wow..... The F-Car literally ripped in half, separated by a good 50 ft, and the passenger compartment nowhere to be found. It makes me think about the times I've been stupid for speeding excessively, but never DUI.... RIP Charles....

Either the dealer will have to do a full reset on the computer to fully clear the codes, or you'll have to complete a ODBII drive cycle. It is a royal pain in the real to do, so taking it to the dealer may be the easiest. Click here for the complete Ford ODBII drive cycle...

Looks like a market for taillight service ! hehehehe ------ One other possible fix comes to mind..... ---- High strength Velcro, the hard plastic hook/loop type, not the soft pile type, on self self adhesive tape. If there is enough of a flat surface in the base of the tail light bucket...

Found a Web listing for Plas-T-Pair.... 2 Parts, Liquid and Powder. May also be called PlasTex. http://www.rawnamerica.com/products.php Scroll down towaards the bottom of the page..... May be available at local Electronics stores (Other than Radio Shack). Check if Acetone will soften the...

Guys, how about using some material such as JB Weld or other epoxy to build up the mounting stud ? One other thing to look into is a product called Plasti-Pair... It is a 2 part solvent/ polystyrene powder. You can combine the 2 to make a paste, and build up the plactic surfaces. (Kinda...

Hi DoctorV8. Is this a family friendly event and invite open to non-owners ? Good Luck...thanks Don

Raphie, Belive it or not, there are hyrdaulic lifters under the Cams. There are also rocker arms of sorts. The Cams do not directly contact the valves, but are driven thru a cam follower and lifter of sorts. Not like an F-car or L-car where the cam lobes directly drive the valves. On the...

It could be lifters not being pumped up too. My R does it for a few minutes as the oil gets up to the lifer bores. Justa side effect of running the heavy oil, but since most are running synthetic, it drains down easily too... In any event, been told it's nothing to worry about..

Those with connections in the aviation industry lknow about MicroMesh. We used it to buff out cracks and crazing in plexiglass. It comes with the emery cloth and polishing compounds. Its a pain to use, but works like a champ. Do a Google Search for MicroMesh. There are various kits...

I just photocopy my registration, and insurance card, reduce the size down to where botha t the size of a D/l, lamitante both, and keep both in my wallet. When I get pulled over by the police, I have to dig out my D/L anyways, and everything is right there. If someone steals my wallet, the...

Best wishes for the holidays from a non-owner, enthusiast, (Powerpant Beta Tester tho). :) Regards....

Some of the parts shortages can be attributed to the Mustang/Lightning crowd, etc. Up to a year or so ago, anyone could go to Ford and buy GT parts for whatever reason. I was one of them looking for intercooler/head parts for my Cobra R. Since until the GT500 came along. The GT was the...

The only reason that parts for F or L cars is so expensive is because the Dealers can charge what they do, and the uneducated don't think twice about it. I'm one of thos poor L car owners, and cannot afford to pay $ 2000 for a tune up on my Diablo. (Plugs, Plug wires, dist cap and rotor). So...

FWIW.... The same cord will work with the Passport x500 series too. (At least the 7500 and 8500).
