No, the 66-67 and early 68s all had the MEL based 462 (340hp, 485 lb ft), it was mid 68 when they transitioned the Lincoln to a more Ford based V8 with the 460. Mine had the 2.80:1 rear end with limited slip (well it would light both tires up at least like it had it), my parts car had the...

100% sure. Lincoln wanted the best I guess and in the late 60s I assume AC/Delco was it. I was really surprised when I saw that too while I had the dash apart working on some burnt out bulbs. Installed you would never know it was AC/Delco. But when I removed it, the sticker had AC/Delco on it...

I miss my 67 Lincoln to this day. It was auto/power everything, even the clock on the dash had an auto winder for the classic clock gears/springs. While mine did have the auto-climate system (just set the temp like in a modern car and it adjust heat/AC as needed), the auto parking brake release...

It's more about the grill design for light fitment than any lighting or wiring difference. There are only 3 grill designs. We call them XL/XLT, Lariat and Ford Performance. The default grill for the XL/XLT (packages could change it / Pictured is the black appearance package version) The...

Mower vs car is not even a valid debate though. Yes minute to minute a push mower may emit more emissions that a car, or even a few cars running for the same time frame, but the run time of all cars combined verse all mowers combined the cars will emit way more emissions and even the run time...

They will never again offer a basic trim cars stripped to that level, for one the screen is required as part of the current backup camera requirements having it touch enabled reduces cost by removing physical buttons. The profit margins are not enough on bare bone commuter cars. They work for...

Oh, well that is really poor programming, or maybe a safety feature? But, only a safety feature though if they documented that as the reason that reverting the CC to a model that should not use the sensor that it would still reject to cruise to to expected poor road conditions along with sensor...

The only "follow cushion" a driver is responsible for is the one in front of them. I've already said what a driver is if they feel the need to manage the one behind them.

My adaptive CC will remain active down to 10MPH. One night I wanted to see how high it would let me set the cruise, so I had it set at 100MPH for 30 miles, But was only going 55-60MPH behind my daughter's car though. My biggest disappointment with the CC is I can't disable traction control and...

If the sensor is blocked, you can switch CC to Normal in the menus (Driver assist -> Cruise -> Normal).

A driver's concern while driving forward is what is in front of and next to them. And to a minor extend behind if they need to slow down for traffic or such, but more for oh shit that vehicle behind me can't, or ain't gonna, stop, can I safely evade impact. But any driver changing their speed or...

I'm still not sure that engine coolant temps alone would be the determining factor on if the control valve opens, it just seems like it would be too easy for the transmission to fail under that logic if the engine cooling improved with a larger, more efficient, radiator and lower temp thermostat...

Was your first line supposed to say "The transmission heat exchanger does nothing until transmission fluid temps hit ~200F."? Because if the engine temps are 180 and it'll do nothing at that temp means no cooling at all for the transmission in OE setup, which I doubt is what you meant to say...

I think that after start up and as while not under a load the heat exchanger may be used to help bring the trans temps up to targets using the engine coolant temp. I would not be surprised to see error codes if the truck sees engine temps at 190, trans temps at 110, and it has the valve set to...

So, what is the cooler install plan? Are you planning to directly cool the transmission fluid through an aux cooler after the it exits the transmission fluid heat exchanger (TFHE) before going back to the transmission, or are you planning to run the coolant that goes to the TFHE through an aux...

I disagree with one listed item, reliability. The 10R80 in the Ranger has proven to not be for many of us. If AI research can be trusted, it's estimating that in Mustangs the 10R80 has about a 5% fault rate, and Ford has stated the MT82-D4 manual has a fault rate of about 3%, mostly related to...

I scanned this service ticket in and this is overview AI provided. I guess that confirms it was not in my head.

The differences for LED / non-LED are pretty well known at this point. I do think you can configure the DRLs to be on while the lights are in OFF mode through the IPM settings, as I recall I set this to off on my Ranger since I didn't need to have them on while driving since they are not a...

I finally went for coffee this morning. There's a light rain today. Truck needed 4WD and rear diff locked to get out of the yard.

New Bern is just West of me and we got more snow here. Today a neighbor with a skid steer was clearing people's driveways. I don't need it as I'm working from home but it was mostly done when I found out he was doing that. If I needed it done, I'd send the 17yr boy out with a mission.
