Your going to pay more in gas a month with a K5 blazer than you are paying insurance on your Mark...
 
I dont realy think so, seeing how i get 13.7 avgmpg for the last months avg, with the mark (93) ill be about even with the extra tank size. Im used to paying a LOT for gas. 350's of the erra get about 12-17 city (depending on the motor specs) and with o/d get like 20-21 hwy.

a guy i worked with had a K5 and he had to get rid of it cause he was paying over &80 a week for gas prices... 13.7 MPG? lol damn im gettin 16+
 
Did you try not flooring it off everylight? Responsible driving helps the effeciency an awful lot. Jack rabbit starts make a two ton vehicle thirsty. I usually get 18mpg around the city, and 20s on the highway...and that's with a crap TC.

And what about the custom LED rear light?
 
i think when u start gettin ridiculous offers you'll change your mind and keep it... these cars depreciated alot, and the average lincoln customer isnt into racing like we are.. so all mods will mean nothing to them. I wish u luck, but i believe when reality sets in.. you'll still be a mark viii enthusiast. :L

one step ahead of ya.

not to mention i boiled the old t-stat and it opened up.
 
He hasn't burped the system though.

There's no diagnosing it until he has thoroughly, and repeatedly, burped the air out of the system. And until he gets that cross-over tube situation resolved, there's noway to diagnose. That might be the problem.

I had a warming problem. And even though I had a new thermostat, new fan, new water pump, belt, radiator, and hoses, the engine was still running really warm. I had thought I'd burped the system adequately.

So, I did it again, three times. Open up the system, run it, close it up, drive the car, let it cool down, the repeat. And now- I can run the car up and down that highway at 95mph, in Florida, and it'll stay on the A almost the entire time.
