Speaking of unique exhaust sound, anyone heard of 180 degree headers.
The very reason I had to have a fpc GT350 when they came out. (I needed to get the entire Real Thing)
I had been utilizing just a portion on the 180 degree setup for some 30 years on my stock cars... (180 degree headers)

Several reasons for using the 40 series tire
1. Same exact circumference as 35 series OEM originals

3. Great in the rain
4. No tramlining
5. Still able to utilize a 10" wide wheel
6. Longer (By a Lot) tread life...
Just realized I hadn’t written-up my tire/wheel change experience (occurred several months ago)
Here’s my slightly different Florida Street Driven approach to Tires/Wheels for my 2016 GT350.
This may be of some value for a “Winter” tire/wheel package for owners in the northern states.

I did exactly this, GT350R springs on my GT350, (Only the fronts though)
For my 2016 GT350 I was looking for a little stiffer front springs, and to lower the front of the car slightly, Maybe 1/2"
I did a lot of research on this and discovered the perfect solution for me was to replace the front...
I thought I might add a little info on this subject as I have done 6 or 7, S550 IRS axle overhauls recently, (Ring & Pinions, Differentials, and Housings)
I have replaced the halfshaft pilot bearings and seals several times, in both the cast iron housings as well as the aluminum housings.

Hood Ajar Switch
The hood ajar switch is a single pole switch (integrated into the hood latch) that is normally closed when the hood
is closed. When the hood is opened, the hood ajar switch opens to indicate an open hood.
The BCM sends a signal to the hood ajar switch, and based on the input...
Mike,
My GT350 is a 2016 (Doesn't have the: blind spot detection) Honestly I have not heard of that problem before. What the heck...
I have had both 4.11, and 4.56 in my car with absolutely no problems throwing codes. I too could change the Gear Ratio setting in the BCM with Forscan, but did...
I have always been able to tap the new pinion flange on far enough to reach the threads, allowing me to draw the flange the rest of the way with the pinion nut.
I use an old pinion nut to draw tight, then replace with New pinion nut with silicone sealer around bottom for final tightening.

No,
Although,
The production date can be found on a copy of the Window Sticker, (Obtained from Ford), usually in more than one place.
It is located at the very top, just above the word 'BLEND'.
And on the very bottom, (as shown)
The Actual window sticker that comes on the car itself, doesn't...
The car above was built on July 31, 2019

On the oil drip,
From experience, depending on how careful one was changing the oil filter, some oil could be spilled on top of the belly pan.
I had this happen and for a few days I saw drops of oil on my garage floor. No leaks just oil that was dripping from belly pan.
Probably should look at...
No issues,
They are very flexible to work with, you can slightly adjust each separately if needed, side to side.
I was happy and surprised as well as the cost was the same as a rental.
I purchased these to change my front springs and they worked perfectly.
Also not very expensive...
