    TCI Auto ratchet shifter

    It's always been my understanding that manually shifting an automatic (as you would with a manual) is not recommended with the exception of engine braking while towing. These ratchet shifters are very cool but is their use bad for your transmission?

    Custom Tune Gremlins!!

    I've been using Marathon 93 octane. Scary to think that Marathon's gas isn't quality gas. If this is true, could I be looking at possible engine damage as a result of the octane level be lower than it should be?

    Custom Tune Gremlins!!

    Update!! Well, before returning the car to the stock tune and taking it to the dealership for a checkup I decided to try something. I tuned the car to the 91 octane performance tune while using 93 octane fuel (haven't found 91 in my area). My mpg's rose 4-5 gallons per, and all other symptoms...

    Custom Tune Gremlins!!

    I want to thank you all for your suggestions. I fixed the hose problem, cleaned the MAF and TB, reset the ECU, reloaded the tune, checked for sticking plates, lit candles, threw salt over my shoulder, and prayed to the Stang Gods:hail2:. No change at this point. I'm beginning to think I may have...

    Custom Tune Gremlins!!

    Yes I did try reloading the tune. No change. But I did get under my hood at lunch and spotted what may be an issue. It appears that the hose running from my C&L CAI (by the throttle body) to the valve cover is may be collapsed. Could this be my gremlin? I'm at work so I can't try that fix yet...

    Custom Tune Gremlins!!

    Dave at Brenspeed got back to me and suggested I may have a dirty throttle body. He pointed out that tunes do not change over time. I'm inclined to agree, so this may not be a custom tune problem at all. He did not address my decrease in mpg or my power lag issue. I sent him a reply to see if he...

    Custom Tune Gremlins!!

    I did try resetting the ECU. Unfortunately it didn't help. Shot off an email to Brenspeed last night. I'll relay their suggestion(s) once I hear back from them.

    Custom Tune Gremlins!!

    OK, on my 06 GT (auto) I have a C&L Racer CAI and am running a Brenspeed 93 octane tune. Been running this setup for about a month now. It seems as though my performance has gotten a little sluggish and lost some pep since I first installed the tune. Additionally, My trans feels as though it's...

    Insects under the hood!

    OK, I know this will sound strange but I have this weird kind of mid-range pitched buzzing insect wing like sound coming from the center of my dash or directly behind the fire wall during acceleration at ~25-40 mph. It sounds like some kind of insect I've heard in the woods. I have an 06 GT...

    Tried to change my spark plugs!?!

    Excellent:nice:. Glad the tool worked out for you. Sure is a nice alternative to the ~600.00 alternatives. That's just nuts IMO.

    HELP!! Installed custom tune and now won't start.

    I love the new setup. The car is very lively now. I'm using the Brenspeed 93 tune. I started with the 87 octane tune (still had some in the tank) which was a big improvement over the stock tune, especially with throttle response and shift points. But the 93 tune took everything and then some to...

    HELP!! Installed custom tune and now won't start.

    The advice was fine. It was the installer that was subpar. Never dealt with one of these animals before. I honestly or ignorantly didn't realize the MAF had to face a certain way. All I had to do was turn the housing around and all was good. The MAF will only fit in the housing one way. C&L's...

    HELP!! Installed custom tune and now won't start.

    I think my wife :fuss: would agree with that!

    HELP!! Installed custom tune and now won't start.

    Kudos to St Francisco for the MAF sensor suggestion. I did have it backwards. The car runs great now. The Brenspeed 93 tune is a blast. Can't wait to try Bama's race tune now. The only problem I think I'm going to have from this point on is curing my newly acquired mod fever, if there is a cure...

    HELP!! Installed custom tune and now won't start.

    Well I installed a C&L Racer intake along with a SCT custom tune via Brenspeed today on my 06 GT auto trans. Now my car won't start. It turns over and revs up to ~1500 rpm and immediately stalls. I tried returning the car to the stock tune and and the same thing happens. Any ideas. I've double...

    Airbag recall on 06's.

    Thanks. It was the update that had me concerned. I've got no idea if they updated my code or not. I'm going with your suggestion. It makes perfect sense. Are you using VMP? I have heard they are good tunes as well. By the way, your car is absolutely sick. I love the look.

    Airbag recall on 06's.

    Yes, I am referring to the passenger seat issue. The recall # is 08C02. I read that the fix involved a reflash to correct the issue. Two dealerships confirmed this when I talked with them. There is also an update from PCM code VDX1 TO CODE SRV0. Bama has a good sticky on this, which also...

    Airbag recall on 06's.

    Airbag recall on 06's and PCM code!! Recently took my 06 gt to the dealership for a reflash to correct the airbag issue per the recall. My question is would this be noted as fixed when looking up my VIN on Carfax or the Ford owners site? My problem is that my PCM code is VDX1. I know that there...
