  1. What handling mods for street driving on a stock S550

    Glad to see a V6 with 120K on the clock. My 2016 has 47K. Not sure how you are optioned, mine is an 051A (fogs, 6-way dr seat, 18s w/Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrics) and 3.55 diff. Four years ago, I replaced the tires with Michelin Pilot Sport AS 4s. They stop faster, turn quicker, and cornering...
  2. Horn Sensitivity

    I have 2016 as well, and the horn has always been touchy. Occasionally it'll work with a tap, but most of the time it takes a hard push, then you end up blaring-and it's loud. So I only use it in emergency. I never tried touching different areas, have to check it out
  3. Wheel nut issues

    :wink:If they are the same OEM 2 pc ones that were put on earlier S550s, give 'em time, lol. If they don't fall off, they'll need to be cut off. Mine were fine with monthly car washes and twice-yearly tire rotation for the first 3 years, then the inner nut swelled, and outer casing separated...
  4. Wheel nut issues

    My bad! I just glanced at the link, should've made sure it was the right one. The Gorillas on mine are definitely for OEM, and as far as I know, they still do make them. There sure is a market. Not that it means much, but the Ford Techs who service my car liked em enough to recommend them to...
  5. Wheel nut issues

    @Nitrousfedlx OEM, those are the Gorillas on my wheels . If you have aftermarket, they will help you find the right fitment. Not sure if the ones I linked to are the right ones, and they have black as well.

    I agree with Gorilla- I replaced my OEM ones, love them, no problems since. Gorilla 41148HT Mustang Lug Nut Kit Small Diameter 15-24 (cjponyparts.com)
  7. Engine splash guard help

    I don't know if it's apples and oranges thing, but after the air dam part of my splash guard on my 2016 was torn off, I started getting a lot of hood flutter at 70+ (live in southwest, so 75 and 80 mph are posted speeds. ahem). As a matter of fact, the hood flutter started after straddling a...
  8. Not driving much - oil change?

    My 2016 that I bought new just turned over 44000 miles, so ~ 58-5900 miles a year. It's a DD with short trips and a monthly highway blast. The first 5 years I had a 4-mile commute each way to work. That means it barely warmed in the winter, and a/c never got to cool it in the summer. We see...
  9. Road Trip out West

    I took a road trip from Las Vegas to central NYS. I went I-11, 1-40 and then the turnpikes in Oklahoma and Missouri and NE from there. It sounds like you may be going on I-40. If so, you will find that a plowed field is smoother than some of it, lol. I found if you hit the right speed, you can...
  10. Slight grinding noise....

    You might want to check before you eliminate -to my knowledge all S550s have a limited slip differential, my 2016 V6 definitely does. It'll be a Traction-Lok. This is from my owners' manual: HTH
  11. Gas Petal Stopped Working On Freeway 10r80

    Can't help you with exact problem, but maybe this will give you a bump so someone with more knowledge can help. If that wrench light comes on, and gas pedal doesn't work, the computer put you in limp mode. It'll idle, maybe move slowly to get off the road. Restarting it reset whatever fault...
  12. Top speed limited to 125mph?

    Was responding to a comment re V6 and base EB. To my knowledge you are totally correct that GTs are limited to 155 and Mach 1s are 168. As my last line says " OP-apologies, I don't know why you are limited that low, you'd think even a non-PP GT should have a higher limit. Sorry, my writing can...
  13. Hood moves around alot above 100 mph

    Soooo...??? Did it flutter...? 😁
  14. Top speed limited to 125mph?

    Enjoy your GT! They are a blast. Just one point- I think you'll find the S550 V6s didn't have drive shaft problems, the S197 V6s did. That being said, they are limited to 125, but I believe it's brakes, suspension and, in some cases, tires. The base EB is limited around there, too, but if it's...
