    Dead transmission

    If you pull the trans dont bother dropping the gas tank.... Its a huge pain in the ass and you dont have to. Mark where the yoke meets the drive shaft so you can put it back the same way. Then go in the back and crack all the bolts that go from the drive shaft to the rear end loose, now go in...

I have a brand new pump also and the same problem but mine takes a a couple hours to bleed down to about 28psi and I end up with a long crank before starting. But if I cycle the key...

    Traction Control Engaged For No Reason

    You could try cleaning them and the tone ring, in case you're lucky and its just dirty. Use brake clean and a brass brush to clean up the tone rings and look for cracks, you can use a thin lint free rag and brake clean to clean the sensor itself. I eventually got a used some from a guy whose...

    Protier Industries Front Air Shocks - Any good?

    For about the same price you can get the Westar front Air Struts at Autozone For 175 each, they come with the solenoids installed and they have a lifetime warranty. I replaced all 4 bags and the compressor on my 94 Mark VIII and Ive had no trouble at all with them. My car is daily driven and...

    Do adco Sway bars Fit

    Im paying someone to replace my sub frame on my Mark VIII the repeated failure of Moog Strut Rod Bushings has actually beat the hell out of it and also changed the shape of the hole they sit in. So needless to say I will be buying the $200 strut rod kit with Ford parts and Stainless sleeves...

    Dead transmission

    Could he be having an electrical issue? Seems odd that the transmission would just drop dead without any warning signs before it did?

    #7 cylinder swallowed a valve last night - '98 Mark VIII - swap, rebuild or junk?

    My dad had a BMW that gave me a hard time getting the old spark plugs out. I didnt know that on an aluminum head tightening and loosening the spark plug over and over to get it out can damage the threads. So a week later he had a spark plug fly right out of it. I ran a spark plug tap through the...

    Question about Subframe and Strut Rod Bushings

    I have a 94 Mark Viii, and unfortunately I hit a big curb the other night I didn't see. The front end was new and even had new Ford strut rod Bushings and the stainless sleeves... The guy who attempted to fix it said the bushings collapsed on the passenger side, so he replaced it with Moog...

    Question about dropping the Subframe

    I didnt notice it last night, but I see it now. Your bolts go in through the front, when I took apart the other car the drivers side went from the front but the passenger side went front the back. The only reason I remember it was the disaster the passenger side was to remove and the fact that I...

    Considering A Mark VIII? (Thinking Out Loud)

    I think guys misunderstood me you can get real front air struts not a spring conversion from autozone using a 20 or 25% coupon they send you by email once a month for 175 each and they come with the solenoid and have a life time warranty... Its probably the best buy you can get...
