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...

That looks good Driller what's under the hood and what's she run?

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

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...

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...

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...

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 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

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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

Who did the tune? And if you don't mind how much was it?

That's pretty good for just the pulleys, so when you say it was tuned did they get into the ECM or just do plugs and a tune up type work? Is it 100% stock other than pulleys? What plugs and wires are on it?

I read this after I posted it and it would have to be the speed sensor, there's nothing else it could be and it was fine till I swapped bushings..... Duh huh... Where do I delete this post

I had the front apart for strut rod bushings and since then alot of times if I take off from a start and get above 1/4 throttle the TC light comes on and it takes power like I'm spinning. If I stop and turn it off it drives fine. If I had a bad wheel speed sensor would it turn on the check...

Redrilled the lower mounting bolt holes up front and cut the rear air bags along with moving the sensors, just did this yesterday and IL still playing with it but it's close. Might drop the rear another 1/2" and the best part is this was 100% free. Just a afternoon of my time

I made a altitude adjustment and got it lower than its ever been. I followed dudes post and redrilled the holes up front and cut the bags in the rear. Still playing around with the sensors but it's really close. I plan to hub swap it soon and get some different wheels, the insides of my...
