It's only a nut on the ball joint end and a bolt on the other but realistically it was a little bit of a pain. If I'm remembering correctly I had to jack up the steering knuckle some because the sag put it in a bind making it difficult to remove the large bolt. After about an hour or hour and...
Same thing happened to me on my GT. It was my front left control arm. I found the problem by jacking the car up and using a pry bar. Found play in the ball joint of the control arm.
I only have experience with the Livernois flex fuel tune but I've been very happy with it. When I was looking for a tune there were several I was interested in. I went with the flex fuel tune for the same reasons you listed. I like that I can see the ethanol content on the device and I just...
The dash and panels are not real leather. You can use any automovite interior cleaner and be fine. Chemical Guys has a Total Interior Cleaner that works well and you can use it on anything inside of the car. Makes it simple.
I've never seen a cut one that didn't look weird and out of place. IMO it looks better with the cover off. Cut or not, it's an awful looking engine cover!
Also, I think the low end torque is way more noticeable on full E. 3k RPM and under. I came from 392 Hemi's before this car and that was one thing I think the 5.0 is missing. A lot of low end grunt. E85 brings that feeling to my car at least.
Ideally you'd want to test it when you're filling up so you're not going to the station and buying a punt of fuel. The tuner will show E content as well. It's under Data Logging then guages. You may have to add what you want to that screen but E content will be shown under "PM"
I've put 70k on my gen3. Zero issues other than adding around a quart of oil in between oil changes. It's tuned and been running E85 for over a year. In my experience it's a great motor.
I can tell a difference in my MPG after installing the FP Swing and gurney flap on my car! It dropped 1 or 2 MPGs. I can also feel more drag on the interstate at high speeds. It is the best looking spoiler on a Mustang though!
I think if you're comparing the HHP to a base GT, the GT will be cheaper but the 2 with the same options, the GT with the Performance Pack will be thousands more. With the HHP over the base GT you get a lot of features the base GT won't have. The HPP will be lighter and more fuel efficient. So...
With the rear calipers looking so ordinary on the GT's I personally don't like them painted. Kinda reminds me when the red Brembos were starting to become popular on certain cars and people began painting calipers red on anything and everything without Brembos.
For me it's just a car. I love it and take care of it but it's my daily. Rain, snow, shine, I drive it. It makes driving to and from work fun. It makes weekends fun. Makes vacations to places we drive and not fly to fun. When I wear it out I'll get something else.
Brembos are notorious for this. It's normal. My SRT Chargers did this. My GT does this. If you clean them it'll go away for a while. It has to be dust build up. A different kind of pad may help but I've always ran OEM pads.
