I have the only 500 that my small town dealer actually sold, but when I commented that filters were now available he ordered 6 to put on the shelf. I told him that I had 2 and didn't need any, but he ordered them anyway. I tried to explain that somebody might really need them.
When the supply starts flowing the problem will be just like toilet paper. The first pig to the
trough will snag a dozen of them and the demand won't settle down until half the guys have
a multi-year supply. Be reasonable.
They had the "old style" snake on them. You'd think if they were going to offer mats for the
2020+ GT500, they could have put the current design on them. Were they getting rid of old
inventory? I took one look and thought, No thanks. It was a fair price for what is usually is
way over priced...
Without a battery maintainer connected, due to all the "stuff" on these cars and their tendency to "phone home to momma", they will drop the battery voltage in 2-3 weeks. Due to long stretches of rotten weather, I have had the voltage drop, so now I plug it in whenever I park it.
I seem to recall that one of the regular guys here is married to an attorney, so I was waiting for someone to say "class action lawsuit". So I went looking for what obligation Ford was under to provide parts and found this...
If any of you Texas guys are going to this event on March 16-20, stop into the Mickey Thompson area
(main sponsor) and inquire when MT ET Street SS drag radials will be available. The whole country
has then on back order. Just wondering what's up with that.
I bought a complete kit. The jack has 2 flat areas, at different levels, with a pinch weld slot in between. I would be really hesitant to use it on jacking rails without making up some type of
u-channel adapter to cradle the rail and a tab underneath to fit in the p-weld slot. (sort of
like a...
You Jaeger users need to take a look under that gripper area. If you do lose one and can't
get a replacement, what are you going to cover the scratches with? An ABS L bracket
and 3M 5952 VHB tape is all you need for the top mount on the RokBlokz. They mount
with the 3 screws in the GT350 kit...
The guys at RokBlokz used the GT350 pattern to cut a 1/2 wider set of flaps to fit the 500.
They don't fall off and scratch up the fender lip like that other brand. ☹
My spare arrived yesterday & I fit checked it, front & rear today. Results were the same as Tom & Mike's. As Tom points out, the front caliper tight fit is only at the edge. One thing that I noticed in the first photos was what looked like a lot of offset out of the rear wheel well. It's not...
I am working only on the rear to put on some 19" wheels for MT ET Streets SS drag radials.
On Goose's vid, you have to pull the rear hubs to get the factory (base) studs out. 😖
May have to go the trimmed stud route. Maybe 20mm spacers have enough room so that
won't be necessary.
I was looking for 12-15mm wheel spacers and the Eibach site warns that theirs are
not compatible with Magneride. What's up with that? I watched Goose17's vid on
changing to longer rear wheel bolts & really don't want to go that route.
Anyone know of a good centric 12-20mm spacer that fits a 500?
Well that sucks, I called AutoNation and verified 1 filter housing in stock, (in the gals hand), put it in my cart & placed the order. 7 hours later they email me that it is backordered.
Ordered the last oil filter housing (w/filter) that AutoNation Ford had in stock. After changing oil last summer, I decided it is a good idea to have a spare housing on hand. The hex end seems a little soft & with age could fail.
A good way to score a filter and have a spare housing. #KR3Z-6A832-A
I googled Amsoil EA15K43 and did not get a direct hit. Searching the Amsoil site for 2020 5.2 J code (GT500) and 2020 5.2 Z code (GT350?) gives no hits. Where did this filter come from?
Key fobs are in the cars! My dealer sent 2 guys I know to Flat Rock in May 2020 to pick up my
car. They showed the guard the paperwork, the guards gave them the row & column # and they
drove in, started & loaded the car. They waved to the guards as they drove out with no check to see if they...
Tom, that's memory from the far past. Podunk Center, IA was a small central Iowa "wide spot
in the road" that some guy had bought up all the businesses and sold the whole town in one
deal in 1969.
What is your rear wheel width? Some where there was a change from 10.5" to 11".
2018-2019 maybe???
Also, 11" 350 wheels have an offset of 62mm, so I wonder if he is using 1/2"+ spacers
to match the 500 50mm offset.
