@@bigboom4684 yeah, I ended up getting an intake for really cheap but haven't had time to mess with it due to life complications. It never did get worse and half the time it won't do it. I probably won't even change it into next Spring since the car is basically stored for Winter.

@RodknockRhett it will usually only misfire cruising below 3200 rpm

@ mine does it at exactly 63 MPH. Can't remember what RPM that is at but go a little slower or faster and it goes away immediately. Even when it is doing it, you can't tell until you look at the gauges. It must not be fully broke yet but right at the edge.

@RodknockRhett mine never even broke was just sticking on the passenger side

@ that honestly tells a lot though on why the rods snap. If it's sticking, I bet there's some serious torque being put through it to keep it moving. I'd bet mine is sticking exactly the same way.

That's hard to believe. What car/truck do you have?

Almost ready to start on the oil pan. Progress has been slow due to life complications in the last two years. It will definitely eventually be done.

@@davidsalazar8830 it’s pretty hard to say no to a Camaro ZL1 since it is a higher trim over the Mustang GT. But, the Coyote is a stronger stock motor that doesn’t take a whole lot to make big power. Though, a cammed pushrod V8 would sound way more mean. It’s really a preference of looks and sound. I highly recommend driving both and deciding as I haven’t driven a Camaro yet. I nearly bought a 5th gen SS though because I think it is an amazing looking and sounding car. But then I saw Sally…. The rest is history.

The swap is currently in progress. I've been dealing with a lot of life events since I started it so progress has been slow. Here is the link to Brenda's playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLZ91wRhPrZ0fss66mtK5G3IAvQH17HZBs&si=ZS-SLCKMVvumcKQx Currently, I'm almost ready to install a Milidon oil pan. Then, comes steering shaft and AC box. Next will be a wiring harness from Current Performance. Then finally, flexplate and motor mounts. It's a big project for a rookie like me.

@@Peppy34420 definitely looking forward to taking more stuff to them. They did a better job than the dealer that rebuilt Sally did.

Thanks man!

@@Peppy34420 thanks man!

@@deanfarr3249 nope. This was in fact spun bearing. Initially caused by wrist pin failure. There was a bad batch of 4.3s that suffered this. Every shop I took it too rulled out the harmonic balancer. I personally crawled under it and listened around. The noise came from the backmost section of the oil pan. I nearly thought it was a flex plate issue. I just kept driving it because I got tired of fixing it. This was motor 3. The first two where different failures that still lead to spun bearings.

Oh wow I never knew this and I was told these were die hard GM motors just like the 3800 but I guess not

@@deanfarr3249 they are. Just a bad batch were used in between 98-99. I got a 4.3 with 277k on it in my Silverado.

@@Crippledinvegas I almost bought a Park Avenue Ultra before I found Big Bertha. The W body cars are solid too. My Imapala was. The 3.8 is unstoppable. Even with a spun bearing.

@@russellmitchell7219 I have an update video coming. It's for sure the intake on mine. It has gotten significantly worse and the car lacks low end torque. This is a dead giveaway that the IRMC is stuck. It runs great up top and still pulls perfect once the RPMs get up. But down low even in first gear, it is noticably sluggish despite not misfiring. I'll have an update video coming soon on it. Common issue on the gen 2 Coyote. Unsure what I'm doing yet.

Yeah I’m going to do a gt350 intake manifold, throttle body, and intake and go e85

@@russellmitchell7219 I wish we had e85 here. I'm also thinking of a GT350 intake but also keeping it stock and doing boost later on. Unsure yet. I bet your car is going to be a different animal once it's tuned on e85!

Drop the update vid

@@russellmitchell7219 getting ready to do that tomorrow. Been really busy. I'll be pulling the intake and showing where it's broke. Then getting into the plans on what I'm doing to fix it as cheap as possible since I'm pouring most of my budget and time into Brenda.

Some say I was. But I don't recall.🤔

@@nowayjose596 definitely thinking the same. The car is just begging me to put a blower on it. It be like that.🤷‍♂️ Still rulling out the cheaper fixes.

@@RodknockRhett I feel ya but there are too many people with the exact same symptoms/codes that turn out to be the IMRC valves for that not to be the next thing you should check. Even the Ford dealership will check plugs, swap coils (like you did), then pull the manifold (in that order). If you do a search on here for "2015 Mustang GT 5.0L broken driver's side IMRC valve shaft" I bet that's exactly what you'll find. The reason it doesn't throw a code for the valve position and looks ok in live data is bc the ECU can only see that the actuator has moved to the correct position - it doesn't know that the shaft is broken and therefore the valves aren't actually moving in accordance with said actuator. Just trying to save you some time/frustration, but hey, maybe you'll get lucky and I'm wrong 😉

@@bluenaite yeah, spark plugs are eliminated for sure. I'm going straight to the fuel system next. The car is pretty new to have wiring issues. I'm going from easy to hard. Perhaps there's a mouse living in this thing? Those are the original plugs. The fact that it is on just those two cylinders eliminates timing. These Coyotes are super sensitive to timing since it's variable. Definitely, thanks for the list! It will help a lot of people out. Compression is one thing that scares me. Hopefully I never have to test it.

No. I thought the same thing at first.

@@briandecoteau3 🤣🤣

There's just no way. This APU lacks the CPU power necessary for GTA V. Especially with how bloated Windows has gotten since this was recorded.

Hey bro but I overclocked it to 2.2ghz and at lowest setting its playable​@@RodknockRhett

@@testos2701 definitely true! Fuel system is the next stop. I was raised to always start with the easy stuff first. I'm definitely enjoying getting to know the Coyote platform. Such a beast of an engine design. With that comes the complexity.

@@archiqueen_23 Sally is something else for sure.

@@m3m4c thanks.🤣

My last Panther, my Grand Marquis took a combined impact speed of roughly 80MPH and I got out of the car with a few scratches. They’re incredible tanks. Big Bertha was the very next car I bought for a reason.

Such a shame when stuff like that happens, but I'm glad you're okay and that what's said about these cars does ring true.

Either of yours come with a limited slip rear end? I have an 01 F150 that one wheel peels and i definitely prefer being able to spin both tires in my crown vic.

@@xOGKuSh Big Bertha is an open diff. One wheel peels all day. It does drive really well in the snow though even with an open diff. Heavy cars and good tires just grip really well. My Grand Marquis was limited slip. It griped real well.

@RodknockRhett yeah that's my experience too, I just try to keep the salt off mine. The front fenders have the some rust, the usual. I should probably add my car has had pretty much replaced on it you can replace engine wise, a lot of which I did just cause I enjoy the car and the car is fully changed over to Amsoil fluids in the rear diff, transmission and engine oil. That I'm sure plays a big role in why I get the mileage I get. I have a friend with a 2010 and he doesn't get anywhere near what I get but he doesn't maintain his much.

I mean I did it but it was not really “new” in a big sense and definitely isn’t being daily driven. That’d be Sally, my Mustang. I can’t comprehend those that do it for their daily driver.

Man, you should post a video on that car. That's amazing. Really cool.

I'm not worried about the body right now. I just want to patch the frame. Cosmetic stuff can come in the future. I've been looking for a Town Car to replace this one. They're getting expensive. I'll be spending at least $2k for one with a good frame. They're getting expensive.

It had just been traded in according to the history. There's also a possibility that it was done by the first dealership. It was there for a year as a brand new car. And returned to that dealership to sit even longer after just over 3,000 miles.

🦆🦆

@@RodknockRhett i don't get it

I thought about getting a motorcycle but ended up deciding on a fast car for my throttle therapy. That's crazy how young your car is. I don't believe mine is going to still be at 2,500 miles a year soon. I enjoy it too much.

@@RodknockRhett i enjoy mine too its my first manual car so im still getting better at it but I really love it because there is so much you can do with it to make more power. Also this is the first yellow 2017 ive ever seen your car looks amazing !

@@DillRust thanks man! She's definitely got character but also looks so good!

While it is a 2017, the car was built and put on sale in 2016. I estimated roughly 250 miles a year. Of course with me owning the car, that’s probably going to change.

I just now spotted my mistake. Forgot a zero. It should be 2,500 miles a year. Thank you for bring that to my intention.

@@RodknockRhett haaaaa no worries!

I mean I worry about dents. I still care about this car a lot. But she has reached maximum depreciation by the time I bought her in 2020.

It would be worth it if I had the budget to do so and the space. But right now, I got two project trucks to finish and I really need to get property down the line. I bought this house not knowing my car hobby was going to grow so much. I look forward to the future. If things change and I get the budget, time, and space before she’s decommissioned, I’ll do it. Love this car.

Also spray inside of the rockers, if you can't get access just drill a pinhole and fill them up. Fluid films some good stuff.

@@ninevoltmodz4687 if I can stop it from spreading to the control arms, I'm sure she can be on the road for awhile. But a total restoration wouldn't be able to happen until I got to a point in my life where I could actually do it. I'll see what I can do. It's just so close on the driver's side lower control arm that's it's scaring me a bit.

They aren't too pricey. But finding a clean one is getting harder up North. They're definitely worth it though.

Oye, im definitely keeping mine, never sat in anything more comfortable in my life@@RodknockRhett

Still lots of nice garaged or southern Panthers out there, they’ll be around for decades.

If I had the budget to save this car, I would've in a heartbeat. I mean body panels are simple. It just isn't feasible at the moment. I fully understand the sentimental value. Big Bertha is like home to me. Man, I wish I could save her.

@@RodknockRhett first car i fell in love with had a case of rot. wanted to fix it so bad, but i was young and ignorant, didn’t have the know-how or capital to get started so it just sat pending work. then the owner had a falling out with me and junked it out from under me. learning to accept loss will save you lots more than me, since I haven’t gotten over it lol and it’s objectively a problem.

Yeah, it is sad. Especially the fact that we still haven't found something that can simply melt ice and not destroy vehicles. I wish I would've undercoated but I didn't. I regret it. This car has been a great machine.

Lmao nice car man, it’s the other Rhett. Love these cars. NUCLEAR BANANER

HOSS SHET DAG NABBIT I FCKEN GETTON TOO OLD FCKEN DEPRESSED HAD TO FCKEN DO IT DEAL TOO GOOD

@@RodknockRhett I GET IT, NOW BLOW OUT THAT TRANNY SO YOU CAN PUT A TR6060 IN IT GOBBBLESS (hope it doesn’t blow lmao honestly the trans issues in these are scary, but they really are great cars. I kinda regret not buying one brand new)

I have a video dropping here soon about Big Bertha's future. It hurts me but it is what it is. She's at 230,511 right now and climbing every day. She's a beater in the sense of her purpose. I love this car a lot.
