    Transmission issues 4r70w

    Did you check the transmission wires/wire connector? From xtriggerman's response: "seeping trans oil from seals had gotten the wires to the trans connector wet. The oil turned the wire insulation to a chalk like substance that flaked off with any movement to the wires at all"

    Possible head gasket or just air lock?

    Thanks Xtriggerman! Greatly appreciated. I too was concerned about the water. Thought it might freeze in the block. He didn't want to test drive with low coolant and didn't have any. Don't know if it was distilled water. I figured If I buy it, I would just change coolant using the coolant vacuum...

    Thermostat housing

    Do you live in an area that uses salt in the winter? If so look underneath at the left front driver side between rad and your ABS pump. Between front left wheel and bottom left rad area, there is a air pump hose that connects to a second hose. Its connected by a metal coupling or air hose...

    Possible head gasket or just air lock?

    Hi Everyone! Looking at buying another M8 with 107k miles. These are beautiful rides! Only issue with this new one is random overheating.

    Junkyard deal

    Far better deal than in Canada. We have a all you can carry for $75 CAD, but you have to carry it out of the yard. I'm looking at a pic yard and just the transmission is $250CAD, if I lay on the ground and remove it.

    what wires to jump to see dash light up milage without key?

    Hey all, I've been on the hunt for a transmission for mu 98 M8 for some time now. Not too easy to find here. My baby has 152k miles and the salt here has not been kind to her. It made holes in the fenders and quarter panels, rusted 3 of my brake lines and the gas tank leaks if filled full. Still...

    Power door lock actuator replacements?

    Where to find lock actuators? Searching in threads said they are easy to find and cheap, though that thread was in 2005. If anyone can let me know where to find door lock actuators (motors) one at RockAuto is close to $500 CAD. And window motors be greatly appreciated. I checked the Tech...

    Front brakes locking up

    Hi Everyone, Has no one posted in this M7 forum since August 2023? Our 91 LSC SE has been sitting for some time. The front brakes stop fine but are sticking quite a bit. Can't drive for more than 5 min. and smoke can be seen from the front driver's wheel (the one I replaced rubber brake hose...

    1993 mark 8 has gone crazy.....

    One thing to watch is the temperature. Mine would not drop unless it was 45 degrees or lower. The colder the quicker the drop. Raising the car with the switch off wouldn't cause the issue. Unless maybe that with raising the one of the bags got caught on debris and it damaged one of the bags...

    1990 Mark VII stereo question

    Hey did you ever get this sorted? We have a 91 and it came with the JBL optional sound system, Ours came with a CD player. I removed it and installed a tape deck, so I could play cassettes and mp3's. Most stock decks from that time period work with the JBL system. If you didn't get this sorted...

    400 whp with turbo for $3945, including the price of buying the Lincoln Mark VIII !

    They took apart of the motor. They said they knew of large amounts of oil leaking before the run. Why would they not investigate the leak first and fix the oil leak/s before taking the car to the track? They also said he was running 17 lbs of boost with his first run. They knew better of that...
