#8 cylinder and mt82
#3
This should be interesting....
I agree about the tune. All I know is what I have read here but all the evidence about #8, internet evidence, points to some poor decisions by a select few tuners very early on.
On the mt-82 others know when the TSB's were issued which probably means that at about that same date as the TSB Ford changed their procedures on the line for producing the trannies and cars. I know nothing other than that and that's all here say.

The #8 issue seemed to be related to bad custom tunes early on, so you should be ok on that. The MT82 issues have been fixed over a period of time, so you'd have to look up each TSB to get an idea of when things were fixed.

And how long have those threads been active? Haven't heard of a #8 issue for probably 3 months now.

Do not believe anyone from AFM. John Matero is banned there. He came back with a new SN and open thread like that everyday. Those 2 threads are started by brand new users. I would not be surprised if that is him. My 12Gt is almost a year old. Mt82 shifts just like day 1, not one single problem.

I am not saying every one of those threads are stated by J.M. You have to go hmmmm when new user's first post is mt82 trashing. When J.M was banned there, he has 5 screen names that was banned at once. Just goes to show what kind of a loser he really is. Even since he is banned, every other day some new user starts a mt82 problem thread. Don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out what is going on. Unfortunately some legit user with problems are brushed aside as a result of J.m and his trolls consistently trolling AFM.

Hi, I originally started the thread. I am a new user but do not have aliases under which I post. I am not bashing mustangs and as a matter of fact have a 12 race red standard GT on order. I placed the oreder on Jan. 5. However, a week after placing the order I saw the exact same car as being in the new inventory on my dealer's web site. The car is listed there but is not in stock. The sticker would indicate that car was made in May 11. I have not spoke to the dealer but am wondering if he just found another car rather than ordering. In the end it makes little difference to me. Again, I was just wondering if issues mentioned in the forums were addressed during the production cycle. Clearly from the first response, #8 cylinder is a result of aftermarket tuning. Fine. However, the mt82 is enough of a problem to warrant a tsb. I was just asking people's opinions if was better to have a car produced after a certain date.
