of my car's have had op displayed there.
The econolines had the same thing. My guess is it would require a harness and new mirror assembly which Ford isn't likely to deal with for what short run is left on a faily unpopular option on a niche model.
If you mean those 2 gauges between the AC vents then yes, oil pressure and oil temperature. Even if not ideally angled I can glance over and see how things are doing. This way I can use the instrument cluster display for other things (e.g. tire pressures that I can correlate to tire temperatures depending on ambient temperatures or other things).
He was referring to the center cluster display between the tach and speedo, as he has a base and does not have the 2 gauges above the vents. I was asking if his cluster displayed oil pressure. Mine does not, but I have an electronics package car so I have the 2 gauges.
Are you suggesting that the factory will change the car to an electronics package car (IE, add the option) after it's been produced? The blend date has come and gone and for all intensive purposes, it's done and sitting ready to ship.
Yes. Mine shows both!
It's also listed in the supplemental manual, page 22.
You are correct. It is in the supplement. Problem is my car does not have it (the oil pressure virtual gauge that it). Out of the 10 virtual gauges in the supplement my car has 9 and then it has another one the supplement does not mention “Distance to empty”. And as mentioned it does not have the oil pressure one.
Don't know. Maybe activate with forscan?? Either way, both my track pack and R displayed oil pressure and temp in the LCD display
Really - for aesthetics? I agree they are not easily read, but they are not there to record scientific data while driving. Glance over for a second, needles pointing up, you're good to go.
FR will not change the 2 remaining base R's over to Electronics Package cars as just way too much work with respect to radio antenna, wiring, AC plumbing, carpet sound deadener etc.
Maybe I am spoiled from the Aviation world but even in my little Saturn Champ Car we placed our gauges within our periphery not out of it. In fact, my S550 had two gauges there as well. Albeit one was a vacuum boost in a performance pack car??? The only items out of the periphery should be warning/caution lights not needles on a gauge with very small font.
