Set of snow tires and wheels is still available.

Hi, I am selling a set of FOUR Michelin X-Ice 225/60QR16 tires, mounted and freshly balance on a set of silver 10-spoke (Mark VIII OEM) 16X7" wheels. These tires have less than 75 miles on them (I drove on them one time from the shop where I had them mounted/balanced back to my old house, which...

Gene - with 180+ K on your engine new COP boots are a must! They notoriously cause misfires when old and heat cycled many hundreds of times. Autozone has the boots for about $5 ea As far as water in the back plug hole - its draining from your cowl. When you pull the COP cover to change the...

Ya the Gen 2 will work much better with an Aviator or SCT Focus pump. The Walbro pumps will fail prematurely in that application. 93-96 Marks can use it fine - just not gen 2's.

Where are you?

I know that the operating system in the EEC-V was changed sometime in early 1997. Basically internal PCM differences. As far as engine and accesories, I am pretty sure they are spot on the same. I have never heard of any differences. In fact the only thing I can think of is the 98 has...

The tuner is being sold to a board member. Thanks to all who were interested. Calvin

I went through this same ordeal. Replaced cranl and cam sensors and have been good since. PS: Autozone has them for $15 ea

Tuner is still for sale.

Hi, I am selling a SCT XCalibrator 2 that I bought from Dennis about 7 weeks ago. It is in like new condition with no defects at all (electrical or physical). I am selling it as I thought I needed it to handle a PATS no start issue I was having. Turned out that my problem was parking space...

The way I do it is disconnect the CPS so the car will not start (crank only). then dicconnect the return hose (at the resevoir) and use a 3/8" barbed hose connector to run a length of 3/8 hose into a drain pan. Then your assistant cranks the motor while you monitor fluid level in the resevoir...

Frank, Can you either post or email me your dyno sheets from when Chris tuned your Mark? I'm interested in seeing them. My email is ieatwings@charter.net Thanks, Cal

Its real easy if you already have the diff out. Otherwis your looking at dropping the gas tank down, removing the safety loops, and unbolting the 4 shaft to pinion bolts. Probably a 1.5 hour job with all the right tools

You may be able to find a used MMC shaft either here or at TCCOA for about $350. A new one is about $450. I dont know if it was mentioned yet but you will also need a new VSS sensor (one for 4.10's) which attaches to the driver side of your 4R70W. It is a factor in TC lockup scheduling, shift...

I know you don't want to hear this but you will need a MMC driveshaft with 4.10s. Many of the people who post here (myself included) went through this when we did our gear swaps. Dont think that you can do 4.10s in a Mark VIII and drive on the interstate at 85-90mph without a HORRIBLE...
