Ford GT

The mid-engined supercar, built in two short runs three decades after the GT40 it refers to, and the two are entirely different cars. The 2004-2006 car is aluminium with a supercharged 5.4 V8 closely related to the modular engines in the trucks of the period. The 2016-2022 car is carbon fibre with a 3.5 EcoBoost V6 — the same architecture as the F-150's, which surprises people and is the single most useful fact about it, because engine material from that far more common vehicle genuinely applies. Both were built in small numbers and sold with restrictions on resale, so most are low-mileage and their faults tend to be of storage rather than of use.

Service information

Information, not instruction

CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.

Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:

  • The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
  • What you measured, not only what you replaced.
  • What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
