    Info On Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS)

    2003 Aviator here...same basic system. I think. I did the three run, brake(and e-brake), three run, and got it into "training mode". Took a fairly strong tweeter magnet(peerless soft dome), and followed the dashboard instructions, train LF, train RF, train RR, train LR, and train spare(all in...

    Any way to improve the subwoofer on Audiophile?

    yeah....its around here somewhere...pretty sure you have to pull most of the outer panels off to get to it. in fact im sure there are a few good threads with pics, might have to hodge podge them together to get a "full write up", but a some good pics should get you far enough if you are going...

    jealous? yeah....as much of a pain these things can be, not to mention the horrible gas mileage....they are a fantastic ride. Just wish they had the stock airride like the other lincolns....some love it, some hate it.....but riding on air is definitely "smooth"....i love the ride of my...

    Interesting idea....i think i might a COP or two going out, have to start researching this..... I had an unfortunate update on my Avi....trans gave it up. Got it rebuilt right though I think(so far so good). Found a local guy who does alot with MkVIII's(has one with a "built" Lightning...

    Any way to improve the subwoofer on Audiophile?

    so....the ultimate question.....whats the total from front to back(metal to plastic)without the enclosure(i'll do a custom box)? It looks like one could gain another quarter inch in the material behind the enclosure(covering the metal)? Maybe "massage" another quarter into the metal? It looks...

    Any way to improve the subwoofer on Audiophile?

    Thanks for the info, guess I'll just have to have a back up sub....lol. Still want to go with a ten though...dont mind the custom work to squeeze out a little more airspace. Plus I already have the subs....I'm kind of a collector....:)

    Nice to know we're not stuck with the usual odd Lincoln bolt pattern.....lots of options now!!! I'll concur on no engine light and bad/intermittent COPs....had three go before the engine light came on in my mkviii. i was quite surprised with the power increase with all eight cylinders...

    This post got me thinking.....what are the "stock/oem" rims that are available that will fit the Aviator? I assume that we have the same options as the X and the Monty. Any one have any pics or preferences of the wheels possibly available? It would be nice to have a set of "snow...

    No worries..... I have had my fair share of custom rims over the years..even as far back as when 15" rims were the biggest you could get....lol. Lately I have been into "stock custom" though. Like I had corvette rims on my old first gen s-10, Impala SS rims(94-96) on a Caprice Wagon with a...

    Thanks.... Came with brand new tires....and I really dont mind the rims, anything bigger would make the ride rougher(shorter sidewall)....and it already rides a bit rough for a Lincoln. This is strictly for highway/commute anyway....AWD is for our lovely Missouri winters..... Besides, I...

    Aftermarket huh? Might have to consider that once it has proven to be reliable(like to drive for a couple months before I start doing anything cosmetic or the like).
