O-ring around fuel sending unit, idler/tensioner pulley.
This car is one of the funnest cars to drive that I have owned.
Handles and performs as well as any previous muscle cars I have had and does it with subtlety.
Extremely reliable (as much so as any Toyota or Nissan I have owned).
Decent mileage for a V8 full size car. (19mpg city/23mpg highway)
Comfortable on long trips.
Ice cold A/C, Blaring heat.
Stock speakers are great (must be JBLs that go in the LX with premium sound)
Wow, a cop car with premium sound?
Er, no.
Interceptor package was on the base CV, not the LX.
They're stock Ford speakers. I've installed and uninstalled at least seven PVI crown vic stereo systems on the new models. The 180-210 amp alternators are great for running larger aftermarket amplifiers.
I still have this same car 3 years later. It now has 160K and I have to say that aside from the previously mentioned items in my original post, the only major repair I have had to make was the tie-rod ends and the upper ball joints. Other than that, just normal wear and tear items which include 2 sets of tires (just bought my second set). Replacement brake pads (20K miles ago), an alternator, and a tranny fluid change and filter using Merkon V fluid. I think this is great for 70K miles of my own. The car does have a small leak in the oil pan gasket, but generally does not require more than 1 quart every 1000 miles.
Sorry about the assumption with the speakers, but I have to say for stock speakers, they sound pretty good. Also a great car to take my 2 labs in as it was a K-9 car.
