I also play guitar, and learning it has been a fun ride. When I started, I just had a simple guitar and amp. The key for me was to keep practising and trying new things. Every new riff I learned made it more exciting. I watch a bunch of guitar videos on YouTube, too. It's cool to see how...

When I was in a similar situation, looking for a reliable yet sporty car, I had my heart set on a Subaru WRX. Just like the Mustang GT, it's a performance car, so I had to be extra careful about its maintenance history and any modifications done by the previous owner. It's always best to have a...

Unfortunately, I did not. The parts manager said that was the engine part number it said to order based on my VIN number. I sent a query to Tasca and I'm hoping they can tell us. I know Cyl #2 let go. I know the rod broke and punched thru the engine wall and I know the piston broke up (it...

Thanks man! Fortunately my baby is back in one piece and on the road again. Made it out of the dealer with a new engine, turbo, misc. parts, labor and Ford Performance Pro Cal/Intake installed (labor only) for $6,500.00. So... now we know what it costs to replace a blown Ecoboost engine...

Well, bad news on the Ford Performance tune from Ford Warranty: "We can register this VIN for the Ford Performance warranty, but I did want to remind you that our warranty is for 3 years, 36,000 miles from the original in-service (sale) date of the vehicle which would give you approximately...

I had it connected to the vehicle and the gauges were registering voltage and the laptop was connected to WiFi. Not sure if the fact that the dealer already downloaded with my ID has something to do with it but I asked them to give me a copy. Does anyone know if it downloads the stock tune to...

Fuel is 91oct and is the only grade I have ever run in it. Dealer spoke to Ford Techline and they suggested taking the tune off and verifying no misfires which we did. They drove it 20 miles and I drove it to/from home last night and this morning so another 50+ miles. No misfires or CEL's, so...

Dropped it off this morning and was surprised they actually gave me a loaner (Fusion). I asked them to give me the FP tune file on a USB stick that I provided. I loaded the FP software on a laptop I have, but it wouldn't download the tune file. Finger crossed....

Here's my situation: Brand new long block & turbo. Tech test drove with stock air box and verified everything was good to go. He then installed the Ford Performance tune and did not test drive. I picked up the car, drove it 2-3 miles and it started shuddering, lost power and the engine light...

If I understand correctly, the ProCal software that comes with the tune (that is put on a laptop) can be used to log and analyze just like a Cobb or similar device and does not require any additional hardware? I just ordered the the kit from Summit and I'm curious about additional...

Did the new install include a new turbo?

Thanks - discussed Esslinger here I would have loved to have gone that route but just couldn't afford it.

I actually have the question in to the dealer parts counter and i'm waiting to hear back. Reason I'm curious is the written estimate given to me for MY car is the non-PP engine number. Makes me nervous...

That's understood, but what is the difference between the engine block for a PP vs. non-PP. Ford lists (2) P/N's: GR3Z6006E - ENGINE - Mustang; w/o Performance Package GR3Z6006F - ENGINE - Mustang; w/ Performance Package
