Even with diving into a google search, not much in definitive answers on why the Ford AC pumps develop a ticking sound. Its pretty rapid and rises with rpm's. Turn off the AC and all is smooth and quiet at idle. I just had it serviced last year and all was good and it still blows cold but the...

After a dozen different tested China bulbs of various types, I'm thinking this is about as good as its ever going to be with latest/greatest refit projectors. https://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/forum/ams/gen-2-led-headlight-bulbs-low-high.110/

I'm a little concerned about my cooling fan. When it turns on, it puts a momentary hard load on the engine that has been know to stall the engine a couple times. I'm thinking I want to put a new fan motor assembly on but I cant find a 8C607 that is for a MKVIII. These are supposed to be 2 speed...

The low beam bulb saga continues. after setting the 97 up with 4 emitter LED bulbs, I decided they just aren't up to brightness standards I was hoping for. Every time I click the basic bulb hi beam on, it blows away the LED for the dullness you see out of them. So, there was only one outfit...

I'm done with the Ballast fired HID's! Simply not reliable igniters over any length of time. I think the Chinese made components are just not efficient enough to light up reliably over time. So it was time to re convert to fan cooled LED's. You can find what and how I did it at the end of this...

If you are not familiar with this check engine code on your MK, I just had it. With just over 90K on the car, I thought I would get a new speed sensor since that is what the P0500 code refers to and as I ordered a new Motorcraft sensor at Rock Auto, the Cart came up with a needed "sensor plug...

Well, I updated my relocation How Too article since I had a leak...again. Hoping to swap in a Trans Dapt head was even a BIGGER disapointment! But there is a fix to every problem and I outlined the fix to the most desirable solution. You can read about it at the end of the original article...

Normally I keep the 97 in the Garage where there are no mice but about 2 weeks ago I left the car out one night and the next day, I spotted the dreaded paper shreds on the floor and in the glove box, a nearly new pack of mentos pretty much nibbled to nothing. Along with that, there were alot of...

Most of the time a person can expect the "get what you pay" for to be the rule rather than the exception. The FL-820S seems to all ways be hailed as THE oil filter to be used as the standard of quality & price. I listen then look for evidence to prove that. I happen to like Bosch stuff for...

Remember to turn on the volume on the screen shot. Win or loose, this is well done.

Do you like the ridiculous storage space in the console? I bet most of you have forgotten whats way down in the bottom of that narrow n deep excuse of a storage contortion! So... I added a very extensive reconfiguring. I removed the worthless dual cup holder, grafted the cup top to the rest of...

Well, the AC no longer mixes heat to hold set temp in the car. A year ago I posted the blend door fix and rod mod and those are working fine, moving the lower blend door back & forth with the settings The heater core pipes are hot and I flushed them just to make sure there was no blockage. One...

When I bought my car the carpet was heavily stained down the back of the console carpet on both sides. A testament to the absolutely idiotic design of the Gen 2 cup holders. Absolutely worthless. So as much as I hated the idea of cutting up the Dash's smooth lines, My last out of state trip...

We all have a different idea of what our cars should sound like since its a split between motor head madness and fall asleep Lincoln quiet. I had posted a how to on modifying your intake into a cold air intake with dual intake ports and that clearly broke the OEM silence barrier. The car had...

I finally had to take the 97 into a local trans shop because it was seeping oil out of the bell housing. The owner said he could do the J-mod as long as I gave him what and where to drill. I picked the car up yesterday and the J-mod work appears to be shifting much better. That bad news came as...

I'm doing my second engine oil change and want to put a drain valve type plug in the pan. Problem is, I'v never seen a drain plug like the one in this 97. It has a black plastic/rubber outer plug in it with a spring loaded ported inner shank that is caped off. Is this Ford's idea of some kind of...

Just wondering out load here to see if anyone looked into what can be done with that base to make it functional. I have a couple of CB's laying around and wonder if the base is modulated for a specific cell frequency or straight up co ax direct?

Some times too much time spent reading the varied transgo posts just confuses the issue. So, any one running the T76165E in their Gen2? The lazy 1-2 shifts are starting to bug me. Im not going to do this my self. No lift = fogetaboutit. Seems a trans shop would be more willing to do a name...

On my 97 there is a push button switch on the fender next to the Air filter box. Since the car has no under the hood illumination, What does that switch do? Closing the hood activates it or opens some circuit.
