Good tip. I suggest checking it regularly. Iāve owned my 16 GT350 since brand new. Iāve logged oil consumption over the past 8 years thru 32,000 miles. My so called gen 1 engine started from brand new using about 1 qt of oil (always Motorcraft) every 1,200 miles. This is about average or...
I follow that rule too but not so strictly. Iāts hard to drive in idle for 20 min. waiting for the warmup. That is, once I reach 180 degrees all bets are off. I also check the oil level regularly and top it off to guard against oil deprivation. I think boosting and improper oil level monitoring...
Can you shed light on what did you hear or feel to replace the rear wheel bearings? Did you replace the rear shocks? Iāve had to replace the front magnaride shocks but the rears are still original. Wondering what should I be on the lookout for. Btw my 16 gt350 has only 32,000 miles and runs like...
had the same symptoms after replacement of evaporator and compressor. Turns out it was a faulty schroeder hi low pressure valve which should have been changed after flushing the system.
Replacing the rear set with the OEMās MPSSās 305ās in my ā16 GT350. Available and now on stock at Costco. Would 305ās/35 instead of 295ās for the front set affect tramlining or change the driving dynamics?
Right on! My ā16 is a track pak, which I bought new, just turned 30k miles and runs like a champ. I still have the same fun feeling driving it like no other car Iāve ever owned. Looking for any chance I get to rev it to the limit which is not often. My daily now is the new Mav so I drive the...
For whatās worth the GT350 I ran in track attack in Utah ran consistently at 260 degrees. My 16ā GT350 under hard daily driving in public roads can go up to 240 in hot weather. Most often sits at 220-235.
Same here. My ā16 GT350 with 30k miles had a clunking sound coming from the right passenger side suspension only when turning at low speeds. Fordās dealer replaced the seat spring, the bearings and seal assembly, and the magneride shock which was leaking. The cause was stuck or frozen bearings...
Whatās upsetting is that my dealer probably was clueless about this defect resulting in the wheel not being torqued to spec and coming slightly loose. This forum has helped me twice to diagnose symptoms and problems with the GT350 that the dealer could not solve on its own.
Iām the original owner of a GT350 ā16 trak pak. Things happen to the car over time that thankfully donāt involve a busted engine. Long story short, dealer replaced a front right wheel strut and about a month later I heard a clanking sound from that side of the suspension when cornering at very...
Went over a pothole or some patch of fractured concrete with the front passg tire doing 80 mph in sports mode. At first I didnāt notice any change in the driving dynamics or steering. No change in braking. When I arrived at my destination 40 miles later and as I slowed down to a stop going over...
I would not tune or put a blower on this engine for it voids the warranty and defeats the design.
I have a GT350 2016 track pak with 21k miles stock (except for resonator delete and catch can). Motortrend did a dyno on the car recently and it puts 490 HP to the wheels, which translates to...
GT350 2016 track pak, black roof no stripes, with Signature Performance forged wheels SV102's brushed black tinted with stock MPSS tires, resonator delete Shifteck x-pipe, and JLT catch can. Otherwise, stock. 21,000 miles. Normal oil consumption (1 qt per 1,500 miles). Runs like a champ (after...
Both the filter and my oil sensor in the 16 came loose causing a minor leak. Do post 16 that have canisters do not leak from the oil sensors? Iām confused...
Great advice. Common problem with our cars but potentially disastrous. My 16 GT350 track pack with 20k miles was leaking oil at first because of a poorly tightened oil filter. This happened within 1000 miles after the last oil change. A minor leak continued to appear still after torquing the...
