What broke on my GT350 after 2 years of ownership...

[@potranco999]

Nice video. I bought a 2nd Gen (2019) last November with 6.5k miles on it. It’s a Ford CPO car with extended warranty. It’s loaded including the blind spot, memory seats and B&O stereo. I traded a ‘17 GT with the Shaker. I will say the newer B&O’s are much better with more bass. I have the optional seats and they are cooled/heated and pretty comfortable. Since I’m older and I get in/out several times a day due to my job, I think it was the best option for me. The engine is fantastic along with the sound.., just so enjoyable. I just did a regular x-pipe/resonator delete and it sounds perfect. I put 1k a month on it and thoroughly enjoy it. Get thumbs up almost every day. The programming for the active exhaust is annoying. I wish Ford would have offered options on the settings, but, it is what it is. I will keep this car for years and put 60k+ miles on it. It just puts a smile on your face (every time) when you accelerate through the gears, especially on a nice day with the windows down. Yes, ok, it may not be quite as refined as a German sports car, but, damn, for the money, it is one fine (and fun) naturally aspirated V-8 car. I looked at the Hellcat and a ZL1, but after test driving the GT350, my decision was made... no regrets.

[@austinsautos1919]

I have a CPO too! What an amazing warranty. 100k 7 year powertrain. Its nice to hear the sound system got better with the newer ones. Enjoy the car. Sounds like youre getting some good miles on it.

[@joe34-e46]

Totally understand the sound aspect you talked about. I'm a huge european car guy and love M cars. Last November I gave my M4 back and got a Heritage GT-350 and it is absolutely the most amazing sounding car I have ever heard. Never selling it 😂

new subscriber here. ive got a 2016 myself. ive had it for over 3 years and my father owned it since new before that. i know this video was posted over a year ago but always supportive of gt350 content

[@M3jet]

Well done video. I too have a 17 GT350 avalanche gray and it’s simply phenomenal. Had an M4, got the Shelby and have never looked back. You hit on everything good and not so good about this car but it’s that sheer outrageous race car in your face performance that keeps me grinning since the day I bought it new. Resonator delete and FP high flow air filter takes the sound to a while new level. Love this darn car and hope to never sell. And... if I get 10 comments on this car , 8 are on the color! Had to smile when you mentioned it. People LOVE it. Again... nice job. Subscribed!

[@austinsautos1919]

Haha no kidding. I knew I loved the color when I got it, but I didn’t think so many people would feel the same way. As for selling, I’m going to the grave with it. Haha. Not to mention, I bought mine at the end of 2018 and its worth the same now as what I bought it for.

[@Gallagur-xz6fr]

I have a ‘16, pushing 10k miles with zero issues. That said, I love the idea that the “gen 2” engine is so much more reliable. I’m in a FB group and people with the gen 2’s still have issues. Like catastrophic engine failure at 500 miles, etc. I think it really comes down to proper break-in and continued maintenance/care. If the standard filter is torqued to spec (16 to 18 ft lbs), as stated in the supplemental manual, the filter won’t back off. If you allow the engine to get up to temp before getting on it, if you use the recommended oil and follow the maintenance schedule, etc. they are much more reliable then people think. The recall was related to the oil coolers in the early track-packs, whereby the lines were crimping and prohibiting flow. Other than THAT issue, if you follow the supplement, these engines are very reliable.

[@crivasevo87]

I agree. I believe the people who are having issues with this car are people who do not know how to properly maintain their car. Gt350 is an engineering marvel. But it takes an advanced user to properly own one

[@HeLLLoKitTTyy69]

Thank you

[@dk2853]

Thank you for a comprehensive ownership review. Nice to see someone who daily drives it. I'm getting a 2017 and it's nice to know it has a few improvements over the 16.

[@crivasevo87]

Thank you for your perspectives and thoughts on owing a GT350. I am looking forward to owning one before the end of year. I am glad you love your car and it is apparent. Best of luck to you

[@timmyboy2495]

Excellent overview, man. The avalanche gray is one of the coolest colors on the GT 350 for sure. One of my biggest regrets with mine is that I didn’t get a more unique color scheme. (White with blue racing stripe)

[@THEUrinalCake]

As someone who finds white cars painfully boring and overdone there's no shame at all in going blue on white on a GT350. Even I think it looks great. I'd still choose white on blue or a different scheme given the choice but if a blue on white came my way at a steal I wouldn't think twice to rock it.

[@aaronlapp6070]

Really good video. There's a lot of info here that has been lacking in all the other after x years of ownership videos I've seen.

[@Overlord3420]

I think you mean camber not toe, also the tires they have are a huge reason. They’re not made to last long

Great video and topics. My first major fail on my 17 was the AC compressor going bad at 11800 miles. Out of warranty. Other than that, car is doing good.

You're in Tampa, FL. You just drove by my old apartment at Bayshore. Nice car, man!

[@redwalsh87]

Agree with you on the sound!! and mine is just the stock 350 exhaust. Practical as well, I have a carseat/booster for my two little ones in the back seat and they love riding in it. Got my 2019 with 12,500 miles for 50k in 2023. These have a really stout and great feeling transmission as well, not the MT-82 grenade found in the rest of the fleet.

[@jessicaphoenix1312]

The catch cans are good for your engine. there is one on teh high pressure side and one on the low pressure side to help reduce nasty oil blow back. Don't forget to check them and empty them.

[@woohunter1]

10:00 you are 100% right about getting the car re-aligned to save your tires, especially if you don’t track the car. I would imagine it would be better in the rain too.

[@steveb8883]

Great explanation of the exhaust sound. It is hard to explain. It is the best sounding car ever made. I love mine. I do go through a lot of oil though. I carry a couple quarts on road trips. I am switching to Amsoil on the next oil change. I have heard that it stops the oil consumption. I think these cars are going to be considered one of the best ever built by Ford.

Its seems to be pretty hit or miss on the oil thing. What year is yours? Mine doesn’t burn a drop of oil.

WOW, low miles! I put 30K a year on my daily driver. great video!!!

[@IdrisGuven]

Good, through review. I actually watched the entire thing. There is an active recall for many of the 2019 for reverse lockout issues, so it seems like they've been having issue with the lockout assembly. Just get an MGW, you will thank me, it was by far the best mod I made to my own 2019-gt350.

[@austinsautos1919]

Thanks so much for the feedback! I wasn’t sure how people would take it. Whats the MGW? I still haven’t fixed it yet, so I’ll take a look.

[@rodneybray5827]

Interesting points. I think a shifter is just personal preference. Mine doesn't come loose and I don't mind the standard one. I may try another some day but I seriously have about 1000 other things in my life I'd rather do with my money. I use 6th gear at 40 mph all the time. I'm in a relatively flat area but there are mild slopes and I have zero problems with maintaining speed with minimal pedal input. Yes, the RPM is about 1100 but there's plenty of torque to run that. Agree about the exhaust default to quiet on startup. I use the steering wheel switch though as I want everything in sport mode, which is also a point you don't make that there are no options to default settings on handling (steering and suspension). All of these things should be able to adjust default on startup, not just the exhaust. Also when you are going through the options about 8 minutes in, the car defaults to the list and I also have to change it every time to the gauges. Yet another item that should have a default adjustment.

[@joehayes6414]

I took 1200 mile trip from Indiana to Maine and back when my 2018 was “New” and was MOST COMFORTABLE WITH RECARO SEATS! Was Better than my 2016 GT which had been BEST FOR SAME TRIP! LOVE GT350 for SO MANY REASONS!

[@austinsautos1919]

That magnaride is magical.

[@brianb7940]

There are 3 plastic clips holding the reverse lockout together, definitely cheap. I just installed the same shift knob, and unless your reverse lockout problem is making the collar droop, you can get some more turns on the ball without busting through the top. I counted 14 turns safely, at around 14.5 turns the end of the shaft begins to touch the inside top of the ball. Good news, the reverse lockout cutout is 1/16" deeper on the ball than on the stock knob, so even at 14 turns the lockout should still pull in fine.

[@austinsautos1919]

Yeah I probably should have turned it more, but unfortunately it cross threaded and there was no way to get it to not cross thread. I was so fed up with the default shifter unscrewing all the time that I just basically glued it on there. But I need to replace that lockout. Unfortunately its not the same part as the GT so I think I have to go to the dealership to get the part.

[@rembo183]

I’ve tested one and I agree it’s a great sounding car writhing a very unique sound on both acceleration and slowing down like you noted. I own a 2019 Bullitt and it’s got a great exhaust sound too, but lacks the crackling and popping sounds like yours. I was on the fence re the GT350 since I will never track it plus a new one was $15k more than mine. The 2019 had quite a few upgrades based on my research and I almost got one. Bottom line is I didn’t and I love my Bullitt with the auto rev matching and the digital dash. It’s a very fast car and is excellent as a daily. Love the Dark Highland Green.

[@austinsautos1919]

I love the bullitt! You dont have to explain yourself to me or anyone. As long as you like it thats all that matters. If they made the GT350 in dark highland green it would be the ultimate mustang in my opinion. Love that color.

[@mp01711]

[@Jamesbaker123]

Owned one of these for year’s and i never had that issue with the front tire wear you mentioned. I drove about 16k on New York roads and was just approaching the need of a new set of tires and the wear was pretty even all around, if anything the rears had more wear.

[@coyotesnper]

Shaker is a misconception, I added a 12" to my gt with the "Shaker" system. Use of the term Powerband with a 4 stroke.. Axles are towed appropriately for track day car, as a 350 is a track car.

[@NoBody-tz4fb]

I have 30 on mine, I replaced wheel bearings and the entire shifter component (vibration rattle noise). Also, the catch can prevents oil vapor from getting into the manifold.

Wheel bearings is interesting. Seems quick for those to go out.

I have a 2017 Shelby GT350 I bought new in 2017 as well. Mine is Oxford white with blue stripes. It looks very much like the later heritage edition ( except that car is in new spec with gurney flap rear spoiler and it’s Wimbledon white that has more cream or yellow look in the paint. ( I actually prefer the bright white) That was the original 1965 color. A couple of things I would say about the video. Number 1 I also own a 2018 Porsche 911T both my cars are track versions with focus on light Weight etc. I’m Also very old school so three pedal cars are much more enjoyable to me. I’ve had zero issues with my Shelby with the exception where I live roads are notoriously bad and the Shelby tram lines very badly worse than any car I’ve ever owned. ( it makes up for it in the track. Mostly it’s due to the aggressive camber. You can go to a different tire and improve that I’m Told. Brake dust on the Shelby isn’t a 10th of what it is in the Porsche. The Shelby is pretty much same as my truck and wife’s car so something is up with yours. Next they leave out the amp and sub in the 350 due to weight. ( my son has 2020 GT same radio with subs it has all kinds of thumping bass. They also just give you an aerosol can of basically fix a flat instead of even a space saver spare for same reason. Shift knob I love it. the ergos of that and mine never comes loose somebody had taken it off then put it back on before you got yours I suspect. Hate the stupid valve closing in 6th. At the track the gearing is perfect but top speed everything is in 5th not 6th. They had tremec do ratios esp 6th to meet epa and noise I’m sure. This car is a 5 speed but the 6th is just a highway gear. One thing that happened between 16 and 17. They had a tech and a track pack. The tech pack you could get deluxe cooled seats and the better radio head but you did not get the rear diff and trans cooler. People were tracking them anyway and they would run hot go into limp mode and that corvette you just spent 6 laps passing passes you back and guys were pissed. Most people wanted the better radio but most people buying this car wanted the coolers. By 2017 they just added the money and made them All track packs. Should’ve done from The beginning To further confuse things in the early ones you could get a cheap base but get the voodoo motor that didn’t even have magna ride etc Then the tech pack which had magnaride big brakes all the goodies except coolers. ( std was the recaro seats you could get mustang sports seats too that Had cooling electric controls etc Recaros are better period. my car has luxury ones I want to trade with someone someday. I only have 8k on my Shelby for last 3-4 years it’s only driven occasionally. Lastly relative to the population of the world vs 1965 66 67 mustang Shelby’s By percentage there are way less of these. Think about it. They did keep building these gt350s longer than they were supposed to. you can now get cool rear seat delete kits and roll bars. I have a rattle or two. Still have original tires going to change I am older 64, this car will go to my children because I’ll never sell it. I found it at skillman ford in Indy I live in the southeast so I had it delivered to me I’ll never forget day it got delivered the rear end the side front just looks fantastic to me. I still love my car.

[@forcedinduction5245]

Hey buddy just watched this video dont know how long its been out or if you have solved the excessive brake dust issue. But fyi, you can go with EBC pads that will probably over all work better and almost zero pad dust. Also im not sure if they make them or not but try Ferado they only make pads and they do it very well. Anyway nice vid and even nicer car. Oh and you may find out that there is something wrong with the system .like a cross over burnt out or that portion of the tuner is fubared. Something wrong. My buddys GT has a damn good system in it for a factory set up. And embrace that 6 spd. Its a true 5 spd overdrive. Meaning 5th gear is 1-1 and then 6 gives you the millage. There is something you can do is get the 4.11 gear in place of the 3.73 gear and you'll pick up about 1600rpm at 65 mph. The oil changes are costly because the motor runs Mobil 1 oil. And dont ever run anything but Mobil 1 and it holds almost 8 qrts. And Mobil1 is $12 per qrt. Do the o/c yourself

It wouldn’t be toe out… it would be camber… also u can try different brake pads possibly helping reduce break dust

The exhaust valves shutting off after starting the car I do find annoying. I think it is the way it is because of EPA and rules about noise levels. Someone posted something in the GT350 facebook group about a method on how to make the valve just stay in the last position, but it required knowledge of some OEM programming? Not an easy mod without inside information it seems. For now, I rather have the valve option when I don't want to annoy people. The 6th gear is actually really great. For highway cruising, I'm able to get up to 25mpg. I don't mind it.

Yeah, I’m partial to the C8 styling but no manual is a deal breaker for me. Plus its still the old pushrod engine so until the Z06 its not compelling for me personally.

Also great video!

Good video! I have the exact same one ;)

It does this on the GT too.

Great video

Thank you!

The second catch can confused you. I couldn't keep watching after that.

[@60weHoodsta]

The acuators stay closed when the engine is cold. Until its warm it will automatically keep closing if you are trying to open the baffles

[@austinsautos1919]

The baffles can open if the engine is cold. I was doing it for over a year before forcing them open at all times with the dummy plugs. The baffles default to closed at engine start but due to initial back pressure on start up, the baffles open and close again. Even in quiet mode if you stomp on it the baffles open.

[@shelbyinstigator1727]

That is completely incorrect. Being that wrong I can safely assume you dont own one of these. And if you do, just give it back to the dealership immediately.

[@60weHoodsta]

@@shelbyinstigator1727 I took mines out😁 Relax bro... Its gonna be ok😘 They are just acuators. I didnt put brake fluid in the crank case🤣

You in Tampa I know that road anywhere lol

[@GrimSRT8]

That’s negative camber you’re describing at 9:10, not toe-out. 👍

[@GrimSRT8]

Also, if you are having uneven wear, you should change the camber. You should adjust your alignment to how you drive the car.

[@leoxia3458]

u r lucky to get one without issue

[@austinsautos1919]

That’s possible, but Id venture to say its actually a far lower percentage of owners having issues than you think.

[@nickl8830]

Dude the brembos act the same way on the Mustang GT.

[@jasondemers4389]

the reason your stereo sucks is because you opted for the shitty sound system and you have an older 350...I can tell you hands down the B&O 1000W 12 speaker system is stellar with sub in trunk. The 2019-2020 350s are the most sought after because they have all of the shit worked out and Gen 2 Voodoo.

HAWK BRAKE PADS

[@thomasrouh2258]

This is an engine with completely different camshaft and the crankshaft set-up. It's a flat-plane nothing new to high end high rpm handmade exotics.....This is why you get the sound you do and also why under 3000 rpms sucks.....These coyote motors have come a long way and that's good with input from Shelby American and other genius engineers.....That motor will last 200,000 miles and if your running boost which you are you'll probably need a clutch at around 100,000 miles weather you think so or not.....The sound of early muscle cars is completely different because it's got one camshaft and the cross-plane crankshaft gave better low end.....This is why them the little rice burners sound like an open wheel Formula 1 or Indy style race cars.....Bottom line....keep that pony at 3000-6000 rpms and enjoy.....You will not hurt that design.....

[@rembo183]

Where is this being filmed?

[@rigjiggles7074]

This is frustrating for me. Guy buys track car then complains of the radio but compliments the sound of the exhaust. That’s problem 1. Problem two the guy buys track car and complains of having to maintain the track car ! What an idiot.

[@austinsautos1919]

Two things can be true at once. 1) the maintenance and the stereo suck. 2) I don’t mind and only talked about them for the sake of the video. Its not that serious bud.

[@jg11596]

so nothing "broke"....

[@austinsautos1919]

The reverse lockout broke, but yeah pretty reliable car.

[@shelbyinstigator1727]

Try spending as much time cleaning your car as you do on your hair helmet

[@b0kb0k]

1. that passenger side catch can is NOT a proper 'Ford Performance' catch can. Obviously the driver's side catch can is from FP. The driver's side will likely never fill, the passenger side will. Keep up on that - catch can's are good unless you let 'em fill up. 2. Corsa X-pipe? Cool. I still am not convinced my 2018 needs any exhaust mods, but OK. 3. Shift knob: yes, you're right. I got the Ford Performance GT350 "8 ball" knob and love it... 4. I like being able to be quiet. 5. Brake dust complains = poser complaints. 6. Don't bother with the radio, listen to the engine - turn the radio off. If you want good sound, get a Mustang GT. 7. Agreed... gearing is too tall, especially 6th. This was almost certainly done to satisfy EPA/Mileage BS. 5th is 1:1 - that's your gear. 8. Get a baller track car, expect to replace tires. 9. Ignore the infotainment thing... you bought a track car. 10 & 11: Filters: you bought a bitchin' car with a bitchin' engine - get the right filter. Oil - yeah, again you bought a track car. 10 quarts, $100-ish. Love it. Take your GT350 to the track, record it. You'll love every moment of it and the content will be great.

[@lukasjames4257]

As much as you say you love the vehicle. It sure doesn’t look like it watching this video 🙄 that thing needs to be cleaned sheesh lol come on man clean me

[@austinsautos1919]

My parking spots are in an outdoor carport. I do what I can to keep it clean but the reality is its never clean for longer than a week at a time. I will take responsibility for the interior being too dirty. Got a little lazy after 4 years.
