    Need a new PTU drain plug

    Went to change my PTU fluid, and yada, yada, yada…I need a new drain plug. Does anyone know the specs for these plugs, or better yet, where to get a replacement? I’m not having a lot of luck finding them online.

    EPP CAI IAT sensor installation

    I’m almost finished installing EPP hot pipes and their dual CAI system. Question - How is the IAT sensor supposed to work with the filter? The filter has the small rubber tube sticking out from the heat shield, and I can only get the IAT sensor to fit into that about half of the way. So I...

    Slightest burnt oil smell

    2016 PP SHO. It does have a tune, Stainless Works complete exhaust, JLT oil separator/catch can, and AFE Power cold air intake. Approximately 73,000 miles on the ODO. Over the last few months, when I come to a stop, take off from a stop, start the car, or even turn sometimes, I will...

    2016 PP brake OEM part number check

    I'm looking to replace my brakes, and also to get the new caliper/brackets powder coated. Before I pull the trigger and order everything, I would like confirmation from you brake experts that I'm purchasing the correct parts: 2016 Taurus SHO w/ PP - FRONT DG1Z-2001-F...

    Blew out my inter-cooler pipe

    Didn't think it would happen, but it did. I went to accelerate the other day, and I hear a loud pop from the engine, and for a quick second the RPM's shoot up, but I'm really not moving. As I ease off the gas, the car seems to drive okay, so I slowly make my way back home (only a couple miles)...

    Installed AD torque mounts. WOW

    I emailed Anthony D last week with basic questions about his mounts for my 2016 SHO. Needless to say, within a couple days, they were in my sweaty little hands, and I just installed them today. It was a very straightforward job, so much so that I keep expecting to find I did something wrong...

    Went the Stainless Works route

    I guess you can call this a follow-up thread to my "Which Exhaust?" thread from a month ago or so. I decided to go with the Stainless Works catted downpipes and cat-back exhaust system. I just really liked what I heard on their channel for the complete set-up on a SHO, and the fact that they...

    Which exhaust?

    My SHO is now running: SP-542 spark plugs MSD coil packs 3-BAR MAP 170* thermostat K&N panel filter GearHead tune Now I'm looking to change the down pipes and cat-back. I REALLY would like to use the same manufacturer for both, so my choices appear to be either Livernois Thunderstom or...

    Possible to make engine TOO cold?

    As I'm looking to tune my car, the options being considered encompass using a range colder spark plugs, 170* thermostat, and larger intercooler. Being that I live in the midwest and have winters that get downright brutal, will these changes harm the engine? Make it run too rich? Not be able...

    3 BAR MAP sensor question

    So guys, pretty sure I'm worrying about nothing, but I want to ask your thoughts anyway - I found a 3-BAR at a certain website for $47 dollars. It is Motorcraft part # CX-2231. I know that this part has been replaced (upgraded?) to Motorcraft part # CX-2594 recently, and that 2594 sensors...

    Help with changing RDU fluid

    Can someone please provide me a link to thread(s) on how to change the 80W-90 fluid in my 2016 SHO w/ PP? Or videos? Or instructions? I have the car up in the air, but only see one bolt to remove, and can’t tell if it’s the fill or drain hole?

    Spark plug gap observations

    I changed out the spark plugs yesterday in my 2016 SHO, replacing them with the stock 534 Motorcrafts. The car is at 27,000 miles, I was bored, and it's a relatively easy job, while also providing some insight into how the engine is doing. Here is what I found: When the car had approx 2,000...

    SP-542 spark plugs by themselves?

    So I just picked up the SP-542's because I got them on sale at a really good price that I couldn't pass up. But now I'm wondering if I should put them in or not since my car is completely stock (other than a catback system). Mine is a 2016 SHO w/ Performance Package. I live in the midwest...

    Trans & PTU fluid change

    The SHO is at just about 13,500 miles in its' first year. For a "birthday present", I decided to go ahead and have the transmission fluid changed. I had been noticing the car rolling ever so slightly when putting it in "Park", and along with my driving style, figured it wouldn't be a bad...

    SHO 3.5 EB gripe

    I am coming up on 1,500 miles on my '16 SHO and am a little bit frustrated with the driveability of it. I've noticed that when the engine is cold (i.e., first thing in the morning) the car really seems to drive bad. For example, when I come to a stop and then go to take off, it feels like the...

    Why a longer factory oil filter?

    So I just completed the first oil change on my '16 SHO. I purchased a replacement MC FL-500S oil filter. Upon removing the factory oil filter (stamped only "FoMoCo") it was found to be much longer than the replacement MC. Of all the cars I've ever owned, this is the first time I've found a...

    Finally DONE! Ford Racing catback exhaust

    Just curious if anyone has the Ford Racing Touring exhaust for their SHO: https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-5200-SHOTC I've got it on order, as I've used the Ford catback's before on my Mustangs and they've been awesome. Those kits were manufactured by Borla, but I have no idea who...

    Police wheels work with PP brakes?

    So, I just picked up a 2016 SHO last week that has the Performance Package on it. First thing I noticed right off is that the tires are Pirelli P Zero's. That surprised me because I've only ever seen/heard people talking about either Goodyear F1's or Michelin's coming on the P.P. SHO's. Is...

    Hello

    Hey everyone, I am the proud new owner of a 2016 SHO with the Performance Package. It had 3 miles on the odometer when I took her for a test drive, and is now only up to 150. I absolutely love this car! Unfortunately, when I got it home the first night, I noticed some serious paint blemish...
