    Throttle Response?

    I had a 2012 Mustang V6 auto and now a 2014 GT auto. I had that bump in the V6. The impact of the bump varied greatly depending on the pressure the tranny had seen just prior to the stop. It did this consistently for 55K miles. I have no bump with the GT. I haven't had a throttle response...

    Anyone Else's Coyote Consuming Oil?

    This must be the industry standard. I had a similar issue with a Chrylser product and was told this same thing by the service tech. HOWEVER, in my case it turns out that a valve seal was bad from the factory in cylinder #1...whole head had to be replaced after 50k miles due to the resulting...

    Damaged Resonator

    I bet if I spent $414 on 2 new sections with un-dinged resonators, the exhaust resonance in my interior would go away (occurs at 1900-2000 rpm only). But it's really not that much of an annoyance despite the fact I kinda wish it weren't there.

    Damaged Resonator

    I have since found out that the dent is normal.from the factory, so it's not an issue....

    Damaged Resonator

    Damage didn't happen on my watch...and I've driven it for all of its 1600 miles. There's no surrounding damage. I believe that a damaged part was simply put on at the factory.

    Damaged Resonator

    Upon installing a Draw-Tite hitch receiver on my new 2014 GT this morning, I noticed that one of my resonators was damaged. One side is dented in by maybe 1/2 inch along most of the length of the unit....I didn't specifically measure. Will this affect anything with regard to its performance...

    Exhaust Drone On The 2014 Gt Auto

    Removing the sound tube was the FIRST thing I did.

    Exhaust Drone On The 2014 Gt Auto

    No mods. The car just turned 1000 miles 2 days ago. Its sound has changed over the 3 weeks I have had it. I suspect the car is somewhat broken in now and will now settle on its own unique note. I'll try a clip....

    Exhaust Drone On The 2014 Gt Auto

    In normal day-to-day driving I can hear my stock muffs out the back. It only makes sense that there will be resonance (drone) at some point in that case. It's an audio frequency thing. So the question boils down to why I can hear my mufflers while almost everyone else can't? I've posed the...

    Exhaust Drone On The 2014 Gt Auto

    The exhaust on my new GT is totally stock, quite loud and drones at 1900-2000 rpm. Did Ford change anything for 2014 in the exhaust system?

    Now I'm In The Gt League

    WAIT! I am gonna install my Draw-Tite 1-1/4" receiver for my bicycle rack. That hasn't happened yet...waiting on new installation hardware from etrailer.com. I lost the mounting bolts into the frame when I removed it from the 2012....

    Now I'm In The Gt League

    No more mods. I'm happy with what it has "as is".

    Now I'm In The Gt League

    My last post 2 or so years ago saw me with a sweet 2012 V6 Premium. On July 8 I took possession of a 2014 GT Premium which has been a complete joy all of its 600 miles to date! I take joy every time I crank it up and listen to its raucous spirit and look forward to the red lights just so I can...

    Slap-slap-slap

    One morning 2 weeks ago I cranked the car and it sounded like my blend doors were doing a dance! I thought I'd better take it in immediately which I did. It turned out to be the blend door actuator. The dealer's labor charge on the warranty was $60, so it must have been super easy to replace...

    Slap-slap-slap

    Car was in motion all 3 occurrences so I don't know if it could be heard outside. It did it with fan/AC on and with it off. It was very loud and sounded like it was coming from the passenger foot well. I later went out, turned the engine on and exercised all the climate control options...

    Slap-slap-slap

    This morning for the first time in 26K miles there was a loud slapping sound coming from in the dash...about 6-10 slaps at a rate of about 2/sec....???????? ...with or without the climate system on. It sounds like a blend door motor gear with missing teeth. Anyone experience this?

    Mc 5+ Qt Container: Warning

    Earlier this week i changed my oil with the usual 5 qt container of 5W20 oil then added a qt to make it 6. This evening I checked the dipstick oil level and saw that the level was significantly above the max level. I looked at the supposed 5 gal container and noticed that stated 5 liters or 1.32...

    2010 V6 VS 2012 V6 (My impressions)

    I have the 2012 V6 and agree that the engine is a nice smooth mild-mannered V6 under 3K rpm but really "wakes up" above that. I don't get the gas pedal lag.

    Got A Leak Today :(

    My 2012 came fresh from the factory with the same leak except on the driver side. It turned out to be the windshield seal or lack thereof.
