  1. Head Gasket Issues

    I had a similar experience when I took mine in the first time. I had initially went in stating that the coolant level was low, and that the car would smoke on startup maybe once every 3 starts or so. I understand if they couldn't immediately replicate that, and to be fair it was late Jan or...
  2. Head Gasket Issues

    I have a post on here about my head gasket from almost three years ago. I didn't notice any coolant loss until it started smoking on startup at 60k miles. I diagnosed it with a boroscope and mine was leaking into cylinder 4. I'd like to think that I caught it fairly early, but I don't have a...
  3. Dealer/mechanic recommendations near Gainesville - Evaporator core replacement

    Hi, as the title suggests, my evaporator core is leaking and needs replacement. I took the car to Santa Fe Ford in Alachua and was quoted $2,700 after diagnosis. Does anyone know of a good dealership or independent mechanic in the area that does good work? I'd like to call around to see if I can...
  4. Cooling Fans Not Working?

    Looking at the PIDs in my 2016 EB, it seems like it's a dual-speed fan setup with a low/high speed mode for the fans. Low speed = one fan on, and high speed = both fans on. The service manual talks a bit about this and confirms that the EB fan connecters are the relay-controlled type as well and...
  5. Experience with Motor Mount Replacement

    I haven't had any experience replacing them on my own, but I found the official Ford procedure for both driver and passenger side mounts that suggests using an engine support bar that you place across the top of the motor similar to a strut tower brace. I think you could probably achieve the...
  6. TPS voltage Value

    No problem. This is from a factory service manual I got off of eBay.
  7. TPS voltage Value

    I found some info in the 2016 MY service manual for the typical TPS signal voltages. See below. Hopefully this is helpful
  8. Let's talk about chair pad mod

    I had to remove and then replace the recirculation hose when I installed my intercooler and charge pipes. Silicone spray can be useful in getting tight hoses and/or clamps off and it doesn't harm the hoses.
  9. Is my engine leaking oil?!

    My 2016 had the same issue, although it was a smaller leak than the one in your picture. I had the head gasket replaced in Feb and at the same time the dealership re-sealed the timing cover with RTV. Haven't seen any issues in a few thousand miles since.
  10. Creaking sound (video attached)

    I figured out that my issue was the back seat latches. I found out when I had the seats down, the sound would go away. I applied a bit of grease to the latch and lubricated the hinge and it's been quiet since then. It really sounded like it was from the suspension, but I'm thinking that it was...
  11. 2.3L Cylinder Head Back-order

    I went through a warranty issue on my head gasket recently back in Feb at a major volume dealership. It was before the quarantine started, but it took about 5 weeks total. One week was spent getting to my car (they were backlogged), one week was spent getting approval from Ford to do a teardown...
  12. Blown head gasket in my 2016 Ecoboost

    No kidding - the thing that upset me the most about the first time I brought it in was that the smoking at startup was minor, and was really only present after the car had reached full operating temperature and had cooled overnight or several hours, so a pressure test of the cooling system...
  13. Blown head gasket in my 2016 Ecoboost

    https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/posts/2808555/ I had also posted this in the thread I linked above in the "Issues, TSB, & Warranty" section. TL : DR of the updates in that thread is that I ended up taking it back to the dealer with pics from my boroscope camera confirming coolant in the...
  14. Custom gauges in PP slots

    Very helpful, that's just what I was looking for, thanks
  15. Custom gauges in PP slots

    Does anyone know if it's possible to install custom gauges in the PP gauge cutouts? I was thinking about a couple of ideas to add a real (not inferred) oil temp and/or pressure gauge, possibly some other gauge, and I'm not sure I like the options we have for gauge pods. I really only see...
  16. Possible head gasket issue, dealer cannot diagnose

    No prob, i haven't seen anything in my research about the Coyote having a lot of examples of head gasket issues. But when I started looking into the EB platform, it seems like there are some known problems, but I'm not sure about the frequency that they occur. There's the well-known Focus RS...
  17. Possible head gasket issue, dealer cannot diagnose

    Update as of today (3/4/20) I picked up the car this morning. Looks like it got a new head gasket and associated hardware. They also changed the coolant, one spark plug, and the oil/filter, which I would've expected. Based on the ticket, it looks like they actually pressure tested the cooling...
  18. Possible head gasket issue, dealer cannot diagnose

    I called the dealership today and they mentioned several parts were going to be replaced and were on order. The service advisor mentioned specifically that the head would be replaced as well as I believe something to do with the high pressure fuel pump (not sure what that has to do with my...
  19. Possible head gasket issue, dealer cannot diagnose

    No, I didn't see any discolored fluid or residue. The fluid looked orange and I couldn't smell any oil in it. I took a picture of the reservoir when I brought it back from the dealership the first time they looked at it. They topped off the fluid and seemed to have overfilled it, but then again...
  20. Possible head gasket issue, dealer cannot diagnose

    Update as of last week: I took it back to the dealership and spoke with the service manager and that they would be glad to take another look. I was assigned to a service advisor who was pretty helpful and I sent him the pictures and video of cylinder 4. They put me in a loaner F-150 and started...
