Alright so I have the factory active on my 20 GT. I did a res delete h pipe back in May. Loved the sound, still like it a lot…. but it’s not as inspiring as it once was. I drive around in track mode everyday without fail just to have that sound im looking for. I’m thinking of MBRP Race Catback...

My dealer doesn’t react at all…. What they don’t know won’t break their heart.

Ah I see. I’ll give it a few more days to see what’s what. Thanks for the input!

But in that case, would the smell be isolated to only 1 wheel well? I popped the hood and couldn’t find any trace of it.

One time thing so far.

I’ll try a small incline later. Of note, I haven’t really noticed it since. I was on the brakes a lot that morning because the roads were soaked, so yea I may have been riding them.

Yea I’m leaning heavily towards that being the issue. I didn’t notice the smell on the drive home. Checked the dipstick and the oil looked and smelled normal at the appropriate level. Does only the caliper have to be replaced or is there more (or less) involved?

I wouldn’t put it past myself to have not clicked the dipstick in to place when I hurriedly checked the oil a few days ago, so I’ll definitely check that before I leave work.

To my untrained nose, it smelled like oil. But, it doesn’t really make sense for the smell to be oil if it’s only coming from a wheel well, right?

Hey yall, I need your mechanically inclined thoughts. I noticed this morning a burning smell coming from my front driver side wheel well, after a 35 minute drive. At first I smelled it when I rolled down the window to badge into the parking garage, and I thought either me or somebody else is...

Not gonna lie, I’ve had this exact fear with my car almost since I bought it. The trans is what I have least faith in. Unfortunately, I have no valuable insight to provide. I’m just sorry you’re caught in such a mess. I hope things workout for the best.

Geez I hate you had to go through that. They pull out all the stops to avoid accountability. I could promise the dealers and Ford just hate us all.

DISCLAIMER: I’m not a gear head so don’t clown me for this but…. would higher displacement get us there? A 6.0L Mustang would be a true menace!

I’d be 38 hot if mine were making that sound. Did they ever determine what caused it?

This may not be helpful for you, but my 10 speed has about 36k miles. I bought it at 28k. I think it was low on fluid when I got it. It’s been wonky and weird since I’ve had it, complete with every complaint lodged against the 10 speed and an added bonus of doing this jarring pop/bang on startup...

I’m gonna take my A10 in to try and rule out mechanical issues again, but if there’s nothing mechanically wrong, I’m doing what you did. I’m sick of this thing “learning” to chew itself up and drive like a clunker.

I hear what you're saying, but just like Jstang said, Ceratec shuts the tick up. Even if the tick is not indicative of a problem, its irritating and sounds like your late model $40,000 car is a lemon. If anything, Ford needs to investigate why adding the Ceratec quiets a supposed "normal...

This dealer offers the Works package too, and that's what I usually do. I'll stick with it. By chance, have you opted to use the full-synthetic Motorcraft oil when you take yours in?

Yep I do a tire rotation with every oil change on my vehicles! Lord knows I don't want to buy tires more often than necessary!

Nah I've got a square set up. 255s all around.
