What did you do to your GT350 today?

[edunn14]

Took it to Blue Ridge! After my airport parking post, the gravel road I took would give some of y’all heart attacks I think.

I'd rather drive my GT350 down a gravel road at 50mph than park it at an airport

I stopped by the Service Department at Price Pro Ford to see my car, still hasn’t moved.
Dropped it off March 26

After 7 years, the OEM Motorcraft battery finally said it was done. New battery installed today. Now I’m not scared it won’t start in a parking lot.

immediately went to Menards and bought a bunch of stuff for prepping drywall for texturing and painting. #aGT350Risapracticalvehicle

That’s unacceptable! I’d be outraged. What’s the hold up?

Last of the parts for the transmission arrived July 8th.
Only one mechanic is qualified to do the job and they don’t allow him the time to work on it as this is warranty work and they have higher paying jobs that they are putting in first.
Car is scattered in 2 areas.
Other mechanics aren’t qualified to put transmission back together

Tired of hearing that excuse from dealers. They get paid for the work by Ford. They aren't doing it for free or at a reduced cost.

When I got my engine replaced under warranty at a dealership in NC, I brought the car in on a Saturday. The mechanic looked at it on Monday, and ordered a new engine. By the end of the week it was installed. I only waited because I was also getting a new hood under the corrosion warranty. The hood took a month to get in.
The dealership had no problem doing all the work, and in a timely manner. They even arranged to have it shipped back to me in NY through a transport carrier. They had Ford pay for everything, over $35K in total costs.

One my Ford dealers is the same way, they only have 1 transmission mechanic. Seems odd to me, especially with the DCT and the 10 speed auto in the Ford lineup. You’d think they would have a couple just given the time and complexity working on those transmissions takes.

For whatever reason tranny techs have always been scarce, even when I had my shop years ago. Back around 2000-2005 a tranny tech at a franchised dealer(big three) was low hundreds. Was always surprised that more guys didn’t go that route as opposed to just the regular tech route. Ironically it’s no different in todays dealerships.

Cleaned the wheels this weekend while they were off the car. 2 months of caked on brake dust, gone!

Coated them after with this spray I was gifted (Stoners car care). I used it one day on my daily just to see how it did and it did incredibly well on an unprepped/unclean surface when applied in the sun so I'm hopeful lmao. Wheels do feel very slick now

Shined up the tires too. Put it all together.
Next step, polish up the exhaust tips . . . I bought Gliptone metal polish at the least aggressive level, so it will take a bit more time but I'm already excited to see my test spot all shiny.

My car has sat at the dealership 3 weeks so far waiting just to get a mechanic to get a lift space.

In need of the AC work you've been talking about? It'll be winter at this rate and you won't need it.

Yeah well.... Something like that I guess.

Installed the Optimum Performance caliper stud kit and put new front pads on. Really good installation instructions and quality. They just took forever to get in stock. This will make future pad changes a lot easier. Could have maybe done another track day on the pads, but now I know I'm good for a bit.

Have had those on my 19 R since brand new, probable been thru about a dozen sets of front brakes.

Love the product and just installed a set of the pins on my 20 GT500 TP car.
