red looks like trans fluid. Could be power steering since that also uses ATF.

if it has a low oil level sensor on the side of the pan, that is also sitting in engine oil when not running.
...

yeah, switch in the tape mechanism. I don't happen to have one here to look at but somewhere in there there is a switch that is activated when the tape is loaded into the deck and it flips from...

there are still a few people around who know things, but less and less all the time

I've got two vehicles with trans rebuilt by someone who knew what they were doing and they work fine but I know...

explorer covers are almost identical to stock lopo ones, except the fill neck is kind of goofy. I'd keep the original ones before swapping to explorer parts unless you had very specific need to.

probably something with the audio compression. Tends to make things have a slightly nasal sort of sound.

prob have to be looking for stuff designed to fit under a stock EFI upper manifold. All of the carb ones are on the tall side. Cheapest option with a lot of room inside is actually the lopo steel...

my stuff tends to get changed by age more than mileage too. I think the oil in the Towncar is like 3 years old at this point but if its got a thousand miles on it I'd be surprised. It will get done...

thats a sad truth, the expertise is going away for a lot of this stuff. Lot of really bad trans shops out there too, I've ridden in some cars with rebuilt AODs that were horrible.

kind of a bitch to change them. Only set I did with the LCA in I used a floor jack and a 2x6 on the pad to lift the engine by the front of the oil pan.

with the right tools its possible, without...

Sounds odd and I have absolutely no idea if its anecdotal but when I did the pinion seal on the Conti I found that the pinion had no preload on it. One of the steps for doing seals is check the...

I'd move the thermactor wires or pull the solenoids out. Not sure if it will do anything funny if it sees voltage back on a pin that it isn't expecting. With no solenoid or with no wires in those...

Another AOD video from the same guy

with a lot of this stuff I suspect that if you change it on some sort of reasonable interval, exactly what you change it with gets far less critical. These aren't high performance engines either so...

someone probably sells a universal fit harness for this kind of thing, but thats a bit like buying one size fits all underwear. Nothing is exactly where you want it to be.

got the destructions handy?

There are some small differences between the Fox pinout and the Panther.

function color panther fox
thermactor air bypass W/R...

another thought, did you have the fan off to do the shroud? If so, did it have a bushing inside the clutch that maybe got lost? The replacement clutches have a larger bore than what our pumps use,...

Does it do this when idling and not moving? If so that sounds like either a misfire or really shitty motor mounts.

If it only happens when moving, go for the U joints.


15/16 is 30/32, the...

more modern diesel oils have cut back on that to some degree too. I actually have specific concerns since my diesel is also my only flat tappet engine. Been running Chevron Delo 400 in it.

and...

I think they bend the tabs on the magnetic coupler, or maybe its a spring tension thing, bending the anchor point to adjust. Its not an adjustment clearly and obviously marked "calibration" though. ...

When I pulled my ECM to install the Quarterhorse I found the caps were leaking and dumping corrosive crap on the board, so I certainly get the appeal of "new, with warranty" rather than dealing with...

are you sure your balancer and pointer is accurate? 20btdc sounds like a lot to me. I've had mine idling that far advanced and it sounds strange. Mine all ping and carry on much past stock so they...

well there you go. now you know what and how much. If its all new, you should have no issues running PAG. Just need to add however much more it needs.

belt driven oil pump? lets go with a no on that and make a normal pump work.

+1 on taking it apart and removing the guts. maybe stick new bearings in there if it has them, I don't honestly know. At that point its just an idler pulley.

The engine code is probably the...

properly tuned, there is really nothing wrong with speed-density. The specific ailment most of us here have is that it isn't tuned for what we need and most of the tuners that do EEC-IV don't mess...
