im not sure.... possibly a bad alternator...not real sure...is it acting like a dead battery? like reseting your radio or anything like that?? ive had a problem with my alternator before and these new mustangs will not run with a bad alternator...mine went bad for some reason while i was driving first your inside lights will go off then your head light then it dies...i was able to push start it for a minute before it died again...if yours is a standard than maybe try to pop the clutch while some one pushes it and see what it does if it cranks then dies shorty after then its probably just a bad alternator....not for sure maybe try calling the ford house in your town

quite the smell as well plenty of power battery and alternator are fine i think i burned the shit out of the clutch, but come on! 9,000 miles on the car one burnout are they really that weak of a clutch?

Happened to me once, mine was caused by a blown fuse. Cant remember which one it was...

You have a 2010? 9000 miles? You wouldn't think they would be that weak, do you?

Takes note not to do that to my car!

On the bright side: If you wife kills you, at least you don't have to worry about fixing the car!!!

I would wonder how a "big ass burnout" would cause the flywheel to heat up so much. I have almost 60k on my 05 and I don't know how many burnouts I have done (mostly in first due to basically stock NA engine and 5200 feet elevation) and I have not had any clutch issues at all.

During the burnout, the clutch should NOT be slipping. If it isn't slipping, it isn't getting hot. Did you have the clutch pedal ALL THE WAY OUT, or did you still have a bit of pressure on the clutch pedal from your foot? Was it a second gear burnout (which means the clutch will have more load on it)?

Have you taken it to the dealer? Given I have seen several Ford ads showing burnouts (and donuts), that are advertising the car as suitable for that, so they shouldn't be able to deny the warranty coverage for it.

 

[jroc07gt]

pushed the brke pedal to hard during the burnout?

Ding ding ding I think we have a winner. If I had to guess that's what happened. Kinda like that corvette ZO6 "burnout" someone posted where he smoked the clutch.

...... but come on! 9,000 miles on the car one burnout are they really that weak of a clutch?

No, more like that strong of a brake.

 

[RRRoamer]

The joys of line locks! I really need to install a set! Usually, I have the brake on ONLY hard enough so that I am still creeping forward. I wasn't doing it to protect the clutch, but the rear brakes... Maybe that DID save my clutch as well.

Ummmmmmmmmm, I would call that more like "operator error". Don't blame your drunk ass malfunction on the car.

Our brakes are a lot better than on an s-10
