Happy to hear you’re making progress in getting back on track. It looks like you are getting proficient at swapping engines. I know who to call when mine needs to come out.

If you get to a point where that new set of Boss heads is surplus let me know. I may be interested.

Let me guess, they dropped it off a speeding truck and claimed it was insufficient packaging so they were not liable for the damage.

With the valve core removed won’t the tire just fill up with air when the hose is removed?

19” track pack wheels require a spacer to clear the spokes.

Cheers as I lift my glass in solidarity.

Here is your homework on S197 brake upgrade.https://trackmustangsonline.com/threads/huge-brake-upgrade-for-s197-chassis.11867/

It could have been worse. Your car could have been in the trailer.

Glad to hear you are okay Bill.

Played with it a little bit more today. It appears you can disable the TPMS system on the S197, so no more light on the dash when running track wheels without sensors. The light is not coming up on start up. I still need to drive it some to see if it comes on after driving for awhile.

The OP has a S197 not S550. The solid axle in the S197 is not as prone to overheating. The housing holds more fluid and the axle tubes dissipate heat better.

I need to spend more time on TGM. I wasn't even close on this one.

I rebuilt the trac loc in my 2011 with carbon clutches once. It needed it again after a couple of years. Replaced it with a true trac and couldn’t be happier. Better acceleration out of the corners and lower rear diff temps. Also doesn’t need friction modifier. Thst stuff is vile.

Got my OBDII cable today and downloaded Forscan. I played a little on my 2017 Fusion. I was able to turn of the annoying auto stop/start and disable the manual switch so it doesn't display messages on the dash if you accidentally hit it. There is still a symbol with a line through it that...

Nice collection of cars.
