Something seems to be amiss. The "New Threads" at the top of the bar no longer shows any topics even though the activity icon in the forum list shows topics. All of the forums in the main page list open with "There are no threads in this forum". In fact, this post doesn't show under the...

Or go down to your local heavy equipment dealer/service center, ie, case, etc. They make hoses with fittings on site but note they will not be "shaped'

I became an O-ring sizing expert because of the various fixtures in my swimming pool valves. Every O-ring has an assigned number. The dimensions are fixed. Every #160 is the same size as every other one. The inexact science comes from trying to match the dimensions of an old o-ring and then...

My mechanic didn't accept them either

It's hard to tell in the picture but i don't know if the bolt is shorter or merely has more threads where the other ones have a shoulder.

Are you referring to the one in the front that has more thread? Both sides, correct? Is it possible this was for a locking hub nut?

You could easily get it back on some parts like headlights if they fail, but like all insurance policies, will you need it... As heavily as some advertise I was tempted to call one to see what they had to say

Or pull the fuse

Just in case you're PO'd at Ford on spare parts for the GT they aren't the only one. A couple of years ago the Dodge Dealer broke the fuel tank on my truck while replacing a fuel pump. It's the oversized 33 gallon tank. None are available from Dodge (even today) and there is no aftermarket...

Lightly used Z06 will be everywhere

I got tired of the old links and the quality of the new search links that give a "drive it for a while" but don't address the specific test sequences. I extracted the drive cycle from the 2006 Ford GT Service Manual and posted it here...

Which I extracted and posted here: https://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/threads/ford-gt-emissions-readiness-drive-cycle.39317/ I got tired of stale links or the introductory detail-less generic cycles that were referenced elsewhere and extracted the service manual version.

[2005-2006 Ford GT] On Board Diagnostic (OBD) Drive Cycle Description of On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) Drive Cycle The following procedure is designed to execute and complete the OBD monitors and to clear the Ford P1000, I/M readiness code. To complete a specific monitor for repair verification...

Whenever you remove the battery (unless you plug in the charger first) or clear a "Check Engine" light code, the emissions readiness tests must be run again. The monitors check for presence and operation of critical engine emissions systems, e.g., O2 sensors, catalytic converter, EGR system...

I think the removal of the fenders is overkill. Indeed you need to get access to the bottom of the windshield but in looking at it a long time ago my feeling was that you'd loosen the fender from the car but might not need to fully disconnect all the electrical and other attachments. The idea...

The one from obdii.com seems to take forever, as does the basic site. Don't know what's going on and if it's permanent or temproary. Nonetheless the manualslib version is the same. Google search for "Ford emissions drive cycle" shows many more.

The easiest way is to just do a 10 mile drive in varying conditions (in Vegas I just went for a loop that included a short freeway jaunt). Then connect the OBDII reader and see which ones haven't cleared and then use the drive cycle portions to specifically target those that aren't set. The...

Search can be your friend

I would never take a passenger on a hot lap. Too many things can go wrong and almost all of them end up with them having every you own and more. Fun and feels good when it turns out well until it doesn't. Glad it ended well but remember the pucker moment. They're bad enough when you're...

Follow the drive cycle doc step by step. Then specifically target the steps for the ones it missed.
