Dose typhoon intake perform better than stock??

How many idle hours on it?

How many idle hours did it have when you got it and how much does it have now

The link is not working !

What would be considered high idle hours? Is 3800 on a 2017 high?

I didn’t need to do any look into my Vic because when the light hits it just right I can see the ghost writing from the city police department. The duel spot lights was another give away 😂

Were you able to do this yourself? Looking to do the same setup on my p71 but I wasn’t sure if I’d need a lift.

I used to work for a large city government fleet, about a thousand cars, and from time to time old worn out vehicles went to auto auctions. This included hundreds of Ford Crown Victoria cars used by the police department. Part of my job was removing/salvaging the police equipment out of them before they went to auction, which meant I drove them all, and I got a real good look at their condition pre-auction - and I can tell you that not one of these cars were "babied"! Invariably the police cars showed signs of major wear. These cars were heavily worn, and mostly worn out, since they were driven by people who literally could not care less about them, which meant they'd been abused, because the drivers did plenty of things you'd never do to a car you actually owned. A milion cold starts, hours and hours of I would not spend more than $1,000 for any of these cars, especially since I knew that anybody who bought one of these was going to be throwing money at them big-time. And consider this, that odometer reading did not represent their true condition, since police cars spend a whole lot of time just idling. Any mechanic will tell you, idling a car causes the most engine wear of all. So take the odometer reading, then double it. That's probably the true amount of wear that car actually has.

Hey man, thanks a bunch for the great info. I have to replace the one on my vic and I'm having a difficult time trying to decide which way to go. I'll keep searching. Thanks again and God bless you 👍🙏

Just an unrelated FYI, I owned two V8 AWD Chargers ('10, '13), and a V8 AWD 300 ('13). All non police, BTW. All were great. Biggest difference between basically, is the 300 was much quieter, and has much less NVH. Miss them all, and really regret selling the 300. My one complaint is that the Charger interiors were cheap. Oh, 2009 is when they went to VVT and the power jumped to 370. Before that, you don't even need to know the HP.

Notice the Michelin Crossclimate 2 tires. I installed a set of those on my Grand Marquis and it doubled in value. Also, they get good traction in the rain and snow. GREAT VIDEO!

Also look for signs of repaint. Bumper covers can hide more damage underneath. Its not always a sign of a bad car but keep in mind, finding new bumper covers right now is a pain. In fact, any parts that are body or trim pieces are near impossible to find unless you have a cache of parts. Last parts car I gutted was an 05 SAP and I knew the history of it. It was 3000 bucks, back in 14. Normally for a car that was shamed in the rear (with bend frame) would be a no go. I knew the cop that was assigned to the car. I called him up, and he told me, the car was smashed in the front prior, and had all brand new parts put on, just for a week later the car to be rear ended by a police Tahoe that a perp stole. So, the back was smashed, but everything front of the firewall was so new, it still had the Ford stickers. I mean, springs, IFS, brackets, lights, bumper (though the morons drilled the plate bracket crooked). I still have most of those parts and fro a few others to keep my fleet of Panthers going. Good video, very good points. Im just glad that finally Crown Vics are more or less gone as police cars. I used to be a cop, but just loved these cars. The whackers (is that a thing anymore?) caused so much heat. I got pulled over so many times just because of a guy impersonating, and my car matched the description. It was always just easier to show him my badge and move on, But if I wasnt, it would be such a hassle. My daily is a Grand Marquis now, which is the best under the radar car ever. Nobody bothers you lol. Granda ma can do 100mph right in front of a trooper and nothing. Plus theyre cheaper than the other Panthers, and mine drives like its brand new.

I love panther cars. First one i drove was a silver 01 CV LX. The interceptors are super cool and its nice to see you keep one in good condition. Most of them are pretty tired by now as they had a hard service life and then people that bought them cheap skipped out on service and treated them like race cars. They often have an asking price higher than a same year and mile Town Car or Grand Marquis too! Just bought a rust free Florida 2005 Town Car for 5,000. My Town Car will never see road salt as i have another car to use as the daily.

Check the hours the engine has run, sometimes more important than the miles driven. Great video.

There is upper plenum gasket it just don't use a gasket. The 96-98 CV has a gasket similar to style to lower intake gaskets

I would just assume that the car is completely worn out. :)

The Taxi Inspector would stop by to certify a new Cab at my Cab Co.and always drove the same unmarked Crown Vic that stayed in mint condition for years one day he showed up in a new Taurus and he said they took his beloved Crown Vic away @ 120,000 miles and said he wishes he could get it back. We don't live near the Rust Belt and well made cars last indefinitely here.

Real men run bald all season tires on their Vic!

Beautiful pursuit man! I have 18 awd pursuit did great in its first western ny winter. No Problems except for one evap code

Hey I also live in western New York with a awd pursuit I got in November of 2023.

During the BLM protests, my city exhausted all of their Explorers as quite a few were destroyed or deployed elsewhere. They pulled out all these rusty and peeling paint crown vics and had them all over the police headquarters along with tactical units. I used to drive by the lot where they had been parked for probably ten years. Very bizarre.

Also where can you order the recall kit?

Hey man can I email you a video or what happened to mine? I think it’s exactly what you’re talking about. My mechanic just ordered me a junk yard steering column assembly but I may just try the zip tie trick.

I have the same car. Does yours clunk when slowing down to a stop when putting brakes on? It doesnt do it when cold out but on warmer days, 40 plus, it does. Im in NH.

Seal those roof holes quick, leaks and rust BAD. PUT push in plugs or screws with Motor HOME caulikng in them, proflex is best

Alot of cities and counties give used ones to other departments like building inspectors.

where can i find one for my 03 crown vic?

Any links to get a cop bash bar or that one you have plz let me know im currently trying to make a lincoln cop car lol

Dude I wish I could get one of those, Any info where I can get one?

Great video. The gas tank on my car recently fell on the ground after filling it up at a gas station. Someone was calling me on my cell phone and I pulled into a space while in the gasoline station. While I was parked and attending to my phone I heard a noise. I thought someone had thrown something at my car or may be a tire hit my car from the highway. I saw nothing. So I got back in the car. I did not jump on the highway right away which was next to the gasoline station. After a while I started up the car and someone got behind my car while I had it in reverse. I did not in a million years think that I would be dragging my gas tank. It really freaked me out. I called me insurance and a tow truck came and put those pulling straps to hold it. They could not move it because it was full of gasoline. So they had to use a small flat jack to lift it up. The straps held it in place. I am thinking about putting a long metal flat bar attached to the chassis with Chrome screws to prevent the tank from falling again. The tank is sitting upright in a vertical position in front of the trunk. Death was following me, but God was on my side I guess. For those who have have not had this happened to them CHECK underneath that the gas tank is secure from those metal straps as well as the fuel lines and brake lines, especially if your car is old and has rust. Do not ignore the rust. We are used to just checking under the hood, but if you are living in the north you are at risk because of the rust. I hope I have saved lives with this information. Get undercoating and clean that rust before it spreads like a cancer. It can be very very dangerous and serious, especially if you have family riding in your car. This is serious stuff. Thank you for sharing your video with us.

this needs to get tossed in the garbage. kathy h is a stew pit more on. we pay taxes. i paid alot of money for my truck. i should be entitled to do whatever the fck i wanna do with my vehicle. if you wanna stop charging me taxes then ill bare with it but if im still gunna get ra*** in taxes every year you arent going to control what i do with my vehicle lady. i can understand if your vehicle is loud and its 4am but this is a free country stop messing with people. nobody wants to be plain and drive around in a stock vehicle they paid 60k for

Hey what part of NY you located in

Sadly, both of my torque box spots on my 98 Town Car are ate up pretty badly. I didn’t know the 03 and newer frames were stronger. Sad to let such a great running car go because of two spots on an otherwise solid frame.

You think one high flow cat on each side would be slightly louder than the 2 stock cats but slightly more mellow than no cats?

Mustang like! I need to do another recording for my car without the wind lol

Im loving your videos❤ just followed!

Ugh that sounds awesome! Just got a 5.7 police package and would love to get a new exhaust. Maybe I’ll have to look into this exhaust!

Been driving these cars for 30 years and everything you stated is spot on! Thanks for an excellent video Dan.

Lets see those mods Dan. I want to do some mods to my 18 AWD Hemi Pursuit as well.

Does this include taurus Interceptor?

That’s awesome man, I just got myself a 09 pursuit model. Absolutely love her. Glad to see you got yourself another one after your old one.

I just got a persuit model today and live in WNY as well! Hope to see a 6 year update?

Is this a smog legal part

You have a beautiful car. I have the Ford explore 2015

Where can i found same this intake?

whats your view on changing transmission fluid? Is it good idea or bad idea? I notice on my service records it was suppose to be changed when highway patrol had it but I dont see anywhere where they bought the parts and fluid needed. I have 2017 charger pursuit

So, why was the car in the video civilian silver it it was a patrol car and all the patrol cars that city used were white?

A few years ago, I saw an Expedition for sale an auction. It looked like it had been park police. From what I knew, the car drove a half mile to the park, then idled there the whole shift to keep the AC running. Then drove back. Then possibly a second shift. So, that meant it was driving at most four miles a day. Park police never made any effort to exit their car except probably to throw away trash or use the rest room. They may have driven it to the restaurants a few hundred yards away. So, my feeling was the car had very little wear. Other than the engine running. I did not know what to think about that. I asked the people in the city office what they knew about the car. And they told me to fire a freedom of information request. They offered me the forms. I said "I don't want to put anybody to any trouble." "No trouble at all." the office manager said in a depressed voice. I don't believe I ever got the information. Later I asked what happened to city cars. They said they had a contract with a company and that company took every car and did not have to bid. And the citizens would not have a chance to buy them from the city directly. This city had a tendency to get no bid exclusive contracts with companies that donated money to councilmen.

That came off and charger just curious
