    The radio symptoms sound similar to when my battery was near death. A bad/weak battery will present itself in many ways, including erroneous engine faults.

    Which battery?

    What do you mean by "update the pcm" when replacing lead acid with agm. I have had an AGM battery in my SHO for years, as well as my Isuzu VehiCROSS before that, and never had to "update the pcm". Are you talking about resetting the BCM? (I never did that either.) Doesn't this apply regardless...

    My SHO days are numbered.

    Oh, I did not miss it... I totally discounted it as arrogant (and irrelevant) name dropping.

    My SHO days are numbered.

    When I said "25" of cable", I meant the length if the 6/3 Romex cable from breaker to outlet. They charge by the distance from the box. I could use the supplied charger on a 240V outlet, but the Ford Mobile Charger (the one that comes with the car) is limited to 32A. The Ford Connected Charge...

    My SHO days are numbered.

    I have a second estimate coming next Monday. The first, from my (ex) favorite vendor was $2500, for JUST the NEMA 14-50 outlet on a GFCI breaker and 25" of cable. I told him to leave my garage and never come back... and I cancelled my MVP subscription! I'm expecting an estimate in the $1200...

    I borrow the SHO, of course! [emoji3] Chances are slim. (Fly, and then use rental car.) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My SHO days are numbered.

    My 2023 Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition Nite Pony is built and scheduled for delivery the week before Christmas. (Santa heard my Christmas wish!) My 2013 SHO will be handed down to my daughter, who currently drives a 2013 Flex EcoBoost.

    Why would the previous owner do this?

    I have had my SHO since 2015 and can count the number of times I have raised the shade on one hand. I think I can add the number of times I have opened the moon roof on that same hand. Add the number of times I have opened the rear windows plus the number of times I have used the auto park...

    2018 Ford SHO Performance Package

    Available options varied after 2013 as supplies dwindled. I think the only definite spec was NO adaptive cruise combined with Performance Package.

    Battery is goin

    I switched to a Diehard AGM battery after my first battery failed, and the cables were corroded and crusty. Since, then no problem with corrosion and the last AGM battery has lasted five years since I keep it on a battery maintainer when sitting for more than a day.

    Funky shifting w/ Livernois 3-bar v11 91 octane tune

    I got my first LMS tune in 2018... Not sure if it was V11 or not. I have no email history showing a request for V11 so I suspect that I ordered my tuner around the same time V11 was created, but before complaints were posted. I experienced all the same issued posted by other victims. I ran...

    Erratic Electronics

    If you keep it in a garage, you should hook up an electronic battery tender. I put mine on as soon as I park. My current AGM Diehard has been great for over three years. My prior AGM Diehard only lasted a couple years I think the AGM battery in my Torino is well over 10 years old. Sent from my...

    Purchasing my first SHO ~ Help

    It has been stated in this forum that for quarter mile racing the PP will want to shift just before reaching the lights, so you lose that last few feet of acceleration. YMMV. I have a non-PP 2013, with adaptive cruise not available with the PP option. My 2013 also has the multi-contour seats...

    2016 SHO Climate Control randomly turns on and off

    Battery? There's likely more load on the electrical system in the morning (cold and/or headlights), when it rains (wipers/headlights), after dark, then during the day. My climate control was misbehaving badly just before my last battery swap.

    Dead battery or something else?

    I bought my SHO in 2015. I bought my first new battery (Diehard AGM) in 2016. I bought my second battery (another Diehard AGM) in 2019. I keep my car on a Battery Minder whenever it is parked in my garage, which is 99% of its life. My Mustang has no AGM battery option that I can find, except...

    Long Time Lurker, First Time Poster...

    Sorry for your loss. My SHO replacement is currently a choice between a '17 MB SL63AMG and a new Mustang Mach-E Performance Edition. The Mustang is the most sensible choice, but the SL has been a dream for years. YOLO.

    Anyone for Name That Whine?

    Sounds like a Kazoo. I would get one of those cheap stethoscopes and listen around for a vacuum leak.
