I tried doing searches on this forum but didn't come up with much that was applicable. what key words did you use to find the posts?

I have a 1994 Mark VIII, with the airshocks replaced with spring kit. does anyone know how to fool the compuer to think that the airshock system is ok? I get a message to check the air ride system.

OK. good enough. I will try it. I was just cleaning the rust and dirt out of the lens and casing. there are some stuborn rust stains to remove. next I will start the template and chroming. When i bought this car people were laughing at its condition. Now as they see the car coming to life...

Head light project 93' Blue on blue I saw the outline of your headlight refurb project, and it is fantastic. I am following your lead and attempting to refurb my '94 mark VIII headlights, but not as far as the HIDs. I saw in the post that you used Trimbrite chrome tape. I purchased some...

Nice run. I looked at the pictures you posted, and I see abig difference compared to my M VIII. Especially engine and exhaust. did you make mods?

VR4, You say dont worry as if the lincoln will stomp the stang GT. do you know what kind of times are typical of a '94, M VIII?

From what she showed me, my guess is about '96. Is there an engine difference of the 4.6 for the 2 cars? and how much diff in the body weights in the 2 cars performance?

The front universal joint was badly worn, at 60 mph started getting heavy vibrations. found out that middle of the 2 DS hangers was wearing away at the DS. I suspended the rear end and spinned the wheels to check for what and where the noise was coming from and the shaft broke. The shaft is NOT...

Good luck. I am using jack stands to do this work, I don't have the luxury or better yet the connections to a lift. I will try to get pictures and some detailed procedure while I 'm doing this, to pass along. I recently had to change the drive shaft out, it broke in half, and there was not...

I am pretty sure it is the oil pan gasket, as I saw it leaking at front of engine at the oil pan. while the weather was cold the oil spilled out until the engine heated up. Now in the warm weather the leak is not so severe.

Chickenviii I tried that site but it was down. I have a hoist, jack stands, floor jacks, ramps, compressor, etc. MediumD Once supporting engine will this giveme access to the motor mounts? I don't see any way to get to the motor mounts. Jamie97lsc As far as I can see right now...

Does the exhaust need to be disconnected or any other systems?
