  1. Dealer describes "Piston Slap" as a "Normal" characteristic of the 5.0 V8

    Sound anything like this? This is my 16 and it has had the 2k rattle since 500 miles. Its NOT direct injection. Goes away warm. Its been supercharged for 11k miles, and the first 22k NA miles I beet the crap out of it. Ive done compression checks, boroscoped cylinders, and all oil analysis have...
  2. MT82-D4 rebuild thread

    I needed a new clutch for my mustang very early on. I knew I was gonna put a supercharger on eventually so I went with an RXT. My transmission was very noisy and I also have 2k rattle horrible which at one point I thought was the transmission. So While I was doing the clutch I thought putting a...
  3. 2021 Mustang Exterior Door Handle Stuck Closed

    So as long as the door actualy opens, they shouldnt have too break anything to see what is wrong. If the interior handle still works so the door opens, then the panel isn't that bad too pull off and see whats going on with the interior handle and why its not working the door latch. If the door...
  4. Engine noise after OPG + Tentioners. Chain grinding?

    I see you said you replaced the secondary chain and tensioner as well with the primary. Did you release the secondary tensioner correctly? Their is a clip on the secondary tensioner you pull, but the most important thing is to push on the tensioner piston itself to release it from the position...
  5. Engine fuel system issue

    Something easy and simple to try would be a evap purge valve. The purge valve opens when the computer wants the engine to burn the evap fumes from the charcoal canister. When you gas up the tank has to vent fumes as its fills so it vents them through the charcoal canister for emissions. If the...
  6. I DON'T have the tick but I have the 2K Rattle

    I think most peoples 18 and up engine rattles are direct injection. I Think my 16 is piston slap. Before the whipple I had ford pp3 with their tune and intake and rattle was still very well present. I then went Lund tune for pp3 and rattle was the same. Ive tried different oils and weights with...
  7. I DON'T have the tick but I have the 2K Rattle

    My 16 has the 2k rpm rattle and its not direct injected. My rattle goes away when the engine gets really warm. It has almost 30k on it and Ive noticed the rattle at 500 miles ish. It doesnt burn drop of oil, I did compression test at 13k miles and all was good, last 3 oil analysis have come back...

  9. What kind of supercharger should I get?

    This made me laugh cause its kinda what I did. I bought my Whipple stage2 kit from Beefcake during the black Friday sale in 2018. Think it was close to $7500ish. I just installed it myself at the beginning of May. That was alot of time staring at it in my garage. Probably hold the record from...
  10. Surging/Bucking, Cylinder 8 Misfire with P0300 and P0308 Codes

    I think their is a lot on the forums with same codes p0300 and p0308. The codes mean the computer is seeing a random misfire(p0300) and cylinder 8 misfire(p0308). Usually it ends up being the intake manifold causing the problem. The intake manifold has the variable runner flaps that give better...
  11. Whipple Supercharger Pulley Temperature?

    I installed my Whipple stage 2 kit about two weeks ago. I probably have 250 or so miles on it. I'm using a 4" pulley and the 103.3" belt. Anyway after a normal drive without getting into boost, I was checking my bypass valve and accidentally put my forearm on the supercharger pulley and it was...
  12. This just can’t be right... Gear/tranny noise vid.

    My 16 has this noise. Been chasing it for years. Keep updated on what dealer says. Not sure if its the transmission or engine.
  13. Cyl head temp freaking out

    I think its the same on 18's but mine 16 the sensor is located on the back of the passenger side cylinder head under the intake manifold. I just had my transmission out and could see the sensor clear as day. I think at the least the intake manifold has to come off. Check the thread in issues and...
  14. Could the 2018/19 S550 5.0 “rattle” be....

    My 16 has the rattle really bad. I first started noticing it after around 500 miles on it. Starts at 2200 -3000rpm range, and does it on acceleration and deceleration, but worst on deceleration. I remember back in 16 coming onto this forums and searching for noisy lifters thinking the rattle was...
  15. New VMP/Calimer stg1 wont hold 2nd gear

    Purchased a stg1 Calimer mt82 at least 6 months ago, just haven't had a chance to install till this weekend. My original tranny was incredibly noisy and needed a clutch, also had high rpm grind after BG fluid. I'm gonna be doing a Whipple soon so was installing RXT also. Anyway the new tranny...
  16. power packs and 91 gas?

    Your not the only lazy one. I had pp3 in my room for over a year also before I installed it. Now just about a year of driving the pp3 I just received a Whipple stg 2, and now its sitting there. I hope it doesn't take me a year to get around to installing it though...
  17. Loose bolts? Valve cover leak....

    About 2 months ago, my drivers side valve cover started leaking also. Could smell oil burning on my exhaust/converter and was dripping off it. I almost ordered a gasket but checked the bolts first. The back bottom valve cover bolt wasn't even tight, it seemed like it could fall out it was so...
  18. BBQ Tick Solved?

    So the first time I emptied my UPR catch can it had metal in it like the picture. Im pretty sure the metal is from the catch can itself. Probably from machining process. Just didn't clean them that well. By the third time I emptied my UPR can the metal was alot less but still there. I find it...

  20. Just Got Lund Tune Installed

    I have heard a lot of people having issue with the gt350 TB and some tuners. Especially Lund early on. I didn't want to risk having any issues, so just went with the stock. My throttle seems great.
