Replying to: lexusrocks (Mar 25, 2005 3:45 am) Hold on and see what happens in 2006 and 2008. The new Charger police model requires Ford to upgrade the car, especially power, or they will lose a big chunk of the market.
#2468 of 3244 Tie Rod Ends by dbc123 Mar 26, 2005 (5:14 pm)
Contrary to what is posted in #2465 there ARE 4 tie rod ends, inner and outer on two rods. Obviously poster is not familiar with CV/GM front ends. Replies to this message: markerman (May 08, 2005 6:47 am)

First, I second the motion for the 300HP installation of the 4.6 Mustang in the Panthers.   Second, what was the approximate cost to replace the tie rods? Did you have both sides replaced?

Ford would be wise to upgrade the drivetrain in the Panther. I would prefer if they replaced the current 4.6V8 (239hp/287lb-ft) with the 5.4V8 (300hp/365lb-ft) from the F150 and backed it up with a five speed automatic. Combine that with a freshening of the exterior and complete remodeling of the interior and Ford could easily squeeze several more years of service out of this ancient platform.
#2471 of 3244 yes, but by johnclineii Apr 07, 2005 (1:02 am)
One must remember that Ford MUST meet its Corporate Average Fuel Economy requirements or be hit with either a gas guzzler tax and/or penalties for each vehicle sold. One of the major reasons more power is available in trucks than large cars is the CAFE. With the current oil situation, I doubt this changes any time soon....

Replying to: nvbanker (Jan 06, 2005 8:54 pm) It's been a while since this post, but I thought I would reply anyway due to first-hand experience.   My 97 T/B with 4.6L V-8 that we bought as lease turn-in after 22,000 had the intake manifold problem. I started to pass another vehicle and suddenly cooling water and steam started going all over. I was a mile or so from dealer and limped quickly back to shop. Turned out to be a no cost Ford recall repair. There was a recall notice in the T/B glove compartment, so we assumed the lessee had had it taken care of repair--apparently not. Don't know what the water leak had to do with busted intake manifold?

Replying to: jjacob9105 (Feb 10, 2003 9:39 pm) If you have any additoonal info on this problem would appreciate it. I am trying to get Ford to pay for fixing the problem with my 97 Grandf Marquis.
#2476 of 3244 06' Crown Vic by mystique Apr 27, 2005 (1:32 pm)
Does anybody know if Ford is leaning towards using the 3 valve 4.6 in 06' to go with the update, and does anybody have pictures or drawings of the 06' facelifted Vic. I am particularly interested in the LX Sport but if they throw the new V8's in them i will wait until they come out.
