Just wondered if anyone has done this. I have seen one black LSC on the internet that had the window trim black. I do not believe the LSC usually came with black trim around those windows (door & quarter). I would imagine sanding the chrome and maybe using a self etching primer may do the trick.

I dont understand why you cannot get a cat-back exhaust setup from the large exhaust companies. I looked at summitracing and they have a kit for the Thunderbird 4.6. Why would it be any different? I cant even find replacement exhaust parts for the LSC if one wanted to just to a stock change over.

I left a post asking some questions regarding the procedure and received the answers that I needed. Just wanted to say thanks for the guys who have taken the time to post information on here. I am glad I went to the trouble of doing this mod. When I pulled the pan, I could not believe how...

The other day I was driving my wifes Explorer that has the 5 speed automatic in it. I got to thinking that they also put a 5 speed automatic in the Aviator which has the 4.6 DOHC. Were there ever any 2wd Aviators produced? Could it be possible to install the 5 speed auto (5R55S) into the...

I recently replaced the wiper motor because the wipers wouldnt shut off. I notice this new motor that I got (came with bracket and arm) likes to bind up when parking. It doesnt do this all the time. If I run the wipers on/off 5 or 6 times it will bind up once within those times. The wipers...

Hello all.. For the first time today, I find that my wipers will not shut off. I do not have delay and it acts like either low isnt working or the high speed isnt working. Either way, the wipers run back and forth and refuse to shut off unless I turn the car off and open the door. I go to...

First off, I am new to this forum. I have been doing extensive research for my 98 Mark since I am also new to the car. My air filter was a fram and it was pretty dirty. Instead of replacing it with another I decided to go with a k&n with the maf adapter. This meant the whole plastic box had...
