I took the advice of some here and just showed up at the Dealership to try to get this done....an Hour later I was told the parts would not be available till July.

You folks are kind of surprising me. All the talk with the exception of a mention of mixing Racing gas has been about cheap pricing. Cheap prices are great as long as you are getting quality fuel for that price? My area Regular Unleaded with up to 10% Ethanol is running around $1.70 a...

I got my recall notice in the mail Saturday morning. The recall instructs me to wait to be contacted by my Dealership of Record due to parts availability issues at the present time. My 2003 MM only has 37k on it and I've yet to have a problem with the headlights. I hope this continues to...

I got my letter in the Mail Friday morning. I wrote on the Envelope what it was about and put it in the glove box of the car for the If and When moment happens , I don't have to go looking for it. I sure wish Ford would institute a recall for the Intake Manifiolds on the SOHC...

Meloy and Reed....Those were some great shows in my youth. I'm with you guys , Adam 12 , Emergency....all great shows , when TV was designed to entertain and at times educate. Adam 12 was so accurate , the Badges they wore were hand delivered to the set each day , then returned to the...

Blue Smoke says valve seals to me too. I thought the PI Heads were supposed to be the fix for this...I know the 4.6L SOHC prior to 2001 was plagued with the problem at or before the 100k mark. My 1993 CV PI starting doing this at the 135k mark...just when I was looking at repair and labor...

It just goes to show that you can find winners and lemons in anything. My 2003 Marauder with 36k on it needed the Air Compressor replaced the day after I bought it...like all the others that have replaced them , it was corroided from poor drainage..or lack there of. My dad has a 1997 Crown...

You won't find a bigger Ford Fan than myself...I've got seven of them as dependents ranging all the way back to 1968 (x3) but they have made their fair share of mistakes over the years. Back in the 50 early 6o's Ford was promoting Safety...GM was aggressively marketing Performance and Styling...

First Off...I aplogize for not knowing whom posted the T/S Guide for the EATC...but God Bless You! Last week my 2000 CV ( Performance/Handling Pkg) A/C System starting showing its A$$. The car was not blowing ambeint air on the Vent Setting , it was blowing pure warm air even in the calm of...

Whomever came up with the clock spring idea should be forced to have to fix them himself. I've had this same failure going back as far as 1994 Ford products...and more than what you've listed got taken out until it was replaced. Curious...how difficult is it to remove the drivers air bag on...

I'm glad you enjoy your MM...Mine is being kept up for my retirement in the next 12-13 years. I'm perfectly OK with others doing whatever they want with theirs and wouldn't begin to tell you not to do something. I'll hopefully profit from that someday , if not I'll enjoy it as if it was the Red...

Way to go friend, been there and done that on the compressor...mine was shot when I got the car with 35k on it. The tires and whatnot...it's the price of owning any automobile. I'm glad you dug yourself out of the hole.

I've used that product in one of my 68 vintage Torino GT's...my Holley Carb got ruined despite that product. I have never seen such effects on a Carburetor before. I know this is about modern MM's , but fuel is fuel and fuel systems to a degree are still pretty much the same in theory and...

My friend from South Carolina is dead balls accurate in his view. I live right around the corner from Bruton Smiths largest Ford Dealership..its my OEM parts store and often where my cars/trucks get inspected. They of course promote Z-Max , but having worked there many years ago. I know...

My MM sits in the garage everyday in North Carolina...wouldn't let it see a rain drop on a dare. Mine only has 36k and some change on it and I have plenty of other cars/trucks to drive , so yes the MM gets treated like a King My 1994 Eddie Bauer Bronco , that spent 3.5 Years in Pittsburgh on...
