With the 4R70W gears in the AOD, it's even more pronounced. 1st gear is a good deal lower than the AOD. I would like to have a 4r70W put in my 93... but I have no real desire to any more.

yeah. 3 and 4 are basically the same. it's 1 and 2 that are a good deal lower than the older ones.

honestly the EGR doesn't cause problems if its working as designed either.
the air pump in theory shouldn't hurt, but in reality it doesn't do much of use either, it makes stupid noises when working and really stupid ones when it fails.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

smog pump that was on the 88 MGM I had sounded like a turbo when it was failing before it seized up. Was kinda neat for those two weeks.

one of mine sounded like a drunk with a maraca, the other sounded like a flying saucer in a cheesy sci-fi movie from the 50s.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I never noticed any sound from the smog pump on my ‘88 Grand Marquis. The one on the Mark VI sounds like a coffee can full of rocks on startup, it goes away as the engine warms up. Eventually it’ll probably seize up, at that point I’ll remove the entire ordeal. Until then I’ll likely be too lazy. I’ve had the belt off and it turns freely and there doesn’t seem to be excessive endplay in the thing so I don’t know what it’s issue is.

good ones aren't terribly noisy but they do tend to make a bit of a buzz/fart kind of noise, especially when its in bypass mode and just dumping to atmosphere.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

When the bearings went out on mine, it started to make the worst ear-splitting whine-squeal I've ever witnessed to come from an automobile.
If it hadn't done that (and thrown the belt), I would've left it be.
I'd bet the biggest performance gain from emissions equipment deletes is the weight reduction...
Except in my case, the EGR went apeshit and made the car run like crap.
And I'm defo keeping my cats, because I don't like to SMELL BAD.1985 Mercury Grand Marquis LS, "Maisa"
