    MRT Axle back exhaust

    Not impressed. Sorry. I still don't think it's possible to make the 3.5 EB sound "good", as in V8 throaty. I recall putting a "Cherry Bomb" on my mother's slant six Plymouth Duster. That lasted only a few days until I donated it to my friends SBC Impala project.

    Plastic Pan Under Engine Ducts Not Open

    My daughter drives a '13 EB Flex, so I'll have to get her to look at hers. Of course, that's just another source of dirt for the engine compartment.

    Plastic Pan Under Engine Ducts Not Open

    I just checked, and my 2013 non-PP also has those "scoops", but they are closed. Funny I never noticed.

    LMS 3 bar V11 93 bounces off rev limiter

    I was hesitant to install a tune on my SHO because I didn't want to do data logs, and I was leery of LMS's arrogant attitude. But, after a couple years, I felt that LMS had earned their "arrogant" reputation, and I sprung for their V11 tune. I was very happy with it, until I experienced the 1-2...

    Radio & Climate controls going crazy

    Just to add my two recent battery (I think) issues. I started my car to go get gas and groceries the other day, and my left info screen popped up a message that I was Low on Fuel - 0 miles to empty. I knew this was not true, as I had just gotten back from a short road trip and had half a tank of...

    LMS 3 bar V11 93 bounces off rev limiter

    For those keeping count, you can add me to the list of LMS users have V11 shift issues. It is intermittent... maybe temperature related, since it shifted fine (hard) when first installed in May 2018. Then one day a few months ago it refused to shift 1-2 until I let off. I reverted back to stock...

    Sync3 unit failed to power up

    Is it the original battery? Three years on an original Motorcraft lead acid battery is typical. When mine died the first symptom was failure of the entertainment system to boot up "to save battery power". I keep my SHO on a Battery Keeper all the time now since I don't drive it that much. Also...

    radio code?

    Will I need softer spring/shocks to install THIS in my SHO? Vinyl is making a comeback! I dropped my Sirius/XM subscription this year, after 14 years, in favor of a USB drive.

    Check your battery!

    The positive battery terminal should be added to the used car buyer's list of things to check. My '13 SHO had the same corrosion when I bought it. Fortunately, I was able to clean it up enough with baking soda to get a good connection. Replaced the battery with an AGM version (Sears Diehard)...

    2016 PP Oil Leak

    I bought one from my local dealer for my '13 SHO for $5.25. BB5Z-00817-A They are also available on eBay. Google that number.

    Agate Black?

    Not with THAT grille! But, I agree about the color. I would only have a Tuxedo Black SHO.

    2017 SHO keys locked inside

    I would be totally screwed if any of those things happened to me. I have no spare key, and my keypad does not work. I've gotten out of my car a few times while it's running, but I always have the fob in my pocket.

    SHO us your wheels

    That's exactly what I did for my daughter. She was considering a Mazda CX-9, but I found this 2013 White Ecoboost Flex for less money with ALL the bells and whistles! She loves it...still!

    Performance battery options

    I put a Sears Diehard AGM battery in mine when the lead acid died in May 2016. I always try to go AGM to avoid the corroded battery cable (which mine had), as well as the maintenance required. Other than a couple times when I had not driver for a few weeks, it has performed flawlessly (shuts off...

    Black or White

    Tuxedo Black! I would probably own a Mustang GT today if it had been offered in Tuxedo Black, instead of plain black. I bought a 2013 Tuxedo Black Fiesta for my grandson, and fell in love with the color. Black is easy to keep clean if you never drive the car, keep it in the garage, and use a...

    Underhood Noisemaker?

    My daughter drives a '13 Ecoboost Flex. Maybe I'll swap parts next time she visits and see if either of us notes a difference. For $150 I expect something for my investment other than looks.

    1/4 turn nuts for splash shield

    I bought one from my local dealer for my '13 SHO for $5.25. BB5Z-00817-A They are also available on eBay. Google that number.

    Battery choice

    The battery cables on my '13 SHO were badly corroded from the lead-acid battery when I bought it three years ago. When that Motorcraft battery died less than a year later I replaced it with a Diehard AGM. I had already cleaned up the battery cables, and sprayed them with protectant, so no more...
