Finally got back in an RBV. Got me a white '94 Maxda B4000 Sport. I put in my Escort GT seats 2 days ago, dont have pic of intall. My list of things to do this year is short, though. PICS WILL BE ADDED LATER TONIGHT. Gonna take plenty while i'm givin it a good service. Current Mods- Escort GT...

Dropped the Escort GT seats that I've had in storage for almost a year into the B4000, but the seats don't have the hardware to connect the tilt lever on the seat to hook to the upper track's release lever so people can more easily get in the back. Thankfully it's not all jammed up and can be...

After all the turmoil of trying to obtain obtain a reliable vehicle for about a year after what happened to my first Ranger (some of you may remember that fiasco, last friday I aquired a '94 Mazda B4000. It's pretty solid and well equiped from the factory. Already dropped in the Escort GT...

I know that flushing oil is just lightweight oil, but I need to clean some bad deposits out of the Vic's engine, (as enplained in a previous thread) it's got a grit like buildup that I'm pretty sure got knocked look and distributed after it was put in as it had been sitting a while. One friend...

Long version in short form: Unfortunate things happened, I no longer had my Ranger. My uncle gave me an '84 Mazda, more unfortunate things happened. I then aquired my Vic and sold the Mazda. I bought an engine, had it installed, now more unfortunate things. Details on the recent unfortunate...

Well, engine got installed and the engine runs fine, but the tps is actin up and it wants to die when you go to put it in drive (it idles fine). I doubt it's the sensor itself, because they tried 3 sensors on it and it did the same hing, so unless all 3 were bad, the only other thing I can think...

Basic steel rim, always in black. I know they aren't rare, but I can't seem to find them anywhere online and I have no clue where I could get them from in the right size/bolt pattern. I can't find the picture I had taken of a pair of 6-lug ones I had, but heres a Buick wearing some (sorry for...

Obviously it varies, but about how many hours does it take to install the whole system? I probably wouldn't attempt to do the instal myself, so a ballparked estimate on labor costs would be good too.

Thanks guys. I should point out that this question is in reference to my Vice. I'd like to lower a truck but not bag it. My main concern was the ride quality. I've been racking my brain on whether to focus on total performance or make it a cruiser, but if I can still have great handling on bags...

I've been tossing around the idea of getting a CB for a while, and after looking it seems the Uniden PRO510XL is a good unit for a good price and the reviews I've seen were favorable. Anyone have experience with this model? Also, I know nothing about choosing an antenna, so suggestions on that...

I've got a hook on an engine for my Vic, but I've got nothing to set it on while I prep for the install and remove whats left of the engine that's still in it. I don't have anything to set it on tho, and I have been making calls and it doesn't seem I know anyone whom I could borrow one from. Are...

1. What's the average cost for a mild setup for 4 wheel controllable air ride suspension? 2. I've heard pretty consistantly that your ride quality and handling suffers a good bit when going to an air ride system. How accurate is this, and is so are there systems which offer the function but...

I'm tryin to remove the factory stereo in my Vic, I picked up some removal tools and the left side is coming out but the right tool just slides out, and I can feel when it sets into where it should be yet it just comes out when I pull. Do the removal tools work on the same principles as key...

I'm making a parts list for my Vic so I can look up prices and know what I'm gonna need to save up and budget to get stuff. I'm most asking about sound, but if you want to suggest a good set of headers (that are affordable) for the 5.0, go ahead. I'm most inquiring about sound and pipe sizing (I...

Yesterday I aquired my newest love, my LTD Crown Vic, I have pretty much diagnosed the engine issue, but the trans did something I've never encounter before eprsonally. When in overdrive, past 45/50 MPH, when OD should kick in, it felt as if the engine magically disconnected itself from...
