how many miles on it?
what temp was it outside?
i never noticed the āBBQ / Typewriter tickā until after a recent oil change at 15k miles.
that trait is intermittent and not a constant tick.
fuel injectors are quite loud on these cars
BBQ tick sorta sounds like intermittent metal expanding...
sounds like it was time for an upgrade anyways.
I bought mine end of last August with 6800 miles on it and it came Ford Gold Certified so Iām good for 7yrs/100k miles from the in-service date
(basically 5+yrs/ 93k miles)
mine is my first American muscle car as Iāve always had VWs for the most...
I dont think I asked or it was mentionedā¦
how many miles were on your ā18 GT?
Did you drive it hard a lot or often?
Congrats on the ā21 GT.
did you buy it Certified from a Ford dealer?
From what my service guy told me, the 2021 is one of the best years for the GT as far as reliability.
Plus...
thanks again
my car only has 16k miles on it and I wasnt planning on lowering it more than about 1ā - 1.2ā front and back so I should be good with the stock struts and shocks.
I would prefer the Ford dealer do the install and was hoping for a hookup on pricing since they service my car...
thanks for the feedback
unfortunately they sold out š
oh well, I will find something at some point, still waiting to hear back from the dealer regarding install cost
thanks for the feedback.
I am wondering if Progressive springs are better for a daily driver?
I will have to check details on the Ford Performance set, thanks
True, it had about 1/4 or 3/8ā width tape.
I assumed that having the 4 mounting points would pull it down but between trunk shape and any ABS molding offsets, I guess I could end up where I am.
Maybe this is also what happened with the OPs install?
I just went out and of course its up a tad...
good input.
was your aftermarket one also a GT500 style?
One thing to take in account is that the GT500 has a lot less contact point than the 350 or Drake style.
This alone could make for an easier install as far as adhesion points.
not to thread jack but I am running into the same issueā¦
bought a Drake Muscle Cars spoiler from AM and installed yesterday.
my car came with the small blade style spoiler and in hindsight, when removing the stock spoiler, I didnt cover over the unused holes assuming that new tape around the...
haha. I know
but the install cost is the kicker and not something I want/ can eat twice if I dont like.
I see they are Constant (Linear) typeā¦
My car is more of a daily driver so would I want Linear or Progressive?
I think the 1ā front and back drop sounds good tho.
the 2018 also holds 10qts of oil.
what did the dipstick show?
a low oil could come on even if your oil level is ok, just could be a bad sensor
I seem to notice my fuel injectors more so when I am at a drive thru and it echos off the wall of the building.
Hopefully the dealer tells you its...
Iām not the most experienced person on this forum but I think that sounds pretty normal; kinda sounds like the injectors.
how much oil did you have to add?
how many miles ago was last oil change?
maybe you just never paid attention to the sound before?
I recently had an oil change (every 5k...
came across these on the Holley website.
big savings but couldnāt seem to find anyone that had installed them on an S550 but perhaps 1 review online.
several regarding the brand for old Mustangs and for some Dodge models.
additional 20% off w/ a code too. š

I actually performed this reset myself as well and its super easy.

Also, I bought a couple Faraday bags, off Amazon, to keep our keys in.
This cuts the communication to the car when itās off...
Dielectric grease is a good thing to use if you have keep having contamination on the contacts.
As for looking at the voltagesā¦
I took the advice of others and donāt look at it any longer as it will drive you nuts with how its all over the place.
knock on wood, but I havenāt had any other...
A smart move on your part š
Had I known the car didnt have one, I would have finagled that into the deal on mine.
* my car was purchased from a dealer over 2hrs away and was delivered to me.
good luck with the swap over on the exhaust, I hope it goes well
sounds like it is going to be a busy next couple of weeks.
enjoy family time and have a nice Thanksgiving holiday š
thanks for keeping us updated on this debacle
thank you for mentioning that as it didnt say it on the website.
after looking, based on what you stated, I found this on American Muscle:
Fits 2015-2023 GT, EcoBoost and V6 Mustangs, Excluding Brembo & 67G Package
I assume that means it will fit the 4 piston Brembo stock setup on the GT but...
oh damn⦠wonder if I got the last one in stock?
my order went thru like 20mim ago.
Well, keep an eye out for when back in stock as that was the cheapest place around šš¼
