Finally got around to installing some parts I had been accumulating. Caliperfexion studs, replaced pads with GLOC GS-1 (street car only for me, thanks @NPTR !), and bled the brakes. Nice couple hours in the garage. Roughened up the discs with rough emory cloth and bedded the new pads. Brakes...

PM incoming for GS-1 pads

Mine does this as well. It reminds me of a car with a really lightweight flywheel (I know ours are not lightweight). If I use a little more revs, it doesn't shudder - not sure if yours is behaving this way or not. My symptoms match yours - only happens when hot and clutch holds power fine. I've...

What did the ticket cost? I've been pulled over for no front plate, but never received a ticket. I was under the potentially incorrect impression that there was no actual penalty for omitting a front plate in TX. Been pulled over by city, county, and state highway patrol - but no fine for...

Yeah, there are UV wafers added to the system at the factory that dissolve. You should be able to use a UV light to snoop around the engine bay. Good luck hunting - hoping it isn't your evaporator!

I'll sheepishly admit to removing my dash to get access to the evaporator.....only to discover that the leak was in the engine bay and the refrigerant smell was making it's way in the cabin. I would exhaust all of your leak detection efforts in the engine bay before jumping to the evaporator...

Those are fighting words right there. Pie is obviously superior. :crackup:

My car is a leaf vacuum right now too!! Beautiful pics and color.

My 2016 also had the smaller battery (390), but I think Ford started putting slightly larger batteries in them at some point. I remember some discussion in the past regarding final destination being a factor (i.e., larger batteries installed in cars destined for colder climates) - but not sure...

Yeah, for swapping out the compressor you will also need to replace the one-time use studs that hold the compressor to the engine block, probably a new stretch belt, I'd replace the drier (accumulator), the expansion valve, you'll need compressor oil, refrigerant, and a vacuum pump to pull a...

I sent you a DM offer. I understand if you're holding out for full asking price 👍. Thanks

$1088 for just the compressor? RockAuto has the motorcraft compressor, stated as compatible for the GT350, for $475. You might cross-reference the Ford OEM part to the Motorcraft part to see if you can save $600. Maybe the $1088 includes lines, dryer, condenser, etc.? MOTORCRAFT YCC551...

@Shaneflay - did removal/reinstall fix your issues? Looking to buy/install an MGW soon and this thread caught my interest.

I have no personal experience with aftermarket headers, clutches, or motor mounts on my gt350 - but during a 2017 IMSA race at COTA, I discussed the switch from the flat plane 5.2L to a cross plane engine with the factory supported race team (note they won the class with the 5.2L flat plane in...

Just FYI - Ford adds UV dye wafers in the system at the factory. When you run the A/C, it will dissolve them and distribute the dye. If you have a leak, you should be able to use a black light in a dark garage and find it.....unless it's the evaporator. I tried to find the condensate drip line...

Lotto ticket time for sure! I helped my brother-in-law replace plugs on his 5.4L F-150, and we broke the first few using hand tools......but then we got impatient and used an impact wrench to remove the remaining 5 plugs. I thought it was a really bad idea, but none of the plugs we removed...

I've never done that on a car engine, but I may have ruined a brand-new Briggs engine for a lawnmower that way :crackup: Won't do that again!

I agree with just letting the level be if it is between the holes. When I first bought mine in 2016, I used to fret about trying to keep oil at the top hole. Car consumed oil at just less than the acceptable rate per Ford. Re-read the manual section you posted above and decided to try and let...

Thanks for posting that!! I forgot to respond back to this thread since I ended up not having to pull the climate control housing/evaporator out. Never ended up confirming or denying the drain location. I'm sure your post will help others troubleshooting their A/C!

My GT350 must be super special. It has a fancy rubber thingy on the prop rod so I don't burn my hand when I use it. :cwl: All jokes aside, I really like the jacking rails and I'm sure I would own hood struts if I ever saw some in person. :thumbsup:
