  1. Ford 5.0 Oil Drain Plug Design Change

    I have the old style plug and replace the O rings about ever 3rd oil change. I measured one of the rings and ordered a paage of 10 from a company online, they work fine. It looks like the new ones are a different size or I would give you the information to order a package.
  2. S550 starter replacement with 10R80 auto

    I'm about to install a new starter in my 2018 GT with an automatic transmission. This starter has 2 bolts, one on the front that is easy to get to and one that you have to access from the rear, which you can't see as it is on top. (The bolt comes in from the rear and actually screws into...
  3. What is a good set of replacement coils?

    You need someone that has a scan tool that costs thousands of dollars and can look at the spark on each individual cylinder, not one that gives you a code.
  4. Blew up my gen3 motor and don’t know where to go from here

    Too late for this advise but for anyone else out there that can't afford to drop a new engine in their car I suggest you don't mod your engine and then run it hard until you have problems.
  5. What is a good set of replacement coils?

    Has any of the dealerships you have visited hooked up a good scan tool to see what is going on when out for a test drive. If you are losing power they should be able to see a no spark condition on the offending cylinders if that is the problem.
  6. What is a good set of replacement coils?

    You are going to need the one that has the wire on it if your car is set up the same as mine. I believe the high pressure fuel pump would interfere with the coil mounting directly over the plug and that is why it is offset with the wire going to the plug. Even if that is not true you can not...
  7. sound tube delete

    I did mine 8 years ago and I don't remember having any trouble doing it. I didn't buy any delete kit, as I remember I purchased some stool end rubber caps, at Walmart or Home Depot, that slide over where the hose connected; about $3 for 4. On the firewall I may have used black duct tape and...
  8. What is a good set of replacement coils?

    Seems strange that you only feel the miss at a certain RPM, could you be experiencing torque converter shudder?
  9. misfire cyl 4 and 2 after oil pump gear job on gen 3

    The last time I did a timing chain it was on a 327 Chevy engine but it's not the chain you have to adjust its putting the gears in the proper position and then installing the chain, perhaps that is what you mean but wanted to clarify that. Now it my opinion if the other side is timed correctly...
  10. Cannot get my 2018 GT to smog - NORCAL

    I watched an interesting video on testing 02 sensors. This may not be your problem but this is the type of testing you should be getting done by someone that knows what they are doing and with the equipment this guy has.
  11. Cannot get my 2018 GT to smog - NORCAL

    Here is what I found when I Googled your problem. Hope this helps. Yes, an O2 sensor showing as "not ready" simply means the vehicle's onboard computer hasn't finished its self-tests. It does not necessarily mean the sensor is broken, but it will prevent the car from passing an emissions...
  12. misfire cyl 4 and 2 after oil pump gear job on gen 3

    If you messed up the chain by a tooth it seems to me that all cylinders would be affected. Are you getting any codes or are you just guessing it is cylinders 2 & 4 that are missing? Before I tore the whole thing apart again I would take it to a shop with a really good scan tool that can tell...
  13. Rear end whining.

    Isn''t our drivetrain under warranty for 5 years or 50K miles, if it is take it to the dealer.
  14. Be careful where you buy your gas from!

    As of early 2026, BP and Amoco gasoline are not officially listed as a Top Tier™ licensed brand, having been removed from the official Top Tier list in late 2021. However, BP claims its gasoline with Invigorate® additives continues to exceed Top Tier minimum detergency standards. [1, 2, 3, 4]...
  15. Is upgrading from a 2019 auto 5.0 to a manual mach 1 worth the price difference?

    I'm in the same boat with you, I'm sick of my 10-speed and want a manual. I had two Mustangs with the MT82 transmission and will never get another Mustang unless it has a Tremec trans. $15 to $20 grand is a lot to spend but if you have the cash, and can find a good Mach 1, I would consider it...
  16. Looking at C8 Corvettes, and I just... can't... Is it just me or do others view them the same?

    I think you are either a Corvette guy or not one. I'm not one and never had a desire for one. To me they are just a little too pretentious. I believe the C8 is a good car and a great value bit it's just not for me.
  17. Trans oil change

    The first time I changed my transmission fluid and filter I called the local Ford dealer to get a price for what they would charge to do it. The service advisor told me that they only do flushes with a machine that pumps new in as old comes out. Ii explained to him that I wanted the pan...
  18. Lean code both banks after clutch replacement HELP

    Watch the video I have linked below. According to this guy anything between plus or minus 3 is ok. I have not looked up the codes you are seeing but if they are for a lean condition, and you fuel trim is only around 1, you have to ask yourself why you are getting lean codes and the fuel trim...
  19. Lean code both banks after clutch replacement HELP

    Yes it may be lean despite the car adding fuel but how do you know that without looking at the fuel trim numbers? Depending on if the car is adding fuel, or not adding fuel, you may have different pats to follow. If it is adding fuel you may have a vacuum leak. If it is not adding fuel, and...
  20. Lean code both banks after clutch replacement HELP

    Do you have a scan tool which will show you your long and short term fuel trim? I'm no exert on this but I would think if the codes were correct you should see the computer adding fuel. Fuel trims are percentages showing how the Engine Control Module (ECM) adjusts fuel delivery (adding or...
