I was at Discount Tire looking for similar wheels for my '14. PR106B 18x10, 5x4.5, +45 from Performance OE Replicas

Final (I hope) report on my diff leak. $400, but it's fixed! I installed the JLT catch can ($120) and Ford finned diff cover ($200), with a LubeLocker gasket ($25), a few weeks ago. As much oil as was all over my gas tank, I drained exactly 2 quarts when I did the diff cover, so no worries...

My car has had the hose and plastic valve fix since new, or since slightly after new when I took it in for the leaky diff. The hose goes from the left axle tube and is clipped to the gas tank strap right up against the floor pan. I didn't think the turkey baster would be big enough to contain...

Fluid leaving on acceleration. I didn't think about that. My car does plenty of accelerating to the traction limits. I don't think the turkey baster bulb stuck right on the axle tube will hold near enough fluid. My vent tube outlet is as high as it can go now and still be under the car...

It looks like my car either came with that Ford vent kit or the stealer installed it one of the two times I took it in. They have the vent end clipped to the gas tank strap at the rear of the gas tank right up against the floor pan. The entire gas tank is covered in oil. But hey, they didn't...

I purchased my 2014 GT brand spanking new in August 2014. It currently has about 44,000 miles on it. Stock 3.31 limited-slip rear end. Any idea why a 100% street-driven car would blow oil out the diff vent and what I might do to stop it? If I was tracking the car, I could understand, but it's...

Saturday I installed what I hope are springs for the convertible, BR3Z-5310-F. The Ford parts websites make it kinda hard to tell. I gained 1 1/16" ride height. I would be happier with another 1/2", but the car looks much better and rides better. We'll see how the springs settle in. Right...

I thought about GT500 springs. Will they fit a stock strut? Do they provide a lower ride height than a stock GT? When I check fitment, the same KYB part number comes up for both the GT and the V6. I should have checked that before I bought them. Nuts.

I didn't think about the extra weight of a Whipple Gen 5 on my '14 GT. While I was installing the Whipple kit, I replaced the front struts (one was leaking) with KYB SR4533 strut/spring units, which were supposed to be stock height. Now my front end sits too low; it's exactly 2" lower than...

I have a '14 GT Premium, purchased new late in '14 just before the '15's were hitting the dealers. It was steeply discounted, which is why I could justify stepping up to the Premium package. I'm 61. I owned a 10-year-old '69 Mach 1 when I was a kid. I hated to sell it when I sold it, but I...

I have a 2014 GT with a Gen5 Whipple Stage 2 with the Whipple tune it came with. I have the same thing. Sometimes, it'll just die at idle. It always starts back up. It idles a bit rougher than it did when stock and requires more right foot to get it going from idle.

I broke my oil dipstick tube pulling the cam cover off -- pulled the tube out of the clip, so I ordered a new one from a Ford dealer on Fleabay. The tube goes into the clip end at an angle. I asked the seller if it should be straight and he just said to return it. So I did. The second one...

I went through this many years ago with a '91 Suburban. To make a long story short, after trying to get a shop to stand behind their work, I finally bought books and equipment and learned to do it myself. AC work isn't terribly complicated, but it's easy to get wrong. I still need to buy a...

I am an old fart (and a noob on this forum. Hi all). I've always been a rabid manual guy. I drove a '69 Torino GT in high school with factory 4-on-the-floor. ...swapped out the crappy Ford shifter and linkage for a Mr. Gasket version (much like a Hurst). My Torino got wrecked so I bought a...
