    No longer a Lincoln owner

    Yep, that's correct....I ended up trading my 2015 MKZ 3.7 AWD in. I bought it in April 2018 as a CPO with 32k miles (give or take)...at 60k miles, the PTU failed and the internal water pump began to leak. Warranty covered the massive bill. I immediately UPPED my warranty through Ziegler Ford for...

    MKZ Hybrid 12v Battery Discharge

    I am glad the double-click info reached you....I am still looking for the right Hybrid...and just as I was preparing to go see one, fuel prices skyrocketed! Now they are all going up in price and are selling even faster than the prices are rising! $5.96/gallon for 87 octane here!!! I am holding...

    Still Kicking

    Glad you are still around....I'm here too...not as often...seems Facebook community pages take most of my time(Mark VIII and MKZ). I am now searching for a Hybrid MKZ but with VERY specific options/color...my 3.7 Duratec is still going strong... Strange how we evolve as car enthusiasts as we...

    Transmission swap

    Most 4R70W's will work just fine(some panther chassis cars had longer extension housings so they are not a direct bolt in with your driveline length), but 98 (some late 97's had them) was the first year with the mechanical diode and updated shift accumulator pistons/springs and also the last...

    MKZ Hybrid 12v Battery Discharge

    I know the hybrid battery and all Hybrid components have a 8 year/100k warranty from its original "in service" date...That puts you to 2023 or 100k miles

    MKZ Hybrid 12v Battery Discharge

    I opted to purchase a Lincoln ESP warranty from Zeigler Ford for about $2k...I added some coverage to last through the remaining term of my loan. It's funny how they say "once you commit, you stop shopping" is true...I've "renewed my vows" with my 2015, at least for now. There are just not too...

    MKZ Hybrid 12v Battery Discharge

    Bud, I am considering replacing my 2015 3.7 AWD CPO reserve with a newer hybrid model. Have you had any mechanic issues with yours? From what I've read, the 2.0H is a workhorse, no issues, no transmission hiccups, and since the 2.0 is the non-turbo ECOBURST model, coolant intrusion in to the...

    MKZ Hybrid 12v Battery Discharge

    Do you have the power trunk lid? It is a known issue with them that it will continue to draw power after closing (the pull down motor). If so, that's where I'd start as it is a common problem. The fix is 1 of 2 things: Either a reflash of the module itself, or it may require replacement and then...

    The ones that got away...

    our 1969 Roadrunner 440-6pack...she was mean, hated me, drew blood, always wanted to look good, and was only happy when I treated her rough... But these two...the cars that made "Club 16"...my 94 mark VIII and her 97 LSC Club 16

    time travel

    How come I cannot go back and read replies to threads that were posted over 10 months ago? I wanted to reminisce about when I bought my MKZ last spring and go back and read the thread I authored asking about the MKZ but it only shows the original topic post I wrote, and none of the replies?

    MKZ questions for you folks

    Looking at the interior in pictures of a 2014 MKZ, I cannot tell so I thought I'd ask owners: as a 6'00" driver, I like my legs mostly extended when I drive but typically the steering wheel is too far away when I move the seat back to achieve the leg position I want. So this leads me to my...

    Dodge Charger

    Anyone here have any experience or own one of the 2012-present Dodge Chargers? I've been considering one. I love the Grand marquis, but once again, I am bored....it's a problem I have - I buy a lot of cars because after a year or two, I want something else. I wont lease a car because I...

    Thinking about MKZ

    Few questions: 2.0 or V6? Do they all have the ambient lighting? How is the driver's seat for ergonomics? I like the rake of the mark VIII seat position and was curious of the MKZ seat rake with regards to pedal position (6'00'" tall, and prefer extended leg seating rather than that feeling of...
