The Best Crown Victorias to Own ( By The Year ) Comment and Decide. somebody asked me about this so I put my spin to it. Many of you watching may have you take on this subject. I would like for you to comment bellow. Tell me the make and model of you Panther! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I bought my 99 CV LX 20 years ago this June with 50,000 miles. I am right at 370,000 right now, original motor, transmission, starter, water pump, etc. About time for brakes for only the 2nd time. Changed the intake manifold, fan and radiator, added dual exhaust, fuel pump twice, and new blower motor. Everything else is pretty much original. Most reliable car I have ever had.
wow bro this is amazing I have to pin this comment!... These cars are just so sweet for the DYIer... Cost effective all the way..
@@bstfordchannel923 I agree!!!!
My 2014 Volvo has 317000 miles and has only had regular service, changed starter last year and serviced by the book.
@@nov2263 well I like the s60 for some odd reason they seem to hold up a taste... Most cars now can last its just theowners and what day the car was built... Monday built cars are trash ( drunk hang over ) and friday cars are trash ( ready to go home ) lmao
Fax no car note nothing best paid for vehicle on the road
I have a 2009 P71 with 210,000 miles on the clock. I bought it 2 years ago for $2,300 with 174,000 miles. I have had to do nothing but change fluids. One of the nicest cars I’ve owned in my 52 years of driving. I’ve owned more cars than I can remember and I think I like this one best.
These cars are loved and respected by many guys in the car realm ... Chevy guys down to Dodge guys... Its a sweet comfy semi-boat type ride... The side isnt too big and it isnt small either.. just well balanced car
So would you say a 2009 police interceptor with 117,350 miles for $5999 is a good deal or no ?
Would you say - a 2008 P71 with only 45K miles and low idle hours, fully repainted, checked all fluids, with 16.5K price is a god deal? in LA
@@AleksandrIlchenko-vw3py I would think that’s a high price. But considering the mileage and low hours you say, are you going to find anything nicer for the same money? I gave $2300 for mine with 174,000 miles, 540 hours on the clock and I repainted the hood and truck lid for $1600.
@@JamesSmith-qx2mz yeah, I've think the same...but others crown vic in LA cost from 4K to 9K with mileage over 100K, and it's all black, I've hate black car) so, no way, white repainted and well maintained crown vic is my choise, thank you for advice!
I have a 2010 P7B. My third in 25 years. You delivered a lot of rare and valuable information. This is probably the best video on U-Tube on the Crown VIc, Thank You.
I thank you for that comment and I see you get down HEAVY with Crown Vics..I really enjoy nthe cars... they are very under rated or WAS underated.. Guys like us are keeping the passion for them..
@SAINT THE REALIST Stop at 3 bro cause i have 3 and i am looking for a Lincoln now... This is a bad deal i just want cars and more cars like i am a 80s drug dealer
@SAINT THE REALIST I had a 90 grand marquis back in the day...currently driving a 03....looking to buy an 05 lx sport vic with 55000mi on it...not really a ford guy but when I look back on my history most of the cars I've owned were fords...I like these panther cars though planning on doing a coyote swap 1 day
@@bstfordchannel923
Thanks for your awesome video!!! I miss the 2nd gen CVPI’s! Are 2010 & 2011 P7B really good? I think if I can find one that was only owned by a Fire Dept, driven by a fire chief it will be in better shape with less damage than any owned by police, right? Probably lower miles too?CHEERS mate‼️May you always have blue skies and green lights all the way💥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇳🇿

100% spot on with the '99 running hard.
I had one from Connecticut, was a fire chief's car. Before the rear end died, I used to launch and both tires would smoke at will. Would cruise at 100mph just as easily as 50mph.
lmao these 99 where special and they where lighter than the 03-up cars so its was a little better.. they just needed a better rear and some suspension work.... A solid rear would help also and some rust prevetion to.... Thank you for this comment bro!
I've got a 2011 P7B, it's an incredible machine
really I need a 2011 now dang. I want all the whale years that the plan many moons ago. that would be kinda cool.. Great car you have there bud
Same here, grabbed a 2011 P7B for $2K with 110K miles

I have a 2003 Lincoln Town Car. That is the best damned car I have ever owned. With a 90 mile round trip commute, comfort was important. As a daily, reliability was important.
No question about it. I won the commuter lottery.
EDIT: the front wheels won't flop out if ya take the car to a shop once a year and ask them to check it out. I asked the mechanic to check the front end when I had him change the transmission filter & fluid. It was already up in the air, so why not? I wound up replacing ball joints & control arms with parts that have grease fittings. I'll never have to replace them again.
Well written Skip a great read all the way through and correct on all point bro! I do miss my Lincoln I may have to get back to a Lincoln very soon
1992 vic gang, best year of panthers HANDS DOWN. nothing compares.
The man knows his Crown Vics 🍻.
I am still learning the nerd part of the vics. I just wanted to share a few things I have learned. thank you for th support and watching the video blipco5
He was using the plural tense.
I have an 03 “base” now heavy modified with cams, full suspension and rear end with over 350k on the body. :)
wow I wouldnt mind some cam but they cost some dough and cheese.. How does the car ride John?

Thanks for posting this ! I've had my 02 LX since 2006. Always gotten 23 mpg, will cruise at 100 mph all day long. Starting to show it's age though, just replaced the intake manifold, now gotta trouble shoot everything else. Yes... busted lower ball joint. I haven't had any spark plug troubles. Drag link steering still solid as a rock and has never had to be adjusted, I've only had to replace the tires twice for age not wear.
Even if this video was an hour long, there are guys like myself that will watch it like a movie lol I originally owned a 97 interceptor and years later I really regretted losing it how I did, but now I have an 03 LX, so absolutely I’m learning everything possible and eventually doing some minor upgrades, and buying a third to make my more muscly car lol 😂
Thank you so much for this comment PB cause this is a honor and blessing to see this comment bro! You can have 3 Vics and they all can be different get the 3rd and make Muscle car-ish thats a vibe there... Detail it just how YOU like it
What a great speaker you are my friend!
You are my Bro to Pete! Thank you so much for the comment and watching
I have a 02 Crown Vic police package with the floor shifter. So far it's been a pretty good car.

Nice video. I recently bought a 2010 P7B with only 84K miles. Luckily, the department redid the tranny shortly before auctioning it off. Great car! Solid beast.
I have done anything crazy with it either. I just tinted the windows (Florida heat) & have been enjoying it ...probably gonna replace that AM/FM radio though!
i just bought a 2010 p7b as well. it had 92k miles and i got it from florida so theres not a spot of rust on it at all. body is beat up as well as the trans but i planned on repainting and trans swapping anyway
Thank you for all of this great info. Very helpful.
I will take a moment to brag about mine. An '05 P71 56,776 original. Comes with "cheesin" effect and posi road stripes. Also 90's air conditioning juice for extra arctic cold Eskimo air. AND can sit in parking lot at 102 degrees outside in sun with air con on for 1 hr. and stay cool at n-o-r-m-a-l engine temp. And with lots of advice from majic hand that runs this here chanel oh ya. And thank you Bro man!

7:21 Spark plugs are blown out of the heads because many mechanics don't seem to understand that you CANNOT remove a steel bolt from aluminum while the metal is hot. When you do, you take out all of the threads with the bolt. I know from more than one instance of experience because I didn't listen the first time I was told.
very true but also i seen on these cars 4 treads on spark plug holes then add in what you said ( take aluminum when pulling out ) do this 3 times its spitting out... now on the 4v i have seen oil leak just slowly backed out spark plugs over time
Like I always say the one thing I love about your channel is the way you present things is so straightforward
Thank You for that THIS means a lot. just have a passion for these cars just want to be as honest as i can be.
I bought a 2006 CVPI with 123k miles last week drives like a dream love it
I just put around 200 miles on mine today and it needs some work... I wish mine drove like your brother D
I love the old aero coupes, but the Panthers seem to be easier to work on...except for that fuel rail guard on the firewall. I'm doing some rust proofing on mine today before the shitty northern weather hits.
One of the great things about em, is you can change the seats if you're lucky enough to find a grand marquis or Lincoln donor.
that is the beauty of this the flip flop of parts to do affordable upgrades in a snap!
@@bstfordchannel923 I think maybe we didn't buy enough new ones when Ford was still making em. Damn solid cars... but we remember when gas was hovering around $4 a gallon. That part sucked!🤣
I've got a 2011 cvpi as my first car up here in Ontario Canada. It's got some rusted out sections above the cats, and leaky valve covers but I still love the damn thing. Doing a bunch of work on it this weekend. Really glad I went with this car for learning how to work on cars in general.
Yes a very good car to learn how to wrench on... Glad you mention that I make a video on this and give you credit... a very good comment here bro.. I am happy you have the vic also!
@@bstfordchannel923 discovered my control arm bushing is toast while re-doing the shrouds on the wiring harness in prep for pulling out the valve covers (going to wiggle them out from under the harness and I don't want the little bits.of plastic dropping into the engine) so she's definitely giving me lots of practice in the next month lol.
@@bstfordchannel923 and sure enough the bolts holding the control arm are seized. Loving this month so far.
Awesome video! I'm love it. I think, unfortunately it wasn't enough long. 😄 👍
lmao well brother it was plenty long at 1st... I had to shorten it for the masses of people... I could have hit many other deeper points ... It would have have been a lot to digest for some..Thank you so much for he support Peter!
This video appeared in my recommended. Love the style you got here. Sounds incredibly factual and informative while somehow also sounding like an opinion and just off the cuff
I just bought 2008 p71 with only 48k miles, must’ve been a detective car it is super clean!
I have put you down the next video,. The car sounds slick bro
@@bstfordchannel923 like a showcase video of my crown vic?
48k you'll have that forever 💪🏾
One of the ways Ford worked on the development of the fleet vehicle program was sending a handful of specially prepared Lincoln's to the Kansas City Police department for testing. They were all supposed to get set back to Ford after the study and be destroyed but I know of a couple that slipped through the cracks and ended up as budget taxi's. I discovered this the hard way when I was running the maintenance shop for a cab company and went to replace a transmission in one of these Lincoln's. Needless to say I took it out of service and kept it for myself for many months.
Man i really love this comment... what was different about the Lincoln vs the ones they finaly sold
Basically thicker sway bars, heavy duty transmission cooler and no air ride. An ID tag on the door piller was stamped property of the Ford Motor Company. The cars were featured in a commercial for Mobil One oil and had Mobil One Synthetic oil only in 3 places under the hood, one next to the Property of Ford tag and one on the dash that someone had tried removing. I tried my best to buy it from my work but my boss saw I wanted it way too bad so he figured it was worth as much as a damn new 2000 Lincoln... I told him what he could do with the Lincoln, his garage, the tow truck of his that I also drove, packed my tools and loaded up my two cars I was building and quit and never saw the Lincoln again. Did have a friend try to buy it but, the jerk wouldn't come off of it. From what I've heard it ended up wrecked and scrapped 🙁
Great breakdown of the years. Thanks for the video
I have got a 2004 Ford Crown vic here in Norway . I really love it. The only issue I have had, is the headlight automatic in the black boks. The 4 mini card relays on the control board had to be changed. The headlights did suddenly cut out in dark. I did solder 4 new Omron relays. No all works fine. The frame on this is very rigid. But I had repainted with hammerite on some surface rust. They has salted ice roads here in Norway in winter. Has replaced Rusty rotors and brake parts. I use only Kendall motor and transmission oil for smooth ride.
Great information. I used to have an 08 P71. Best runner I had till a bimbo on a cellphone t bone the car. Still ran but was only a 3 door. Replaced it with an 07 with the peeling Grey paint issue. Strange to see a front pax fender mounted antenna. No flex fuel...Sigh. still a strong motor.
love this story OldM bad part was the T-bone which is like a blesing for you to be here. And that what counts you are here bro! These cars keeps running its crazy..
Excellent video... Spot on advice.
thank you for tyhis Robert . I was trying to cram all the info in a video (kinda hard to do ) so much stuff I missed...Thank you for the support on this subject bro!

Funny this is, a CARFAX report indicated the car was first purchased in North Carolina.
It also indicated the all the service, and maintenance work was performed in Concord, CA starting in the first 6 months of the cars life.
So the original owner bought in in NC, and then immediately moved to CA.
I'm the second owner.

I love my 2001 p71 with 59730 miles on it. I’ve owned a lot of cars from American to import, pickup to coupe and I absolutely love this car. Can’t wait to see what the future holds.
I have 98 grand marquis, just picked it up. Fell in love with these cars after getting my nephew one.
me to i did just like you .. i just fell in love with them 99 was my 1st Vic
I had an old school 1989 Ford LTD Crown Victoria with the “5.0L”. Black exterior and red interior with no dents, went 195k miles with no problems until the trans went out.
really that sucks sound like a clean ride Will B
Damn. I have the same car, too. But you have the color I wish to have. Mine is dark blue altogether.
I picked up a '02 GM LSE with floor shift and Handling Performance Package(HPP) with 120K miles for 2K. The front bushings and ball joints were original and worn out so I replaced the upper and lower arms with Moog But, I might put the stock lowers back on because it seems the Moogs raised the front almost an inch. It had a nice low stance before. I think the HPP option used different lowers than the other GM's. Coincidently my truck also raised up with new lower Moog arms whereas I thought I might have not set my torsion bars to the original height and now maybe not so. The GM originally had the airbag rear suspension that was removed before I bought it. I do need to replace the rear shocks(not looking forward to that) but, also wondering if it is worth it to put the airbags back in. I've never driven one with the bags so I have nothing to compare ride and handling to. This is my first Panther and I'm loving it so far. Parts are fairly cheap and plentiful and even last a long time.
I have a 1996 ford crown Victoria LX with 70k miles runs amazing and sounds great I plan on keeping this car forever 💯
as you should brother you have a great car !... Just hold on to it
Great video! I just bought a 1997 Crown Victoria LX, the car is mint. Runs great, just did about 4000 mile trip with it last week. Always garage kept, undercoated, no rot in the frame. Needs either an intake or the gaskets/seals. I always wanted a 2004-11, but the last of the areo type is fine for me, plus the A/C is ice cold!! Came with a stack of papers, I have every single invoice from the purchase of the car, up to the last service the lady had on it in 2021.

Agree with your assessment on 2004 as being one of the best years. Also, 2008 is a personal favorite. 08 used the older interior so parts from 2003 are compatible. I swapped in a complete 2003 MGM leather interior to my 08 CVPI and it is perfect.
That seems cool with the interior swap! I am doing the opposite on mine.. Turning my beat up Marquis into a Crown Vic then into a 5 speed Cobra Roush type deal... I just did the cluster here czcams.com/video/V8W9dUq-ruA/video.html trying to this all as cheap as possible.
@@bstfordchannel923 Haha, I added as many LX options to my 08 CVPI as possible. I also added LTC steering wheel and RKE. Can't live without my clicker, lol. I got the steering wheel radio controls to work the premium CD head unit. Auto climate control requires too many parts to try, plus I am done dropping dashes. My car already had TCS and foot pedals. Those options can be added.

Great vid, man! Thanks for sharing! I’ve had two P71’s: a ‘98 and an ‘06. I don’t know of any better “bang for your buck” car than Crown Vic cop cars! Ran ‘em both up to about 200k miles before letting them go. Currently driving a 2013 Charger Pursuit with the 5.7 HEMI. Better power, handling and modern refinement…but the CVPI will always have a special place in my car guy heart. I’ll probably have another at some point…and/or a Lincoln Town Car toward the end of their run. There’s no substitute for a big-a$$ American sedan with a V8 and rear wheel drive!
…90’s Fleetwood and Roadmaster are also on the radar…
Thank you for a well put comment Martin... You can beat a 2013 Charger its just a better car, BUT we have to see if they last 20 years down the line ( on the same engine ) more hp creates more heat and blah blah blah.. so the lower liters helps the Vics to last but hp isnt there

VERY VERY true even some of the 5.4 and these 04-up vics also.. people do not want to say but drive you vic dang near 24hrs a day watch you will need a quart a week

Handy Dad is the Rodney Dangerfield of CZcams. He doesn't get the respect he deserves.

Interesting.
I'm going to start doing that.
Trying to get motivated...
I have an 02 that needs ball joints, thing sounds like a tank.
My 03 needs both window motors...
A labor of love.
tackle one side at a time.....( if you can ) dont rush or give yourself a time limit.... There is not time limit just get it done.... The only thing some ball joints are different sizes so get that part from the parts store
I bought a '07 Lincoln Town Car in Jan, '23, with 37K on the clock. A true Little Old Lady estate buy (RIP and I will take care of it to honor your memory). Thanks for doing this video...good info here. Most impressive was the optional Louisville Slugger hood prop. I must have gotten the poverty package without, tragically. But seriously, keep making these informative videos. As for key rings, my father's could be used as a set of brass knuckles in a fist fight. Have no idea how popsy could keep track of them. Keep on keeping on my friend!
thats a beautiful Chris that you are going make sure its well kept... Thats how ya do it brother just keep her clean and you have to drive it like the old lady for awhile until ya massage it to your style of driving ( sounds nutz I know )
Excellent video!
thank you for this brother. i have another video coming up commenting on your last video you dropped. I like that video going to comment on that in a few. Going to the junkyard to check on something.
@@bstfordchannel923 Thanks man. You cracked me up when you said you were trying to make an Almanac for us! This was very detailed and I appreciated it.
You going to check on that Torino? WINK WINK
Just picked up my first Vic, she's a '99 Police Interceptor with 131k apparently from Vegas that made its way up to Canada here after it was auctioned off, and I LOVE IT! Such a fun car, and definitely has an aggressive feeling tune for being one of the lower horsepower vic's. The trac lock chirps the tires every time I pull out from a stop on just an 1/8th of the throttle! I saved it from rotting away in a buddys parents yard after she spit out a plug and he decided to just leave the poor thing for a year instead of getting it repaired. Its been a wild ride doing all the maintenance and fixing what was neglected on it for years, but it's a solid project so far and back to being a daily driver. Currently doing the suspension and next up a better exhaust! And maybe I'll get rid of the crappy cone filter that came on it if I can manage to find a stock airbox somewhere... Anyway really enjoy your videos dude, cheers!
Congrats on the new vic.. Welcome aboard yes that vic just has something with it. Amazing what they did for that year. ahhhhh man I wish i had traction loc .. lol
@@bstfordchannel923 Thanks dude! yeah I'm really lovin' being in the panther gang now great community for these awesome cars. And yeah man, looks like I'll have to be a bit careful with that trac loc now that its snowy season up here though lol... she gets a little squirrely on wet roads !
@@mikk0 can check junk yard or pick a part as they call it here in tx. How's it coming along its been a year since ur comment
@@daviedood2503 Damn crazy that it's already been a year! The vic is doing great man, best car I've ever owned. Had to do quite a bit of work between then and now but it's all been so worth it. Suspension, front end overhaul, exhaust, brakes/calipers/rotors, alternator, air box + MAF, TPS, diff fluid, tires+rims, bunch more little things like that. Crazy enough she's been an absolute solid daily throughout all of that. These cars are tanks! All that's left is a paint job - Gotta love that peelformance white...
And yeah we call them Pick n' Pulls up here in Canadastan, but there's been pretty much no vic's in yards around here for miles. Managed to get most of what she needed from rockauto on great deals though. Crazy how their shipping usually takes 4 days to get up north here from way down in the states, yet an amazon package takes two weeks to travel one province over up here 😂
@@mikk0 hey thats awesome bro. I'm looking into these as they seemed to be pretty affordable, and I remembered my dad had one. Was a late 80s model. The boxed type with that 2 tone paint. Like tan body and dark brown around the backend, top area, by the back glass if that makes sense.
Folks were saying they got them for $900 or $1500 here and there, but the cheapest I found in deep south TX was like 5 grand. The hell is up with THAT $ht...
Are they super rare now or something? Was thinking a p71 would be very good to have since it's got High performance parts and durable as hell. I'm not looking for pretty, I'm needing function without getting pulled over etc. I can do cosmetic crap way down the road. Folks saying they go 500k miles on original engines etc definitely caught my eye. I recently got cleaned out by my ex a year ago and this year of having NO CAR for the first time in 20 years, definitely opened my eyes to just how much a person needs one despite Uber existing. 😂
I figured these would be easy to work on, even tho I'm not a mechanic. I want that sense of pride of fixing something I've never worked on before. And figured I could build up my mechanical knowledge on the vic if I ever get one. I don't feel very confident messing with motors etc bc I've never really done it. The most I can do is plug in the obd2 scanner, read the code, go get the correct part. Problem is I don't know how to swap it out. Afraid IL break something and turn a $50 jib into a $500 one 😂
Sorry long post. Anyways, is there a Web page or something that u know of that u use to look for these cars ???
Thanks for the info
I have an '04 Crown Vic Interceptor and to hear him say those are the best ones makes me feel truly blessed since I like to mod EVERYTHING from cellphones to I guess now cars. Hahaha! I definitely enjoy the smooth ride my Interceptor gives me, I do slow takeoffs from stoplights and it always makes me laugh when the kid in the Acura takes off and then I catch up once I hit my 40mph. Thanks for the info. I'll sell ya'll my '04 Interceptor for anyone interested; $3,000 in GREAT condition. 215,000+ miles
I have 04 also... the do say thats one of the best .. These cars are great bro.. It seems you really enjoy the car you have.. i will put your name in the next video for the panther body roll call bro.. thank you for sharing this comment. i really enjoyed it!
Mine's a 1999. Almost 122K miles. Done a lot of maintenance to it but it's all original otherwise. Nearly new condition inside and out, underside looks like brand new!
yo sir have a gem brother .. i want 1999 again, just did not see the vision at the time
@@bstfordchannel923 Mine's also a grand marquis. Was a 1 owner for 16 years.
Amen as good as we keep them UP to be.
@@bstfordchannel923 you can buy my 99 lx It got 237,000 miles

Ok I have a 04 marauder and a 1994 grandmarquis. This is my 2nd marauder and my 2nd 1994 grandmarquis. I must say these 1994 grandmarquis will run forever if tooken care of. I sold my 1st 94 with 240,000 miles. The 94 I have now has 75,000 and runs like a sowing machine.
wow thats crazy you have some good machines Fresh-V I have to get a few older ones under my belt. Love the comment
@@bstfordchannel923 God bless bro, I learned a jewel from you on one of your videos a couple months back. You said " sometimes we think it takes money to Do a project or a build, but actually I need to just DO the build to see progress". You said a little more hut this sums it up. Preciate your knowledge on the panther platform.
Also have a friend who has a 94 Town Car that we're working on fixing up. Luckily I already know my way around that engine configuration thanks to my ownership of a 97 Thunderbird and a 94 Cougar. Huge sigh of relief came when I saw it did not come factory with the rear air suspension. But now that you've mentioned valve seals, an issue I didn't have with either my Cougar or Thunderbird, is making me wonder if that's why the engine is burning oil. If that's the case, he may end up just selling it.
Well I like the 09's cus they had all the bugs worked out on the new chassis updates . Oh they found mine so I'm gonna got git it.
right on Rob !
Now that it's out there and the general public knows about the fleet keys and the other " bad " things about the p71 's . I wonder what systems out there are good at keeping thieves from stealing the entire car or at least slowing them down?
Picked up a 09 p71 today w 130k miles on it. Very clean for 3600
Thank you for this video! I've owned 8 crown vics and grand marquis. Best cars I've ever owned for under 5k. Learned alot from this video, appreciate it! Thanks

Great video, super bummed there’s no part 2 - I’m picking up a ‘11 P7B tomorrow and not super knowledgeable on all these fascinating details as you are. Please do a video on the remaining model years! PS, love that ram air hood cutout on that ‘03/‘04 (forgot which year it was). Subscribing!
thnak you for thsi Thomas I have to stock pile some info and really do a parts 2 of this. Its takes a min to make a video like this ( cause there is so much info ) to put down in 10 mins. Thank you for this comment and thank you for the sub... The channel is a bit slow, but I am working on some things Thomas
Just found this channel and im super impressed great knowledge on some of the most reliable cars made good video bro

Thank for this Brian, I just dig the Crown Vic so i just add my spin to things thats all dude... Thank you for the comment. This was very cool !
2005 P71, 356k miles. Original engine and trans. I love how my year was a transition year, so some parts are from an 04, some were on 06+. Also the only year with an external radio antenna, for some unknown reason
yup lmao that puzzles all this that 2005 .. sound like you have a cool ride John...
@@bstfordchannel923 found out from a ford engineer. The 03-04 cvpi had a lot of electrical interference from the engine, so in 05 they mounted it on the quarter panel. For the 2006 model year, they figured out that they just needed to add more grounds to it. Hence why 06+ have like 10, even the suspension is grounded.
You have 1st or 2nd half of 05? second helf cvpi haa the maurader style airbox.
When you have time JOHN can you rate this exhaust sound on The Crown Vic czcams.com/video/SxIVFtJ1S5A/video.html
@@ItsDaJax All 2004+ P71 have a cold air box that is based on the Marauder design. 2005.5s have plenty of advantages over 2005s in many areas - newest firmware for the DBW system, 31-spline rear axles, revised electrical system, others. I have a 2005.5 that was built in June of 2005; have had this car since early 2014 and it runs like a top. Despite the fact it has almost 300k miles on it now. I also swapped the instrument cluster for a 2006 (which needed a 2006 PCM to run it). Oh, and since it was built so late in the MY (June 28th), many of the factory installed parts on it sport 2006 part numbers.
Also, in 2005 these cars adopted electronic throttle, or throttle-by-wire. So the throttle body was different and so was the transmission. The pre-05 cars have the 4R70W transmission and the '05-up cars have the 4R70E. Although not super widespread, there were issues in the first few years, I think about '05-07 or so, of a bad signal being sent and opening up the throttle fully even without a foot anywhere near the accelerator. I actually experienced this myself in a 2006 Grand Marquis sitting at a red light and nearly rear-ended the guy in front of me. Thankfully I quickly threw it into neutral and cut the engine off. Again, I do not think this was a super common issue, but there are several hundred complaints about this same thing, so I certainly wasn't the only one. Not sure what they did, if anything, to resolve it, but personally I am staying away from the 2005-11s. I have a 1997 Grand Marquis now with 256k miles and it's my daily. Great, reliable car.
grea info here bro... thank you so much for sharing! You are right these are great cars ( reliable ) carsa
The DBW issue was addressed by November of 2004 so it only applies to pre Nov. 2004 built 2005 my cars that have not been updated.
Wow. Great video. Excellent
thank you for that brother and I am working on this car here Rudi czcams.com/video/BHlDSH_Y9tM/video.html
awesome vid. good work !!! '99 Vic here.
Got you down for the 99 bro!
I own a 2010 P7B the last two years of the vic are the best they coast more up front but they all have cast iron Romeo blocks and F-150 transmission and there on the F-150 frame mine has the j-mode ( shift kit) it's set up for E-85 these are hard to find they where all city cop cars and are very fast not many made it the cops gave em hell .
you are correct there where plenty cabs made with the E85 set up. Man this was a Great comment by you Dennis . thank you for sharing this
A cuz thanks for the video,I think the best crown vic. Was the06 and on maybe you will agree your biggest fan😊😄😂😀☺️😁
the 06 is like the 07 08 09 10 and 2011 same thing little slight different stuff, but nothing major..Thank you for this comment.. thank you for the support and the HEAVY heavy support JP. thank you bro!
The 08 is claimed to be the fastest by a small margin.
I have had it since 25k miles and it now has 196k on it, it's never given me a engine problem, the only thing I had to replace was the LCM and it was only 180 bucks I get about 16mpg city and 22mpg highway, and on stock battery I have a 8000w audio set up dual kicker 15s with 6.5inch mid speakers 2/4" gauge and a 8500w amp

yes they are same parts wise, but a totally different feel i bet..I love this Dennis
