If you need to change the clutch fluid, I think you need to change the brake fluid too.

IMO, inspect them but if no cracks or fraying, keep running them. I've never seen a belt just break. All the failed belts I've seen had cracks, fraying, cord separation, etc. long before they snapped.

In my opinion: Fuel filters: Replace at recommended miles, not on time. Time doesn't matter, what matters is how much junk the filter holds. Unfortunately, there's no way to know without opening it up. In my experience across multiple cars, unless you feed it discount gas station gas, the...

Ditto.

There is a forum for those engines and trucks, and the guys there will know the answers. A very short answer here is that any aftermarket tune or delete WILL negatively affect your emissions and warranty. If you must stay emissions-compliant, forget about it.

Welcome to the Forum. Your Frenglish is pretty good. If you want a driver car, definitely go for one with 5-digit miles, the more the better. Cars that don’t get driven regularly have more problems than those that do. I have 90,000 miles and two other guys here have 150,000 miles on theirs...

It doesn’t matter if it’s original Ford MERCON fluid. Any PS or ATF that has the “MERCON” rating will do (but not “LV” as Eric noted). I just looked on my shelf for a bottle of ATF with MERCON on the label and used that. Note to everyone else: flushing the power steering fluid is not part of...

Definitely have to drive the GT On Christmas Day. Merry Christmas to all my FGT buddies and I hope 2025 is your best year yet.

Nah. If yer gonna buy a 2.7RS, sell the blue 1970. Otherwise, you won't drive the RS much, if at all. As you know, I'm a strong proponent of driving the snot out of one's cars, not saving that experience for the next guy. Like marrying a supermodel...

I was getting some power steering whine, particularly when cold. A quick check of the reservoir dipstick showed it below the stick. I added about a cup of recommended fluid to get it to the top of the fill line. I hate to admit it, but it's probably the original fluid from the factory, other...

Looks nice and price seems fair. Too bad I already have one (1973). Good luck.

Pat, wait for BMF to finish his 3.8 kit. It's based on the latest generation Whipple design. The 4L is several generations old.

A couple people have recently ordered new OE ones through their Ford dealer. Check that first.

Kendall, does the CEL flash when the problem is critical, like in other cars I've seen? I wouldn't know if it does that in the FGT, as I haven't seen a CEL in mine--and hopefully never do.

If the CEL is not flashing, I would keep driving it until I got it fixed. Let’s see what the error codes are.

I bought an Innova handheld model about 4 years ago. I opted up for the more deluxe model (about $200) because I use it across a handful of cars including my wife's 2020 Lincoln and my 2021 F150 3.0 Diesel, my brother's Dodge van and his Subaru. The models have changed, but this one at NAPA is...

Probably a bot.

I have not measured the electrical load of turning the key to Accessory, or ON, but based on my measurements on other cars, I will guess the the electrical load for Accessory position is significantly less than 5 amps, even with the radio on. IN the ON position, it is higher becuase the...

IIRC, the cig lighter/outlet on the dash is always hot. Therefore you do not need to turn the key to the ACC or ON position. Just plug it into the outlet. I'm not sure about the OBD2 port.

It sounds fishy. There are not many "exact options" on FGTs. 4 to be precise. Nor many colors. Almost everyone who is a serious buyer looking for a FGT has a couple colors in mind.
