Steeda has nice booted and greaseable rod ends and I installed them on my son's lowered GT and my Mach 1. I was lucky I didn't rip off the wiring of my Magneride shocks with the bulky rod ends so I replaced them with Cortex, non greaseable but thin profile rod-ends and overall a high quality...
Does this procedure work with the OEM cooler pump circuit? I jumpered out the thermal switch connector on my Mach 1 but the pump won't activate, all I get is the over temperature warning.
I installed a KPM pump but I haven't approached my local dealer, yet, about submitting a claim. Ford has such high warranty costs and recall costs they have been making it difficult for dealerships to get authorization/reimbursement on legitimate claims in an effort to save money.
I just completed my first differential oil change on my 2022 Mach 1 and I used a jumper wire on the thermal switch connector to cycle the oil cooler pump but nothing happens except an instrument panel warning to reduce speed. I've seen video's where this simple hack (I don't have ForScan) is...
I run a square setup of 315s on Apex 11.5" E56 wheels with a 35mm front spacer. The Mach 1 fender lip hides front poke and the rears have plenty of space to go even wider.
The Morimoto headlights should give you the most noticeable improvement. The auxiliary lights only supplement what your headlights provide, if you stay within SAE/DOT compliance. I haven't driven in conditions bad enough to see the impact of the single SS3 Max fog light but that single light...
So sorry for the paperwork disaster, your Ford dealer really dropped the ball. I live in Michigan but bought a Subaru in Illinois and drove home with a temporary Illinois license plate. I received a large envelop, two weeks later from the Subaru Dealer, with all the piles of paperwork needed...
Lighting upgrades are expensive but if you do much night driving, it's worth it and I'd do it again. Fog beams don't have much throw, so the wide sharp pattern is only good for cutting through the fog or lighting up the critters on the side of the road. The driving beams supplement the High...
Morimoto has an established track record but they discontinued their original 2018-2023 replacement LED lights so I went Alpharex (actually a gift from my son.) The Alpharex perform better than stock but I don't know how they compare with the recently updated Morimoto S650 style lights. I...
I didn't want false detonation issues if the left side pipe hit the frame rail so I added a flat as it was almost touching once I centered the engine on the mounts for best clearance on both sides. The engine torque reaction rocks upward on the left side so you might not need the flat but with...
I did a trial fit by mounting both headers with a few conventional nuts on a few studs with the old OEM gaskets to find where interference concerns were before the final mounting with new studs, gaskets and lock nuts. Bolts would have been easier to assemble but I've had better results with...
More details? - collector position and coupling method, header flange -slotted holes vs round holes, O2 sensor location, plus any other unique features. Name brand headers usually have a welded name tag on one of the primary tubes. Chinese knock-offs won't. (even when they're made in the same...
The Performance Pack/Brembo master cylinder has the incrementally larger piston bore (theoretically increased pedal effort) and matched booster, but I still have a hard time adjusting to such sensitive pedal force that feels overboosted for street use. The Ford performance GT350 swap kit is a...
Is the S650 rear Brembo brake system significantly better than the GT350 system? If the electric E-Brake adaption works, I'm all in for converting my Mach 1.
Any idea if the McLeod bell housing line connector with the bleeder valve would help? It doesn't have the built-in "peak torque limiter valve" orifice so I'm thinking of using it to prevent any chance of delayed engagement during track events. I'm preparing to install a divorced reservoir and...
Sorry I don't remember all the details of installing Speed Engineering headers on my son's car, but that stud was not a problem. (I used new OEM studs, lock nuts, and gaskets for a leak-free and secure mounting.) I removed the battery tray, body bracing, fender liners, etc for maximum...
