I'm not sure I'd make that guess. In that reference, the algorithm is being used to determine if the sensor is malfunctioning. I don't think that necessarily makes a statement one way or the other. It's possible that after some extended period of time using the algorithm to backcheck a...

I'm saying that any discrete sensor value you assign to temperature in a dynamic system is at best a representation of the temperature at that single point (subject to the accuracy and repeatability of the sensor) and may be less representative of the overall engine situation than a calculated...

True enough. I do have the GT350 gauge set installed in mine though, and it scales from 100F to 350 F in 50F increments. As I don't track my car, I've never seen it much above 200. I use it more as a "if it's still under 150, don't hammer on it" reminder, to make sure things are running at...

I don't think this argument has the legs people seem to give it. The oil termperature on the bus is calculated by looking at a variety of conditions around the engine as opposed to calculating it by measuring the voltage at a general use sensor stuck in a single point in the oil system. I...

I was going in the same direction until I came across an interview with one of Ford's designers talking about how much effort they had to put into the PP1 spoiler to keep it aerodynamically "neutral". It's not bad looking, but without it the profile harks back to my 1970 Mach 1.

That car is a dead ringer for mine, except I deleted the rear spoiler. And mine has a 6MT. Just about every other available option other than the Recaros though, and only 34000 miles. And it's staying in my driveway.

I think it's going to be a while, especially on FB marketplace. It's a 10-year-old car with 83k and an aftermarket supercharger where you're asking more than half of what I paid for my all-the-toys mt-82 2019 GT when it was new. From what I've seen, except on enthusiast sites any...

The pump is pretty nice. I've used it a few times when changing tire sets in the fall / spring to top up the pressure the tires have lost while in storage. But, as noted, I would never use the sealer.

I would never use the sealant, even if I hadn't purchased a spare. If the leak is bad enough that using the pump every half hour or so won't keep you going, the sealant likely won't help much, if at all. Past that, it gums up the TPMS system in a lot of cases.

The post above has the correct directions to get rid of the message. The message has nothing to do with your cracked rim, however. It's telling you that the sealant in your pump kit has expired.

What saved you was the inflation, not the goop. You can use the pump without the sealant.

Or you can just toss the goop (which is likely going to f*** up the inside of your tire and TPMS), reset the display, and if you have a leak use the pump a time or two to get you where you can get it fixed. Any leak fast enough to go dead in under 20 miles or so isn't going to be stopped by...

^This^ Hold the accelerator to the floor and crank it for 10 to 15 seconds, then quickly release the accelerator and it should be fine.

I bought mine new with the intent of keeping it for a long time. It's still quite healthy, but I have some notable concerns. The problem with longevity on these cars is going to be the electronics and related communications wiring. Back in the day, engines were run by easily replicable...

So, the equivalent of $34,500 to $40,100 today. A base EcoBoost starts at $32,600 today, and that has the upgrades from the higher end one from '87. It also would likely run rings around an '87 GT. True. Then again, 99% of the people buying for the extra performance add-ons from the DH to...

I'm confused. Am I supposed to be ignoring the people complaining about necroposts or the necroposter complaining about the anti-necroposters?

Sounds right. As noted by G.T., the large overlap between the S550 and S650 will stretch the transition out. The Internet is forever !

It wouldn't be voided per se. Rather, any damage or failure that Ford could claim was related to the headers would not be covered.

Pshaw. Wrote it myself. Granted it was just over 7 years ago and it was when I was on the BMW forums, but it still holds. My original post here: https://www.bimmerfest.com/posts/12818847/
