    My Restoration of a 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII CE

    Some of you may remember me from Carlisle 2009 and I've poked around on the forums many years ago. I've also been posting this restoration on Facebook, but figured I should share it here for those that aren't on Facebook. I also just registered to go to Carlisle 2022! A little back history is...

    Cruise Control Question

    So picked up a new to 98 Continental yesterday. I noticed on the way home the cruise control doesn't work. You turn it on, and it says "cruise control ready" but if you press the Resume/Set Accel button nothing happens. I swear the first time I tried the info briefly displayed "Cruise Control...

    Picked Up Another Lincoln Yesterday

    Well we bought a 98 Lincoln Continental for our son yesterday for his first car. It needs a bit of work (brakes, some front end work, and an upper engine mount/torque strut). So nothing major and it was clean overall. Got it for $1400 with 147k on it...

    Random High Revs

    We have an 09 Lincoln Navigator that likes to occasionally rev up when slowing down to make a turn or park. For example, it will occasionally rev up to about 1500 RPMs when making a slow turn or pulling into a parking space. It almost feels like it's just late downshifting into 1st. Car has...

    Power Running Boards - 07 and Later

    I need some help with the power running boards on my 09 Navigator. I have found a ton of info on the pre 07 running board issues (which were a different design) but very little on hte 07 and later. The driver side running board started making a god awful noise and not really moving up or down...

    Lincoln Navigator Air Suspesion

    Howdy, It's been a while since I troubleshot an air suspension issue, so I wanted to run it by you guys. This afternoon we noticed it was sitting low while running (not check engine light though). After a few minutes the car was riding at it's normal height again. By the time we got home...

    The sunroof on our Lincoln Navigator doesn't close and pop up to become level with the car anymore. I've hunted down a few options so far. 1 - Dealer - Wants $1800 to replace the entire sunroof track assembly. 2 year, unlimited mileage warranty 2 - Top King (local custom shop) - Wants $800 to...

    09 Navigator Air Suspension

    The compressor runs often on my 09 Navigator which makes me think the bags may be leaking. By often, I it may run twice or more just going through a drive through somewhere. I'm going to turn the suspension off and see if it drops, but in the mean time I'm shopping for new bags. Boy are they...

    Restoration of my 88 F-150

    I've been in possession of my Grandpa's 1988 Ford F-150 Custom that I remember him buying new in Dec 1987. It's a 4.9 straight 6 with a 5 speed manual 4 X 4. It's been in the family since then, but sat in a barn for roughly 7 years after he passed. I picked it up about two years ago and have...

    Car Part Question

    I'm getting ready to do some restoration work on my old truck and wanted to know what the name of the little piece of weatherstripping is called where the roll down window meets the door on the bottom edge. As that may be a confusing description, I provided a picture. Thanks!

    Unknown Dash Light

    Just curious but does anyone know what the dash light that looks like two circles is supposed to be? It's not mentioned in the owners manual so I'm guessing it's not used, just curious if anyone knew what it was originally intended for.

    Soon to be a Lincoln family again

    It has been nearly two years that a guy, probably texting, hit me going 45 MPH in my beloved Town Car. He was my BABY! People thought I was crazy because of how upset I was. Being as picky as we Lincoln fanatics are it was not a car that could be quickly replaced in the time we needed to get a...

    New Ride - A good reason to stop by and say hi!

    Well I finally broke down and picked up a new ride today. I had been looking at a used 2013 Taurus Limited, but with the new financing deals a new 2013 Taurus Limited was the same price. Did I miss anything exciting at Carlisle this year? Joe and I were actually in Des Moines getting married!

    88 f-150

    I've had my eye on this F-150 for at least the last 20 years or so...as it was my Grandpa's. They sold it this weekend in an estate auction, so I picked it up for $550. It had just had all new tires put on before it was parked in a barn 4 years ago. I put in a new battery and it would crank...
