    AC blower not working

    Hello from Tampa, waiting patiently for hurricane Milton to come through in about 12 hours. The 05 GT is at the airport parking garage, the 2020 is on the lift so I have can have about 15' of storm surge before I get damage (less important, I would have 5' of water in my house at that point)...

    I AM IN!!!

    Is this a cruel joke? Waiting patiently for any kind of update saying my Priority Waitlist was converted. Trying to think of something to post other than " WOOOP! WOOOP!" if I hear that news.

    I AM IN!!!

    I was excited to see an email from the GTD concierge this morning, but excitement quickly turned to disappointment. Like getting picked last on the kickball team in 5th grade disappointment. I had myself convinced that I would be picked. 2 GTs, Raptor R, Lightning, and a 69 Mach 1 that I have...

    Oil change procedure

    Here is a rainy day project that I did last week. I got tired of the chinese junk tools and I never saw that quality filter socket shown in the above post. I brazed three nuts on the side of this socket and sharpened up some thumb screws to tighten the socket to the filter. Only really need...

    Oil change procedure

    That is good news about the Motorcraft oil. Now, this will probably start a vigorous debate but------what interval time wise, do people change their oil in a NFGT? I am going on about 18 months but only around 900 miles. It always looks fresh when I change oil in my old GT after 18 months. 2...

    Oil change procedure

    Any source for the Castrol Supercar oil? Is the Motorcraft 5W-50 adequate? I don't plan on tracking anytime soon. Thanks.

    NFGT production by color question

    I am sure this topic has been touched on, but I have done several searches and probably am not wording it correctly. Is there a link to show the production broken down into colors and stripe options?

    Tampa Florida area service techs? costs??

    Rick down in Sarasota has worked on both my 05 and 2020 GTs. He is very good and knowledgeable. It is however, kind of a drive from Tampa. I doubt Veteran's has a GT certified mechanic unless they have been added very recently. Ford sent Rick to my house in Tampa to change the airbag...

    OH NO! I rurnt my car

    Well thats how I felt anyway when I scraped the passenger side mirror on my lift yesterday. I am usually super careful pulling under the lift but I had the Macintosh cranked up due to my awesome sounding X pipe, and some obnoxious DJ parody song was playing so I looked down to turn it off for...

    Delorean Alpha 5

    My wife has been wanting an EV and has been looking for a while, but most are 4 door sedans and she wants something a little sportier (unless you get into the super high end like a Rimac). I happened to see this Delorean and signed up for one. Interesting how they are selling them with a...

    Fuse box access 2020 in order to energize enough to open door

    Hello. I only post after extensive searches, so I apologize if this has been posted before. My 2020 has a dead battery and the charger (2 different ones) go into fault mode after about 20 seconds- after waking the battery with reset button. I can't open door as window is all the way up...

    Any luck on new Raptor orders?

    Interesting update on Raptor R order. I was told by my dealer several months ago the "We will NOT be getting a Raptor R allocation, sorry". I was down there on the first day that the order bank was open and the guy that orders the vehicles put it in the system in case they got one. If you...

    Follow up: I ordered a new ctek charger and it shows a fully charged battery after about 10 hours of charging. I have a defective OEM charger. I still have 8 months of warranty, so I have some time. Thanks for the replies

    Battery Charger issue

    Thank you to all that replied. I talked to my closest GT mechanic, and he informed me that he has replaced several faulty batteries but not many chargers. It's a bit of a haul roundtrip to take the car for this diagnosis. I would like to try another Ctek charger to try to determine if its...

    Battery Charger issue

    Sorry fjpikul I looked at the online owner's manual for the 2020 and couldn't find anything on the issue I am having. I suppose it could be included in the 300+ pages. I know there is plenty on proper installation of a child seat and more than 40 pages on Sync 3. None of which I am the...
