  1. 2018 Mustang GT Manual Transmission issues.

    My experience has been the same with the MT-82 in my 2018. The driveline is very temperamental, it feels like it drives differently every day, and sometimes slack is very apparent. It hasn't gotten any worse over 5 years of ownership, and I've seen plenty of people with the same complaints, so...
  2. Fuel-It Flex fuel sensor installation

    In addition to what Jjmoberg said, I use this kit so I don't have to test my fuel when I'm running my Lund E85R tune.
  3. New LMR SVE SP2 Wheels (PP2 Replica)

    Thanks! It's the stock PP1 suspension with RTR Tactical lowering springs (and front camber plates), dropped it just an inch.
  4. New LMR SVE SP2 Wheels (PP2 Replica)

    Finally put new tires on. Michelin PSS 285/35-19 front, 305/35-19 rear. Still loving the look with these wheels!
  5. New LMR SVE SP2 Wheels (PP2 Replica)

    I've had this set on for 6 months now, but I finally took some good pictures of it. Front: 19x10 w/ Michelin PS4S in 275/40R19 (I put my OEM rears on the front to save a bit on tires) Rear: 19x11 w/ Michelin PSS in 305/35R19 Lowered 1 inch on RTR Tactical lowering springs. When it's time...
  6. Mustang gt vacuum gauge fluctuates when cruising steady throttle

    If it has been doing this for 72k miles without issue, I'd be in the same boat, lol. Drive it until a problem presents itself, I guess! How's your oil consumption?
  7. Mustang gt vacuum gauge fluctuates when cruising steady throttle

    Chiming in to say I also had this issue when I bought my 18 GT used in 2019. Vacuum gauge would dance and exhaust tone would change at steady throttle. My dealer had the car for 3 months. At first they said the throttle body was moving on its own, then the cam phasers were acting funny, they...
  8. Rain spot etching on over the top stripe

    I talked to a local detailer a while back about paint correction. He told me that I didn't have to remove the vinyl stripes, and he could polish them up. So I guess it's possible?
  9. Car has a rough idle after driving it hard sometimes causally!

    That's frustrating. The VCT solenoid issue can definitely cause the engine to die at idle, though. Luckily, you can manually cycle them at home and see if that fixes your issues. It can't hurt! I just picked up a small 12V battery for an ATV, popped the plug off the solenoid, and used...
  10. Car has a rough idle after driving it hard sometimes causally!

    When your rough idle happens, does it seem similar to this? Skip to 7:00 if the link doesn't take you there. Gen 3 Coyotes have a known issue with VCT solenoids, where they get sluggish or stuck. That's what comes to mind first when someone posts about intermittent rough idle. The...
  11. Fuel-It Flex fuel sensor installation

    I agree. I think a 30 or 45 degree angled fitting would have been perfect for that spot. Maybe you could get a new hose made with an angled fitting there? For what it's worth, my opinion is that the bend in the hose probably won't pose a problem, as long as it's not kinked or pulled too hard...
  12. Fuel-It Flex fuel sensor installation

    I see the difference now! My kit reused the OEM bent barb fitting that connects to the firewall, so I have no bend in the hose. Pics below. Side note: Your engine bay is way cleaner than mine 😅
  13. Fuel-It Flex fuel sensor installation

    Gotcha. Yeah I opted not to go with the billet fittings for mine, and it looks like it may have been to my advantage. It appears the billet fittings are longer and force a tighter bend. When I ordered mine, they hadn't made a 2018+ kit yet. Mine is the original 15-17 kit, so I don't know how...
  14. Fuel-It Flex fuel sensor installation

    I installed this kit on my 2018 GT a while back, and I had the same concerns. I ended up securing the ethanol sensor to the bottom of that corner brace with zip ties and some rubber cushioning between them. It has held very well for a year now. One of the crimp on clamps did fail a couple of...
  15. Installed the ROUSH lower grill & splitter and now car is bottoming out on driveways? is this normal?!?!

    Go very slow over speed bumps, and I mean CRAWL over them. Always back in to parking spots, do not pull in forward, parking lot curbs are now enemy number 1. Anything that looks steep (driveways, etc.) try to approach perpendicularly. Once you get one front wheel up on the incline, you can...
  16. 18-21 Mustang GT Grilles

    I have been running the MP Concepts upper grille for 6+ months. I added a pair of Velossa Tech Big Mouth snorkels to fill in the empty corners (NOT a direct fit with this grille, lots of trimming required). My Mustang is my daily driver, so this setup has seen lots of dust and rain without...
  17. Dealer describes "Piston Slap" as a "Normal" characteristic of the 5.0 V8

    What you're describing sounds exactly like the "2K rattle", all Coyotes have it. I always thought it may be timing chain related, but there are a lot of theories. Just learn to ignore the sound and enjoy driving it! Also, look up the "typewriter tick", since you're bound to notice that one...
  18. Surging throttle

    Man, I really hope this is the end of the problems for you! FWIW, mine has been rock solid reliable since engine replacement for more than 30k miles now.
