It needs the metal insert so the filter doesn't compress under pressure.

The problem with the GT500 market is you have quite a few dealers buying up allocations from other dealers at a premium then putting a premium on top of that once they have them. Hopefully Ford can do something to incentivize dealers to sell them to real people not other dealers.

As for all the talk about screen size Ford should just make the Sync 3 touchscreen standard on all trims. It’s dated anyways with Sync 4 out.

The problem is there isn't any aftermarket oil filter that meets or exceeds the spec of the OEM part. I don't think anyone offers one with an metal inside that provides additional support like the OEM filter.

My biggest complaint with the S550 is that outside of the digital dash in 2018 they have done next to nothing to improve the interior. The layout of the interior is fine but the material quality needs an upgrade and it only gets worse when you're paying Shelby money. Ford will say the reason...

Over priced and likely underperforming, the typical Shelby American offering. Too bad Ford Performance didn’t make a KR instead.

Must resist Atlas Blue…

Atlas Blue is going to look really good.

Yet here you are wasting time commenting about them...

Yup, it's a lot more work than people think. I've thought about doing it myself but I just don't have the time to invest in it. Maybe one day when I retire. lol

I've met StangMode personally and he's a very nice guy and happy to talk with any fellow enthusiast. While I can understand the dislike for the YouTube business model I respect him for making something of it. Nobody is forcing any of you to watch.

I used the USB method and updated my GT500, Explorer ST and wife's Aviator with no problem. Each one took about a half hour. If you have a quality USB 3.0 or 3.1 drive that's at least 8GB and follow the instructions on the Ford website it should work.

The pretty sure the Llumar film is just rebranded Suntek which is a good film as both companies are Eastman brands.

In reality Ford will always try to make the owner prove the modification didn't cause the failure even when they know better that it didn't. The dealer depending on their relationship with Ford might have more preapproval leeway on repairs or concerned about audit because of pushing...

I checked my October 2020 GT500 build today using my friend’s borescope and it looks to be ok per Ford’s document. The VIN was marked in Ford’s system as potentially impacted so I’m relieved. I’ll eventually go to the dealer at some point so Ford is officially notified it’s ok.
