What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Rocketeer]

Changed my spark plugs today. Factory gaps were all over the place, from .039 to 0.05. Also all but one (the one with least oil-carbon gunk) were not torqued, I could get the other seven going with very little load on the wrench.

Used the updated forscan program to enable dark mode.Shut off the double honk feature. Activated Bambi mode.

What codes did you use? And I'd like any and all info you used to make the changes. I read the 2020's have different codes. I'm a n00b when it comes to forscan. Please advise. Thanks.

First time change? On your 2019? That seems concerning.

Yes. Just got it to 20k.
This is my daily and weekend hoon drive all-in-one. Because of COVID, summer riots and fires this car barely put 1000mi last year. Ironically before I did this diy, I thought I snagged a unicorn - the car has had no body/cosmetic snafus, no 2k rattle and burns zero oil (on my fifth oil change - 9.8q of old oil consistently come out). I noticed somewhat big drops in mpg about a year ago and low misfire counts on cylinders (no codes) but I chalked it of to crap CA being extra weak in the winter months.

How very strange. Never heard of factory plugs being gapped poorly like that.

Changed by the previous owner?

That plastic needs some love. 2019....really. That trim is looking 20 years older.

I picked up my car today from having a VMP Gen3R kit installed. It was raining out so I couldn't enjoy it yet. But I see " Lots-o-fun" in my future! LOL

Roll damn tide!

Yeaaaah......I'll bet some $$ it doesn't actually arrive on Thursday.

If I were you, I'd call the lift rental location and cancel it until you actually have the radiator in hand.

All the shipping carriers are running waaaaaaaaaaaaay behind right now. Massively behind schedule.

 

[FreePenguin]

If doesn’t arrive Thursday I will call Friday morning and cancel. FedEx hasn’t been off schedule but I live next door to the hub

Our shipping has been caught up here. USPS is still fracked though.

Wish I had that option around me, couldn't find anything even remotely close by..... How much do they charge and do they also offer tool rental?

Did you color the stitching yourself?

***Nevermind, I see that the red stitching comes with the CS package***

No, they have stitching that matches. Perfectly I might add.
