FWIW, I just had my engine replaced under warranty. The service rep showed me the bill to Ford and I can assure you, you don't want to do anything that will void that warranty! <TED>

Try Carmax. I would expect them to give you 45-50K. <TED>

In the real world it is a good sign. Yes, it would be nice is this was not necessary, but but at least when they send a service engineer out, something usually happens pretty quickly which at least gets things moving forward. <TED>

They are very slow. I just got my car back from an engine change last Thursday. It was at the dealer's 11 weeks. A huge amount of that time was waiting for responses from FP after the dealer did what they asked it to do and reported back. <TED>

Thanks. That's helpful! <TED>

How did you determine that it is a 2019 R motor? I am picking up my 2018 with a new engine in the morning and I'd like to know what I have. Thanks, <TED>

I agree with this post except the OEM brake fluid is only safe when pretty fresh. Once it gets enough water in it the boiling point goes way down. Just use Castrol SRF. It is awesome and you can forget about boiling problems - even if you get too much water in the fluid. <TED>

I've got 13,000 on my 2018 bought July of 2018... <TED>

Your thoughts mimic mine exactly! Of course, you have seen the unit - I haven't! Many many thanks! This was very useful. <TED>

I read the specs on the QuickJack and they say that the maximum outside width is 60". I take it that the jacking points on the Mustang are no wider than that? (My Mustang is in the shop so I measured my DD which is a BMW and that car needs a slightly wider stance than 60"). What makes it...

Who ever said anything about idle. I certainly didn't. The pressures I gave were at operating RPMs. Idling oil pressure is relatively irrelevant, in any event. <TED>

Mine is a 2018, not 2019, but your pressures are about what mine does on the street. On the track when the oil gets real hot (~270 degrees), it goes down to about 85. I hope this helps! <TED>

I just checked mine and they are still perfect after 13000 miles using aftermarket (Steeda) springs. As do others, I think you have an installation problem. <TED>

I just got my Titanium Lug Nuts. Oh my god! The pictures on the scale don't prepare you for just how light these things are! Utterly amazing! <TED>

If you do this, I'd be interested to hear the results - particularly whether the rears clear the rear suspension adequately. Thanks, <TED>
