    At least in the US on Verizon i can download maps on the phone so if cell service blinks out I have tha map. Probably not up to the minute traffic conditions. I don't know if that extends to foreign countries

    Expensive Oil Change Question

    I was going to say that if you've got a Ford GT oil change for $100 using the Ford oil then I want to go there! They lost money on that one. My dealer quoted me $400 in 2019. I did it myself - it's really not that hard. I tightened the mid pan down before putting the back pan in and found...

    Tips for Swapping Exhaust

    Get the instructions online for the borla. It says to remove the clamshell but you can make room by dropping the trans from the top mount. There is discussion here already. Use search.

    Since I don't know any better I'm going to buy a 2005-6 Ford GT - Sorry for the sarcasm!

    And resistance is futile. Many times here I've seen people buy a new splitter because theirs is scraped only to get it scraped again.

    Since I don't know any better I'm going to buy a 2005-6 Ford GT - Sorry for the sarcasm!

    You'll have to try it out but the front splitter often scrapes. I had to approach my driveway at an angle to get the left front over the "california curb" and then rest would clear OK. There are a couple of places that make curb steps that soften the approach. They are formed but "hollow" so...

    Ford GT MkIV Rides For Charity - Thank you Multimatic!

    Dbk, i recall that when they were first announced you were trying to get a mkiv. Did that come to pass? It looked like the Lemans car unleashed from their regs.

    When storing for winter -- Start it up or let it sit?

    The key to running it is to fully warm it up. That's why a short drive even in winter is best. Just be careful of the tires.

    Since I don't know any better I'm going to buy a 2005-6 Ford GT - Sorry for the sarcasm!

    .-1 mentions service parts. There are some ordinary wear items that Ford no longer stocks, like trunk struts and other just regular stuff. Other parts are simply not available at all. Some people here and other places have sort of become a small "after market" by making the struts, etc. I...

    When storing for winter -- Start it up or let it sit?

    Best if you can actually drive it even if it is for just a few miles up to operating temp. That helps circulate trans fluid and helps prevent flat spots on tires. Second choice is to run up to operating temp even if it is still. I did both in Colorado winters... Last choice is to let it sit...

    Fuel pump used during cranking

    Did you check the fuses? If a pump is truly down then you could pull the #1 fuse. If it doesn't start it means #2 is also down. If it starts like it did before but doesn't when #2 fuse is pulled, then #1 is broken. There are also relays. As I recall the fuel pump relays are the same as...

    LOOKING FOR GAUGE MODULE TO SUIT OUR 2005 GT

    I concur that the gauge control module is a second choice over a single gauge. However, if all the gauges are out, along with the odometer, then the module is suspect.
