How To Video
I made a How To for anyone who wants to see the process in full. Super simple. This is for the non-navigation version but it's close enough to the navigation version to get the idea.

I really like the hood, compliments the lines of the car really well, especially from the profile view.
Definitely paying a lot for badging though looking over the entire package.
Has anyone else noticed that if you have a passenger who gets to their door before you to get to yours and you try and unlock via pulling the handle the car won't unlock until they let go?
It's not something that happen very often but it's a minor annoyance to tell whoever to let go of the...
A relay is basically a switch that gets flipped when the coil inside is energized. You use a relay to allow a low voltage/amperage source (such as the voltage from a fuse) to flip a switch (the coil in the relay) that lets a higher amperage device (your fans) get power (from your battery).

Yes.
If you plan on spinning well above the stock limiter they offer some extra security high in the RPM band. Not necessary if you're staying below stock limiter.
Nothing wrong with being concerned about something that seems off on a very expensive new car. I always try and look at stuff like this as a learning opportunity. Be sure to give us an update once she's back together!
I can't 100% tell by watching but is your tensioner even extended? It doesn't look like it is. Did whatever you use to hold the tensioner in break in there without you knowing?
If it is extended and pushing back in something happened for sure.
Regarding bolts for the Boss tensioners I...
I think an important step for us amateur guys that's not listed in the Ford guides posted here is once you have all the timing stuff back in is to do a handful of revolutions by hand before you put the cover back on to make sure nothing is hitting or sounds off. Could save a lot of headache and...
I was intrigued by everything until I saw the price point. I just don't see your market at $600. Anyone that already has Sync 3 will be able to use their Android or Apple phone to do pretty much exactly what this product does by the end of the year. The only people I can see picking this up are...
Got mine in a few days ago and wow what a difference. The wife noticed the smoother shifting and engagements and said so today. I definitely feel more connected with the car than I did before.
Thanks for a great mod!
Love mine. Same system you're looking for. I picked it up from Beef as well. He's a pleasure to do business with and shipping was fast. I hope to add headers myself soon!
I understand the sentiment Charles is going with. In actuality he's right; the majority of people in their 20's can't afford a GT.
The perspective I go with on the matter of treatment by salesmen is the memory factor. That may be more because of how I am individually, but I remember how...
Go to another dealership. I was 29 last year when I bought my GT. Before I ordered I had test driven a GT, GT PP, and an Ecoboost the salesmen pretty much begged me to drive even though I had no interest.
Regarding the price I agree it's too high for a now 2 year old car.

I believe you save more time by taking the 30 seconds to jack up the car instead of going back and forth with your impact and taking in and out the lock key but there isn't necessarily a right or wrong way.
Regarding using an impact and the durability of the...
