  1. S550 2020-2023 Brake fluid sensor recall

    Ford sent a technician to my house today and flashed the BCM for this recall.. Good to go.
  2. Hub and Caliper bolts - One time use bolts?

    I struggle with this concept of torque to yield on the caliper bolts. They are screwed into aluminum hubs, right?... I have the studs and like them. Continuously screwing bolts into aluminum makes me nervous. Too easy to gall the threads; even strip them. Also, changing pads is easy. FWIW
  3. Ford extended warranty questions.

    I renewed my 2020 GT350R earlier this year to a total of 8 years for $3035 through my local Ford dealer. FWIW, Kirby

  6. MMR Engine Block / Bellhousing Braces for Shelby GT350/R 5.2

    Sorry, but I don't understand, if that is a question.
  7. MMR Engine Block / Bellhousing Braces for Shelby GT350/R 5.2

    I did consider that. The hole in the bell housing is much bigger than the slot in the bracket. It'd mean a small bolt in a large hole. A solution I thought about this morning (like you're suggesting) was to make a short bracket extension which bolts to the bell housing hole and then put a bolt...
  8. MMR Engine Block / Bellhousing Braces for Shelby GT350/R 5.2

    Got the Pantera off the lift and put the GT350R back on it to change to track wheels and tires. Here's the pics of the braces installed with my tywrap solutions.
  9. MMR Engine Block / Bellhousing Braces for Shelby GT350/R 5.2

    I knew I should have done that.... but it is off the lift and another car is on the lift. I'll see what I can do in the next few days.
  10. MMR Engine Block / Bellhousing Braces for Shelby GT350/R 5.2

    Replying to my own message... I installed these today. As noted, didn't take long. My only complaint is once these are on, the factory hose and cooling tube mounts no longer fit. I ended up using a small tywrap on the driver's side and a couple through the spare hole on the passenger side for...
  11. MMR Engine Block / Bellhousing Braces for Shelby GT350/R 5.2

    I ordered this kit. Enough mechanical experience in the good old oil field that it seemed reasonable to me. Put the car up on the lift and.... I guess I don't need them! My 2020 GT350R LR217 already has the block modified, as far as I can tell. See the attached pics. I'll donate my kit to my...
  12. On a positive note...

    Yup. That's what we all saw for engine oil temperatures; just slightly over 270. For me, having run in vintage racing for some years, anything below 300F is good.
  13. On a positive note...

    Yes, sir. They mowed the grass. But, it's still a good idea to stay out of the grass!
  14. On a positive note...

    I'll keep it simple. 4 x GT350R's were at the Drivers Edge event at MSR Houston this last weekend. It was HOT! Above 100F both days. Everyone ran all weekend. Nobody had any failures. Oil temps were all nominal. My son and I drove our cars there and back both days. Lots of comments from other...
  15. More Caster?

    I have a friend who has my old 2016 GT350. He's getting on in years and loves the car, but hates it darting all over on the road, even with new Michelin PS4's. Stock caster is 5.81 degrees. My usual solution is add more caster to stop 'tram lining', but is there anything else that can help the...
  16. Let’s See Those Trucks!

    I had a 2001 Lightning. Sold it with 185K miles on it. Ran great and drove great. I pulled an open trailer with my Pantera to Pocono and back from Houston. No problem other than gas mileage.... Pulled a 28' enclosed with it, too. GT40 inside from Houston to Road America and back. In a side wind...

    I sold my 2016. I now have an iconic silver 2020 GT350R. The link above takes you to the pics. Kirby
