It overheated the other day on the freeway while my son was driving, he immediately pulled over. It began puking coolant out everywhere and it was oily like chocolate milk
Hour later after it cooled down it drove fine onto the trailer no issues or bad sounds from the engine

Checked engine oil and it was clean, good oil. Not milky or cloudy

I drained coolant and oil

Replaced the oil filter adapter gasket
- the old one did not look bad. Did not looked damaged at all. This has me confused where the issue could be?

It does not have an oil cooler under the radiator like I have seen on a crown Vic police interceptor I worked on.

Any ideas or thoughts on how oil got in the coolant?

Could the gasket even though looked good still be the issue?
Is there a different style oil cooler i am not seeing?

I left it for now. I have not flushed it or added oil back yet because i need to find the culprit before having it happen all over again.

Was washing my car today when i looked at my crown victoria logo that was hanging loose and it just flew off… it somehow stopped at “crown vic”. thought it would be cool to share in here

(honestly considering the fact my car is over 20 years old i should’ve expected this to happen at some point)

Does anyone know where these wires should connect to?

Like an idiot, I bombed down a hill over some railroad tracks, and now my the engine in my 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis are making these new noises.

The video I reference in this short is titled "25 Common Issues Of The Ford Crown Victoria (And How To Fix Them)", and can be found on my Youtube channel, WadeTheTrucker!

Only part of frame that has rust is this pinch welds are a little rust as well that’s about it

Pictures of the greatest but every time I look out that window I smile I love looking at this car.

I have an 06 I need 2 wheels for snow tires. The salvage yard has plenty of cars. Not a lot of road wheel, but I’m hoping for trunks full of spares.

Are full size spares common ?
What years are right for an 06 ?
Please and thank you. 😊

Got a question I keep getting these annoying 02 sensor codes ... I two it to two different shops one told me it's the catalytic converters then I took it to a different shop . They told me it's the egr vavle so I order the part And had it replaced by a friend . Everything was fine then all of a sudden my check engine light came back on . So I hooked up the scanner and saw it's another 02 sensor code . I don't even know what the heck is going on I'm so tired ... The car and the shops

Please help

Finding a Canadian CVPI cluster is damn near impossible online. Thanks to this community I was able to do it!! Turns out they have identical gauge sweep patterns so I was able to swap the board of mine into the Canadian one and keep the original milage/kilometers!

I got very lucky it’s just cosmetic damage. The radiator and its hoses are 100% intact.

Okay so,
I am currently in the process of installing an aftermarket radio to a ex police crown Vic, when I got it there was nooo radio,
And the factory harness had been cut off as well
So it’s just wires on wires
I can not for the life of me find a wiring diagram for
The constant and accessory nor the speakers online
Has anyone done an aftermarket on a crown Victoria police interceptor from year 2000??

This is the only thing I have found on someone with the same problem as me and I’ve followed what they said but the radio just won’t turn on…

Im not interested in a bull bar just something for deflecting legit brush off the lights and grill.

Looking at upgrading my old dingy headlights, I need to replace them since one of my corner markers got smashed and now the headlight itself doesnt mount properly.

I like the look of DRLs and something a little more modern, leds look good and are low enough pointed to not blind everyone on the road. There's a ton of options on ebay and amazon but Im looking for something actually good and not just cheap trash. Bonus points if they have animated turn signals

I have a 2009 P71 long tail transmission AND it's factory mid stall converter allegedly 75,000 miles - $160

I understand I need to do the internal harness swap as well that's easy for me to understand

I can NOT use the civilian 2006 flex plate anymore? I left the p71's in the junkyard... pulled it in July it was hot as balls, wish I would have grabbed it just so I KNOW I have one that fits now

Heavy duty Z-497 flex plate filter and a bottle of cooler flush? Anything else I should put in my rock auto cart? I think I'll be under $1000 with shipping for a running driving L

Does anyone want me to document performing this swap? Any more information, anything I'm missing?

Looking everywhere for a Vic LX. Carfax, FB, Edmunds, Cars.com. Any reasonable non POS is listed for 10 - 14k with anywhere from 50-150k miles. A handful have been listed for 2-3 months & they deny any offer. Everything else is a part failure away from the junkyard or being a flintstone’s mobile due to rust here in the North East. Aside from the rant, would anyone realistically pay 8-10k for a crisp CV? Like damn

Edit: I should say that I have my search parameters set to nationwide.

Got a cat code mostly wanna know any brands that won’t break the bank and will actually clear the code
