Thanks Greg! A lot of luck is what is needed. She leaks oil like a siv (oil pan gasket, or bolts need to be snugged).

I will say though, that taurus is quite the fun vehicle to tinker with. My buddy and I put a cold air intake and it sounds beastly. Makes my Explorer jealous.
 






Well, there just had to be another problem with the 05; the negative battery connecter just decided to strip out...

Oh well, she's getting sold in the near future.


I may as well admit I have a 2001 5.0L V8 AWD X picked out... :D
 






I love that bull bar... I wish my brother was more interested in modding his because I think it would look awesome on his 02 XLS!... or my 98 :biggthump
 






Here's some pictures from today. A little snow in the mountains, a little mud on the tires.

Looks a little lifted here. ;)

Great pictures mate. Top shelf.
 






Here's an update:
The 05 went to the transmission shop. The guy drove it, tried to see if any codes were set, inspected it and then figured out what it was. The transmission bands are either too tight or too loose; he told me when it shifts there was an awful lot of hang-up time between shifts. He's adjusting the bands next week; said that this transmission is good otherwise.

Been thinkin bout picking up a pair of Ford Turbos from the 3.5L and making a 4.0L Ecoboost engine. F### V8's, it's all about the Twin Turbo V6 :cool:
 






Sound's savage mate!
