  1. Wheel socket

    I have the Steelman set from Tire Rack. It's nicely made and comes in a tough little case for the sockets.
  2. Buying new car cash: Dealer wants a credit check/financing application?

    Nonsense. And I'd add that if they're willing to feed you that line of horsecrap they will be running more than one application - they're probably working with half a dozen finance companies and you will get multiple inquiries on your credit. They're supposed to count as only one inquiry if...
  3. Sport Mode Went Into Manual by Itself

    Felt like driving in sport mode on the highway. Shifted into sport while getting on the on-ramp and started to floor it. Car went into redline territory - at least 6500. I did NOT use the paddles. I thought the car was supposed to stay in automatic until you use the paddles. I put it back...
  4. LED Map light install - broken dome light housing tab (ugh)

    OK because I'm a masochist I went ahead and bought the Diode Dynamics kit for our '18, in spite of the many horror stories here and elsewhere online. Tried the lens method and got the passenger bulb in. Hope it's in there good enough that it doesn't pop out... Driver's bulb pushed through...
  5. Boosted and InterChillin'

    OK. I'm at the point where I tried following Diode Dynamics' instructions, which were not really helpful. I somehow got the passenger side map light in, but I did indeed push the driver side socket too hard and it is now buried in the housing. Then I watched the CJ Pony Parts video, which...
  6. Automatic passenger door unlock

    Resurrecting this thread. I found this by searching because our '18 is doing the same thing. Driver door opens fine. Passenger completely non-responsive. Car has indeed been sitting in semi-storage for the past few months. Only driven once or twice a week and I am periodically getting the...
  7. TSB 19-2026: Aluminum Panel Corrosion

    Our 18 does not have PPF. Bubbling started in the past few weeks. However, it is not on the leading edge like most people. It is in multiple places on the edge facing the windshield. Looks like it started on the underside of the hood and is now wrapping around the edge and almost to the...
  8. Is your 350 rotting before your very eyes, like mine?

    I'm afraid to ask...noticed this today on the windshield-facing edge of the hood while driving our 2018. Looks eerily similar to pictures in this thread. May I assume this is the beginning of the same type of rot so many others have experienced? This car is garaged and hand-washed/waxed.
  9. So long ugly yellow labels...

    I'm planning on going one step further - having the whole visor recovered in Orange checkerboard fabric to match the Orange Fury paint.
  10. Faint whining noise from the back at highway speeds...

    Having a very similar problem right now with our 18 A10 Ecoboost. Faint but consistent cyclical whirring at speeds above 35 or so. Slightly more prominent when stepping on the gas. Coming out of the right rear. At Ford right now. Brought the car in first thing in the morning and within the...
  11. Let's discuss windshield wipers

    Agreed. I was washing the car the other day, lifted the driver's side wiper up to clean under there, and the whole freaking thing came off the wiper arm when I accidentally grazed it. WTF Bosch?
  12. Problem with passenger window - 2017 Mustang Convertible

    That was the part the dealer replaced on mine. Passenger side - FR3Z-9923394-B
  13. Problem with passenger window - 2017 Mustang Convertible

    Extended warranty is going to cover it. Part is supposedly about $150 and about an hour labor so if self-paying about $250.
  14. Problem with passenger window - 2017 Mustang Convertible

    Having the same issue right now. Dealer is going to replace the window motor and, I assume, the connector. I have no warning lights popping up on the dash.
  15. Dealership Trust

    I just brought ours into a chain place for an oil change. The last time I got "the works" packages - on our two different cars at two different dealers, they both "forgot" to rotate the tires. And it took all freaking day. And the Mustang had a "bit" of oil dripped on the engine cover...So I...
  16. Tire Discounters scratched my rim

    Agreed. Normally I avoid chains like the plague. Got f'ed real hard at AAMCO transmissions on Northern Boulevard in Bayside, NY when I was younger and driving a beater. I generally have gone to the dealer since then (not that they don't have their quirks). However, 1) since Ford doesn't...
  17. Low Pitched Grinding Sound When Turning

    Glad I found this thread also. 2018 EB Premium A10 33k miles. Rubbing/scrubbing sound when turning left, usually in the morning. It's still in the 40's here in the mornings. Definitely worse the colder it is. Dealer says it might be differential clutch plates, but after reading all this...
  18. Digital Instrument Cluster go blank?

    Mine didn't behave like that, with rapid on-off-on cycles, but it did die eventually when the car was about 18 months old. This is a known problem with these clusters, which are also in some of the Lincoln models. If you are under warranty, or even if you are not, be firm with the dealer and...
  19. Groaning Sound from Rear when Turning

    2018 Ecoboost Premium with factory 20" - 265/35/20. No suspension mods. 32k Mi. New tires at 30k as the OEM were completely worn on the inner edge. For the past month, since the weather started getting cold here (25-35 F in the morning), when I first start driving off the driveway and the...
  20. Which gas do you guys use?

    93 Top Tier. Minimizes the chances of Ecoboom. Any brand, although I've heard conflicting stories about Shell in particular - some say it's great, others (including some tuners) say its particular additives are not good for GDI engines such as the EcoBoost.
