Actually its the liability issue, in an accident if its shown that the installation of a sunroof reduced the manufacturers specs, ie: structural, then the installer could be libel. At least here in Ohio its hard to find a installer willing or able to install a sunroof in a lot of cars.
Ha! Ha! Good read, woke me up. Glad at least it ended well without damage. I thought my first oil change was a disaster when I didn't realize how far the oil shoots out horizontally when I pulled the plug with the car on the ramps. Luckily I only dumped about a quart or so on the floor.
Not that it makes it good or bad but to keep in mind Motorcraft oil is a blend. One other place to keep in mind most times and most brands day in and day out I've found Walmart to have the best price especially if you buy it online for pick up in the store.
Try Carid.com, midwestwheelandtire.com, hubcaphaven.com and do a search for oem wheels. These are all recondition or remanufactured with full warranties. I just bought a set of the 19" Luster Silver 5 spoke wheels for $205 each from Carid and they look just like the Ford wheels which were not...
The question is what noise did you have. The common "bbq", "typewritter" tick can be heard underneath or at the wheelwell and it is intermittent with various time between ticks not steady. The other ticking and knocking is steady and louder and can be heard in the engine compartment. From my...
I agree in principle. To clarify my point in reality the odds are stacked in Ford's favor, they have all the data and you have to prove your side first. Ceratec or any additive company is not going to go above and beyond to help you fight your case. Meanwhile you are without your vehicle and...
I disagree. Unless you have the data and take them to court, it is up to you to prove Ford or the dealer wrong. Nowadays even if you have a dealer that works with modders and is realistic if they file a claim with Ford and Ford denies it you are out of luck. Again you have to prove them wrong...
Problem is as far as I know Ford or the supplier have not made any changes to the parts. The few documented short or long block replacements seem to have about the same percentage recurring noise.
One thing to keep in mind if you are solely looking at the ESP due to concerns about the drivetrain. You already have a 5yr/50000 miles warranty for that, spending the money for the ESP only gives you one more year and 10000 miles
I've had my '18 GT with the 10r80 since May '18 and love it. Yes there are some minor issues. In regular drive mode at anything short of full throttle it will skip second and fourth gear by design, at light throttle this gives the impression of slight slippage. In sport mode the gears just...
I wish the B&O system would have been available on my '18. Compared to the Mach system on my '03 the Shaker system is not as good. Yes the subwoofer is better but the adjustments are crappy and the overall sound is not as good unless you like the bone rattling thumping of un-natural bass.
What you're noting are more then one issue. I agree with the "wait till 10,000 miles" for the rattle & tick but would for sure have the dealer look at the CELs, misfires.
The one and very obvious item that seems to always be forgotten in these types of discussions: Any oil or oil filter that is industry rated and meets the specs of the manufacturer, (Ford in this case), is going perform within the parameters which include among others, normal driving, mileage...
Simplest solution is to move the key further away. My fob is on the inside garage wall in the kitchen about 8'-10' away from my '18 GT and the car will not sense it, so no start. I believe the sense range is only 3-5'.
