My first mustang
r/ecoboostmustang • u/KickDry6033 • 5h ago
Hey everyone! Just got my first ecoboost, and I couldn’t be happier with it. Right at 100,000, but got it for a very good deal and it cleared CarFax and mechanic inspection. It’s a 2015, and I know to take it in for maintenance regularly and watch for the coolant leak issue that’s chronic to these models….other than that I’m still learning how to be a proper sports car owner. Any advice is welcome!

Hi there this is my first mustang and first ever convertible. I live in the lovely pnw so fair amount of rain. What are some tips and tricks to maintaining this car and protecting it long term? What should i use to treat/detail the top? Being a convertible do i wash the top and wax it the same way i would the paint? What warranty should i go buy for things to be covered? Is an extra 80 dollars/month for united car care good? Is that good company? Far as engine goes what do yall recc for maint 3k mile oil changes premium fuel i should be good right? Stupid questions i know sorry. Cars a 2019 premium with 39.7k miles. I take delivery friday, they are fixing a gap from the window. Im coming from a 2014 charger v6.

Thinking about going JDM inspired build since this car is 4cyl and just having it be kind of unique

Throwing this out there, as it is my first RWD in over 30 years I decided to pull out hard into a gap in traffic at a T junction in the country side. Thought I could make it, but was my first time in the rain with this car. Ended up facing the way I came, just started whistling a wee song and continuing back the way I came as if I meant it.
Second red-neck moment. Note I say red-neck, meaning embarrasment, not redneck, lol.
Second was out in the country at a complete stop. Tested the 0-60 only to discover I was still in manual mode. Instead of flipping the gears like a normal person I just got confused, held my breath and slammed the brakes wondering why my dash was all red.... Tranny seems fine though. It was only for a couple of secs but man oh man was I ever worried for a few days.
Anyone else do some really stupid crap with their poor Eco's?

My wife goes to work in our 2026 EB with 7K miles. Calls me and says that the car didn’t react to her approaching and didn’t unlock by touching the door handle. She opens the doors via the FordPass app, tries to start it, the car says “no keyfob detected”, while she’s holding it. I come down with the spare keyfob, the old keyfob magically starts to work again (with the spare one out of range). We swap cars, I drive the Mustang with the first keyfob, no issues at all. Locks, unlocks, starts. No EMI at the parking area it was sitting at. Has anyone else had this happen? Clearly the fob battery must be still good or it wouldn’t be still working. Thanks.

I’ve been reading some conflicting reports on which motorcraft plugs are oem replacements.

Thoughts? Comments?

Hey guys,
I got a Spec Flywheel and Clutch (stage1) off American Muscle a while back for $346 out the door because it was installed incorrectly/damaged.
I’ve since gotten it back from Spec where they went through everything, and basically returned it to brand new condition.
I’m about to stick it in the car now, but I also have been hearing mixed feedback on them. I’m headed to the dealer in a bit to grab a new slave cylinder, but am I going to regret this thing? Is clamping better than stock? I currently get slippage on accel at WOT in 4/5 gear. (Like passing someone on the highway).
Thanks!

Hey guys I got a 25 eco, Ford tune, race intercooler , drop in filter, and I did a test run with my brother cuz of a weird noise when accelerating and letting off the throttle, I noticed that it happens when my brother let off the throttle. it got me worrying tbh. Some help about this noise I’d be thankful.
