Crown Vic update.
1. looks like the intake manifold cross over is a bit moist (happy womenz day) these manifolds last around 120-150k miles and since they are plastic they all leak eventually. The part is cheap $99, but the labor is "annoying". I have done this job twice already and don't really want to do it again.
2. The right rear tire keeps losing air (actually these tires are new (5k miles)) but it is a two hour trip to americas tire for them to fuck it all up.
3. the valve covers are "moist" also, they have been for a good 100k miles but it looks like it may start to drip onto the exhaust manifold, yes only 1-2 drops over night but still annoying. Ain't no way in hell I am fixing that though.
4. The car is on the same trans fluid for 45k miles, I normally change it every 30-35k, but I didn't think it would last that long, it is certainly going to be due at 400k... (in 8k) I don't know if I want to deal with 11.5 quarts of fluid and 17 bolts.
5. I ordered front brake pads OEM for $25... I guess I'll throw those on as these have 90k miles on them.
6. I am going to do an Oil change tonight
Overall, this car needs time and I am increasingly lazy when it comes to working on it...
