I can tell you after Ford changed my oil at 4k miles (they're doing an oil consumption test) the 2k rattle is much more prevalent. Yes it has 10 qts in it and the factory 5w20 was used.

--25mm is generally fine for the front and most run the same 25mm on the rear...You have a V-6 car w/ 18" wheels so it may require some digging to find others that have done them on your combo. --NO alignment required, you are doing nothing to affect it --NO additional tire wear should be...

Sybil should be her name...

'18-up takes a different wheel btw.

That’s 100% 2k rattle...I’ve been dealing with since about 1500 miles, has 4K on it now. My car was at ford for 2 weeks with no fix. There was absolutely no noticeable metal in the oil filter either. Tech and advisor both agreed the noise was there but Ford offered no real help on the issue, and...

Yes, my ‘09 GT500. Vmp pullied and tuned, was quite fun.

I think you’re misunderstanding the interference issue. It’s not the wheel spacer studs that require trimming it’s the ones on your car. When you bolt up a 20mm spacer the stock wheel studs will protrude too far past the face of the wheel spacer, therefore forcing the wheel’s mounting surface to...

Are you absolutely sure the wheel is flush/flat on that spacer?? Everyone I’ve read, including the ones I had on my car, required either trimming the studs or grinding the pocket in the back of the wheel in order for the wheel to sit flat against the spacer. It’s close but the wheel was...

Likely due to the Mustang being a 'Performance' car, which typically has expected trade-offs. Many other manufacturers do the same, more forgiving of oil use and engine noise...

Assuming it was full the day I picked it up, 2.5 qts in 4K.

Well this will be interesting for sure...My '18 GT is undergoing an oil consumption test right now. Dipstick marked and to return every 500 miles or so for a quick check. Yes, very interesting...

BDX is what I have understood as well. Hmmm

Wasn't aware you could tune an '18-up with an X4 ?

Absolutely could be, and to be clear a rod and/or rod bearing wasn’t my only concern. It’s also reminiscent of a wrist pin out of spec as well..

Not only then but is fairly typical. Think about it this way...when the rotating assembly is loaded in either direction (accel or decel) the load takes up any ‘slack’ per say so it can’t rattle. Now if clearances are really excessive it can rattle at other times. Imaging towing a car with a...

Tip in is exactly when my does it, however if you put any load on the engine past that tip it’s gone. Letting off the throttle in gear is decel, no matter the speed/gear/rpm. When you relieve that decel condition by ‘tipping in’ to the throttle you are basically free-wheeling the drivetrain for...

One thing to remember about that is you are putting the rotating assembly in an unloaded condition when you tip in the throttle from idle or decel to accel. It's basically a coast condition, when the engine has no load on it, which is usually when a bottom end rattle would occur (like a rod and...

I just out ran one of those last week..

Secondary air injection would be likely.

Would like to hear a sound clip or two if possible..My Steeda X is in the box awaiting it's install but I'm having reservations.
