i bought my first, and last new ford when i bought my 2019 mustang gt in october of 2018. it wasn't ticking when new and i was sold something that wasn't to be. It started to tick 200 miles later. Ford's labeling it normal is bogus and unethical. You buy a performance car for the visual and...

i have the exact same thing going on in my 2019 pp1 with auto. dealer/lead tech finally said these are noisy engines and if it gets worse bring it in. i am not pushing it because a new engine would probably due the same thing. if ford did a buyback, i would probably do that and go back to...

IMHO the mustang requires a color that pops. VB pops. Grabber blue pops. Red pops. Black/silver/grey don't really pop. though silver shows the body lines nicely. white pops. as a VB owner i am biased to VB. I think it looks the best of all the colors in any lighting situation. seems...

i just started using sport mode in my 2019 pp1. i have had the car now going on 6 months and have 2000 miles on her so i don't drive it alot. The few times i did use them, it confused me. though i confuse easily. the confusion comes from me not knowing how to get it back in auto. seems...

what that means to him is to break it in gently/per the manual up to the 1000 miles mark but then drive it good and hard after- he said that if the rings don't seat properly, these engines will burn oil. so running hard after the 1000 miles break-in, helps seats the rings.... i won't lie, i...

the lead tech at my dealer stated "these engines are meant to be revved and driven, not grandma'ed.".. i am going to just send it.

i love them!! i like contrasts when it comes to colors and all black seems too plain to be so i went with black around the outside and light grey inside with half-piping. gives it that racecar look and that custom look imho.

so i believe- the manually mentions only checking the level while hot- meaning 15 minutes after engine turned off once it hits running temp- ~200F. with that said, the holes/dots represent the min and max marks. The hash is not mentioned. if i were to guess, i would guess like others here...

the tech also told me that if you don't drive these 5.0's right, you can not seat the rings and then you will have oil consumption. driving right means driving like it's designed. high revs etc etc...

LOL. drove it back to the dealer, they added 1/2 quart. their tech lead drove with me and said they have heard these noises (typewriter tick and my rattle) on other 5.0's and not sure why. could be the gdi/fi switching etc. anyhow, i asked him what chance i have of getting a scored cylinder...

so i spoke with the service writer. he wants his 5 stars. he offered to get it towed back. i am going back over there to have them check/add to the oil. he said it won't cause a problem being 1/2 quart low and driving the 10 miles back there. so i will be back over there over lunch today and...

soooooo, i am livid. i wasn't livid when they called me later today stating that the tick is "normal" and attached an ssm or whatever it's called to my paperwork stating it's normal. even though this is my first oil change. 1950 miles or so. i wasn'teven livid when they said the 3k rpm rattle...

paranoia or not. i'd rather the dealer document the tick and rattle and look at the oil coming out of it rather than i doing it and telling them there are metal particles in the oil. at least this way, they can't say anything about me doing the oil change and losing the evidence, if there is...

yeah, made an appointment for oil change- first 3 free- and for the noises for next week.

so my 2019 gt auto pp1 has less than 2000 miles on it and i have the typewriter tick like alot of people but i also noticed a 3000 rpm and higher rattle while in sport mode. I can reproduce it by using the paddle shifters and keeping it around 3k rpm. i also noticed it sometimes around 2500...

So i have one of those 15 quart collection plastic pans that i use for my other cars with no issues but they don't have 10 quarts gushing out all at once. I am not 100% sure it will work with the new style draining...

if they had something like this color on the lot, i would have gone for it. but i love my velocity blue...

i have always had a manual vehicle as one of my rides. that changed when i bought my 2019 gt pp1 with a10 in october as i traded my manual 4x4 jeep in on the stang. I chose the automatic for a few reasons: 1) tiny engines with no HP require a stick imho to make the car get out of it's own...

i once again confirmed the above. stone cold level since parked last night, exactly the same as far as my eyes can tell to 15 minutes after running it up to temp. i wish the manual would have stated that you can check it hot after 15 minutes or cold. personally, i always check it before a...

so i did a little experiment tonight- i checked the oil cold as in sitting a day or 2 in the garage before starting engine. it read a hair below the 1/2 mark in between min/max. it was close enough to a a 1/2 to call it that imho. i then drove the stang 8 miles, and the engine oil temp gauge...
