  1. Memory seats

    I've never had a car that lumbar was part of the memory system; it's perfectly normal that they don't. Even the adaptive 18-way seats on the Porsche didn't have it, as well as the ones on the lexus LS. And on a car that doesn't even have power recline, it's almost obvious lumbar wasn't going to...
  2. First Oil Change And The "Tick"

    My car doesn't... so far. And I think the majority of engines don't have it, but we obviously hear the most of those who do. It's an unfortunate case of stacked up tolerances in one or more cylinders, which means Ford doesn't have great tolerances to begin with, but it is what it is. I...
  3. Hood Issue

    That hood would have been an automatic deal-breaker for me, for the simple fact even the stock hood is borderline acceptable IMO. My other car is a Tesla, with fantastic visibility, so every time I jump on the Bullitt, I feel claustrophobic in comparison. The only reason I bought the 2019...
  4. Replacing Sift Knob

    Why both??? You'd only need one of them, if at all. My Bullitt knob is tapered, and the threads are not metal, so there's no need for any of that. You just have to go tighten it, then back off a little (like if you were making a tap), and repeat a few times, and you'd be as tight as you want to...
  5. Bullitt owners - How many are modifying their Bullitt to enhance its performance?

    Me too, so glad I read your post before ordering. I wouldn't mind if the crosshairs are white, but definitely want the black to match the wheels. They should match the stock wheels like an OEM cap would, especially at that price. If they don't, I'd just leave the pony caps alone. Please post...
  6. Tick and rpm skipping? Help!

    Honestly not. That's very weird indeed. Never heard of that until you mentioned it. But the better question is if you feel the engine doing what the needle is indicating, or something else causing just the needle to jump. Can you feel/hear the engine varying rpm along with the needle??? As a...
  7. How to disable SYNC3 speed restricted functions

    Thanks brother. Need treatment again, so we'll see if I make it out of this one. Ha ha. Nobody knows what I have, so I'm getting at the end of the rope. Just need to get the 2nd COVID vaccine (March 29), and wait 2 weeks, before I can start yet again. Oh well. Hope I can last at least one year...
  8. How to disable SYNC3 speed restricted functions

    I don't remember exactly why (5 freaking chemos in 6 years are not good for the memory... or anything else. Ha ha), but I didn't like it. Tried it on my ex-2018 F150 Platinum though, not the Mustang. But should be about the same. The main reason to switch back was the 911 issue, but also...
  9. Removing from storage after 2 years - What maintenance should I do?

    You're lucky your brake system hasn't rusted and failed... which would happen suddenly. Not worth messing with the most important system in a car: the brakes. But to each his own. I live in the desert, so it's less critical, due to low humidity. But I still religiously change brake fluid every 2...
  10. Ford Racing Oil Filter

    Cold (thicker) oil could also be a factor. My guess is if Ford really changed the spec from 8 to 16/17, that's probably why. But yes, with 5K-mile OCIs, there's absolutely no need to try anything else other than OEM, especially when they're so affordable. I've never seen the FL820S filter...
  11. Removing from storage after 2 years - What maintenance should I do?

    Brake fluid should be replaced every 2 years regardless of mileage, so I'd do that too, especially if you haven't changed it before. But other than that, I'd change the oil, and take it easy on the current gas, as stated. And of course check/adjust tire pressures too. Not much needs to be done...
  12. Help! 2020 Mustang GT tick and rpm needle skip

    Both of those videos sound pretty much the same, so guess it sounds louder because you guys recorded the noise right at the engine, where it sounds more subdued with the hood closed. Sounds nasty up close though. But since it's exactly what Ford says it's normal, the only cure is an additive...
  13. Anyone else adding Coolant

    New cars will always have air in the system, so you have to top them off. Mine was below the 'min' line with only 60 miles. Made dealer top it off before I test drove it, and have topped it off twice more in 4,500 miles, but only from the middle (thick) seam to the max line, so not that much. It...
  14. FORScan and vehicle warranty?

    Well, what do you know, my freaking code shows that my EQ is already disabled. Hmmm. It's 0088 B9. The first 2 zeroes mean EQ disabled, right? My car is a 2019 Bullitt, so no different modules, like 2020s. So I guess B&Os already come that way.
  15. Forscan EQ disable issue

    Just back up the modules you plan to change before touching anything, so you can revert back to factory if needed. If you forgot, you can get your full 'as-built' file from this site: https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt . The first time you need to choose 'united states' first. When it...
  16. Tick and rpm skipping? Help!

    Well, it sounds more like an old clunker with 200K miles, than a new 'race engine'. Ha ha. But reportedly that Ceratec additive should quiet it down.
  17. Airbag symbol always on

    Yes, FORScan should give you the code, and hopefully the detailed description as well. Not sure if there's a specific code for each airbag, and each pretensioner. I guess we'll find out with your case :). With so many airbags, the latest being between the front seats, hopefully new codes were...
  18. A-Pillar Clicking Noise

    It's more likely to be your dash, like in my case (sounds like it's the rearview mirror, but it's the center speaker grille against the gauge/vent trim piece, it seems. You can tell by sticking your head forward in there, and it'll be immediately obvious if the noise comes from below or above...
  19. Tick and rpm skipping? Help!

    That's the infamous 'tick', unfortunately. And it's louder than I'd like as well. I was biting my nails when I started my car after changing the oil at 1,128 miles. Ha ha. But fortunately, nothing. But many have started after the 2nd oil change (when basically all factory fill is gone), so still...
  20. How to disable SYNC3 speed restricted functions

    That's exactly what it is. The 5753 code is for the EU (European Union). But it has drawbacks, like no automatic 911 calling (with airbag deployment), nav changes, etc. I tried it, but was annoying, so switched back to stock.
