CoopersShelby Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Has anyone had this problem? I was driving to the store and back, not getting on it, when I noticed rubber hitting my windshield. That was followed by a loud slapping noise. Pulled over, and my SC belt was tore to pieces. I hope it is a simple fix, and not something out of alignment. It just got picked up and sent to the shop. I will contact shelby about the problem. They are also goiing to fix my muffler tips to straighten them out. Keep you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember some of the SGTs had this problem, but I havent heard of the SS doing this. I have only put around 900 miles on it since the SS coversion. michael morris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of GT Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 No problem like that here, although my SC belt does chirp on it's pulley whenever I dump the clutch pedal during an upshift or downshift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoopersShelby Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I was told ford is doing a recall on TVS ford racing SC that were in my run of SC. Bad news. On the bright side, Ford is standing behind the warrenty and replacing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bright side, Ford is standing behind the warrenty and replacing it. Sorry to here about the problem, but it's a great sign that Ford is stepping up and fixing the problem. I have loads of faith in Ford, but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoopersShelby Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I dont know what run of SC they are, but it sounds like alot of the SS done to this point will fall into that category. They are replacing the whole unit. I would contact Bud and see if he knows anything about it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budman340 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Can someone direct Bud to this thread please!!We all need to be updated on this recall/problem!! BUD??? Guys, There is no recall on the blowers. There may have been a couple that were making some noise and only one that I know of actually had a real problem. And yes, it is being addressed now between Ford and us (SAI). I would not panick on this!!!! Out of all the units we put on (I would say somewhere around 100 or more) we have found 2-3 that were a bit noisy (which were changed before they left) and one that became noisy and caused a problem after the vehicle left. I have not heard from anybody else out there who has this unit installed and is having any problems. So, would I say that there is a huge problem out there? NO Have we checked the ones here for any possible future problems? YES And yes, I have forwarded ALL of the serial numbers to Ford so they can check on their end too. I would not worry about it. As for Cooper's car, if it was noisy before it left, it would never have left. He and myself have been working on his concerns and they are being addressed properly and in a timely fashion.

Son of GT Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 But Bud, my SC gets really noisy anytime I floor the thottle pedal. It sounds like the Tasmanian Devil is spining under my hood; is that normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoopersShelby Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Bud and SAI have been nothing but outstanding on this issue. As for the recall, the dealer said ford is going to recall that batch of TVS SC. If this is true or not, it was what I was being told. FYI, my SC never made any unusual noise. Thanks Bud for all your help, you guys are a class act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoopersShelby Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I don't know if there will be a recall yet, but Ford is not sending any TVS SC out until engineering release the hold on them. Again, just what I'm being told. Good thing I have the 605 with a warranty, that would suck if I had the 725 and had to pay out of pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoopersShelby Posted July 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 New S/C being installed today, will be back on the road Thursday. I guess I just got one bad unit. The car was perfect up until the belt let loose. I was just crusin when it let go. The car is beyond words. Bud and SAI are just incredible to work with, no hassle at all. The only two things wrong with the SS in general are (minor) the head rest covers, and (big) the rear wheels need to be much wider like 11". Bad traction issue. But the wheels are stunning. Thanks again Bud and SAI, Im glad my car went all the way to Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
