    Lincoln met a ditch, need advise...

    As the title states, I went off the road, and hit a ditch with the passenger side of the vehicle. The airbags deployed, there was damage to the passenger fender, the turn signal and from what I can tell without having torn it down, the radiator support. Now, the big damage was to the k-member...

    Dumping oil when started...

    Thankyou guys for all your help. I finally got around to replacing the oil filter adaptor gasket and while i was in there I replaced the thermostat and oil pressure sender. The "thermostat" that was in the car was gutted, which I guess explained why it never heated up all the way. Now, a few...

    Dumping oil when started...

    From what I stated what does it sound like? I feel like with the crank seal and pan gasket it would constantly leak.

    Dumping oil when started...

    I just moved to a house with a driveway, so I just noticed this. It's leaking from the front of the engine, doesn't leak when car is off, but it does when started, once the car heats up it doesn't leak. Either front crank seal, pan gasket or oil filter adapter gasket, I'm hoping the latter as I...

    Just bought my first Mark VIII

    Ok, so about a week ago I finally got around to replacing the o2 sensors, what a PITA! I decided to drop the exhaust (which by the way is one solid piece from the manifolds back) but luckily I did, turns out the drivers side converter had broken up. I ended up doing the unmentionable to both...

    Can't find a definitive answer for motorcraft o2 part number(s) for 95

    This is for a 95. I've read dy649 & dy661 are the ones to get but I've also read 2 dy721's are what I need. Yes, I know its a pain in the butt to change them, yes, I know I need to go with motorcraft, I've researched. Just need to know part numbers. Thank you in advance.

    Just bought my first Mark VIII

    I'm going on vacation next week so I haven't bought new o2's or a fuel pump because I've been saving money for said vacation (I'm doing both these things as soon as i get back. However, I found a good deal on a used chip from a car with about the same mods as mine and I couldn't pass it up. Now...

    Just bought my first Mark VIII

    Ok, I fixed a small Vac line that was broken, and got the intake tube gasket I needed. Cleared the codes, 172 175 and 176 came back. Would replacing the O2 sensors be my next logical thing to replace? Ive done some research about these codes but i haven't found a thread that says a solution...

    Are strutmasters worth it for cheap?

    Are the struts any good compared to a autostore replacement? Possibly stiffer? Would the springs be any stiffer than the V8 T-birds? I'm really just looking for a firmer ride.

    Are strutmasters worth it for cheap?

    A 98 mark popped up in the local pick and pull, it was in pretty rough shape and about the only thing i could use off it is a almost new looking set of strutmasters front and rear. My car is already on cut V8 T-bird coils, I like the lowered look. Is there a way to tell if this is the lowered...

    Cleared codes last night. 175 and 176 came back today.

    Just bought my first Mark VIII

    So I figured out that you can just use a jumper wire and pull codes. Here's what I got, 172, 175, 176, 189, 524, and 543. Sounds like I've got some some bad O2 sensors, and possibly faulty fuel pump? Any suggestions from those of you that have dealt with any of these codes? Also, I did notice...

    Just bought my first Mark VIII

    I appreciate all the responses. I'm gonna look into getting a custom chip as I've heard they do wonders on these cars. Iv'e done a little research and it seems that BOC is who i should go to? What would be the total cost for say a 2/3 program chip? I'm gonna try to search about the wire to cut...
