Up until the past couple of months I really enjoyed my 12 GT. It looked good and ran even better. I did the common bolt ons, some suspension work, etc. For 4 years and 70k miles it was relatively trouble free. But.. the last couple of months things began to fall apart. The cooling fan plug burnt again, as well as the GT500 fan that was replaced as part of previous repair. Door panels separated from the foam. The paint on the hood bubbled, again... The A/C developed a slow leak . The squeaks and rattles were becoming more that just irritating. I enjoy maintaining and doing light repair work on my daily driver vehicles so none of that was a big deal... I drove home form work, pulled in my driveway and.

Oil was fine, temps were fine, didn't miss or run rough, no MIL lights nothing. I kept up with maintenance and used Mobile 1 synthetic and motorcraft filters. I was always listening for unusual noises like *the tick* that is often talked about. I never heard anything louder than the injectors or a/c compressor until then.
I had enough, my kids no longer fit in the back seat, I'm getting old, and need another daily. I'm a Ford guy and I still like the coyote engines ( and Mustangs ). I'm in a new F-150 5.0 super crew. Nice and roomy but feels so SLOW.. looks like VMP has a cure for that..
