Not today, but two days ago I replaced the original steel two piece driveshaft in my '14 GT with a one piece aluminum one from Ford Performance. After 106,000 + miles I noticed that I was hearing a little more driveline noise then I had been used to. No vibration or anything else of concern...

The Coyote being an overhead cam engine dosen't have lifters in the sense that a pushrod engine does. It does have roller followers. One end of the follower rests on a hydraulic lash adjuster which sits in a hole in the head. The other end rests on the end of the valve stem. There is a roller in...

I installed an Autometer volt meter and a electric oil pressure gauge in my '14 GT a few years ago using an "A" pillar mount also from Autometer. I got the 12 volt power from the inside fuse box [ passenger side kick panel ] using a mini "add- a- circuit" available from any auto parts store...

I am also a happy Vorshlag customer. I bought their Street Pro kit. Bilstein shocks and struts, Ford "P" springs and Vorshlag's castor/camber plates. The struts used are for '05-'10 197 series cars. Early struts work fine on '11-'14 cars so long as the early strut mounts are used. They come as a...

I just took a quick look at my '14 GT and the pins I saw were the type with a plastic screw in the center instead of a push pin. It was cold in the garage so it was a pretty quick look. There might be other types of fasteners used as well. They pretty much work the same, remove the center pin or...

I am a pretty old guy myself [ 77] and I also have a '14 GT that I bought new. I've got a little over 83,000 miles on mine, mostly stock. A track key, oil catch can and some suspension mods for an occasional autocross and winding rural roads. I also had some rear end oil blowing out of the axle...

Since you have a one piece driveshaft and adjustable control arms the first thing I would check is the pinion to driveshaft angle. A one piece driveshaft is going to be more sensitive to the pinion to driveshaft angle than the factory two piece shaft. As for the tires and wheels, it's always...

Nothing out of the ordinary, just routine maintenance. Oil change and filter last night and rotate tires and bled brakes today. Everything good to go for another 4,000-4,500 miles.

A tech at Ford Performance MIGHT know just when oil squirters were deleted, but since you've already found two of them it's a pretty safe bet that your engine had them when it was assembled by the shop in Ky. My first concern is that since you found two of them, are there more of them in the pan...

I have a '14 GT and do the occasional autocross. I haven't found any need to depress the clutch pedal in order to disable the advance track. You do have to push down on the brake pedal and hold the button down for few seconds until the "advance track off" appears in the message center.

I haven't tried GT 500 springs on anything so I can't speak from personal experience, but I think they should fit stock or stock replacement struts. The one thing I know you have to match up is the right year [s ] strut and strut mount. '05-'10 struts have to use '05-'10 strut mounts and '11-'14...

GT 500's of that time period came with supercharged engines so stock springs from a GT 500 might just work. No guarantees, the GT 500 engine without a supercharger probably weighs more than a stock coyote. In any case stock springs either base or track pack are probably fairly cheap. Chances are...

I have a base model '14 GT manual trans car that I bought new. It has just a bit over 76,000 miles on it now and it's been nearly flawless so far. The only failure so far has been the CD player. It just suddenly quit. I have a factory track key [ you can only get it for manual transmission cars...

When did this first start happening? Any changes or work done just prior to this? How much positive castor do you have? Positive castor helps to center the steering. If you disconnect the steering shaft from the rack is there any binding just in the steering column itself? My '14 GT is my first...

Like others here I have some experience with rebuilding older pushrod engines. You didn't say what generation coyote you're working with, but I'll assume it's a 1st. gem [ '11-'14 ]. If it's '11-'12 it should have 12 mm head bolts, '13 & later should have 11mm bolts. Since you plan to run boost...
