Re: Problem with Reverse Lamps
I discretely laid a bet on the table a few days ago concerning the date of guillotine usage. The only real remaining issue was, the need (?) for more $$$ should be result be a life sentence rather than a short stay in jail. I think it's time to finalize that deal, I really do, the fun and laughs will far exceed the monetary value no matter what happens!

Then make sure it has a good MC syncro in it. Change the oil regularly. Keep the the coolant flushed and a good MC stat in it. Give it a tuneup. If it overheats the heads crack. Don't let it misfire. A Tech told me the Cat design can cause the burnt exhaust valve issue. The valve issue is not as prevalent on the 3.0 in the Taurus.
It wouldn't hurt to put new precat o2 sensors in it.

Eventually the burden of the liability will out weight what little benefit the a$$et brings. IMHO.

Re: Problem with Reverse Lamps
Can somebody tell me the good and bad things about this engine, I actually have that one (Vulcan 3.0), and It hasnīt been giving problems since we bought this truck (2011). Greetings.
