Since I've bought my mark viii, this has been bugging me. Now, I realize I've got an "old" vehicle by today's standards, but christ, 290 HP I'd think should be good enough, lol. I've pulled against many modern "sedans" from a mid 90's accord to a new 4 door hyundai, and in every case, i've...

Well, sick and tired of the power seat motors on these things, and sick of having every car I come across having a bad motor, I decided the best thing to do is to convert over to manual seat tracks. I "heard" the tbird 89-97 had a manual seat track option, so I headed to the junkyard...

My Instrument cluster circuit board completely died, so I replaced the circuit board with that from a parts car....only problem is my car now reads nearly exactly 10k higher, 118k vs the 108k the car has. Does anyone know how to change this? Is there a "chip" on the back that holds the memory...

don't have the owners manual, and I can't find a blown fuse, my instrument cluster completely died out of the blue, no speedo, no tach, no miles, no fuel, brake light permanently on, etc....it's also popping a couple of error mssgs on the center display...something about temp sensor not...

Took the 98 mark viii to vegas and back this weekend, 260 miles each way. It breezed through it with comfort that I've never experienced (used to take fox mustangs to vegas, lol)... however on the way back it started to have a gas smell...starts off mild then gets stronger and stronger, then...

Have had my mark viii only 4 months or so. Runs absolutely fantastic, but I figured what the hell, may as well replace some stuff. So I pulled the spark plugs (107k miles)....haha...original motorcraft plugs, never been changed....then I pulled the filter, haha...original ford fuel filter...

First time removing a drivetrain with a mark viii and a modular. I've got a 97 parts car, and I want to do this as ez as possible, and remove it all in one lump. I'm going to cut out the radiator support from the front of the car, and I'd like to drop the entire engine with the k member and...

I've got a 97 lsc parts car, and I'd like the absolute easiest way of dropping basically the entire back half of the car, rear end/suspension wise. If this was a solid axle, which I'm more familiar with, I'd just drop it at the control arms at the frame, but with the irs, is there a way to...

I've had a rattling coming from my right front strut area, and it's most noticeable on dips and bumps...dips and bumps I get a clunk from both strut tower areas. Sounds like the top. Some research seems to tell me it may be a common problem with aftermarket struts such as arnott. anyone...

Bought a 97 lsc from a friend for parts, and he had these neat wheels on them. They're 17x7...and believe it or not, he's stuffed 275/45/17 tires on the back and 245/45/17 on the front. He's put some HARD miles on them, and the fat rear tires have held up on that wheel. Anyhow, I got them...

Yet another bag vs spring question, but It's a little more specific, so I figure I'd still throw up a post. I've got a 98 LSC, and recently the rear end completely deflates. I don't get why...it'll hold pressure for a week, then randomly it'll deflate one night, then work fine again for...

I've got a question about more of an acquantance of mine. He's from a local mustang message board that I hang out on, and I've met him a few times. He's got a 97 Mark viii. His mods are a torque converter and recent 4.10 gears. He recently pm'd me complaining that the gears blew his trans up...

98 LSC, 105k miles. all front end is original and yes I need to replace my ball joints....I can sometimes hear a slight noise on bumps from the front end. HOWEVER, I've jacked up the front end several times and the wheels have NO movement, or extremely minute amount if any.... I have...

My antenna for the radio works, but it's real bad compared to a normal antenna. Is this just how it works, or is there a trick to making it work better? I know it's functioning, because I just sold my crown vic that had the same antenna, and it didn't work at all.

Hi all...the amp for my left speakers are blown. Anyone know how much these amps put out oem? OR better yet how much power can the OEM speakers handle?? I've got a decent kenwood 4 channel amp, 50 watts rms per channel. Can the oem speakers handle this?? I'd like to use the bypass...

Hey all, I've honestly searched this forum left to right and just couldn't find the answer I'm looking for. I pulled my moonroof motor and it's in good shape and not stripped out. I aligned the tabs and the moonroof will go back all the way, but sometimes it'll make a rapid clicking sound...

Hey all, my a/c wasn't working in my newly purchased 98 lsc..so I bought one of those $20 gauges from autozone and connected it to the nipple near the firewall. The reading was completely off the gauge...literally the needle went all the way around past high and pegged on the stop just before...

Guess I'm posting a lot...but I'm just trying to figure everything out. I was told (so I haven't tried doing it yet) that the car will blow a fuse if you push the seatback forward....like you would to let a passenger in. The seat works in every other way just fine...I think he said he was...

JBL system mark viii. Sound comes out of both right speakers without issues, but not either left speaker. Balance is fine...and if I shift it over to the left speakers, I can barely hear a little sound. anyone know what gives here? Bad stereo...bad something else??

Hey all...trying to figure out this stupid sunroof. It'll pop up and slide forward..but only go backwards and open once in a while. Once it seemed offtrack, but then popped back on. If I try and open the sunroof, it'll open an inch or two, then sometimes make a rapid clicking sound and...
