Wow, that's weird! I have a 2019 with almost the same mileage. Never experienced that problem. I did replace the battery about 8 months ago, as the car displayed the usual electrical anomalies that are common when it starts going bad. I really have no other ideas! I've never read of your issues...

Not a bit. The engine is flawless. I think much of this criticism of the 5.2 is a bit overblown. We see people posting about engine problems on this forum which have validity; however, I think the majority of GT350s are rolling along just fine and there are tons of GT350 owners that do not...

I have 25K on my 2019, bought new, GT350. No oil usage between oil changes and engine is perfect.

Okay folks, I've did some research on our OEM batteries. About a month ago, my 2019 GT350 with 22K on the clock failed to start. The battery was DOA and needed to be replaced, per my SVT Ford technician. It was about 3.5 years old. I was curious as to why this OEM battery failed in such a short...

There is something to be said for a run-flat tire in the situation described by the OP and his subsequent loss of control. My wife's BMW has run-flats on it and she had a catastrophic loss of tire pressure from hitting something similar to a railroad spike at highway speed. The BMW maintained...

So sorry to hear of your plight! Mine is an early production 2019 and I've got 21K miles on it with no engine issues, The valve issues seem sporadic with the 2019, and more often, 2020 engines. Regardless, I'm glad to see you are getting a replacement engine and you'll be on the road soon! Maybe...

I have the MPSS in factory sizes and put them on in late April. My 2019 had the tramlining Cup 2's which had phenomenal traction but a low tread wear figure and tramlined on the lousy Md. roads. I'm very pleased with the MPSS's and they perform well in dry and wet conditions. Be patient and wait...

This was my 10th year attending. I drove my 2019 GT350 from Md. Went to the track day with a close friend running a new CFTP GT500. He's known as Shelbyflyer on facebook etc. Road with him in advanced class. The course is difficult and presents more elevation changes than Nürburgring! I was...

There are about 30 of us from the FordGT500 forum that go every year and just have a blast. Just a wonderful and warm group of car people that enjoy the cars and long-time friendships! Look us up at the Courtyard by Marriott motel. We'll be the ones who are laughing a lot!

Ha Ha! Nope! It has 6 flat surfaces that match the 6 flat surfaces on the factory lug nut! Hence, it's a 6 point socket. At least that's what it says on the manufacturer's packet! It's a 21 mm socket.

Just a heads up, if there are not enough participants for both days, Kyle Caraway ( Shelbyfest founder) will push it to one day, Friday, 05/06/2022. I've gone to every Shelbyfest since 2014 and it is a blast!

AS Tom advises, use the right socket!! Many people will use a multi-toothed generic socket with disastrous results. Use a good quality "6 sided", deep well socket and you will be fine. Remember the torque requirement for the GT350 and 350R lugs is 150 pound feet.

Nice when we help one another!

This thread read like "War & Peace" but I'm glad to see you are "finally" enjoying a satisfactory resolution! My 2019 has been flawless over the last 16K miles and after reading your post, I feel so fortunate! Enjoy your car now and best of luck in the future!

Agreed. The thermostat would be my first, and easiest, replacement to address the problem.

Temperature gauge going bad, or dead short somewhere in the electrical connection? It seems intermittent via your description. Sticking thermostat? Just spit balling for you.

You're kind of between a rock and a hard place! There definitely could be a part failure within the clutch system that would be covered under warranty, but the dealership has to tear into it to determine if that's the issue. If it's the result of abuse or wear, then they might not cover it under...

I've followed this same thought process on my past 3 GT500's and my current 19 GT350. Dip sticks on our cars are historically not terribly accurate. I drained my oil at 1000 miles, followed the number of quarts required per the manual, and followed the "checking oil level" procedures in the...

Just to let everyone know, I received the oil filter guide from Pilotgore, yesterday, and it will eliminate the oil filter leakage into the belly pan when changing it. The receipt of the guide and payment process went perfectly. I highly recommend Pilotgore's guide and his trustworthiness in...

Can't change the cluster color on GT350.
