Thanks guys for the responses. I'll check Tasca Ford and update everyone on what I find.

Hello Forum members. I'm finally ready to replace all my failed gauges on my '05 GT. I've acquired new fuel, engine temp and boost gauges from Autometer. I now need to source a new speedometer. Does anyone have a good (best price) source they can recommend? Also, some time ago, there was a...

Ok, another update. At an indicated 20.8% capacity and a measured 13.11V at the terminals, the car cranked fine! However, mindful of GT@50's note, I don't think I'll go any lower, though I'm confident the car would crank at lower states of charge. Next step is to build a couple more prototypes...

LOL :)

Tony, I am a degreed Electrical Engineer and have been designing electronic devices and coding for over 25 years for various companies and as a hobby. Props to you on the hard drive firmware. That stuff is no joke! Do a search for ESP32 and you'll find several development boards. Most have...

I am using the Epressif ESP32 CPU core with integrated WiFi and BT (battery uses WiFi). Firmware is C++, HTML and some CSS for browser pages.

Hello Awsum. Yes. I can easily mirror the terminals about the longitudinal axis. I can also paint any color. I am purposefully using non-traditional colors to distinguish the battery from lead acid. This will prevent an unsuspecting tech from doing something untoward. The battery is totally...

Hello GTMD. I just finished a week long idle capacity test (fully charged battery in GT for one week with factory alarm on). - Starting Battery capacity: 97.4% - Ending Battery capacity: 66% - Test Duration: 164.25 hours (6 days, 20 hours, 15 minutes) Car cranked fine. The battery is...

Battery weighs about 9lbs or a little over 4kgs. I no longer have the original lead battery but I recall it weighing about 40lbs+. Maybe someone with an Optima laying around can weigh it and confirm. Parts cost, including my custom board is about $250. If it passes testing I'm considering...

Just for kicks, here is my car nearly 15 years to the day after taking delivery.

Thank you Extrap for the information and clarification. It is always gratifying to learn additional tidbits about one's car!

VIN is 1712. I believe my car was built in August of 2005.

Yep. Given the price of the flawed OEM pieces, I will likely just buy the billet parts. I'll start with side vents as they have warped the worst.

I believe the top vents have molded in screws and the fastening nuts I believe are M4 size.

Ok, after a lot of searching I found the part numbers. 5G7Z-63403F22-AAA --> Passenger Side Clamshell Vent 5G7Z-63403F23-AAA --> Driver's Side Clamshell Vent 5G7Z-403F18-AAPTM --> Top vents They are not cheap... :( Regards.

I just wanted to update everyone on the lithium battery as I promised in my previous post. The battery is working well. It cranks the car with ease and is MUCH lighter than the lead battery. The battery has a display which when active, displays the voltage, current, temp and capacity remaining...

Congrats on the purchase. That bumper delete looks awesome!

Hello All. I am looking for the part numbers for the OEM top and side rear clamshell vents. Unfortunately I can not find these parts or the part numbers in my shop manual. And before you ask, yes, I am considering the aftermarket billet versions of these parts but would like to price the OEM...

Interested in speedometer if still available.

LOL, no, I do not plan on selling my GT. I love the car too much. I was just tired of dealing with lead batteries that have a tendency to sulfate when discharged and even when on a trickle charger, they have short lifespans. Even the sealed Optima I'm replacing corroded the negative terminal...
