    2006 Air condition compressor clutch Field Coil

    A while back someone mentioned that they changed their AC compressor with one from an F150. Said it was identical. Did not mention a year or trim.

    Ford GT Rally XIII - Registration

    The Canadian border is closed, by the US, to non-commercial entry to the US. So, Canadians cannot drive across the border in their car. However, Canadians can fly into the US in a tightly packed plane with 250 people. Labor day weekend I attended an International car show in Boise, ID. There...

    Ford GT Bumper Delete

    Oh, one suggestion. When you replace the muffler with a pipe, it probably won't fit PERFECT. You will need to loosen the cats at the manifold in order to locate the pipe just right, without stressing components. If you do a search you can find some comments about this. I replaced my seals at...

    Check with Kendall Pond at Cool Tech. He knows all about this. He can get you the proper Heffner pipe for the CDC kit. You can check out the pipe at the link below. I took pics of my pipe and sent them to Heffner, they needed some nice pipe pics. They loaded them onto their website. So you...

    Clamshell Spring Stops/Openers

    Seems odd that changing the lift struts would affect the latch alignment. However, you can unbolt the latch on the car and add thin shims under it to adjust the tension (with vernier accuracy) that you describe. You might mark the latch location prior to unbolting to assure proper alignment on...

    air conditioning compresser

    A very common problem is an overcharge condition. This will actually cause warm air to blow out of the registers. My 2005 GT takes only 18 oz of R134A (see refrigerant tag in front hood area). I have found that if the system is charged at idle to the high end of the pressure tables included...

    change oil in ford gt 2005

    I would caution you using the BMW cap and cage as purchased. You will be dumping pressurized oil into the crankcase. See my post below. https://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/threads/fgt-vs-bmw-oil-filter-cap-cage.36556/

    Ford GT Rally Transportation with Reliable Carriers

    Ford GT Rally Transportation with Reliable Carriers

    That's my exact route south. I have been in snow in the Blue Mtns in late October and Nov at less than 4000 feet. Unlikely, but possible. You are correct, I could make the decision at the last minute based on the weather forecast. I also want to follow the route home that I mentioned above...

    Ford GT Rally Transportation with Reliable Carriers

    All reasonable routes from my place take me over Rocky Mountain passes and even higher elevations. These may be sunny and clear or deep in snow. That is why I am trailering along the lowest possible routes. Route already planned, getting ready to reserve hotels along the route. I am going to...

    Fluid recommendations

    So here is a question I think of each time I read about changing the clutch fluid to a different type. If you flush with a different non-compatible fluid, the fluid from the rear bleed down into the clutch slave does not get replaced. Also, if you are having high temp problems with DOT 3 or...

    Ford GT Rally XIII - Registration

    FYI The hotel online reservations shows only king rooms available at the GT Rally rate. I just got a room with two queens at the GT Rally rate by calling the hotel. So the website is not showing all options. Also, the rally rate did not apply to Oct 30. Since, we are going to Chips bash, we...

    Rally to the Rally Party at Beck's Landing - October 30

    Ed and wife Karen Groce are planning to attend. Our hotel reservations start that night. We most likely will be rolling in with truck and trailer from the cold north. Can you accommodate my truck and trailer?

    Dave, Chip and others? Really appreciate all the time and work that you must do for this event. Thanks for allowing a few more slots for the rally. I also see that the hotel rooms are again available. I booked my room at same hotel, but under a different booking. So you won't see my name on...

    service in north west

    I am in Spokane, but do all my own maintenance. I know a couple of guys in the shop at Gus Johnson Ford and have had my GT in the shop, just so they could have a look see. I do know they have done general servicing on a couple of the GT's in the Spokane area. If you check with Gus Johnson, I...
