    fun with turbos

    No, it's not what you were expecting. Our Libby CRD blew out a hole in the intercooler-to-intake hose and it's been all sorts of "fun". :( A big thanks to Chrysler for making hoses that can't withstand contact with oily residue. :mad: There's a company that's trying to get some oil-proof hoses to market, but apparently not soon enough for our particular Libby. I've got a lead on a used hose though, and maybe I won't have to pay the stealership $106 for something that should have been a freaking recall. sigh... Worst part is that this is taking time away from my repairing of the Grand Marquis that I'm driving 742 miles to Georgia next week. :headpop: grrrrrrr...... rant over. :rant: or is it? :roll:
  2. I believe it's an interior pressure relief vent. So that when you slam the doors shut or kick the A/C on full blast, the air has somewhere to go. I accidentally covered the vents in my Dakota and it would hurt your ears if you slammed the door shut. :(
  3. For short trips it never mattered, since Carly never takes her eye off what's out the window. For longer trips I usually stuff a sleeping bag or whatever in the footwell and use towels on top of that to make a flat area for her to lie down. I've never thought about building anything. Oh, and back in the day when I took my larger dog Perri places, I removed the whole passenger seat and built up a bed on the floor thick enough so that he wouldn't feel the seat bolts in the floor.
  4. All my tires are at about 15 psi. there. :D
  5. No problems with converting my 88 4.0 to 4wd. Until I crushed the exhaust on a log. And then crushed the new exhaust in the mud (used that stupid flexy pipe). Now I'm back to stock exhaust again. So far so good. :roll:
  6. We're not the only ones chasing down weird leaks. I'm dealing with that on the Grand Marquis and would probably never EVER found the culprit if it wasn't for a Vic/Marquis/TC club site. Long live the internet!

    Custom Comanche

    Yup, from Rob's details in the classifieds, it sits on a big Jeep frame and has a 360.
  9. Meh. Vents are okay and all, but a powered vent is soooo much cooler! :D (pun intended)

    Custom Comanche

    It's posted in our classifieds sections, but I wanted to make sure the everyone had a chance to check out this sweet ride. :D
  11. wicked.... :D Know what engine he's looking to run?
  12. Be prepared to pay out the nose. Or some other orifice. Like to the tune of $750 for an MJ Dana 35.
  13. I remember seeing that movie in the theater and when the MJ came on screen I elbowed my friend and said, Hey check it out! It's a Comanche! And then it gets wrecked. :cry: At least in "Sahara" they burned an XJ instead of the MJ. :D
  14. Sounds like a random gremlin. Let me know if it persists. :cheers:

    any body up

    I love late night wrenching. :D Although I do make sure my cell phone is in my pocket. Just in case I get pinned under a transmission or something. :roll:
  16. Some good reading here: :cheers: http://www.madxj.com/MADXJ/technical/te ... pgrade.htm http://comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6611
  17. :eek: That's a new one by me. Does this happen every time you search? Only when using certain parameters? What do you mean by "Could not insert search results" ?
  18. Too bad it'll all be for naught when they win the series and lose to the Redwings. :D
  19. I have a feeling you probably won't get all that great of a product with that 50 kb image. :roll:
  20. Yeah, what he said. :D
  21. If you're trying to upload your own photo, you can email me the picture (fullsize please) you want to use and I'll do the rest of the work for you. :D petermontie@hotmail.com
  22. Power steering is a bolt-in upgrade. :D
  23. And go oh so fast. :D Congrats on both counts!
  24. It's not incredibly common, but not unheard of either.

    shooting

    Hmmm, last time my Scout troop went shootin' I brought the Winchester model 94 (in .32 Special), the .22, the single shot 20 gauge, and my buddy brought his Glock (in 40 cal), Bulldog .44 revolver, and 12 gauge mossburg pump.
