That's what happened to me, as well. It's difficult to keep old oil from spilling onto the underbody tray. It stops in a day or two after the spilled oil finally abates.
Alain, just be mindful that almost all dealerships have a policy of installing warrantied parts by utilizing their own technicians. Not saying that you couldn't wheel and deal and get a dealership to take the defective linkage and give you the warrantied new linkage to install yourself, but it...
I have a 2019. No engine issues or oil usage after 6K miles. Given the number of GT350's that have been produced since model year 2016, I think the number of engine failures I have read about on this and other forums (assuming they are accurate) is infinitesimal compared to the number of cars...
I also think the GT350 engine is pretty substantial and reliable. I don't have the production figures for each full model year since 2016, but it's probably similar to the GT500's. In round figures I'd think around 4K cars a year, so that's approximately 16K cars out on the street. Given the oil...
I would be interested in obtaining the rocker arm stripes for my 2019 white GT350. Does anyone know what the part number is for these lower stripes or are they unavailable if you do not have a car with the HEP option?
The fit and finish on Audi's, BMW's and MB's, even on their least expensive models, is usually far and above what we see on current Mustangs. Ours go down the same line as the base Mustangs. I also paid more for my GT350 than the well optioned BMW 340Xi the wife drives, but damn, what a...
Given some of the horror stories on the forums about dealership incompetence, it looks like your dealer is one of the good ones. Dealership service departments sometimes get backed up due to unplanned additional mechanical issues with the cars they service. It happens. Picking you up and or...
Whether its the seat side bolster or the console, it really doesn't matter. I spoke to my SVT technician, who I trust implicitly, and he indicated there was no lateral adjustment for the seat or the console. Our weight on the seat also contributes to the eventual widening of the seat area, as...
Yep my 19 with the up-graded seats has the rubbing issue. I put silicone lubricant on the side of the console and after two weeks, no more squeaking noise. It's not visible and will not damage the material of the seat or the console. Win-win!
In Maryland and most other States there is a percentage of tint darkness allowed. Each State seems to have their own percent degree or number. Most States do not allow any tinting of the front windshield. Police officers are not fond of tinted windows during a traffic stop as it prohibits them...
It makes the car look cool to some owners, but reduces your nighttime visibility. I'm not a fan of it. It is a darkened, plasticized material that is placed on the inside window. It has been popular in southern states with high temperatures and does reduce the heat that is absorbed by the glass...
Good points about warranty concerns. Look, the Ford engineers who designed our engines certainly know what oil is best for these, almost, race engines. They are also keenly aware that they don't want to put an oil in their pride and joy that won't hold up and preserve the longevity of these...
Not to be critical of anyone's opinion, but I think some folks go a bit overboard concerning oil brands to use in our GT350's. I've used Ford recommended oil for all my past Shelbys and other Ford products with absolutely no issues. Don't over-think this subject. I'd change the oil (Mototcraft)...
I think, given the GT350's propensity to tramline, that a 285 N Spec might fit but I think you'd have some serious tramlining issues due to the width of the tire. I went with the 275/40/19 in the front and the tramlining that was present with the stock Cup 2's disappeared.
I'm fairly certain that no Ford dealer will give you the replacement shifter (or parts) to install yourself. I think they are required to do the install at their dealership. Not sure whether this notice results in a whole new shifter mechanism with the faulty part already replaced or if they...
