  1. GT350R Engine #3 and the problems continue!

    Thanks Rick... Porsche GT3!Thanks again for running such an awesome site and the FB sister site. Despite my problems, I got bitten by the Snake and will keep lurking for a while as I really want Ford to succeed! Enjoy in good health everyone!(NB will have a part out soon including a...
  2. GT350R Engine #3 and the problems continue!

    Update: Ford gave me the option of a new 2019 R or all my money back and I took the latter. Even as I turned the car in, there were still some unresolved throttle hesitation issues.Agree with what many have said on here, kudos to Ford for standing behind its product through the...
  3. Funny thing happened leaving Kool &Gang concert.

    The t-shirt is a conversation starter for sure (happened to me randomly 3 times). Other shirts (Porsche, BMW related) seem to be conversation-enders! ;)
  4. Engine Replaced due to High Oil Consumption

    Nothing surprising from the break-in procedures, which I've used on my two Voodoo engines and my BMW (100k miles for 8600+ rpm engine with 30+ track days). What is surprising is that Ford doesn't recommend a near-term oil change (I've done this and interestingly BMW does require this), and I'm...
  5. GT350R Engine #3 and the problems continue!

    Totally..there's a reason I only posted in this forum about my experience. Opinions on the other site are like you know what.... everybody has one! (and any suggestions offer nothing in the way of solutions). Kudos to keeping this site very well run and informative!
  6. GT350R Engine #3 and the problems continue!

    Spot on..this is my point exactly. Dead giveaways of Ford not getting its arms around this GT350 engine issue are numerous including 1) not running proper tests with original fault; 2) not pulling the ECU; 3) not replacing the ECU (yes they do go bad, it's rare but it happens); 4) testing and...
  7. GT350R Engine #3 and the problems continue!

    Yeah, 30% on the regular Mustang GT seems very high (to be clear, that's not my number as was discussing the 350). From other forums with respect to the 350 looks like about 60+ documented cases, but I think there is underreporting. My dealer alone has replaced 10 so far, which is very high...
  8. GT350R Engine #3 and the problems continue!

    Sadly, I think American car companies have a lot of catching up to do. My M3 has 100k miles, multiple track days and engine was bulletproof! Same stories with my track buddies with BMWs and Porsches. The good news is that Ford is completely standing up to their engines, which is the right...
  9. Engine Replaced due to High Oil Consumption

    Good luck with the new engine. I agree Ford is standing up to these engines in honoring the warranty (I'm on the 3rd one), but the diagnosis and repair appear to be poor, with repeated failures. I'm not sure Ford has its arms fully around the culprits of the problem (you can see my thread posted).
  10. GT350R Engine #3 and the problems continue!

    While I absolutely love the GT350R, I’m pretty much at my wit’s end with this engine and the poor diagnosis being done by Ford. I’m not sure they (Ford Performance) know how to diagnose and properly repair the engine problems, which is really scary.Had 1st engine replaced after the first time...

    Super helpful. This is awesome and thank you for sharing!
  12. Controlling the GT350 Exhaust Valve

    Was on the website and didn't see option for GT350. Did you order the Mustang GT one?Awesome! and thanks! Let us know where you end up mounting the remote for easy access. I'll probably order one of these too.
  13. Controlling the GT350 Exhaust Valve

    Was on the AWE website and didn't see option specifically for GT350. Did you order the Mustang GT one?
  14. Ford Performance Oil Separator

    Seriously! Everyone is talking about what a PITA it is to unscrew the top. Nice & simple!
  15. Controlling the GT350 Exhaust Valve

    Has anyone done this in the Bay Area yet? If so, looking for someone to do the switch solution.
