    Flashing "O/D OFF" indicator light

    Hello All, Recently on my 96 w/60K, I have noticed the "O/D OFF" indicator light flash on and off about 5-10 times before an upshift. It doesn't do it every time. This happens with the O/D Off button not engaged. I did the 1-2 upgrade about 10K ago w/Mercon V and a B&M cooler with no previous...

    Removal of secondary air-injection system

    When this system is removed for the install of headers on my 96, will it throw any codes? I see a wire harness going to it and am wondering if I have to bridge this or just disconnect? Thanks in advance! Al 96 MK8 LOD Member but no green guy ;(

    Choosing the right stall converer

    Hello all, While I have the engine lowered during a header install, I figured it was the best time to change the Torque Converter. I have a tranny cooler w/1-2 upgrade, MMX shaft and plan on 3.73's & a Bauman shift kit in the very near future. According to the TCCOA tranny article: "Under...

    Hello All, I am purchasing a 3.73 trac-loc pumpkin from Max at 5-Star Ford and would like to use Amsoil synthetic gear oil even though I know the unit comes shipped with Ford gear oil. However, I remember reading a post about not using synthetic oil for trac-locs but can't seem to find this...

    First post

    Hello all, This is my first post here as I recently discovered that this is the "real" Mark VIII message board. Can someone explain to me why there are 2 boards? It is almost like that Star Trek episode where Capt. Kirk ends up in a parallel universe and Spok has a goat-tee. Thank you for...
