  1. Engine clicking Gen1 GT350 plz help

    Unfortunately, that sounds just like my engine did one day before the engine blew. It hard a hard time starting, and once started it was running rough and sounded like a diesel engine. The next day the check engine light came on, really started to run rough, and that was it. Engine failure from...
  2. Bad Battery?

    That is fine, and probably the easiest way to do it. Has worked for me for years.
  3. Wiper scratches paint of hood

    It's in the GT350 supplement manual. Maybe this quark with the wipers only applies to GT350's? I don't know. But it's very clear in the GT350 supplement:
  4. What did you do to your GT350 today?

    I see your car is a 2020. Did you ever check it for the "Timing Chain Tensioner" issue for 2020 cars? Hard to tell for sure, but in your picture the timing chain guide looks a little chewed up on the lower left side. It may be just a reflection of light. But in my car, that is what partly caused...
  5. What did you do to your GT350 today?

    That is great for a 3rd party warranty. Do they know what a new long-block engine cost for these cars? Just had mine replaced under original powertrain warranty, and the engine alone was $29K. Then add in all the labor cost. :whew:
  6. What did you do to your GT350 today?

    Them! Once the snow comes, and the salt spreaders and sanders throw all that stuff on the roads, you'll be glad your car isn't being bombarded with rocks and salt.
  7. What did you do to your GT350 today?

    Lol, I simply didn't close the hood all the way, as I was still connecting the battery tender connections. The hood does, and is, fully closed now that the cover is on.
  8. What did you do to your GT350 today?

    Put the car away for the Winter. It stays in my backyard as I have no garage. Stabilizer is put in the gas and run through during one last ride. Tires are inflated to 45psi. Car is driven up on Flatstopper ramps. Steel wool put in exhaust tips to keep out critters, along with poison mouse traps...
  9. What did you do to your GT350 today?

    Brought my car to the detailer to have the hood PPF and ceramic coated after it was replaced by Ford under the corrosion warranty. And while there, the detail shop redid the whole car's ceramic coat under the lifetime guarantee they have when I originally had it ceramic coated in July. Now it's...

  11. Cold weather commuting / oil coolers

    If it's in the 40's, yes, it'll take my car about 30- 45 minutes of driving for the oil temp to get to 180. And it's not just the oil that doesn't get up to temperature. The transmission temp also stays very low, and I find it is a little stiff when shifting. But simply put, with the type of car...
  12. My engine might be shot because of timing chain issue

    While it's too cold now(40 and below) to really take it out on Summer tires, I took it to my detail shop to put the ppf and ceramic coating on the new hood. And while it's there, they said they will redo the ceramic coating on the whole car as part of the lifetime guarantee they gave me on the...
  13. GT350/R Engine Build Date codes

    Just thought I'd add this to the thread. Just got back my car after getting a replacement engine under warranty. The car broke down in NC, and that's where it got fixed.

  14. Can't upload photos

    I tried reducing the file size to about 1mb, and they still won't upload. Btw, I found this only happens on my phone and tablet, which are both Android based. My laptop uploads pictures without problem. And my phone is up to date with updates.
  15. Can't upload photos

    For some reason, I'm not able to upload photos on my posts. When I try, nothing happens. And if I then try to post the reply, I get the message "files are still uploading", but nothing is happening. Anyone else have this problem or know how to resolve it.

  17. My engine might be shot because of timing chain issue

    Car arrived today. It looked good, though very dirty from sitting outside for a month. The only thing is the battery was dead when I tried to restart it after first unloading it. No surprise there as we know these batteries die after about 2-3 weeks of non-use. After jumping it, took it for a...
  18. My engine might be shot because of timing chain issue

    Got word that everything with the car is done. They were waiting for the hood to come in for the last 3 weeks, to replace it under the "hood corrosion" TSB. Then it had to be painted, and the stripe put on. Now they are just waiting to schedule with a car transporter to send it back to me...
  19. TSB for Secondary Cam Chain Tensioner

    If you read through the TSB, it tells you how to check it, and that you have to rotate the crankcase sometimes in order for the tensioner to be fully upright. Also, is the timing chain pressed up against the little black guide on top of the tensioner? Yours looks like it is. Mine never was. Was...
  20. Specific question for parking 2020 Bullitt outside for winter

    My GT350 has been stored outside in my backyard, next to my firewood racks for years, and never a problem. But I've headed off any potential rodent problem by placing poison bait traps all around the area, end of summer/beginning of fall. And keep them out all winter.
