If it's not your driveshaft it probably is the transmission. This is a longshot but when you had the MT82 removed and the T56 installed they use different size pilot bearings with the Tremec T56 having a larger diameter input shaft. Could they have removed the old one and forgot to put a new...

I'm about to do my 3rd oil change with the Restore and Protect in my 5.0 with 68K miles on it. I never had any oil usage problems but thought it would be good to use as our piston rings do not have a lot of tension on them, like in the old days, and the R&P is supposed to clean the ring lands...

Lets look at the pricing; GT base- $46,560, GT Premium-$51,080 Dark Horse is $64,080. That's $13K more for the Dark Horse and I really don't think Ford puts in anywhere near that much more in equipment to make that car worth that much more. What I'm trying to point out is that most Mustang...

You can only recoup your losses to a point before you start losing sales. If you studies economics you may be familiar with the term elastic and inelastic demand. To explain it simply; when you raise the price you bring in more money but you loose customers. At some point on the curve of...

Using the logic that Ford doesn't make that much profit on the Dark Horse you would have to ask yourself why complicate the whole production line and logistics channel by producing it?

Here's the problem Ford presents us with. You have the GT or the Dark Horse and nothing in between. Most of us don't need all the options that the Dark Horse offers or the 20 additional HP that you get with it. I remember the days when you could order a Mustang with anything from a 6-cylinder...

Perhaps you can test drive and inspect before you take delivery or pay but from reading about Carvana I did not see how it can be done. Some problems I found with them are: While Carvana offers a 7-day "love it or return it" policy, some customers experience difficulties with the return...

I am extremely happy for anyone who bought a car sight unseen and is happy with it. I have a few rules, however, when buying a car. I will only buy a new car from a dealer, never a used one. I will only buy a car form an individual and he has to be the original owner. I will only buy a car...

I never purchased a car from them and personally I never would. Buying a car you can not inspect and test drive is beyond stupid to me. I'm sure they sell many good products but I'm not going to chance it.

I have been using R&P for about 10K miles now in my Coyote engine that has 78,000 miles. I never burned much oil so I can't say weather it helps or not but with today's piston rings having much less tension that older ones I'm going to continue using it. I would think that you would have to go...

Well I refuse to buy a muscle car that may have been beaten on by someone and they don't make the Mach 1 model anymore. About the only new Mustang I could buy with a Tremec transmission is the Dark Horse, and what they are asking for those is ridiculous. You have to wonder why Ford puts the...

Thanks for the information, that was very helpful. I'm going to abandon that idea as I believe you are correct abut the $15K to $20K cost. I never considered how it may tank the resale value and I'm sure it would. I would buy a new GT if Ford would only give us the option to order one with a...

I have a 2018 GT with the 10 speed automatic, prior to that I had 2 mustangs with the Getrag MT82 6-speeds that I was not enamored with. I was sold a bill of goods by Ford telling me how good the 10R80 is, and it is when it works. The problem is that it has a couple of design flaws and from...

The only option I want in a GT is a Tremec transmission. Ford knows the MT82 is junk and that is why it is not in the Dark Horse, Mack 1, GT350, GT500, etc. A GT with an option to order a 6 speed Tremec would push me into buying a new Mustang to replace my 2018. I'm not going to spend $70K on...

I'm always leery of buying a high performance car from anyone other than the original owner. This car may have been owned by two people who beat the hell out of it. It looks like a nice car and if is still has the powertrain warranty it would make me feel better but you just don't know how it...

I usually want to be correct when I make a statement and I remember reading that too thick an oil cannot get through the small passages in the cam phaser so I went online and checked it out, the answer I got is below. In addition if the oil pressure is higher than what the Engine Control Unit...

I'm no exert on cam phasers but I remember reading, or seeing, that using a thicker oil may affect them negatively as oil pressure operates them. I think the owners manual says that you can use 5W-30 if you are going to race the car but at the next oil change go back to 5W-20. I think that the...

Everyone is going to have their own opinion on this and no one will ever change their mind. In the past I used Mobile 1 full synthetic 5W-20 in my 2018 GT. Recently I changed to Valvoline Restore & Protect 5W-30. My reason for going to R&P is that auto manufactures are using piston rings with...

I don't know the real reason but it seems to me that since cold water sinks putting the transmission fluid at the bottom of the radiator means it will cool the fluid better.

I contacted PML a few weeks ago asking them to produce a pan for the 10R80 that has a stand pipe built into it so it would be much easier to get the correct fluid level in the transmission. I believe the GM 10L80 pans have this and all you have to do is fill the trans up and get it up to...
