Replying to: marsha7 (Jul 10, 2005 5:49 pm) I'm sorry the auto light thing didn't work; I think that it keeps the lights on for a short time after the car is turned off, so I just extrapolated .   Indeed, Ford should standardize its features... of course, then someone paying $40k for a loaded F-150 might wonder how his truck is any different from a $20k Crown Vic LOL!

a feature like lights staying on should not be what differentiates 40K from 20K, any more than antilock brakes or airbags...IMO

Replying to: jkirk (Jul 11, 2005 5:50 am) Get a shop manual from your public library is the easiest answer. I would not start taking things apart without reading up on it entirely. Replies to this message: jkirk (Jul 12, 2005 7:50 am)

I doubt the library will have what you need. You will need a true Ford service manual.   You can get a copy of almost any service manual on CD from eBay for about $10 shipped.   Search: 1994 ford crown manual cd   You can sometimes find them on eDonkey.   Click me to see the best ride in town

Replying to: jsylvester (Jul 11, 2005 5:56 pm) THANKS! Just checked the local library and they have Chilton's Ford CV & GM 89-98 Repair manual. I've got it on order! This should be a good start....and if not, I'll try the cd off ebay.   Thanks, again!
#2597 of 3244 towing by reefslinger Jul 12, 2005 (11:01 am)
Hi guys, I just bought a 93 GM and had a class 3 hitch installed to pull my 3500 lbs boat. When I dropped the trailer onto the hitch, the car sat way too low to drive. I don't see any air shocks or a shut off in the truck. The springs are virtually new (they look brand new). What's easiest/cheapest way to beef up the rear end so it can handle my boat? Just add heavier springs? and also a tranny cooler? Thanks. Replies to this message: euphonium (Jul 12, 2005 7:26 pm)
#2598 of 3244 shutting daytime running lights off by reefslinger Jul 12, 2005 (11:06 am)
Another quick question, I have a 93 GM. I went to the drive-inn the other night and couldn't shut the day time running lights off by engaging the parking brake (the way I've always done it before) The car did'nt come with a manual, could someone please enlighten me? Thanks again.

I may be wrong on this, but Ford has never used DRLs (Daytime Running Lights) like GM and Toyota, so your lights are not DRLs, IMHO...   But, if your headlamps were set to automatic, usually one click counterclockwise on the headlamp switch, your lights may stay on for 90 seconds after engine shut-off for simple security lighting...naturally unneeded in a drive-in...   I am certainly subject to correction on this...   Where in creation do drive-in theaters still exist...Dukes of Hazzard County???

Replying to: marsha7 (Jul 12, 2005 5:53 pm) My '04 CV has daytime running lights; not sure where you got the idea that they never had them   There is a drive-in down Highbury Rd. South in London (Ontario, that is). It's cheap enough, but sitting in a car to watch a movie isn't my idea of a good time. Of course, I guess most people don't go there for the movies, eh?

Replying to: reefslinger (Jul 12, 2005 11:01 am) Look into the Monroe air shocks for replacing the rear shocks. The most economical installation is having the valve stem for manually applying the air each time you hook up the boat/trailer. More expensive is on board compressor. Locate the air shock valve stem so it is out of the way of loading the trunk.   Buy a high quality air gauge and put in 110 lbs pressure when towing or if mother in law riding back seat and 40 lbs pressure for normal driving. A 10,000 lb transmission cooler is highly recommended as keeping 35 psi in each GM tire.   Be sure the trailer has boat trailer tires, not passenger car tires. Have fun.
