Fuel pump replace, steering rack replaced, repeated ignition problems, BAD headlights, noisy throwout bearing, bad rear caliper, eats mufflers and tailpipes, AC repairs, numerous fuel injection problems, POOR heater, heater core replacement, other small items too numerous to mention.
When it is right, it is fun to drive and a good trip car. But, it is never right and it is the worst car for repairs that I have ever owned. I wish it was reliable and had a 5.0 Liter V-8, for then it would be a blast.
I agree with you. I have an 88 t/c, and I've swapped the four cyl. for a mildly worked 5.0 H.O. and a five-speed. It's a blast to drive and very reliable too.
I own a 1988 thunderbird t/c. It still contains the original 140 c.i.d. o.h.c. four cylinder. it currently has 178,000 miles on the original parts. as long as you keep up on PROPER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE as suggested by ford. The car will give you many years of smooth reliable service.
