  1. Recall (22S37) for Reverse Camera, etc - Repair at Home

    This is new to me, the Ford dealer will send a technician to my home to reflash the PCM with the update. I was wary of taking the car to the dealer because: I didn't want to wait there for hours; and I didn't want them driving it. Win, win! Although the dealer has a Ford Garage bar nextdoor...
  2. Transmission and Diff Oil Change

    Engine oil is easy, pour in 10 quarts, done! MT-82 is not so easy: draining is ok, filling port is difficult to get to, not much chance of getting a torque wrench on the plug. Ford calls for 2.7 quart of oil but that much was low on the 10 mm gauge I made, it took about another 5 ounces to...
  3. Farley racing a Mustang

    I saw it myself at Daytona today.
  4. Read Maximum RPM from OBD2 or?

    I am hoping to find the maximum RPM (and temperature) reached by my car. I tried OBD2 reader and Forscan but could not find the information. I suspect Ford logs this data somewhere but maybe it is not recorded. Any ideas?
  5. Some reflections on TrackNight at Daytona - August 4th

    I have run on a number of tracks although it has been years since (with cars and bikes) but never one with high banking so Daytona was high on the wish list. The banking is unnerving at first and takes some getting used to. Daytona in August is hot. I live here so I already knew that but I...
  6. GoPro Settings

    I did a track day last year and was not completely happy with the GoPro 8 settings: in particular the stabilization was on and the field of view would move around in response to the G forces, not always centered on the view through the windshield. The exposure (with spot metering) was good and...
  7. GoPro Mount for Track Day

    I looked for something like this but found nothing so here is mine. I want a GoPro mount for a track day, one that will record from close to my point of view. A headrest mount seemed like the best way to go but they are either $$$, look flimsy, not available, or had too many bad reviews...
  8. FL-500-S Changed ?

    I bought a FL-500S (from Walmart) and found it did not fit my filter wrench (OEMtools 25400 A). The previous two filters fit ok, 30 flutes. The new filter dimensions check ok, the box and filter look good, no printing issues so I doubt it is counterfeit BUT it has 14 flutes instead of the...
  9. Alignment guage

    This is my homemade alignment tool. The plastic pieces adjust to touch the edges of the wheel. Camber is easy, just read the display. Toe is more difficult, the laser must be aligned precisely with the level. I shimmed the plastic pieces so the laser is accurate to 1/8" at 30' (all the...
  10. Is the '19 MT-82 and shifter that much improved?

    As my '19 was being built I read plenty of threads about shifters and concluded that my first mod would be a Blowfish bracket ($) or MGW shifter ($$). I only have about 250 miles on the car but so far the shifter has been better than expected. I have (only) taken it to about 6000 rpm so far...
  11. $100 for a Jack ?

    When I bought the Automotive Authority spare tire I didn't buy the full kit because I figured $100 for a jack and lug wrench was a bit steep. Then I found that even online Ford wants $100+ for their scissors jack. Does anyone have a jack they recommend and does it fit under the spare tire...
  12. Can't set ambient color in daytime

    This is the message I kept getting when trying to set ambient color: there is nothing in the manual regarding that error message. What it means (and should note) is that the headlights have to be on to set ambient color. Ford: is it so difficult to actually try these settings and write the...
  13. Battery Temp Sensor or Current Sensor ?

    Looking under the hood of my new GT I noticed a sensor (with no connector plugged into it) on the passenger side, circling one of the main cables going to./from the fuse box. Ford Parts lists it as a "Sensor - BT4Z-14B357-B" in the electrical - battery section. Does anyone else have this and...
  14. Height of GT with PP1

    I have a 2019 GT with PP1 on order, my parking space for it is "height limited". The specifications for a fastback show 54.3" height, is the PP1 any lower at all?
