Daily drivers: highest mileage gt350

[MAGS1]

I was under the impression after a certain amount of time you couldn't get the ESP? Mine is a 2018 that I bought in February. Didn't have any ESP previously that I'm aware of. It's at about 8,300 miles now.

Check out Granger if you’re interested in an ESP…

2018 here with original motor. 26k miles and been treating me great! I do engine oil every year, which is approx 5k miles or so. Sent 3 analysis to blackstone and they've all been perfect with plenty of life on the oil left per them, but I change it due to time. Never had any oil consumption at all.

if you truly had a faulty AC compressor replacement cause this issue, I think you would have legal recourse against the dealership for faulty repair to recover loss regarding the cost of engine replacement. Obviously you’re going to have to lawyer up for that.

So what the dealer found was all of the bolts for the compressor were loose, one of them actually came out all the way and was contacting the steering rod and causing a lot of vibration to the steering above 2K RPM. Unfortunately one of the bolts did shear off and the tip of it is stuck in the block. The tech said there's a good chance he can take it out without damaging the threads of the block so fingers crossed I can get away with not having to use helix thread or whatever it's called. Will find out in the coming days if I get lucky.
Tech also said whoever replaced the unit may have not torqued it properly, very rare to see all bolts coming loose.

Oh man, I wish you the best of luck. Document everything !

It took a week, the dealer had to call in some skilled tradesman to spot weld the bolt out. Luckily the Brocken bit came out without damaging the threads so the block is good!
Ready to hit the road again.

Daily driving my 2020 GT350 summer only. Over 58k miles. I need a tire sponsor.

12000 miles in 2 years with 6 track days. Just replaced the alternator and the voltage sensing line that goes into the alternator, which had a recessed pin. Minor issues to deal with for a car that produces massive grins every time you drive it.

Update: Soon to cross 62k miles (mostly Whipple boosted) on my '17 Gen 1. Little to no oil burn until I reach approx 35% oil life remaining . Once it hits this mark I start to burn about a quart for the remainder of the oil life. Found the final oil breakdown mark, and now my new oil change interval. I've been running Motorcraft oil and filter from day 1.

FYI, I did swap to forged MMR OPG and sprocket gear very early on in its life.

Sitting at 74k miles. Fresh Motorcraft oil change and put in another set of spark plugs (removed plugs looked good). Oil burn is approximately the same, maybe a bit more than normal. I hit 1.5 quarts burned during this oil change cycle, but I went all the way through the computers oil life cycle percentage this time. Other than that, no issues. AC still blowing cold.

 

[smokinscooters]

Wow, 74k is the highest I've seen so far. My wife will appreciate that I've got a long way to go to get to 74k and won't be purchasing a new car anytime soon ;)

I'm at 53,000+ miles and the mileage accumulation will finally slow down since I bought a new TOY that I didn't need, but really enjoy driving:

A proper 2-Door:

Ordered the "Hot Pepper Red" paint... so this picture was needed:

Was able to score a proper personalized plate for the Sasquatch Bronco Badlands edition:

 

[smokinscooters]

So jealous. Looking for a reasonably priced 4 door Badlands Sasquatch. What an awesome vehicle. My son had one for a couple of years and I had no idea that you could have so much fun going 2mph.

 

[Revan9]

Crossing 51k in my 2016. Changed the oil pan gasket, AC compressor and valve covers. Getting into my car every day is a real treat, she runs like a champ.

 

[sublime1996525]

Hopefully it’s nothing major with the AC. I’m going to hit 38k miles on the drive home from work today. Going strong. 2017 Gen 1.

I’m at 42k miles now. Shitty driving year for me.
