      Just hit 200,000 miles on my ‘19 Stinger GT. Only
      Issue so far was a recently replaced oil sensor. I have no mods except suspension Eibach Sway Bars/Springs, and wheels- 20” square setup. The car continues to be excellent!. Red interior and has not shown fade or wear and only a little on steering wheel. Exterior just stone chips on paint which is probably the only part that could be improved(Black). Seems to chip easy compared to my other vehicles. Hope the rest of the Stinger owners have the same luck! Goal
      Is 300,000 miles…we will see

        2019 stinger GT all-wheel-drive 40,000 miles and our other 2019 GT two with 60,000 miles have both had torque converter leaks from the transmission Bell housing covered under warranty but a real pain in the ass takes nearly a month to get the car back anybody else experiencing this what are the odds both our stingers fell victim to this leak?

          Hey All,

          I’m new to these forms so I apologize if this is in the wrong place.

          TL/DR: I have no clue how to safely provide switched 12V power to the LEDs in my steering wheel since I was given raw wires and no instructions from the seller.

          I recently got an aftermarket steering wheel for my Stinger that has LEDs. The LEDs are powered by a 12V wire, but I’m unsure of what to tap into. The seller is extremely unhelpful and suggested I take it to a professional, but I’ve already installed the wheel and don’t really want to bring it in if this is simple. I’ve seen people say you can use the headlights wire, but then the LEDs only work at night. I’ve also seen people tap into the heated steering wheel wire for switched power, but I’d prefer an alternative where I don’t need to use heated steering. On other cars, I’ve seen people tap the horn wire, but they report battery discharge issues. I don’t really need heated steering at all so I guess I could just leave it disconnected besides the LEDs if possible? On that note, my wheel also has 4 raw wires for heating, which the seller says I should just plug into the factory adapter after removing the old wires. Has anyone done this? Seems easier than the LEDs but figured I’d add it here in case anyone has input. I’m not sure how to upload pictures, as the two hosting sites I tried did not work in the upload box on this site, so please let me know how to go about that if pictures would be helpful!

            Alignment says everything in the green. Air pressure 30-32lbs. Michelin PS4S 265/35 on factory wheel. The only "suspension" mod I've done is sway bars.

              I just got a 2018 gt2 with the 3.3tt and it’s awd. I got the car with a blown motor and I’m now in the market for a motor lol. When I was looking I found that the awd motors are a lot harder to find and cost about 2k more. From my understanding the long blocks are the same. So in that case can I just buy a motor that came out of a rwd and put it in my awd without modifications? Thanks in advance!

                    2020 GT2
                    - K&N CAI

                    - MBRP catback exhaust

                    - DC Sports Mid pipes

                    - Single ADD W1 Catch Can

                    - JB4 with EWG wires and fuel wires (JB4 was recently installed on January 31, 2026)

                    - Brand new ignition coils

                    - Brand new HKS plugs gapped to 0.022

                    - I only use 94 octane or 93, no lower

                    - Running MAP 1

                    So around 2k rpm or a little lower sometimes CEL comes on and power cut until I turn the car off and on again and when stopped and coming to a stop once CEL is on car shakes a lot. Seems to happen when going up a hill in low rpm’s. But today it happened just cruising and rpm’s were again around 2k rpm. No codes get thrown unless it happened again within a short amount of time. Codes have been misfires from different cylinders. But when the code shows the cylinders that it’s saying it is aren’t always the same as the last time the code popped up.

                    Another issue, could be related but I don’t know. But when stopped and when CEL isn’t on, sometimes rpms will sit high around 1k making a revy sound like it’s idling night. And occasionally car will shake (not usually when rpm’s are around 1k idle.

                    All these symptoms happened before JB4 and was told JB4 would help. It didn’t. Not with these issues anyways.

                    Trying to diagnose it as much as I can before going to a dealership. Since I am modified I’d into refrain from going to a mechanic. Especially because obviously I don’t want to undo everything so I don’t void warranty. Especially since those symptoms happened before modifying it. Except for the first part of this txt. That seemed to maybe happen somewhere around when I did CAI and exhaust stuff.

                      Hi folks, I'm excited to take her on the final roadtrip in my bucket list (NC500).

                      I'm planning on going in March and aiming to be back home before the kids are released from school.

                      I'm hoping to alternate between hotel and car camping for a balanced budget and experience. My only worry is getting a flat as I have patch kits but hoping I get signal for the AA incase I breakdown.

                      I really want to do the apple cross pass but given the size of the vehicle, I might skip.

                      Given the 300mile range I think I'm safe without a petrol can as I will fill up as much as I can between towns

                      Starting in Inverness, 7 days counter clockwise.

                      Let me know if you have any tips for this trip.
