I have a 2018 GT and just went out to look to see how thee windshild is attached. It does not appear that any part of the frame surrounds it, it looks like it sits over the frame and is glued into place. Now I have heard that the windshield is a structural part of the car, so it must have...

The copper side with the paralell ridges is the good side, that would be the right side on the top picture and the left side on the bottom picture. The other side had been burnt down by arcing, I would imagine. The two burnt sides touch each other, so one side was good and the other was bad...

Well I went medieval on the solenoid with a Dremil grinder so we could get a look at the contacts. They look pretty bad and was probably the problem. Unfortunately there is no way to put the solenoid back together after the damage I did to it. I have scoured the internet to look for a...

The solenoid is not meant be taken apart as they have crimped the metal ouside over the plastic inernal structure. I guess there is a chance I could pry all the crimped metal back to disemble it, but it may be more that I want to tackle. Perhaps tomorrow I will give it a try as even if I...

Thanks, after watching a lot of videos on bad starters that is pretty much what I came up with also. Unfortunately no one sells a solenoid for this starter, they make you purchase a new starter. I'm going to keep searching for one but if anyone out there knows where I can purchase a solenoid...

I changed my starter the other day and decided to tear it apart rather than get the core refund. I have a few pictures of the internal parts that could be bad, but none look really bad. The starter would crank slowly and then pick up speed, and always start the car. I have a 2018 GT 5.0 with...

I probably would never put that starter back in but the thought of only getting $25 for it just frustrates me. The new one costs $305 and to get $25 for the core, which can probably be rebuilt, just seems too low. I'm thinking I can call it a $25 investment towards my education of starters if...

I just replaced my starter with a genuine Ford one and can get about $25 if I return the old starter ($35 minus $10 for shipping). The starter still cranks but slowly. I can't find anyone that rebuilds them, or even find a kit where I can try to rebuild it myself. I'm thinking that it may...

Get a Multimeter and start checking if you have power at various locations. On my car the positive battery cable goes to what appears to be a junction block with cables going to the starter and various other places. I would start there and see if you get at 12+ volt reading with the positive...

globalindustrial.com is an industrial supplier and O rinsg are one of the products they sell. Go to their web page and do a search on Inventory stock # B2272251. These work perfectly on our drainplug, I have been using these since 2020 and never had a problem. The price I paid in 2020 was...

I have the old style plug and replace the O rings about ever 3rd oil change. I measured one of the rings and ordered a paage of 10 from a company online, they work fine. It looks like the new ones are a different size or I would give you the information to order a package.

I'm about to install a new starter in my 2018 GT with an automatic transmission. This starter has 2 bolts, one on the front that is easy to get to and one that you have to access from the rear, which you can't see as it is on top. (The bolt comes in from the rear and actually screws into...

You need someone that has a scan tool that costs thousands of dollars and can look at the spark on each individual cylinder, not one that gives you a code.

Too late for this advise but for anyone else out there that can't afford to drop a new engine in their car I suggest you don't mod your engine and then run it hard until you have problems.

Has any of the dealerships you have visited hooked up a good scan tool to see what is going on when out for a test drive. If you are losing power they should be able to see a no spark condition on the offending cylinders if that is the problem.

You are going to need the one that has the wire on it if your car is set up the same as mine. I believe the high pressure fuel pump would interfere with the coil mounting directly over the plug and that is why it is offset with the wire going to the plug. Even if that is not true you can not...

I did mine 8 years ago and I don't remember having any trouble doing it. I didn't buy any delete kit, as I remember I purchased some stool end rubber caps, at Walmart or Home Depot, that slide over where the hose connected; about $3 for 4. On the firewall I may have used black duct tape and...

Seems strange that you only feel the miss at a certain RPM, could you be experiencing torque converter shudder?

The last time I did a timing chain it was on a 327 Chevy engine but it's not the chain you have to adjust its putting the gears in the proper position and then installing the chain, perhaps that is what you mean but wanted to clarify that. Now it my opinion if the other side is timed correctly...

I watched an interesting video on testing 02 sensors. This may not be your problem but this is the type of testing you should be getting done by someone that knows what they are doing and with the equipment this guy has.
