What did you do to your car today?

[Mr. Man]

"New" used cobra heads got delivered today. Had no clue they were coming with the cobra manifolds as well. I removed the manifolds and looked the heads over. Either going to take them and get hot tanked or just spend the day with degreaser cleaning them up.

Had "The Works Fuel Saver" service (http://owner.ford.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Owner/Page/ServiceCouponsPage) performed this morning, costs $29.95 after a $10.00 mail-in rebate, not a bad deal IMHO. :)

From my understanding, yes slickster, any "authorized" Ford/Lincoln/Mercury service center will accept & honor this promotion. To be honest, when I checked in the Marauder at the service desk, I didn't even have any printed coupons or the like; the "Service Adviser" offered my mom and I the promotion right off the bat, it was already in their computer system! :cool:

Little do they know, if I had to pay full price, I had Mike Rowe tied up in the trunk! :P

Valve covers got delivered, going to clean them up and prep them to be sent out for powder coating next week.

OUCH ! That must have set you back a pretty penny.
Replacing the o-rings in it is all that it needs...

[Zim Hosein]

What was the problem with it?

The A/C, when set to automatic would start blowing from the defrost & floor vents under certain acceleration conditions fastblackmerc. For the moment, the issue seems to be resolved, but if it returns, I've been told the only other available fix would be that the dash has to come apart! :eek:

[stryker]

Well yesterday I began pressure washing all underneath the BP74i successfully, today i'm finishing spraying all underneath my Panther with a mix of Diesel with transmission fluid, that keeps out the dirty to stick to surface and parts and plus add lubrication to moving parts and protect from corrosion, pics are taken but due that i cannot post pics as I done before (still don't understand why) I cannot post'em in my thread, some day i will discover the problem.

Zim,

If the AC was working fine, your HVAC box is okay. (under the dashboard)
I had my box replaced because the doors would get hung during their transitioning.

We have several sources for o-rings and can fix it ourselves.

Post a question on this site before you go anywhere it will cost you $$$.

[Panther]

Had the car for about 2 months now. Put the car up on jacks. Got under it and drained the oil. It was an EZ job. Just don't like when you take off the oil filter that every thing gets wet with oil. ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO KEEP IT CLEAN WHEN REMOVING THE OIL FILTER. The clean up took the longest getting the oil off of the crossmember and some other stuff. Also noticed that the bottom shock bolt was not on all the way so pulled out the impac wrench and tighten that nut up. Took the car for a test drive then put her away.

Ford used to sell a clip on oil tray/diverter that clipped to the P/S lines to direct the oil away from that area. Maybe check with your local dealer. Mine has been on and working for years.

You've got me confused on the issue MENINBLK!

The A/C was blowing cold air, but on certain situations like hard acceleration, it would start to blow from the defroster and floor vents... I thought that could either be the EATC or the "HVAC" box... am I mistaken? :confused:

As mentioned earlier, I know the o-ring issue could be repaired by the community here,notabilityy fastblackmerc, but I still have the Ford Premium ESP which covered the cost 100%. :)

Premium Care still has a deductible unless you paid for the deductible waiver.
That deductible was $100 and it cost way more than $100 to pay for that option.

Under HARD ACCELERATION is when you LOSE your vacuum.
If the EATC o-rings are scored or cracked, they will bleed
what little vacuum is left in the system or they may bleed all of it.
Your system will blow cold, just not in the direction you want it.
Just like you experienced with the Defroster and Floor vents
instead of the dash vents.
Vacuum is used to extend or retract the door actuators inside the "box".

The HVAC BOX problem is something different.
The mixer door and the transition door get hung inside the "box"
because the "box" warps.
Sometimes you will hear the door rub or snap as it moves inside the "box".
This is a common problem with CV/GM/Marauder.
The only fix for this is to replace the entire "box".
I had this done on my Marauder as well.

When the "box" is replaced, please make sure they use all NEW gaskets.
They reused the upper gasket on mine and it ended up shrinking
and causing a water leak into my interior during a hard rain.
The rear seat footwell would collect water from it.

I have the disappearing-deductible, so the cost is $0.00 for any work done covered by the Ford Premium ESP. There is no doubt, I "pre-paid" for the plan benefit, but I have found the plan worth it, especially when you consider that I'm having the work done at an authorized Ford dealer w/ genuine Ford parts, plus I count on the "free" rentals when the Marauder is in for service and/or repair, that way, I'm never w/out a car. :)

As for your explanation regarding the o-rings, thanks for the detailed explanation, it makes more sense to me now, much appreciated MENINBLK! :beer:

Noticed after driving to work that I have 111,111 miles showing.

[MyBlackBeasts]

Well, strange noise developed under hood today. Sounds like I am dragging a chain under the car. Pulled in garage and checked it out. A/C compressor clutch puked... :mad2:

Pulled clutch, compressor ok (thank goodness).

Oh well, another $100 to FLAPS... :shake:

[Curless]

Changed the license plate to a different one....we got an F.O.P. plate for it. Figure with the dark tint and everyone saying it looks like a cop car it may as well have a plate like one!!!

[Comin' in Hot]

Removed and replaced the rear brakes today with Raybestos Police rotors and advanced technology pads... I made sure I lived everything and painted everything black before I installed installed to prevent rust and have that clean look for the next 20,000 miles. Pulled the front wheel to make sure everything was good up front. Then cleaned the interior.

[MyBlackBeasts]

A friend of mine called me to help pull the engine from his 69 Firebird as it developed an internal noise. After disassembly, this is what I found...

Just a little corrosion/oil on the contacts. Took care of it with a little sand paper and Ronson lighter fluid. Hardest thing was removing assembly from car and taking it apart.

I believe there already is a write up around here somewhere. Will see if i can find it.

I hit a chunk of wood that fell from a logging truck in the U.P. of Michigan. Damaged the bumper, grill and hood. Made a deal with the body shop to paint the fenders too and keep the money for the OEM grille. ($295)
Soooo, I get a complete front end re-spray and I can get an OE grille for $65. No deductible because it falls under comprehensive. This will finally take care of the nasty bumper paint and all the cracked paint on the fenders that Ford f'd up on.

June 2011 had to replace both front wheel bearing/hubs on my father's 2006 Dodge Dakota p/u. Other than dealer the only place that offered replacements was NAPA, ordered & installed. He called me last week that the left one was making noise again. So he came to visit this weekend so I could check it out. Both sides shot again! OEM lasted 5yrs & 130,000 miles. These "quality" NAPA units lasted 14 months (with a 12 month warranty!!! :mad2:). Picked up new ones from O'Rielly with 3-year warranty!

He ended up leaving with:

Both new front wheel bearing/hubs
Right lower ball joint
Both outer tie rod ends
Front brakes

Lube, oil, filter & full service

Does not have hub nut, 2wd.

At the time only suppliers for part was dealer & NAPA. No Timken option. Now you can get Timken unit from AutoZone but have to special order. No time for that. O'Riley's 3yr warranty was satisfactory to me.

---New rear Monroe Severe Service shocks...I love em
---Changed tranny fluid and added sure shift from Lucas
---Cleaned throttle body, mass air flow and iac
---Replaced tail shaft seal due to leaking
---Seafoam smoke show
---Full tank with Lucas upper cylinder lubricant
---New fuel filter, had about 10K on old one and it was over 50% clogged

...Car is running good now, now if I could just get headers and x pipe installed with cobra cams I'd be doing great!

Does not have hub nut, 2wd.

At the time only suppliers for part was dealer & NAPA. No Timken option. Now you can get Timken unit from AutoZone but have to special order. No time for that. O'Riley's 3yr warranty was satisfactory to me.

Had a nice time with Rex and the job took just over 5 hrs. to swap the covers while doing plugs and t-body clean and maf cleaning. The color of the cam covers are Bangle Blue. They look better in the sun light then in the picture due to picture taken after the under hood work light was removed unlike the first picture with the black covers.

So I replaced the HID harness again - DDM Tuning one is miles better than the one I bought locally; the new relay is completely sealed, no plug to get shorted out or anything.

While installing the new harness and relocating everything, I found this thing, which was just dangling below the air box. Any ideas what it is? the hose it's tied to is going somewhere under the airbox but I can't quite see where, I'll try and look again under light. It just says MARAUDER on it, and there is a hose attached shooting out towards the top of the pic, and an unplugged hole on the side - to the right in the pic below.

Machined the front rotors, new pads and hardware, cleaned out the pins and lubed. Balanced the front tires (which I wish I could replace, crappy pirellis) Also changed the fuel filter (old one was BAD, believe it was the original). Cleaned out the TB and intake, ran some BG cleaner through the fuel injectors. Flushed the power steering system, cleaned out, and filled with synthetic fluid. Next up is a plug change, trans pan drop and filter change, then a flush, and change the gear oil. Gettin there as I have time!
