    Will this be the new 2015 Lincoln Mark 8 ?

    Ford Inside News learned the RWD Lincoln should be powered by a member of the Nano engine family, most likely a 2.9-liter EcoBoost V-6. Also, the Lincoln coupe would have a slightly larger wheelbase. As for the name, a Mark Series nameplate would seem appropriate, as nearly all previous Lincoln...

    Gen2 to Gen1 Air Compessor interchangable?

    As some of you know my, Gen1 air suspension went out. Got her back on the road 7 days after it happened by replacing the bad compressor relay with a good one.

    W3z2 ecu

    Swapped out my Z4H0 ecu off my '94 to a W3Z2 last night. After driving the Mark last night and today, the W3Z2 ecu seems to be more lethargic than with the one that came with the '94. I am wondering if there is some kind of ecu learning period that would adjust to your driving style, like...

    There are other good brands out there but I've been using Liqui Moly Synthetic in my other DD car for a while now. I am seeing at least 2-3 mpg highway improvement with Scarlet. My Marks have been using Castrol* motor oil since I've owned them. I finally ditched Castrol* since I'm not...
