This thread has been a great learning experience for me. This was my first oil analysis and I did it mostly for shitz n giggles. As a forum, we have a fleet of these vehicles we can compare such things too. Maybe help us learn more about the mysterious Voodoo.
I got around to reinstalling today. I stopped at 13 spins of the knob because I didn’t want to push my luck. Managed to get rid of the gap between knob and collar. Thanks for the help.
Thanks. I did a test fit and got to about the same level. Only ran one small bead of loctite. Maybe I will try to reinstall tomorrow and crank it down a little more
Just installed a Ford Performance shift knob on my car this evening. I was lucky enough to get the stock one off by hand. I’ve read the horror stories of over-tightening and having the threads pop up through the knob. I installed the knob with the blue locktite and stopped when it was getting...
Thanks for your report for comparison. I purchased the car from a dealer that just acquired it. I used the last reported oil change from the Carfax, which would put about 2800 miles on the oil I sent in.
Judging by the aluminum count and lab comments, one of two things is going on...the remnants of break in, or an engine that is prematurely shaving itself to pieces. I’ve literally never had an oil analysis done, so I was hoping other owners could share their experiences at similar mileage.
Hi everyone...finally joined the club about a month ago when I bought a used 2017 GT350 with around 4800 miles. This is my 6th and favorite mustang. So far I’m loving every minute of it. One of the first things I did when I drove home was change the oil. I sent a sample to Blackstone for the...
They are out of their minds. Yesterday I took the stock dipstick apart, including o ring, to attach a Shelby Parts handle. Took 20 seconds on my kitchen counter.
Thanks for all of the replies. I can’t believe it, but someone snatched it up on Saturday. Sat on the lot for 2 days.
Still good information. Hopefully I can jump in the deal faster next time.
My question is for people who have driven both the 2019 and up and the pre-update gt350.
I’m finally in a place where I can purchase a gt350. I found a a 2017 with all of the options I want, 2k miles, certified used for about $48k. I had planned on taking advantage of the discounts on a new...
Great explanation, and one of the reasons I think so many Bullitts are still sitting on lots.
It would almost seem that Ford is purposely trying to steer people away from manual transmissions...
My 98, 07 and current 93 were swapped to 3.73’s. With their mods coupled with the transmission gearing(and lack of 6th gear) I was definitely shifting early and often...and higher in the rev range on highway. The low end torque of those engines made them seem less “relaxed” at highway speeds.
I enjoyed your review, and you’ve got quite an impressive muscle car fleet!
Dealers in my area started offering 0% for 84mos and no payment for 90 days on the bullitt...hard to pass up!
The one I drove had magneride and was very well balanced. The wife likes the looks of the Recaro seats, and I didn’t find them uncomfortable during my short drive.
The bullitt would definitely be the easiest to talk my wife into. She loves the color and there is less sticker shock compared to...
It does drive much better. The back seat might be a deal breaker, because I have to shove a 5 and 3 yo back there. I’ll have to play with the seats more to see if it could work.
My biggest question is more for myself...This isn’t going to be a daily driver for me, so I want something that calls...
Hi everyone. I’ve been a long time lurker in this forum, as I’ve had my eye on the bullitt since it’s release. With the current financing offers out there, I finally went and drove one yesterday. I’ve owned an 88gt, 98 roush, 99 cobra, and 07 GT in the past. Currently have a 93 GT with a 331...
