The Pilot Sport 4 S can't be too bad since they are the stock tires on my Z51, hold at 1G in turns and have no slip from a takeoff. However I am waiting to see if they develope the known "ping" as they wear like I have on my GT500 tires. I may try the Contis on my next GT500 set just to see if...

I thought they were lead acid too...or AGM? They are too expensive for the price...if they came with a 6 year warranty no questions asked I might consider them but for only 3 years that doesn't instill a lot of faith that they are any better than some of the others out there at half the price.

I just had to replace the battery (40R) in my GT500. Left the doors open while cleaning and it never really came back to life after that so it was somewhat my fault...caused an early death. I have been buying the Samsclub Duracell batteries for my cars and I seem to get at least 6+ years out of...

Is there any real reason why I couldn't reverse the 4 S tires on a rim? They are not unidirectional tires and can be swapped between sides...... but that won't help if the insides are wearing....which may be front end struts but not ready to replace. So if I notice wear on my new set on the...

On my 2010 Gt500 I still use the stock tires sizes and the fronts are 255/40ZR19. Michelin makes TWO versions of this tire as listed below. The first one is the one specified by Ford (as it has FOR in its title description. The second one listed is a generic one that Michelin makes. I asked...

Spend last two days on an off pulling up the carpet and inspecting the engine and fender bays. My cowling areas were completely clean and the rubber duckies worked as they were supposed to ...still pulled and cleaned anyway. Used urethane to seal the seams in the cowling top and around the hood...

I have the well known water issue in the passenger side ...usually always collects in the back floorboard. My two cowling drains are clean and flow water well. I had it parked on a hill facing upwards during the last rain storm so that is when it took on water. 2010 Model Year. Read a lot of...

I have a 23 Lariat 2L ECO 4WD with 4K tow. Have 15K on it and getting 27--28 average on rural roads in NY. Rides nice at all speeds and I use it as a roundabout. Want good mileage so I am not putting large tires or tune on it. Plus Ford has done a few software upgrades so I would think a tune...

Did it bolt up using the same mounting holes and use the same plastic snap connector? I already have power so that's not an issue. Where the replacements from a Mustang GT or 500 and any idea what year would fit?

Anyone ever replace the stock visor with one that comes with a built in slider? The stock one really doesn't block the sun very well on the drivers side during long trips since it does not move. My Maverick has one that actually slides on a shaft so it is much more useable but unfortunately has...

I am very happy with the Mechman I bought for my 2010. No issues...way more than enough amperage and higher voltages at idling....no more worries. I rewired the grounds and main power cables with the new alt and it was worth the effort. I no longer have any anxiety over power issues. Read...

I have the same exact winter conditions you have and the same temps in my garage during the winter. Rarely goes under 40 unless it is below 0 outside. I leave car in garage for 4 or 5 months. Use Michelins but I have never noticed any permanent flat spot after they have warmed up and driven for...

Hey...not sure if I have seen your car on the road or not. Mine is a 2010 Kona Blue with white halo lights in the fog lights...so it is easy to spot...never seen another GT500 with halos on the fog lights. Summer only tires so it's garaged till spring. I always watch for other GT500s but there...

Tires are gone

Final Update..... I have had ZERO issues with my car since I put in the Mechman and rewired all the grounds. Car put away but I put a few thousand on it since the upgrade. No PATS failures, no more rough idles, no hard accel shutdowns, no engine dies --- no power issues of any kind. Car runs...
