Weird flex but OK.

I have FPP2, so same intake parts. I think the highest I've seen is 168 F, probably sitting in a drive thru when it was 115 F outside here in Tucson. I haven't ever seen any bad effects from that harsh treatment. Not even obvious loss of power. Around 147 in the summer is very common for me. As...

My Steeda hood kit lasted about 2 years before it wouldn't hold it up anymore. I never bothered to replace it with anything - just use the bar now. I don't think any of them last, which is a shame, especially considering how overpriced they are.

I put it in at its natural density - like what it would have sitting on the table not in a box or bag or anything. I just tried to put enough in to fill every corner. It came out good. Now I pretty much only listen to audiobooks. I guess I got old. :crackup:

Interesting observation. It seems like that implies that used cars from places like Tucson, where I live, should be worth a lot more than rust-belt/New England cars. I wonder if KBB/Carvana/etc take that into account when they give an estimate of used vehicle value.

Glad to hear you fixed it. Did the seller give you the original tune when you bought the car, or did you find a stock tune online somewhere?

I have a 2017 with 76K miles, and a J&L passenger oil separator has been there almost the entire time. The oil in there looks like thin oil and smells like stanky crankcase oil, but I've never seen any layers or milky/wateriness. But, I'm in Tucson so there's not a lot of cold or moisture...

Seat belt grabber arms. Majorly reduced the chafing on my neck. I learned about them here at mustang6g (somewhere). It's been a while since I bought them, but these look similar...

My 2017 GT auto (NA, Ford Performance Power Pack 2 calibration) has the 3.55 and I average 23 mpg with mostly rural and freeway driving. OTOH I did notice when I went from summer tires to all seasons (Michelin Pilot AS3) a while back that the tires like to break loose really easy. My next set...

Not sure about your situation, but from past experience, COBRA prices can be really inflated. It might be worth it to shop around and look at Obamacare or whatever.

If I was an insurance company I would specifically exclude coverage for all Mustangs at Cars & Coffee. :crackup:

I'm getting old, so I think of everything in terms of retirement. So, I would ask, would shelling out an $70000 or so extra for the GT500 after trade-in effect when you can retire? And if so, are you OK with working 2+ years longer for this car? If so, go for it.

Yes it's the best thing I've found. Grease never gets to the right place, and silicone wears off too fast.

I use garage door lube from the hardware store. It's just 3 in 1 oil in spray form but it's a good combo of easy to apply and longish lasting.

Yes it would - most devices that use high current have a separate power switch line that you connect to a (low power) accessory power circuit that turns it on when the car is running. If your device takes high power *and* needs to be powered on only when the car is running *and* doesn't have a...
