So even on my last mustang I was able to see the true trans temp number readings. Buying this car I thought I would be able to see the oil temp as well on the cluster? Idk if there’s a setting or what, it only allows seeing the trans temp on the circle form gauges. I go through all the...

did an oil change yesterday, nothing in the filter. Raced the car last night. No noise, or anything of concern. Had the car on the lift let it run and listened. Idk what I even heard before exactly either cause the noise is so weird. But I haven’t heard it since I did the oil change. Not goin...

okay, thanks a lot for your advice. Really appreciate it a lot. I definitely have some decisions to think over.

What path did you end up going for pulling the engine, traditional cherry picker or dropping it? I have access to hoists, so I could drop the engine out with the trans. I’ve been told that’s easier. Then I could leave the engine at my shop along with the trans for the winter, and work on it.

I would not mind having the engine pulled, I mean it’s a bitch. But I would like to rebuild it. But the kicker for me is I do have the desire to own a gen2 or a gen3. Now either that be having a 3-2-1 setup in my car. Or just buying an s550 out right and avoiding all the hassle of doing that...

Here are 3 videos with a cold start with revs and a warm start with revs. The noise doesn’t seem to be present as much. In the cold start video you can kinda hear it at some parts of the video but it is no where as present as my original video. Idunno what to do at this point. Like do I try and...

Ive heard about something like this actually, I think my memory can’t serve me right currently, I’m going to research the cam phasers and what symptoms the experience. Now that you mentioned it when I left work today I popped the hood, to see if I could listen while doing the small revs and it...

so luckily, the paper and the internals had no metal shavings of any kind, it all looked normal and clean. However I’m still going to change the oil this weekend and a new filter, whilst cut into the the filter that’s on the car right now and see how things look. I honestly just started noticing...

I only use motorcraft oem filters, I did run a magnet and it didn’t pick up anything. The actually paper and everything was clean no metal shavings of anything at all. I’ll try get a new vid today leaving work and see if I can make it easier to see.

Here is a pic of an old coolant bottle I cut, then I tore open my old oil filter, not the current one I have on there. This is from my last oil change. Idk if those specs are from fragments of tearing apart the filter or what I’m kinda nervous now lol. What do you think?

I will check the filter, and see what’s up. Won’t be able to do that until Saturday. Goin park the car for now, unfortunately my moms cars radiator blew so I let her use my truck so goin have to get that squared away so I can use my own truck again for the time being… life lol. thanks for the...

I have an oil pressure meter or display on the car, should I go off of that? Or directly hook up a gauge to the oil pressure sending unit?

I did have that code, I did a crank relearn and cleared the codes, no further issues on that part. When that occurred I was at WOT going very fast so I didn’t think to much about it just thought the system wigged out. now for the oil it was the same weight and brand just different variants...

2014 Gen1 5.0 6r80 I just noticed, in the morning when I start my car and the engine is cold, driving away I hear a slight tick type noise but only for a few moments. It goes away completely when the car is warmed up or even 5 mins into driving. I’m at 66,000 miles it just started, I check my...

oh for sure, the 18+ are gold I’d buy one but I already have a healthy coyote given it’s a gen1. Spend another 7k I can make pretty good power reliable and safe without cracking open the engine to build it. 600wheel and 10 second street car for 30k cap price. Not to shabby if I say, plus I love...
