  1. 10R80 issue Mach 1

    Some 6R80s do the same, mine included. Disabling the adaptive shift, and/or relearning fixes it. The TSB Ohio_Pilot1980 mentioned is worth having checked out.
  2. For those keeping the Mustang..are you buying parts?

    I plan on keeping my Mustang until the last of my driving days, where it will be either passed down to my kid, or sold to another kid for nothing more than a 12-pack of Mtn Dew. Until then, yeah, I plan on stocking up on replacement parts as-needed. Especially now that I have a huge garage, I...
  3. How many speeding tickets have you gotten? Were the officers aggressive or being rude?

    Been driving for over ten years. About to reach the ten year mark with my Mustang. Only one ticket throughout my "career" so far. 141 in a 70. MPH, not KPH. Texas State Trooper. It's the main reason why I used to never run radar, I would drive too fast for it to ever be useful. It has been four...
  4. How is oil life calculated and do I need to change it?

    It's good enough for me. I have started going by the oil analysis monitor from now on. Once it hits the 15-20% marker, I change it when I am next available to do so. Used Blackstone Labs to try out various oil change intervals, and wear rates were still consistent at #/1,000 miles. With the oil...
  5. Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering Jobs in North Carolina?

    Got into Corning Inc., thermal systems. I'll be learning & taking over projects involving melters. I'm on the R&D side of things though, so a mixed bag of small scale + large/expansive scale items. Hell of a transition.
  6. Radar Detector mounting locations / pics

    After 15,000 miles of use, nope, or at least, does not appear to be the case! Picked up radar from behind in every event that has counted for me so far—saving me as well!
  7. Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering Jobs in North Carolina?

    Cheers to everyone here that has helped out. I've actually moved out to PA to work in an entirely different field that I didn't know I could even work in! Close enough to NC to retain my original plans as well. Cheers!
  8. 6R80 Reset or Disable Adaptive Transmission Tables

    I assume I can spend some time now to update everyone, as well as respond to this. My driving patterns have been fairly consistent over the upcoming 10 years with my car. Mostly highway driving, and the ever so rare high speed/hard driving. If the transmission was learning properly, it...
  9. Conerning Engine Noises, 5.0 GT Convertable

    He did make some solid points though. If you are buying a vehicle any "better" than your common daily driver, you should at the very least look into a list of known issue, with the "Coyote tick" being quite a infamous one. 🤣
  10. Conerning Engine Noises, 5.0 GT Convertable

    Happens. As others have said, Ceratec will fix it as it has done to mine, or swap to a good 5W-30 oil. Either will fix it—no need for both. I've been running 5W-30 for a while now, and the tick's been gone, at 105k miles. Personally, I suggest stepping up to 5W-30, or try out other oil...
  11. Service AdvanceTrac light, No power steering, no adaptive cruise control after laps on track

    Did you ever find the fix? I'm in the middle of a move and DANG what a bloody great time for this to happen with my car! Mine is a 2016 as well, mostly stock with only FortuneAuto suspension I've put well over 15,000 miles on in about a year. I currently have my battery out charging up just in...
  12. Radar Detector mounting locations / pics

    I'm not sure, we'll find out. From that level, it does see out of the rear window, but I'm sure it loses out some level of vertical sensitivity. But I did get some detections from the rear.
  13. Radar Detector mounting locations / pics

    Sorry for the necro, but thought I'd throw in my own two cents & share what I've done. Took inspiration from thunderstrike's earlier post, and designed my own mount for the Valentine V1 Gen 2. I am easily one of the biggest suction cup haters in the world out there, so I made my own...
  14. High Filtration Efficiency Air Filters? (2015–2017)

    Yup! That's essentially why I've almost never replaced factory filters. I'd say over the 100k miles driven so far, I've only replaced it three times. I typically wait until I either notice irregularities within the pleat itself, or any other form of damage on the filter or gasket. I haven't...
