Man, that’s a total bummer! Do you think it was the heat that killed the alternator?

Thanks honeybadger. This pretty much answers my question. Continue using a chock it is! Thanks everyone!

General practice on most cars is to use a wheel chock or a 2x4 right after coming off a track session to prevent rotor damage with a parking brake. I’m not sure whether ours are similar to other cars (ours have drum brakes in the rear for the parking brake), but would that result in any damage...

Awesome! I’ve never heard of this site. Thanks for the heads-up! Time to order some pads.

Where do you guys buy oem brembo brake pads for the gt350? Just your local dealer or is there a better site to get them from?

I’m running oem 5-50 motor craft. I don’t remember the CHT or intake numbers. I just remember my transmission and axle temps staying relatively cool.

This. I was mostly in 2 & 3 pretty close to redline at most times for both gears. I’m pretty new at tracking. My times are pretty slow (average around 1:35)

Duuude...I didn’t know such things existed for the general consumer. I’m gonna have to link into these!

Gonna have to disagree here. Was at streets of willow the other day with 108°+ weather. Car went into limp mode a few times during the track sessions.

Oops. I don’t think the link was posted

That’s crazy! Got any links to this cool shirt system?

Awesome. Thanks Spacebird! Heck, I believe the air temp reached 110° at one point I was out there. Later that evening, when air temps dropped to about 96°, I noticed my oil didn’t reach 300°

It was streets of willow. I noticed the temps dropping when I shifted at lower rpms. I went about 2 laps shifting earlier. This dropped the temps back down to about 260.

Hi folks, Trying to get a general consensus here as to whether there’s something wrong with my ‘18 gt350 or whether the norm. My car is completely stock. Ambient temps were a blistering 108°+ that day. After about 4 laps, the oil temp gauge was pushing 300° and went into limp a couple times...

Ahh. Thanks for the clarification. So that’s what limp mode feels like

I hear yah, Fred! Not ideal conditions at all. I think I’m gonna end up with a heat stroke. Lol.

Hey guys, I’m currently racing at Streets of Willow. The current temp is 108°. My car would hit 300° in just a few laps. Is there something wrong with my car or are those oil temps normal for this kind of weather. It didn’t go into limp mode, but noticed a drastic reduction in power once it...

Good luck with gt350 parts. My car sat at the dealer shop for 5 months waiting for Ford Performance to produce more parts.

I’m wondering whether ordering a whole new transmission comes with the bell housing or not. I mean, I’m not going to complain. I wonder if the original bell housing was just defective

Thanks YoungGT18. I’ll ask the dealer whether they can help nudge ford to do the right thing.
