    Vibration - 20" Rims to blame? Need Help

    If you think it is the wheels/tires and haven't had them checked on a Hunter 9700 then I would advise that you do. It is a road force balancing system that can best match tire and wheel for smooth operation.

    What MPG's are you guys getting with your 2010 GT's?

    10 GT 5spd mixed driving average on first 3000 miles is 18.4 per computer. Tank to tank mostly city has been around 16 and full highway cruise 24-25. Not the best but not bad for a V8.

    wiring for trailer lights

    Thanks for the replies. I like your plan CliffyDeuce and will give that a try. I did find out that the sill plates do just pull straight up to remove if needed. Did you run the wire on the drivers or passenger side of the car?

    wiring for trailer lights

    Here is a link to the instruction page for the installation of the Valley Hitch I'm planning on getting. If I need to use a wiring kit that needs to be connected to the battery I prefer to run the wire to the battery keeping it inside the car. I don't see any exposed fasteners on the sill...

    wiring for trailer lights

    Has anyone wired a 2010 for trailer hitch lights? Valley Hitch makes a LiteMate plug and play wiring kit but it is not currently available (new and not yet released). They told me you can't just jump into the wires on the car as you could cause some expensive damage. Their kit requires...

    question on winter driving

    My 2010 GT is my daily driver and so far it has gotten me places on the all season tires it came with. It is not as good as a front drive but I just take it a little slower. It is bad news if you have to start out on a steep grade or going up a hill in slush or deep snow. I know winter tires...

    Rear axle cover

    Thats normal for a solid rear axle car. No need for a cover on the rear as there is no exposed wheel bearing like the front if there was no cover.

    I have a 2010 GT and would like someone to check to see how their air controller works. With the heater turned on and I have the air indicating the direction of flow is to the floor only I can still feel and hear some air coming out of the defroster. I would think that there shouldn't be...

    Surprise when doing first oil change on 10 GT

    Thanks for the reply. I should also mention that it was on real tight. The metal band wrench I use was slipping and started to crush the filter. I then used a metal filter socket which I would recommend.

    Surprise when doing first oil change on 10 GT

    I was surprised when I took off the service cover to replace the oil filter and there wasn't a Motorcraft oil filter. It had no brand label and was white and had a socket type end, not like the Motorcraft filter I replaced it with. Anyone else see what came on their car?

    Locking Gas Cap

    I just got back from the dealer and picked up the part. It is a locking gas filler neck plug. Fits perfect. It is part # 8U5Z-9C268-B. I ran that part number on a google search and I could have got it $10 less but by the time you pay shipping and /or handling ???

    Locking Gas Cap

    That would be great. I'll check back for your reply. Just called my dealers parts desk and they are ordering what sounds like a locking cap. It is around $20. It should be in next week so I will let you know if it is the real deal.

    Locking Gas Cap

    Is anyone aware of a locking gas cap made for the 2010 Mustang. I just don't like opening the door and not seeing any security. I wish they would have made an interior release for the gas door.

    Rattle or vibration sound

    The noise I'm hearing is definately engine or transmission related and I can make it come and go in any gear around 3000rpm by lifting and stepping on the gas. It is a bad rod bearing type of sound but I'm sure that it isn't that. I also heard the same sound in another new GT under the same...

    Rattle or vibration sound

    I'm on vacation this week but when I get back I will give that a try. It is not a metallic kind of a noise like two things hitting together. It sounds more like a bad engine bearing kind of sound.

    Rattle or vibration sound

    After reading some posts with regards to the sound tube thing I'm wondering if it is picking up a mechanical sound at that rpm when there is load on the motor or a resonace from the exhaust. When I put the car in neutral and run the engine up to 3K I didn't hear it. It is more of a sound than...
