This is the frost vehicle I have upgraded things in that need more juice so I decoded to go all new and researched before I bought. I am at a loss right now. I drove on the freeway and when merging my airbag light came on and ipc shut down.

 

I pulled over checked the wiring and belt. They were fine. Started it up and then it said service brake booster.

 

Shut off again and restarted and all is well.

Got the oil changed and picked up some batteries for some of the pistols I carry (Crimson Trace laser grips) now that my CPL finally arrived.

Step 1. 2 bucket wash (using grit guards) using ONR (optimum no rinse) and a schmitt foam wash mitt

Step 2. Cleaned the paint using Ultima paint cleaning system. It is kind of like a claybar, but its actually a foam block. Used this for the first time. It worked ok.

Step 3. Used some Adam's waterless car wash just to make sure everything was clean

Step 4. Sealed paint using Blackfire Cystal sealant. This stuff is great. Spary on the paint and use a small foam pad to wipe into the truck. I let this cure for at least 24 hours before step 5

Step 5. Topped the sealant with Collinite 845. Used a simialr foam pad to apply

Hope this helps. Pretty simple 2 day process

I go between my phone and computer so I miss some things. I got 24k gold ring terminals made by Stinger. A stereo shop may have it all I got my stuff from Darvex.com. 15 ft of cable, and 4 sets of terminals the subtotal was $84.81 then add the $54.70 for 2 day shipping for a grand total of $139.51 for that.

 

I wanted to find good stuff but no one around here used stinger and that was more of a want than a need.

Here's what's been pooping in my backyard. I put him in the back of the truck and hauled him off to some woods on our property.

    • I was the GM of a Lincoln Mercury dealership back in the 80's. The service lot was always full with "broken" ones. Plenty of transmissions, power windows and a/c repairs. The only one I'd consider owning would be the Marauder at this point and it certainly wouldn't be a daily driver.  My 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate is my "Lincoln Town Car" in my retirement. I want all the "stuff". Big infotainment screens, one touch power windows, Supercruise (I won't buy another vehicle without it), hands free pretty much everything. I'm going to swap my current truck for a 2027 Yukon Denali Ultimate so I can have the air suspension and surround vision recording along with all the other "stuff". 
    • Yep mine is on backorder also.
    • The Denali Ultimate's grille is tinted, but the "regular' Denali has a bright chrome grille like the current models.
    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
