Right off the top the Ford service interval guide is great. They have a regular service and severe. Use that to stay on top of maintenance. That said I would expect the alternator to last about 100k, and if I had an original intake manifold I would

What you are saying makes sense, although I can't confirm it. The 6 CD OEM head unit pictured that came with my 2007 Sport with factory subwoofer/amp and upgraded OEM speakers (with separate tweeters in the speaker) was factory connected to its own

Thank You, I am not sure this is my issue or not, but worth looking into. I seem to have an inconsistent miss at idle and if your under light load moving 15 to 20 mph you can feel it miss, or jerk a little bit. If you step into it, doesn't miss. I

It would be tough to take off the elbow, knowing you are probably going to see something like this: I thought I had some better images of the intake and EGR also that showed the IAC but I don't.

Definitely O rings. What's the likely issue if the airflow is always at least slightly coming from the vents? It'll still switch between the other modes but it's always blowing a bit from the vents, it's easy enough to close them but I'm losing ple

Here's the main ding against the Panther becoming a collector car. It wasn't popular in its day, except with police and livery companies, and today its cult following is solely based on the fact that we've all recognized that it represents great val
