    What have you done to your mustang today?

    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...

    Lifter

    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...

    gauges autometer install

    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...

    Best Camber Caster Kit?

    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...

    Fender liner removal

    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...

    2014 GT oil blowing out diff vent - how to fix it?

    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...

    S197 mustang 2012

    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...

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    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.

    Forged Rods/Pistons - Found two oil squirters in oil pan - HELP

    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...

    When Advancetrac is turned off, is it really off?

    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.

    Front end too low after Whipple install - how to raise it?

    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...

    Front end too low after Whipple install - how to raise it?

    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...

    New 2014 Items to check

    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...

    Steering bind on right turns ONLY when hard cornering.

    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...

    IS the Coyote engine rebuildable or does the block need to be replaced?

    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...

    H&R Super Sport Springs alignment issues

    I agree 1.5 neg camber is livable. I had the alignment checked shortly after I bought my '14 GT and it was .07 negative from the factory. No reason or need to run 0. Currently I have Vorshlag castor/camber plates and I run 1* negative on the street and everything the plates allow for autocross.

    Specs / torque values, in OEM PDF files + Shop Manual Link

    I have a Chilton/Haynes manual I bought online that covers from '05-14. It's not perfect by any means, but it still covers a lot and as I recall it was pretty reasonably priced. Sorry I don't recall just where I found it, but I imagine you can google service manuals and find a source. Good luck.

    Mustang gt 2018 manifold to a 2012

    Tires matter. I am using Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ on my '14 GT. My old set had just over 36,000 miles on them and cool/cold weather traction under hard acceleration was pretty much non-existent this last winter. I could light them from a roll in 2nd gear without much effort. Time and lots of...

    Clutch Pressure, Help please.

    I've never had to bleed the clutch on my '14 GT so I am not positive this will work, but after all you've done so far it should be worth trying. It seems unlikely to me that you have air in the slave cylinder. You will need an assistant to do this. I would disconnect the clutch line at the...

    Boss 302 blown head gasket?

    Through visual inspection followed by a compression check is where I would start. With rough running I would expect a CEL, but just one more mystery.

    Gen 1 Truck Long Block vis Standard Long Block vis Boss Long Block.

    I don't have any first hand information regarding this vehicle, but I'll speculate that there are at least two factors going on here. First even though the engine might well be stock, ie. no non production parts, I'll bet the tune isn't the factory production tune. The factory tune is very safe...

    2011 Strut Mount Question

    It should bolt right in, just make sure you have the mounts facing the right direction. I have Vorshlag's street pro set up on my '14 GT and it uses the early '05-'10 Bilstein struts with their castor/camber plates. So long as you use early mounts with early struts or late mounts with late...

    oil pump harmonics?

    I don't think you can compare oil pressures from old style pushrod engines to the Mod Motors or even to the GM LS/LT and 3rd. gen Mopar hemis. All of the old style pushrod engines drove the oil pump off of the cam drive and so it only turned at 1/2 engine rpm. Mod Motors and both of the GM and...

    Wheel hop

    In my experience you have two ways to go, control arms or shocks. I have a base model '14 GT with a manual transmission. In stock form I experienced the same wheel hop that everyone has complained about. I installed a set of J&M lower control arms with poly bushings. I choose the J&M's because...

    oil psi on 2014 gt

    Oil pressure varies quite a bit on these engines. I use 5w30 Mobil 1 in my '14 GT and on a cold start up it's just under 100 psi on an Autometer gauge. Once it's up to full temp it's 25 psi at idle and still near 100 psi above 4,000 rpm. It's worth remembering that nearly all of the older...
