I know this topic has been directly or tangentially covered in other threads, but I think I might have something substantive to add. Disclaimer: I usually maintain my own vehicles (5, not counting tractors, quads, etc.), but with the dealer's 'free oil changes for life' I decided to cede most...

Apologies if this has been brought up before, but a search showed no relevant threads. I'm going to need a battery swap in the near future and I'd like to preserve all my settings. Can I just jump a 12V in parallel with the cabling while I R&R the battery? Someone mentioned Mustangs have a...

Noticed this today (looked like a butterfly stuck to the rearview housing at first). Looks like a snap-in replacement--if I can find one--but I can't tell if something's damaged inside the housing. Edit: Just learned it's called a 'puddle lamp.' New one on me. Edit2: NM; found this...

What does the hive mind say about the long-term prospects for Coyote engines? I'm not talking outright lemons or failures on the track or from other hard use, but 'normal' driving with occasional mild hooning. I'd like to hear from owners with 100K or more miles on their cars, of any generation...

OK, this is old news--published in 2015--but I just came across it on Netflix (Moderator: delete if inappropriate). It's slow--non-Mustang fans won't like it--but, for all the things that ain't quite perfect in our cars it shows the depth and care that goes into creating them. I'm sure many here...

https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=22V382000 Since it's 5.0 and manual gearboxes most, if not all, Bullitts are affected. I had these symptoms--reported here a couple years ago--but the dealer "couldn't replicate." EDIT: I mis-wrote, it'a a PCM, not ECU issue (but I wouldn't be surprised if...

Anyone know (for sure) what the 'platform' nomenclature means? IIRC, Fox Body was S95 (or something), my '08 Bullitt was an S197, my '19 is an S550 and the next revision looks to be S650. Are the numerals just engineering revisions (which might explain the large gap between S197 and S550)? And...

Recommendations for front sheepskin seat covers? California Car Covers has a set for about $340, but they don't seem to distinguish between regular buckets and Recaros (at least the chat bot doesn't); anyone know of a good source?

I always carry some junk--electric scissor jack, bag of tools (and flares, and chocks, etc.), jumper cables, daily accoutrements, etc.--in my Bullitt's trunk ('Junk in the Trunk'). Of course, with even moderately hard cornering the junk slides around and makes thumps and, potentially could cause...

After installing part of the Steeda 'Stop the Hop' kit, I took my '19 Bullitt in for an alignment. Surprisingly, the rear wheels were in spec but the front wheels were slightly off-spec for toe (this car only has 13K miles on it from new, and I haven't hit anything, well, nothing hard). Anyway...

Got a message in my FordPass the other day that a Sync3 Nav map update is available. The options are: 1) download to a USB, or 2) pay '$40 + shipping' for a USB drive from Ford (shipping cost not stated, but I'd bet it's at least twice what is really costs). The process should be simple...

NFI (well, I did buy 3 tickets; for a good cause, of course): https://shelbyamericancollection.tapkat.org/wina2020ShelbyGT500 CLOSE DATE: Sep 5, 2020 CLOSE TIME: 6:00pm MDT DRAWING DATE: Sep 5, 2020 DRAWING TIME: 7:00pm MDT DRAWING LOCATION: Shelby American Collection, 5020 Chaparral Court...

Seeing the first 'bait' photo I thought "There's gonna be a 2020 Boss?!" https://www.thedrive.com/news/31921/texas-police-department-buys-2020-ford-mustang-with-money-from-speeding-tickets

I rotated my '08 Bullitt's wheels in the 'traditional' fashion (front-to-rear, rears crossover). Obviously, that can't be done with two different wheel/tire sizes; what are you all doing for rotations, if anything? I expect the rears to wear out before the fronts, so replacing just the rears...

This can be taken as both an observation and, potentially, a warning. Now that the landscapers at my mom's house are mostly done producing large clouds of dust, I took the opportunity to wash my Bullitt and my GF's and mom's cars. I wash at my mom's house because she has a water softener...

If you have any older cars, and even if you don't, you've probably heard/seen/read lots of stuff about 'which oil to use.' If so, you've probably come across some somewhat controversial postings, on BobIsTheOilGuy and elsewhere, by a guy that goes by '540 Rat.' He is an engineer and has done...

I've got about 3,500m on my '19 Bullitt, and may have encountered a potential problem: On a hot day--near 100degF--sitting at a couple stoplights, the engine started running noticeably rougher. No movement on the tach--I think the ECU will keep idle steady no matter what it takes--no CEL or...

I've always been a 'handling and cornering' type of driver and, having worked on a few cars and doing a lot of highway driving on remote roads--in a couple old British sports cars no less--I've been really conscious to not manhandle a car or break anything (my '08 Bullitt had the original brakes...

OK, I know there's some Hoosiers on this forum, which one of you guys was it? https://www.thedrive.com/news/27188/police-searching-for-thief-who-stole-ford-mustang-bullitt-by-crashing-through-showroom-doors

Maybe they'll deliver some groceries with it...
