Long Term Coyote 5.0 Owners - post up status updates

[ralph7]

2019 Bullitt, had it a little over 2 years, had 18k, now has 34k.
Might use 1/2 quart in 5k miles, runs like it did when I first
got it, which is strong. Hard of hearing, so it may have the tick, who cares? Daily driver, unless bad weather, how could I not?
I have had a lot of cool cars, growing up in the prime of the muscle car era. (73yrs old)
This is probably no faster than my high school build, but absolutely the coolest I have ever owned, by far!

2019 GT PP1, 50k miles now bought in 2021 with only 2500 miles. So about 9500mi/yr.

Back drivers side diff bushing had a small tear, rear front LCA bushings are showing cracks, and timing cover is weeping. Consumes about 1-2 qt of oil between changes, but has no issues otherwise.

Its been a great car overall, dead reliable.

Where is the leak on your timing cover (top, middle or bottom)?

Middle on the passenger side, just behind the AC compressor. Its pretty hard to see which is why i didn't notice it for a while. Its a very slow weep, no drops on the floor but the area is wet with oil and stuck on road dust.

Its probably been going for a long time but because its so hidden I didn't notice it until I was doing the front sway and spending a lot of time in that area. I'm just keeping an eye on it for now, if it speeds up I'll reseal it.

Save it for when you do OPGs if you haven’t done them already. I just cleaned all of the old RTV off of mine in preparation for when it goes back together. It was a huge pain to drop the oil pan. It required me having to buy a cherry picker to get the engine up high enough to access the pan. The pan does have to come down in order to get the timing cover off.

I'm the second owner of a 2015 50th anniversary appearance package. Since owing it, I installed Steeda suspension parts in the front and rear, Maximum MotorSports caster/camber plates, and aftermarket wheels. The factory wheels are the 50th anniversary package ones and I didn't want to get too much road rash on them. I changed the back panel and put the original one in my office. It has the 50th emblem on it and it fell off once in my driveway.
The mileage is just under 100k now and the engine gets the oil and filter changed with Mobil-1 5W30 every 5k miles.
The only real bad issue I had was having to change the air conditioning evaporator coil. Also, the brake pedal bumper stop issue occurred when I went to the panhandle area of Florida on vacation and it decided to disentigrate while on Hwy 98 in heavy traffic. I fixed it with a nickel and duct tape in a parking lot. It's still there... lol

Bought my 2017 new (with 79 miles) in April of 2017.

Current mileage is about 13,400.

Blower was installed at 4,800 miles.

Car has had one issue - a blown out rear shock which manifested itself last fall. All 4 dampers have since been replaced with upgraded Ford Racing units.

There are some other mods, but not relevant to the OP's question.

Other than new tires, and routine oil changes, zero maintenance or problems. Which I'd hope, given how little it is driven

2022 GT PP1 with a Stage 1 Whipple installed at 12k miles. Now just hit 30k miles after using it as a daily for a while. I've ran it with a little bit of Boostane for more safety every time I fill up and the only issue I've had was an idler pulley going bad as it was rattling (Whipple part), got it replaced though. Was told it's a maintenance item though so I'm not tripping about it. Car is driven hard on the street every time I get the chance, although I do not track/circuit race with it.

For the 2015-2023 Coyote 5.0 owners who have owned their S550’s long term now - give us a status update of ownership bits…

- Such as accrued miles
- Major or minor repairs
- How is the engine holding up and is it still the original 5.0 to the vehicle?
- Forced Induction (supercharger/turbo) or N/A?

I’m curious to hear your ownership experiences and pros/cons now that the oldest S550 is 11 years old and the “newest” is 3 years old.

Hello, Bought a 2016 GT/CS with 27,231 miles on it in 2023 only one owner before that car was in perfect condition. Was 100% stock, now its FBO
Borla Atak full exhaust [cat-less]
Pmas Cai
Lethal kooks LTH w o2 spaces
2018 ported manifold & straight e85 tuned and right and left catch cans.
It currently has 76,572 miles on it. Have driven the hell out of it and loved every minute minus the bs from Ford recently when I took it in to swap all tires and get a balance. Oil change every 3k to 5k miles. About to do rear diff and trans when I get back and put new wheels on her. Goal is to be boosted this summer with suspension upgrade and op&g. If i get enough time. Next year I plan on getting a 2020+ GT500 slightly used. This is my 2nd mustang as I had an 02 cobra svt way back in the day [2008].

2019 GT original owner. About 48000 km (30k miles). Motor has been a champ. I have had the 2k rattle from day one and still rattles like it always has. I can use a small amount of oil between changes which is more dependent on drive modes. Basically, using Sport or Sport + induces more engine braking which seems to suck a little out. But its minor for sure and has been consistent.

Honestly, I still love the car and am hanging on to it until I croak likely. The A10 is meh at times with rough shifts he and there but I still have some extended warranty for another 16 months or so and intend to push back on that more yet.

Hi drivers,

Original owner of a 2016 Guard 6MT, bought new. Heavily modified and driven hard around most tracks in CA. Eagerly looking to go into the PNW tracks and COTA.

Meticulously maintained and on original Motor/Trans/Diff. Clutch and axles swapped for heavier duty units. Consumables/fluids regularly changed.

I don’t drive it daily but when I do it is very fun. It regularly punches above its weight.

 

[Guusgeluk]

2021 GT from US in EU. Bought from a US specialist shop in NL.
1. For month problems with stuttering engine in low rpm and hill up acceleration. Problem solved after stage 1 tune (most prob it was environmental limitation)
2. Cant program de tribar drl as i want, perhaps a hardware linitation.
3. I love this car and give me daily a big smile, and sometimes require new underware…

There's nothing more permanent than a temporary fix

Bought my ‘16 GT 6 speed MT in April of 2020 with 35k on it now it has 60k on the clock. Daily drove it for the first year of ownership zero issues during that time. Then I got an idea of turning the car into an autocross/track day car. I’ve done quite a bit of bolt on’s to it and other then the rear differential bushings failing it has been rock solid car. I did the auto x thing for a couple years and decided to retire the car to occasional weekend drives here and there.

There's a saying that if it can't be fixed with duct tape, baling wire or JBWeld, then it can't be fixed.

Bought my car in Nov. 2020 and everything is stock (just added jacking rails and passenger side oil catchcan). Has just shy of 10,000 miles though I'm using it more now that I live on the mainland. A10 is flawless but shifting is clearly much better in sport mode though I like the great gas mileage in normal Drive mode. Engine is great with no issues and uses no oil between oil changes. When I moved here about 3 years ago, the car only had about 2600 miles on it but loving it here with higher speed limits than where I came from (and longer stretches of highways).
