Rays B4U

I know we discussed this when we all were getting the 03's, but I don't know if anyone actually tried it. Some have had them powder coated.

From the owners manual: Temperature and Compass Display Press the on/off button, located to the far left, briefly to turn the comp/temp display on or off. If the display reads CAL, you will need to calibrate the compass. For more information on calibration, see below. To adjust between Fahrenheit and Celsius do the following: 1. Press and hold the on/off button for approximately 2. Press the button again to change the displayt o the four seconds until either a flashing OF, or "C appears. desired unit of measurement. After approximately four seconds of inactivity, the new unit will be locked in and the compass/temperature display will return,

Oink Oink too that!!!! Yeah ... Rumor has it that the Crown Vic is going bye bye. I don't know what Ford will replace it with. The impala's do have more "Leg Room" than the Vic. I believe it to be the Cage that they put in. The vic's cage was only about 6-8" from the rear seat, due to the seat position. The Impala's have about 12-14", and it seems that they are made out of thinner metal than the old school vic cages. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I received a letter from Ford a few months ago that addressed the speculation of the demise of the CV, here is a clip from that letter. "Since the "Way Forward" announcement, we recognize there has been extensive speculation regarding the future of many Ford products, including the Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. The purpose of this letter is to clarify Ford's position on CVPI and ensure you have accurate information. The bottom line: • Ford Motor Company is committed to the law enforcement community. • Ford Motor Company will continue to produce the CVPI well into the future." The letter is on their website too. Looks like the CV is still with us for at least another year since they have the 07's on their website.

Shhhhhh....I think he wants to know if they are OEM, I wonder if "Genuine GM" is OEM.

Us Old Farts are slow! Been here since May 4, 2003 and still don't have 1K!

I have an '03 SSS with 30K on the odometer and no vibration here, smooth as glass.

I don't see why not, this is all that is left when you remove the V plate after you've hooked up the trailer.

Damn, nice truck, hot g/f, you cali boys have everything!

Is that because of finances or is that the earliest they can get to them? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> it should be early october actually btu i called them and they said the process takes 8 weeks an never happens any faster not to mention the coin im forking out for them to do it. they better be tits when they get back or im going to . i have alot of little things that seem like they never get finished! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> For now I'm just going to send them the outer vent grilles and the center grille, haven't decided if I'm going to do the ducts themselves. Probably won't put them in till spring if it takes them that long.

Ok, it took me awhile to figure out which bumpers you were talking about, I didn't see the trucks for A LONG TIME!

Is that because of finances or is that the earliest they can get to them?

guilty as charged!

No it doesn't affect the turning radius at all, the only thing left on the hitch is the bracket that holds the V shaped plate. Here is how it is installed: EZ-HITCH Install And if I remember correctly it only cost about $40. Which is way cheaper than a SS bumper cover!

And the last ones they built were real pieces of S***! Dodge Diplomat's & Plymouth Fury's just didn't cut it. Now go back a few years to the late 60's early 70's and they had some HOT cars, Polara's, Fury's with the 400's & 440's would really get down the road!

Once you have the trailer hooked up, the V piece is removed, it doesn't stay on the hitch while towing.

When I first got the SS I dinged my bumper with the tongue of my boat trailer a couple of times because I have to hitch it up by myself. I saw the EZ-HITCH while shopping with the wife and told her I sure would like one. Year before last I got it for x-mas and I can't believe how easy it is to hitch up the boat now. No more worrying about ramming the tongue into the bumper! Here is a pic of it:

You looking for a local shop to do one or are you looking for a mail order tune? I went with a mail order tune from pcmforless.com and am very happy with it, plus he's a supporting vendor.

I put ours into service about a month ago. It's got the "Hemi"! We have just under 4k on it and one officer said the brakes are pulsing (out of round rotors) on it already. I'll be taking it in to have it checked on Tuesday. I haven't driven it much, just to and from our local equipment installers but it seems pretty "peppy". We only bought one because we want to see how they hold up and how the guys like them. Here's a pic of ours:

They're keepers!

Now the big question is; How much will they butcher the production model?

How's this for random?

lol yea, this whole delta to faibanks area is just way to cold coldest i seen it was -50 something after -10 you really just dont want to go outside. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I hear you on that. We still loaded planes in the cold. One of them broke down and it took the mechanics about 2 weeks to get it warm enough to start. The planes were WWII era C-46's with I think 21 cylinder radial engines. All of our equipment that sat outside idled all the time, never shut them off. Inbound planes would radio ahead and the mechanics would get the blankets and heaters all ready and as soon as the props quit turning they were buttoning them up. But you have the nicest northern light displays that I've ever seen.

Here's a handy calculator: Tire Size Calculator

i see you realized it was to freakin cold and left <{POST_SNAPBACK}> hehe, well, now that you mention it, yes it did get to freakin cold! If I remember correctly it got to around 40 below before I left in mid Dec. The real reason I left is there were thousands of people up there wanting what I wanted; a job on the pipeline, and there were non to be had so I left. While I was up there I worked for a little air freight outfit called Fairbanks Air Service loading airplanes for them.
