Do the 16's have an differential temp sensor?

If he has the A6 then it's an aluminum cover

Yes it does have a diff temp sensor. My sensor wire was severed somehow and I had a diff temp warning on until it was fixed. It states diff temp warning, reduce speed. or something to that effect.

For what it's worth, those updated cup holders rattle more than anything else in the care if you have certain types of bottles in it, primarily coke bottles are the worst because of their shape I guess.

2016 has a diff sensor (at least the manual PP does), however there is no way to view the temperature in the dash (we even tried setting various codes in the onboard configuration file). The non-R GT350s can be configured to display the diff temp, but GTs cannot. The center dash firmware does not seem to currently support it.

If the diff gets too hot on a '16, car will throw warning message up on the center dash, but it does NOT pull power or go into limp mode. Its just a warning message. FWIW, I track my '16 a few times a year and have never gotten the warning. Other guys get it every time.

You probably can use an appropriate ODBII reader to watch the diff temp via the sensor and display it on an smart phone. I haven't done that yet, so I'll defer to someone else to explain it better.

If you're concerned about diff temp, and you don't track the car, then don't be. If you do track the car then adding a diff oil cooler is the recommended solution.

Here is a look at the 16+ diff covers with temp sensors.

The sensor is to the left of the drain plug. It does not go all the way through/into the oil.

I grabbed this one to make a custom cover, larger capacity with cooling features.

Mine doesnt have the sensor but has the hole.

Does anyone know what color wire goes on what terminal on the rear diff sensor. I was intalling my exhaust and the hanger caught the wires and pulled them out of the connector. Anyone want to crawl under there car and till me what side the green wire is on? Lol thanks guys!

Is the sensor only specific to only the GT w/PP and Shelby?

My 2016 EB w/PP does not have the sensor, but has the provisional hole in the cover as pictured above in the other post.

I hate the cup holder on my 2015 F-150 Plat. Those rubber grippers want to hold on to all kind of cups and it's pain in the butt to get anything out of the cup holder.
My 2016 has spring tensioner that won't over grip anything that I put in the holder.

You better go trade in that '15 for '16+
Your '15 is obsolete.

Trading in a car over a cup holder is ridiculous, seriously.

I trade mine in when the ashtrays full:lol:

Same here. I don't smoke and always lock it so don't want a haunted car.

Can you tell me the thread size of the temp sensor port?

Also, does anyone know if the wiring is in place and a sensor could be added to a 2019 GT, non-PP, and could it be enabled with FORSCAN somehow?

Insead of selling my track car Im building up my new diferential w torsen dif and 3.73 gears w the auto flange.. and as I track the hell of my car I would like to have the sensor but I dont know how to install the pigtail wire on the main harness... on other post on this forum I found the parts and I have my Diff out.... someone know how to install the pigtail wires? my car Is ready to become the guinea pig!

I don't know the answer, but you can probably find it here: https://cardiagn.com/ford-mustang-2015-2018-service-repair-manual-wiring-diagrams/

Scroll to the bottom for wiring diagrams. You'll probably need a few other sections too, but these are Ford Factory manuals as PDFs, hundereds of pages in all, and very useful for any work you're doing on the car. And totally free!
