  1. Battery

    Costco interstate comes out to $125ish depending on local tax. Mine lasted just under 5 years for a car that doesn’t get but 2500 miles a year on it. OE Motorcraft lasted almost the same. One thing about the BMS reset, the battery light might not be as bright as you’d expect. At least on my...
  2. S550 seat upholstery differences?

    The illuminated door sill is listed on premium package mustangs from the brochures. The 2018+ cars got a little more stuff with the 201A/401A. And convertibles are a whole different beast.
  3. S550 seat upholstery differences?

    The digital gauges must be an ā€˜18+ thing. 2015-2017 did not get those with 401A. It was just memory seats, Shaker Pro, BLIS, and special ambient lighting. The premier trim was its own special package. I can’t remember if it was $395 or $495. I’d have to dig out my window sticker.
  4. S550 seat upholstery differences?

    For the GT premium (and I think Ecoboost premium ) you got leather trimmed seating which still had some vinyl in it. You had to pay extra for the ā€œPremier Trim With Color Accent Groupā€ to get the fancy stitched stuff.
  5. dealer says the steering rack on my owned-since-new car is second hand: no warranty

    I can’t believe a dealer made a customer walk the yard to prove themselves. What the hell.
  6. If something happened to your S550, would you replace with a Dark Horse?

    I kinda went through this a couple years ago when my wife’s GTI got sandwiched on the interstate. I tried desperately to replace it like for like, as it was a 2018 SE with leather delete. So it had all the Golf R goodies (sans awd) with that sweet plaid interior. I paid $26,500 new in 2018. The...
  7. Looking at buying new tires - Should I change size at all?

    Tire Rack basically showed a decrease in performance when anything other than a factory tire size was used on a factory wheel on a road course. In the end it just really matters how you intend to use it I think. If it’s for looks then have at it. I can’t give any info on drag racing.
  8. Any problems with cooling and front license plate?

    Depends on where OP lives. The last town I lived in the dickhead cop would wait at the only intersection out of town just to continually ticket people for stuff like this. My father in law still lives there and he mentioned they actually had a problem with this deputy giving out too many tickets...
  9. Winter Storage Hood Prop Suggestions/Advice

    See post #5 from Skye. General recommendation is to skip the alligator clips and wire through the fuse block so the battery management system (BMS) is aware. This would provide a better connection and solve your problem of needing the hood open. The hood weight on the 2x4 will probably have...
  10. The electrified Mustang Ford should have made… S550 Mach-E build project

    Obligatory, this reminds me of the Webasto SEMA build in 2019. https://mustangforums.com/articles/mustang-lithium-concept-drivers-ev/ The Vintage Voltage show on Amazon, (they’re a shop based in Wales) they also used Tesla drive units and custom build battery enclosures that utilized some sort...
  11. Ford track pack - NLA or just backordered?

    I’m pretty sure it’s a Steeda thing. Going back in the forums there were a ton of complaints on noise and the minimum drop springs got these isolators sometime in 2024. They aren’t compressed in the picture, but with the car weight on the springs the top two coils touch, and then clang when you...
  12. Ford track pack - NLA or just backordered?

    FYI, make sure your springs come with the rubber sleeves (noise isolators) on the spring, and you push them all the way up the spring so they get squeezed by the top hat and don’t slide down or else your front suspension is going to clank and make a ton of noise. You can see what I mean on my...
  13. Corsa extreme exhaust to loud. Best options to tame it down.

    Depends on what your car came with really. And what your expectations are. You’re not going to have a loud car and please the neighborhood. If it had a factory active exhaust, that’s what I’d look for first. They’re not cheap, but should be able to swap in regardless. Otherwise, ditch the long...
  14. Car Covers

    For a serious answer….. I use CoverCraft fitted covers. Currently I’ve just got one similar to this I use in the heavy pollen season if it’s stored outside, and handles the wind just fine. Can’t say I’m the 10 years I’ve had it has the cover caused specific damage...
  15. Help me choose new suspension

    Before, completely stock non performance pack with 265/35 R20 foundry wheels. Measurements from garage floor to fender as sitting in driver seat: Left Rear: 28 3/8ā€ Left Front: 28ā€ Right Front: 28 1/8ā€ Right Rear: 28 1/8ā€ After a few thousand miles, ford performance race shocks/struts and...
  16. My passenger door glass is trippin'

    I’ve had the issue twice in my 2016, and both times I’ve just cleaned the connector and packed it full of dielectric grease. Everything still works fine and the replacing of the motor just hides the issue until you have water intrusion again. My car is garage kept, but the fix usually lasts...
  17. 🚨 Upgrade Your Drive: 2015–2023 Mustang Sync 4 Touchscreen Available Today! 🚨

    If you have a 2016 MY build with the 8ā€ screen, but without CarPlay/android auto you can just get a new usb port for the center console and update the firmware to activate it. 2015’s are not upgradable though. It’s what I did when I bought mine. I think back then I had to use a Transit USB port...
  18. 2016 GT with 5 previous owners

    As someone from the South East, the Ohio and Pennsylvania registration would be a hard pass for me. If it’s still something you’re interested in, set a low bid if you can’t see it in person before the auction. It does look like it was serviced regularly by at least one of the previous owners...
  19. summer only tires in cold weather

    Every set of Nittos I’ve seen crack. Pirellis held up fine, but were certainly greasy under 45f. Honestly, there’s a huge difference in traction from 60f-40f for a summer tire. I’ve done it, but I HATE doing it. The car just does not drive the same. And forget about it when it’s damp too. 555...
  20. Front license plate

    In my manual for the 2016 MY Ford discloses the Mustang is rated to tow 1,000 lbs. You just have to mount your own hitch. It’s what you do for Hot Rod Drag Week or Sick Week too. Gotta carry your own tools and parts.
