What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[MCS]

I forgot all about this. What did I do on Tuesday you mean?

I got the latest calibration for the SC installed and the learn mode re-initiated so the transmission can properly re-learn the drive modes. Now I need some dry weather days to drive it for a full tank of gas, in normal, with a light foot and no paddle shifting.

Added Ford floor mats. They fit like a glove, best mats I owned so far. They are thick and feel sturdy. I used some of my Ford points, you still have to pay for shipping.

I’m glad you liked my idea and it worked for you. I feel so much safer under my car when it’s up on my wheel cribs.

Absolutely! Feel much safer with the cribbing vs jack stands. Thank you for sharing the information and giving us the idea!

Just super curious why you didn’t feel safe with jack stands? I’ve never heard of any issues with jack stands failing…

I work as a firefighter/paramedic. Past experiences of what I’ve seen and what others in the area have seen make me leery about relying on jack stands. We use cribbing all the time for holding heavy loads so that’s what I’m comfortable with. I have a set of jack stands for times when I need something smaller and portable but I’d prefer to use the cribbing when working under the car.

Look up Harbor Freight failures.

Oh wow, had no idea about that.

Regardless, I feel very safe with my 3-ton double-locking craftsman jack stands. But the cribs are an interesting solution as well.

The weather here has been amazing these last few days...weeks, months. No winter here in the DMV this year. But especially these last few days. Hit 80 today.

Took it out for a couple hours tonight. Had some fun with a few cars. Had more pulling hard out of corners and the 2nd-3rd-4th shifts.

Almost washed mine but then I realized it would be an exercise in futility. Geez, I hate pollen,

Yess same problem! The wife hates it but there’s no point lol! Unfortunately we don’t have a garage.

I have video in my phone of a friend's HF jackstand. We put it up into position...a minor bump or push caused it to come down. Happened to him while working on his Super Duty. He thankfully wasn't harmed...

Very miner point but as with ramps, make sure nothing under the car would have interference if tires deflated or any type of spring failure.

Big thanks to Terry over at @beefcake and Brian with Finish Line in Milford, Ohio. We finally moved the needle on the WHP numbers and added the Vortech.

Added some MT S/S to the rears and the GT500 Spoiler. .. I haven't driven it yet but super excited. .
