No, it was sold back in 2011.

@@TheTerminator310why did he sell it

@@ANDERSONEXPRESS7 He had bought a diesel F-250 to replace it to pull campers with.

I like them. They're pretty reliable. Air suspension can give issues, but I've heard they're fairly easy to fix, or you can convert it to coil springs, in lieu of air bags. Front suspension components are a bit problematic too, mainly ball joints. When I bought this one, the upper control arms were already bad, mainly from sitting. The climate control for air conditioning heat is sometimes problematic. They start losing their ability to hold vacuum and thus will cause air direction to default to defrost and never come out of it. Blend door actuators breaking I think are the biggest problem with these since the dash has to come loose to get to them. As far as engine/transmission, they are pretty damn solid. The 4.6 doesn't even make much power, so the internals are never overtaxed. You take care of it and it will take care of you.

Thanks for liking/subscribing! Yes, I love these cars. I own this '07 Grand Marquis. as well as an '06 Town Car. They're awesome!

@@TheTerminator310 what do you think is the best year/series to get?

@@lookingback6314 I like 2006-2011 because they have the heavier duty 4R75E automatic transmission. I think they also added a few extra threads for the spark plugs in 2004 to mitigate the sudden spark plug ejection issue. It didn't fix it, but it was at least not as bad.

@@TheTerminator310 Thanks for the advice. I want to stock up on a few clean ones before the derby drivers eat them all up as they are the number 1 car of choice. I love demolition derbies but I cringe everytime I see clean panthers get destroyed as they never again will exist! What a horrible fate!

@@lookingback6314 I feel you. They are becoming harder to find now in good condition and seeing them get destroyed is painful. I've always been a Crown Victoria enthusiast and the 2 I have, I want to preserve them as long as possible.

Yeah and to top it off: An absurdly tall 1st gear ratio of 2.54:1 and a 3.23 rear gear.

Runs great. It's exceeded my expectations, so far. Only maintenance I can recommend is 5W-30 and keep it changed often. Sane for plugs. Keep 'em changed every 50k miles, or so. Transmission pan drop with new filter and fluid (don't flush unless the transmission has been flushed regularly since new). If diff fluid has never been changed, I'd recommend that too, as well as antifreeze flush, etc.

Yeah, I've used them for years and they are awesome.

Nice. I wish more of these engines went the distance, like that. Still, maintenance goes a long way, though. I'm squeezing every half mile out of this truck that I can get.

Yes sir! Still runs perfect!!

Man that’s awesome. I got an 06’ and love it.

@@datgriffcray Nice. Just make sure to do frequent oil changes. The 5.4 3v engine is definitely not the best motor, but it can last if you take really good care of it.

Original sending unit was discontinued/replaced with an aftermarket oil pressure gauge.

2011, actually. But yeah, I love this one too. Still running perfectly with 210k.

I am right there with you. However, I will say I do like the external alternator volt regulator.

Nice. This one just rolled 101k, recently.

I don't know if I can handle all of these furious 224 horses!

Yes sir! Always loved the sound of a Crown Vic!

Never going to get rid of it! I just bought an ‘06 Town Car to add to my Panther collection. Lol.

Haha, thanks. And 12 years later, I can assure you that the gas has gotten no better Yeah, it's hard to believe how time gets away from us. I was 16, at the time. I leave these videos up just for the memories, at this point.

​@@TheTerminator310 nothing wrong with that at all! Keep em here for future generations to see!

Sounds like you may have a vacuum leak somewhere.

@@TheTerminator310 You know you can actually hear it, where do these typically come from, very loud under the hood.

@@rysterstech If it's 4x4, then it could be a vacuum line to the hubs, or something. Or maybe a leak in the lines to the brake booster. Could be a leak in the PCV hose, etc.

@@TheTerminator310 will look one day and see. It is a 2wd

I do know the brakes are terrible, probably dangerously low on fluid, the car has had its tags turned in and insurance cancelled as its not mine. It has a leak on the passenger side front door, we didn't know it was there until we quit parking it under the carport, we found it when mold and wasps had taken over the entire interior, it's probably going to be scrapped soon. We have had it for all but 30k miles and it the children have destroyed its interior9​@@TheTerminator310

No, this is standard single exhaust with 2.73 gears. 224 hp.

​@@TheTerminator310 Is there a big difference in performance between the dual exhaust version with a gear ratio of 3:27 and the standard version

@@GM-zb4mu Not a huge difference, but it's noticeable on takeoff. 0-40 MPH is definitely quicker, due to the shorter gear. The downside to the HPP is maybe 1 MPG less on the highway. I prefer the standard version, simply because I don't have to mess with fixing leaking air bags, etc. I like coil springs.

Shifting at 6000 will cause converter failure, over time due to ballooning. Have to upgrade the converter before these can rev like that. Plus, the 5.4 having such an absurdly long stroke, they just don’t really make any power above 5400.

Yeah, this one has always had a lash adjuster that ticks on and off. Doesn't always tick. Typical 3v issue.

Wish that could be said about the 06 navigator.

Lol, I drive too fast? This is 2023. Highway speed limits aren't 55 anymore. But yes, the truck has just enough power to do what I use it for. And if I need more power, I have my 2007 F-150 with a 5.4 V8, which will yank 3 of these old trucks sideways. On the subject of oil pressure: I'm just not used to seeing single digit oil pressure numbers. But, this video is almost 6 years old and I've learned a lot since this video. Either way, I love these old Dodge's.

Hey, man! Been a long time! Good to hear from you! Yeah, those year 5.0s like what you have are very reliable trucks, for sure!

Lol, yeah. Many people out there wish they could say it.

My 2004 3v got 208,000. Trans jus went out tho..

@@ZAEGAINSpaid 3500 for a ford reman transmission

@@americanchauvinist1210 lucky i paid 6 failed 3 times but 3rd time is a charm😂

@@ZAEGAINS ugh that freaking sucks!!! God bless you lol I tell you what my next truck is a tundra

Yeah, I remember making that video. That was all the way back in spring 2011. Man, time flies. In March, I'll have had this truck for 13 years. I can't believe it.

I’ve had my 07’ for 13 years too… 183k on the clock all original engine components
