  1. Cannot get my 2018 GT to smog - NORCAL

    Here is what I found when I Googled your problem. Hope this helps. Yes, an O2 sensor showing as "not ready" simply means the vehicle's onboard computer hasn't finished its self-tests. It does not necessarily mean the sensor is broken, but it will prevent the car from passing an emissions...
  2. misfire cyl 4 and 2 after oil pump gear job on gen 3

    If you messed up the chain by a tooth it seems to me that all cylinders would be affected. Are you getting any codes or are you just guessing it is cylinders 2 & 4 that are missing? Before I tore the whole thing apart again I would take it to a shop with a really good scan tool that can tell...
  3. Rear end whining.

    Isn''t our drivetrain under warranty for 5 years or 50K miles, if it is take it to the dealer.
  4. Be careful where you buy your gas from!

    As of early 2026, BP and Amoco gasoline are not officially listed as a Top Tier™ licensed brand, having been removed from the official Top Tier list in late 2021. However, BP claims its gasoline with Invigorate® additives continues to exceed Top Tier minimum detergency standards. [1, 2, 3, 4]...
  5. Is upgrading from a 2019 auto 5.0 to a manual mach 1 worth the price difference?

    I'm in the same boat with you, I'm sick of my 10-speed and want a manual. I had two Mustangs with the MT82 transmission and will never get another Mustang unless it has a Tremec trans. $15 to $20 grand is a lot to spend but if you have the cash, and can find a good Mach 1, I would consider it...
  6. Looking at C8 Corvettes, and I just... can't... Is it just me or do others view them the same?

    I think you are either a Corvette guy or not one. I'm not one and never had a desire for one. To me they are just a little too pretentious. I believe the C8 is a good car and a great value bit it's just not for me.
  7. Trans oil change

    The first time I changed my transmission fluid and filter I called the local Ford dealer to get a price for what they would charge to do it. The service advisor told me that they only do flushes with a machine that pumps new in as old comes out. Ii explained to him that I wanted the pan...
  8. Lean code both banks after clutch replacement HELP

    Watch the video I have linked below. According to this guy anything between plus or minus 3 is ok. I have not looked up the codes you are seeing but if they are for a lean condition, and you fuel trim is only around 1, you have to ask yourself why you are getting lean codes and the fuel trim...
  9. Lean code both banks after clutch replacement HELP

    Yes it may be lean despite the car adding fuel but how do you know that without looking at the fuel trim numbers? Depending on if the car is adding fuel, or not adding fuel, you may have different pats to follow. If it is adding fuel you may have a vacuum leak. If it is not adding fuel, and...
  10. Lean code both banks after clutch replacement HELP

    Do you have a scan tool which will show you your long and short term fuel trim? I'm no exert on this but I would think if the codes were correct you should see the computer adding fuel. Fuel trims are percentages showing how the Engine Control Module (ECM) adjusts fuel delivery (adding or...
  11. 2017 GT350R spark plug change

    I changed mine at about 60K miles and they still looked good. I think it's a good idea to change them after 5 years, no matter what the mileage, just to ensure that they are not getting seized into the head, although this may not be a valid concern anymore. Make sure you read the information...
  12. Cold start oil pressure psi gauge

    I have a 2018 and when I first start it I believe it goes over 40PSI but I have not paid much attention lately, I just remember thinking that it really goes high on cold starts. I have almost 70K miles on mine and have not had any oil consumption problems out of the ordinary. If I had to guess...
  13. Trans oil change

    The damn car manufactures save $5 by not putting a dipstick tube under the hood where we can check it and fill it from. I don't know what year that started but it was the beginning of the end of making it easy for customers.
  14. Trans oil change

    Exactly, just turn it around and pump out of the new trans fluid into the trans. I would pump a little clean fluid through it first to wash it out.
  15. Trans oil change

    I purchased the ARMINE MADE OIL PUMP. It was $23, looks and feels cheap but it worked. You will have to extend the power leads as they will not reach the car battery. I ordered 7 quarts from the dealer at about $9 per quart, I suggest using OEM ford Mercon ULV. I did not use it all and I...
  16. Should I build my MT82 or go automatic?

    If the GT had a Tremec transmission if would be just about perfect. Ford, give me the option to order a Tremec in the GT and I will go out and buy a new one tomorrow. I don't need everything that comes with a Dark Horse just to get a Tremec. Until you give me that option I'm not buying...
  17. Trans oil change

    In my humble opinion the best time to do the first change is pretty early on to get any metal out of the trans as the filter will not get small particles. The filter should be done at the same time. I did mine at 40K if I remember correctly and again around 60K. The price of rebuilding one of...
  18. Trans oil change

    At 40K miles I dropped the pan and replaced the filter and fluid, pain in the ass. At 65K I drained the fluid by sucking it out with a pump I bought off of Amazon and then reversed the operation and pumped in the same amount that came out. If they are doing a good job for $166 that is a...
  19. Push to Start - Occasional Fails to Turn over

    I have a 2018 GT PP1 also (10 speed auto) and it seems like my start button is a little touchy. It always starts but sometimes it takes a second before it starts to crank and seems to crank slow at first then kick in. I have checked all my grounds and positive cables and nothing appears to be...
  20. plastic oil pan

    I have a 2018 GT and have used the same drain plug but purchased some O-rings to replace the one on the factory plug. I have been using them since 2020 and have never had any problem with leaks from the plug. I purchased them from globalindustrial.com Inventory stock # B2272251 OR USE THIS...
