I'd say that th To me this seems to be what BlueCollar is dealing with. I think you nailed it. Especially since this would most likely be an intermittent tick which BlueCollar's is. Then the question is, does this amount of play lead to premature bearing failure?

I'm in the camp that says the various noises heard are not all related to a single issue. The Gen-3 is built to very tight specs so it doesn't take a lot to upset the proverbial apple cart. Supplier issues, human error, materials defects, etc. can all cause problems. This is common to all auto...

I have a solution for you. Sell. Why do you keep banging your head against the wall?

I had an 86GT and when I sold it with 140,000 miles it never burned any oil and ran like when I bought it with 10,000 miles. Have fun with the mopars. If you think there isn't a mile-long list of mopar issues then you are dreaming.

For those that think people are all good and wouldn't possibly think of vandalizing another persons car, I have 2 reasons that you need to wake up. 1973 Grand Torino Sport in perfect condition parked 20 spaces from the closest car in grocery parking lot. I get back to the car and on the driver's...

Thanks for the many pics and details of your TT build. I think I speak for several when I say we wish we could do all of the custom work that you're able to do. I'm a very capable wrench but fabrication of custom pieces is currently beyond my pay grade. Good luck on the remainder of your project...

Yeah, I think with my brain and not my pecker so no need to be ashamed of driving the A10. I've driven and tracked plenty of Tremecs etc. and I'm thrilled with my '19 GT 10R80. Totally different experience. Still love rowing the gears and will always have a slush-box car in the garage.

One more nagging little detail to consider. Batteries are primarily lithium. The vast majority of lithium is located in South America. The U.S. has relatively little lithium. So, just about the time we've become dependent on lithium, South American countries jack up the prices and we get...

LOL, you forgot wrist pins and valve float... Seriously, I'd like to know what failed to cause the imrc plates to start "flapping".

Concerning the difference in performance that you noted, I wouldn't assume identical configuration. Verify the rear gear ratio to be sure. The 3:55 will be livelier than the 3:15 by some margin. Also I wouldn't assume what type of fuel is in the tank. The only way to be sure is to know what you...

You might consider a can of HEET, or other gas dryer, a few times throughout the winter months. The alcohol attracts water and keeps it from freezing. I'm also a fan of keeping the tank full in winter if possible.

It seems that R&T disagrees with general motors-trend. How ridiculous for MT to not appreciate the Mustang GT more in an era of SUV dominated roads. I'm thankful that I can still buy a great machine like the Mustang!

Not offering an actual fix but I think you are on the right track by using as much data as possible. Data logs, etc. Tell Lund that you need a special case opened so they scour the logs carefully. I've been in the business of mechanical failure(not FI Ford engines) and in my experience 2...

If mechanical sounds make you wonder if your engine has issues I suggest buying a Tesla. That said, Mazman's engine is way not right! It sounds like a team of farriers pounding out horseshoes on their anvils. No way could I live with that. The Gen-3 is a high-compression engine pushed to serious...

Here's my $.02 Not sure why you mention the cost diff since you stated money was no issue. Performance-wise the GT will be just as fast unless you are counting 1/10s at the strip. Even then it would come down to the driver. To get the most out of the GT350 you need to wind that baby out to the...

Pretty obvious that the damage being only on the left front corner doesn't support the liars claim that your son ran the stop sign. Normally the insurance companies come to some agreement on what percent each of the parties were at fault. The fact that Farmers took full responsibility is clear...

I have a '19 GT auto and so far I don't have any harsh shifts from park to drive or reverse. After starting the car I wait a few minutes until the RPMs are under 1000 before taking it out of park. In D mine will give a bit of a surge in 1st and go into 3rd, skipping 2nd under most accelerating...

Thanks for the nice write up. I would add a second vote for the Firestsone Firehawk Indy 500s. I've had them on 2 mustangs and they are a great tire, especially in the wet. Slightly better wear rating than the PS4S. Not an extreme track tire but checks most of the boxes for an excellent road...

I think the biggest factor is the torsen diff in the PP1 car. When making a tight turn going relatively slowly the torsen can get a little weird. Mine does the same as you describe and it's just something you have to deal with. The torsen is basically a racing diff so it doesn't guarantee...

All auto magazine writers are basically jaded after a short while and they decide what blows their skirts up. Generalmotors trend is no exception. To base YOUR car buying decision on their review would be mostly a mistake. I mean how can you figure out what being harsh and bumpy even on smooth...
