    What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

    She got a tune up today with new plugs, air and fuel filters, and a fresh oil/filter change. I see that I need new valve cover gaskets so I have a set coming. While I have the covers off I'm going to strip the front of the motor down and clean/paint everything I can and just do a makeover under...

    Bought Mark VII #5

    The interior is in decent shape and it should clean up pretty good, the AC blows cold and the air ride airs up. The first thing I plan to do is get all of the interior out and pressure wash the inside and the carpet. As long as it's been sitting Lord knows what all has been living in it

    Bought Mark VII #5

    Well I bought another Mark VII and this will be the 5th MKVII I have owned. All but one were under $1000 and I sold all 4 for a profit. Yes they're getting harder to find priced under $1000 these days and the ones I do see under 1K they're usually shit boxes. Found this 1990 in Indiana and I...

    Official LS Picture Thread

    I was about to take it off the Jack stands when I got the transmission out and just happened to have a couple Octostar wheels with 245/50s on them sitting in the corner. What the hell I wonder what they'd look like... And other the needing a small spacer to clear the caliper they look right at...

    transmission

    I was finally able to sign into my regular account and I finished my teardown. All of the forward bands and drums looked pretty good, nothing other than normal wear. Got to the rear of the case where 5th and reverse are and the reverse band and drum are smoked, and the reverse planet has been...

    Personal Parts Car at the Scrapyard

    Couple of weeks ago I went to a local scrapyard to check out a 98 MKVIII, it looked nice from the Craigslist ad so I had to go see it. By the time I left the yard I talked myself into a full-time job at the guys repair shop/car lot. I've been a ASE certified mechanic for 20 years but the last...

    What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

    What size are those germanshepard? I have a pretty nice parts car the same color as yours man, kinda of a shame to part this thing out. I think it had transmission trouble and the owner sold it to the junkyard. I now work for the guy and will try to buy the whole car

    JBL or Mach 460?

    Where's the fun in that? I was only asking if anyone had experience with the 2 systems and obviously you're not into free upgrades if possible. Thanks!

    JBL or Mach 460?

    Yeah maybe so but free and still sounds good works for me

    JBL or Mach 460?

    I have a complete Mach 460 Audio setup from a 2000 Mustang and want to know if anyone has had experience with both and Wich is better speaker wise. The 5X7 Mach speakers look like they would sound better but I don't want to take my door panels off if it isn't worth the trouble.

    Traction Control Engaged For No Reason

    I only replaced the rod to LCA bushings, I'll do the frame side soon. And I doubt I'd be able to get the speed sensors off without breaking them. Pretty crusty under there.

    Traction Control Engaged For No Reason

    Great! Haha whatdid you do to fix the problem? Could it be a piece of rust or something stuck to the magnet maybe? Its intermittent like every other time I start it and drive

    Stock Mark VIII with UD pulleys only

    I bet, I'm going to do a few bolt ons like pulleys and new exhaust before I break into the ECM. I cut the stock mufflers off and ran pipe in their place the first day I had it, it sounds pretty good but not duals with good mufflers good. That resonator has to go! Lol
