  3. Ohio * SOLD * 2016 Ecoboost Premium - high highway miles, but LOW price!

    2016 Ford Mustang Ecoboost Premium. Turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with 310HP, but still gets over 33mpg. Automatic with paddle-shifters, leather interior with heated/cooled seats, power everything, Shaker stereo, touchscreen, Bluetooth, completely loaded. 117,000 ALL highway miles, putting...
  4. Highest mileage and longest period with original evaporator core?

    Still knocking on wood, but over 115k miles now with no problems.
  5. Highest mileage ecoboost?

    Still going strong at 115,000 miles. I had to replace some little $40 hose on top of the engine (got a "check engine" light, forget what code), and did replace the front tires and spark plugs at 100k, but everything else runs like the day I got it. Still has the original brakes on it ( ! )...
  6. What’s better octane for an ecoboost?

    Sorry, I spoke too soon: the new giant station at the Sidney exit is a Love's, not a Casey's. I know the one you are talking about. I stopped for gas on my way home yesterday, and there was a 70-cent difference in price per gallon between unleaded and premium. Again, that can really add up...
  7. What’s better octane for an ecoboost?

    I live in the area and commute as well. The only new Casey's I know is the one at the Sidney exit off I-75 - is that the one you are referring to? If so, I have not filled up there - as many on here say, I also only stick to the top tier stations. It is not worth it IMO to save a few cents...
  8. Got a visit from a LEO today about my Mustang

    Living way out in the country FTW. My neighbor (the only one within a one mile radius) and I have a competition to see who can get down the (perfectly flat, level, and straight-as-an-arrow) road to our driveways the fastest. I think my EB barely has him beat at something north of 3x the speed...
  9. Help with Check Engine Code P144c

    Just to bring this topic (for me at least) to a close, I found someone at work who let me borrow his OBDII reader/clearer, and in about 3 minutes (with no instruction or direction) had the code cleared. That was a couple of days ago, and things have been great ever since. For those who may be...
  10. Help with Check Engine Code P144c

    Thanks! Any specific recommendations or links to one of these?
  11. Help with Check Engine Code P144c

    Thank you for the responses folks. I did look at the Amazon link from 'Hinzel' on the OBDLinkMX, and I agree that would probably be overkill for what I need (but nice to have!). Yomamma219, do you have any recommendations for the $20-30 readers? And are these just readers or do they clear...
  12. Help with Check Engine Code P144c

    Yes, I realize I am bringing back a 15+ month old thread, but it is either this or start yet another one on this same topic. Just got the P144C code with the "check engine" light a few weeks ago. 2016 EB with about 92k miles on it, so not too surprised - this is the first issue I have had with...
  13. How did you decide on mustang

    My grandfather bought a 1966 Mustang (brand new) off the showroom floor. He passed it down to my dad, who has passed it on to me. 37,000 original basically one-owner (one-family?) miles. We still have the window sticker. Fast-forward 25 years later when I had graduated college and was in the...
  14. Ecoboost 0-60

    I don't like the shift points on my 6-speed - it holds each gear for too long. Like I said before, my car seems to run out of steam above about 5k RPM, so I like to "force" the shift at a little below that, again, ensuring that I am in the power band of second gear when it shifts. And I have...
  15. Ecoboost 0-60

    With an automatic, and assuming you're controlling the shifts (via the paddles), do not underestimate your shift points: don't run it to redline at each shift. You want to shift at the point where the car will be in the power band of the next higher gear (plus, the engine seems to run out of...
  16. Highest mileage ecoboost?

    I have only owned the car for about 18 months. Bought it with about 35k miles on it. I change the oil and filter(s) regularly, and have done nothing else to the car except new rear tires (this past weekend; fronts will be replaced in a month or two). Looks like I am coming up on a spark plug...
  17. Lug Nuts and Torque Values

    OK, Gorilla it is! Final question: what are the advantages/disadvantages of the Gorilla small diameter vs. stock diameter (other than price)? Are there valid reasons for spending the extra money on the stock diameter? I would like to stay with closed lugs vs. open-ended. If it helps, 95% of...
  18. Lug Nuts and Torque Values

    Thanks everyone - excellent replies! I bought the car used, so there is no telling who did what to the lug nuts before I bought it. A couple of nights ago was the first time I had ever removed a wheel on it (91K miles on the clock; I have a slow leak due to a nail, but it's on the inner...
  19. Highest mileage ecoboost?

    And yes, I did realize that I resurrected a two-year old post....
