I can't believe you'd let someone drive your car. A car is generally the second most expensive thing most people buy, right behind their house. NOBODY drives my car ... except I did let the wife drive it once while I was in the car, since she asked. If I have service done at the dealership, I...

Bought mine April 2019 and have 7,400 miles, all fun miles. Hope to have it a long time!

They sell oilers at any good hardware store. You push it into the ball and squeeze in a few shots. But, like said above, I usually just add oil into the air inlet. So far, that has worked for 25+ years with no issue.

Automotive batteries SHOULD put out about 12.6 volts when fully charged and should charge at anywhere from 13.7 - 14.7 volts. You cannot charge a 12.6-volt battery with 12.6 volts ... it has a to be a small bit more but, any higher than that (say 16 volts) will likely boil your battery fluid...

I have to laugh at part of post #4. My 1967 Plymouth GTX Hemi ran the quarter mile in 12.6 seconds as soon as I add some UNiroyal Tiger Paws tires. They were soft and would leave a trail of rubber wherever you cornered, but they DID stick pretty well for the day.

First, 2000W at 3.5 volts is 148.+ amps, but that's not battery voltage, that's battery charging voltage. You cannot listen to even 100 amps of continuous power in a car or you'd be deaf. You're looking at peak power only. If you are mainly doing light dance music or voice, generally recommend...

I wish it came with a spare tire. My 2019 is a PP1 and it didn't have a spare, which rose up and bit me one day. I ran over a bolt thrown from a vehicle in front and it wasn't the kind of hole you can repair, so the stupid air compressor was useless. An aftermarket spare, which I have now, was...

When I was street riding and anywhere near an urban area, I kept my head on a swivel, one finger on the clutch, two on the front brake ... and pretended I was invisible. Worked for me for more than 30 years on the street.

There used to be an unwritten rule for large-displacement motorcycles ... if you just rolled on the gas, it wouldn't come over on you. With newer technology-engines, that just isn't the case anymore. To me, it looks like he fanned the clutch and didn't expect full traction ... self-inflicted...

Went to Greek Mythology for mine. Xanthos (or Xanthus, depending on the reference) was one of the immortal horses that drew Achilles chariot in the Trojan War. The "golden Steed." Also, Xanthos was the only horse granted the power of speech by Hera. When Achilles rebuked Xanthos for allowing...

Anybody in here from California have a programmer? Do you recommend it? Not really looking to change much, but I WOULD like to reprogram the speedo so it;s accurate. I changed stock tire sizes and would like to correct that. I went from 275/40R-19 rears to 285/35-19 all around for a square...

Guys, if I take mine in, I specify no road test or the service is free. The service manager tried to give me crap and I told him the car was mine, not his. It's paid for. my property. If he elected to not help with no road test, I wanted Western Ford Rep on the line with him. He signed the...

Hi RasJeremy, I like Hawk pads, but they make dust. Ceramics don't tend to make a lot of dust, but also sometimes don't stop as hard with stock rotors ... depends on the pads and rotors. It's a choice. I tend to go with Hawks or something similar (Akebonos or StopTechs) and, if I need discs, I...

These cars have 10 quarts of oil in them for a 305 cubic inch engine. Most big V8's have 4 quarts. If it's a bit low ... it doesn't matter much as long as you can see the oil on the dipstick. That said, I always check my dipstick before driving away from an oil change and keep it topped in...

What brake pads are recommended? I searched and didn't find much.

2019 GT Premium, 6-speed. 7,100 miles and I have an indication of "Exhaust Mode Selection Not Available." Ford has an exhaust valve on order. If that ever happens again, I'll have them delete the exhaust valve and turn off the warning light. Only other thing is that very occasionally, when I...

Hi, My car is a 2019 Mustang GT. The rider's side has no hand holds, grab hooks, or any way at all for the passenger to hold on when the driver is having fun cornering. Is anyone in here aware of any Ford or aftermarket add-on fixed or folding grab handles that can be installed to give a...

Voice -activated? No way. I can see it now. Rolling down the road and some singer in a rock and Roll band sings "reverse" that matches YOUR voice. Instant one-car accident. All we need is something like primary drive in out car that can be hacked in the middle of nowhere. I'll pass.

A 1/2" impact will do it since it can apply more than 150 ft-lbs. A 1/4" impact will not do it. I have both a DeWalt and a Milwaukee. Both are rated at 150 ft-lbs and will not break the lugs loose and, yes, I used a torque wrench to tighten them. I use them to run the lugs on and off in the...

You also missed my story about my old Camaro SS with a Zexel-Torsen differential. The SS Owner's Association found out that Torsen diffs didn't take much diametrical mismatch before costing you a good chunk of change. Do it at the risk of your own wallet.
