List of changes to the 2019 GT350

[RJay]

The 2019 models are on the edge of my budget currently. With all the above said, have the 2019 engine upgrades contributed to a significant improvement in oil consumption/engine issues the earlier GT350 model years had?

There were many improvements in the 2019 MY. The bonus is that the 2020 MY is mechanically identical. If you can swing it, pick up a 2019 at +/-$8K under MSRP. Mine has over 8800 miles on it and no oil consumption at all.

Hi guys I'm new here hope I put this in the right place. I just bought a new 2019 GT350 last Friday, yes so far love it. I know it's been discussed [ the engine improvements on the 2019 ] I've tried to read though it but not sure if I completely
understand. Does all of the 2019 have it? I've read some about they are job 2, that they should have one signature? Mine is an early one vin ending in 0102, built 3/19, tag on engine is GT 350R / KA555 AA. But it has two signatures on the engine and it had a decal on the window that said job 1.
I guess for peace of mind, can someone confirm that it has the updated engine or not?

Also I have some things I like to sell, tires off it and handling pkg and other. Is there a place to sell items? Thanks

Others can jump in but my understanding is all 19s have the updated engine.

The single/dual signature test is not 100% accurate.

What is accurate is that you obviously pulled off the driver's side coil cover and looked at your engine tag.

If it's got "REP 5.2L GT350R" on the top line and "KA 555 AA" on the next line that is the "updated" engine that shares its block with the GT500.

Thanks, that's what I was hoping to here, don't know if it makes it any better, but it makes me feel better. lol

You have updated gen2 engine. My chassis # K0110 with date build 2/19/19. Engine was built by two people as well. It doesn't matter if the engine was built by one or two people in this case.

That's good news, like the color of your car. I'm loving the car but not driving it, going to take the cup 2 tires off and try to sell them, so don't want to put miles on them.

"Quality is Job #1" - Ford Marketing Slogan

Ok I get it. My bad, wrong [ Job 1 ]. Salesman was telling me it was for early production model.

"Job #1 is the first vehicle of a given model year off the line. When they make a running change to production during a model year the first one of those is called Job #2. Every vehicle built to those changes are Job #2. If they do another running change it's Job #3, and so on."
However, I'm not sure if that yellow sticker with "Job # 1" relates to model changes or the Ford's slogan. Also, is the Job # restarts with the first vehicle of a given model year every year? For example when they make changes in 2019 it's Job#1 and when they make changes during 2019 only it's Job#2. In 2020 the Job# will restarts to Job#1 again? I think Ford people if they on this forum may answer this question.
