I don't think that he was talking about you or the other guy, but rather the guys that are saying that it is impossible or can't happen.
Hey, guys, I just changed my oil at 5K and now my drivers door makes a loud thud when I shut it...I was thinking about starting a campaign on the web and notifying the NHTSA. Thoughts???? :banana:

I love it when someone who doesn't have a stick up their ass about their car and/or otherwise knows their shit when it comes to cars is deemed a "fanboy" and "arrogant" by the crybabies.
I didn't see anyone here deny that people aren't having real problems. We're just merely saying that there are plenty of people who don't know their ass from their elbow when it comes to cars that are complaining about trivial bullshit. That's not necessarily you because I don't know you, but the fact that you're taking offense to that is somewhat suspect.
At any rate, I recommend this forum:
Ford Mustang - GT - Shelby - Cobra - Classic Mustangs
You'll fit in well over there, trust me.
I don't know, but I want my car lemon lawed because my leather seat has a wrinkle in it. Maybe I'll demand a new motor too because it makes an odd sound when I start it up cold sometimes.

I just changed my oil today for the first time at a little over 3K miles. I changed it because I had noticed that it was a little low on the dipstick, and I just don't like topping off the oil when I am not sure what is in the engine. I chose Mobile 1 10W 30, I wanted to add a couple tips I have learned through the years. First, if using synthetic oils, you need to shake the oil first. Synthetics have additives that will separate like oil and vinegar. Shaking will ensure that these additives don't remain on the bottom of the container. Next, be sure to fill the new oil filter prior to installation to avoid dry start-up. May sound stupid and obvious, but not everyone grew up with a dad who knew cars. I have always used Mobile 1, but didn't start shaking them till about 5-6 years ago. I am a jet mechanic, and the oil we use is synthetic and explicitly says to shake. After thinking about it, I called mobile 1's tech line, and the guy simply said yes, you have to shake their product. I told him they may want to print that somewhere. Just my two cents. Oh, and I am not afraid, I refuse to live in fear, and will mod my car to my hearts desire.
Remove the door, no more thud
Be sure to wear a seat belt when door is removed!! ;-)
oke:Remove the door, no more thud
Thanks guys, I'll give this a shot. I brought it to the dealer, but they said it was normal operation which is pure B.S. I'm going to start a scientific poll to find out how many owners are affected if this door removal fix does not work...

Ha! Thanks for the advice on which forum to visit. That means . . . squat to me.
Thanks for at least acknowledging there could be real problems. I take offense when someone is having concerns, and folks jump on them without even knowing the facts of the INDIVIDUAL case. Because this is a site for enthusiasts, there is the inevitable bandwagon jumping from folks who can't think for themselves. Then, of course, you have Shadowstang who is in the minority with most of his opinions, but makes sure to thank the occasional person who backs up his delusional thinking in an effort to not feel like the outcast he is.
My experience was genuine, and it sucked (though it ended well). I'm going to find out if another poster's experience is legit before I insinuate otherwise.

Omg I just read this and now I think I have the same problem. How can I make a poll or a stickie about it?

lmmfao, I also believe all the mt82 problems correlate to early changes. just last night I made a right hand turn at 10mph while chewing gum and wearing contact lenses.....................my mt82 grinded on the 1-2 shift
? If I have a problem with my view. Ignore it ok? This is a great site. Don't ruin it.
The funny thing is, some of you would be the first to post a thread if this happened to you.
I guess you all are correct and FMC was wrong when they opted to replace my long block. Who needs techs, FSE (field service engineers), Hotline support, Sr. Engineers, and don't forget about the cost for the repair. Yeah, the more I think about, your right it was just me manifesting a problem that everyone has.....

I understand that cars aren't perfect. Every car has its own quirks. But to go out and blatantly say "just lower your standards" is a pretty weak argument. Especially since these cars with a few options go north of $30k. Just my 2 cents.
Edit: We're not talking about squeaks and rattles here, but drivetrain issues. Be it motor or trans, those are legit issues that should be taken seriously.
