    One dies and another is born...

    Well... the 2001 Blue Beast bit it a few weeks ago. Oil pump failed. Some of you may have seen the post in the for sale section. Anyway, I got a sweet deal on a pair of Grand Marquis that I couldn't pass up. A white 1999 GS with 49,600 original miles and a wrecked 2006 LS with 160,000 miles. I'm...

    For Sale 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis LS BLOWN MOTOR

Looking for $1,000. Car is located in Lincoln County Missouri. 186,000 miles on the car. Pictures to...

    EATC Blend Door Actuator

    I've really never lost complete interest just haven't really been looking. I guess you're right and as for the air ride, you can also delete that if you're so inclined. So I guess it's not as bad as I thought. Now... to find a low mileage silver... hmm. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using...

    EATC Blend Door Actuator

    The lack of parts is one of the reasons I haven't pulled the trigger on a Marauder yet. I've wanted one for many years and I still love the car but I just can't do it. I'm stuck with my Grand Marquis. At least those have a huge group of salvage vehicles to pick through when you need a part...

    Drivers window suddenly in op

    While waiting on replies I tore into the switch assembly. I wasn't getting the slight dome light dimming when trying to raise the drivers window. After messing with the contacts a bit and reassembling the switch the window now goes up again. What a pain in the butt. I hope this isn't a sign of...

    Drivers window suddenly in op

    Dealing with a similar issue. Window went down but won't come up. When I hit the down button the light dims but when I hit the up button nothing happens. I have the door panel off and the switch panel in my hand. I have taken the switch apart to expose the contacts but they look fine...

    Water intrusion

    My vote is on the moonroof drains. Seems to be a common problem across all brands of cars and trucks. My father has a Dodge Ram 3500 he uses to pull a 5th wheel and his sunroof is notorious for this problem. He uses a blow gun attachment and an air compressor to blow the drains clear. Not sure...

    SCCA Org defines the Marauder as a sport car?

    Yep. Like Pontiac and the G8. As far as I'm concerned there's nothing wrong with having four doors on a fast car. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

    SCCA Org defines the Marauder as a sport car?

    It's definitely more of a sports car than a Dodge Neon yet the Dodge Neon ACR is considered a sports car by SCCA. Personally I think the marauder is kind of a sports car. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

    HEARD a FORD

    About 2 weeks ago I was sitting in a loading dock in St.Peter's, MO when I heard the distinctive sound of a supercharged Ford V8. I assumed it was a Mustang but to my surprise it was not. It was a beat up looking 90s F150. It sounded sweet and ran sweeter! I wish I knew who owned it. They put a...

    Any 5.4 experts out there

    This---^ That was the same thing I thought when I started doing research on mine. It's utterly shocking when you go to a salvage yard and look at the panther cars. That's where I got my replacement intake and it wasn't hard to find. Actually an original plastic intake would be the hard one to...

    Any 5.4 experts out there

    I'll second that. My 2001 MGM still has the full plastic intake manifold. Behind where the alternator bracket mounts to the intake and right at the temperature sensor I have two cracks. I purchased the new intake but did not have time to put it on so I just used epoxy as a temporary fix. That...

    Strength of a stock 4r70w.

    I've done a quick search among multiple forums. What I'm seeing is no more than 350-400 on a stock converter. If you want to go higher than that people are saying total rebuild with stronger clutches, bands, and valve body as well as a multi-clutch torque converter. People are saying the single...

    My latest Panther score!

    Absolutely beautiful example of a well maintained car! I would love to find something like that. I've just spent the last week replacing the intake, valve cover gaskets, thermostat, plugs, and coils. Shes back to square but still doesn't make me grin like that Lincoln. Congratulations man!

    Engine Coolant Temperature

    Yes. I'm currently driving a Grand Marquis. I was in desperate need of a car and while I wanted a Marauder I couldn't find one in decent shape fast enough. Ended up with a decent mileage 1 owner Marquis. A Marauder is on my wish list and will be in my garage soon. In the mean time I'm here...
