    Serpentine Belt brand opinion

    '94 MTX something something If you were in a car show, what brand of belt would you buy. Short of finding some NOS Motorcraft? Do we know who manufactured them for For/Motorcraft/Yamaha? I would assume an Asian supplier but who knows? Maybe like Bando or Mitsuboshi or something? Which way should...

    What are our Headlight Options in 2026?

    What options are left for headlights? I mean, good clean headlights? Fishtanks and side markers? I did a quick search but didn't come up with much as far as aftermarket is concerned. Like, not even out of stock listings. There's a great sticky on cleaning old lights, but I have my concerns as...

    Car died suddenly. Tach died too.

    Hey there! The usual, '94 3.0 MTX. So I was just cruising down route 8, smooth as salted butter, when all of a sudden she just drops power. No sputtering, no sign of alt or battery loss. Full tank. Just like shutting the key off. Everything thing on the dashboard seemed consistent with coasting...

    Alternator warning light not always working.

    Hey there! Correct me if i'm wrong, but if I turn the key to RUN without starting the engine, the charging system light should come on, right? It has been having an inntermittent problem with not doing exactly that. I tried following the diagnostic pinpint tests in the manual, for both "not...

    CD power wires, Gen II

    Hello again! Somepony, probably the only other SHO owner in the area, gave me a factory CD player. Pretty much the only option my SHO didn't have. But I am missing the power wirers. I do not want to splice or otherwise jury rig the wiring, and I already have the audio wiring linking it to the...

    Parking Brake pedal for GEN II, non auto

    Hello! I am looking for a parking brake pedal assembly that would fit a 1994 Taurus. Not with auto release. I believe it is the same pedal that should fit a 1987-95 Taurus and Sable, and 88-94 Continental.

    Oil...maybe. In Radiator...but no other signs of head gasket failure.

I would have to think they are all the same but she's a '94 MTX 3.0L Screws for them would be nice as well but at least the looms themselves. (scammers DNI because ngl your tactics are pretty obvious and lame)

    Different turning radius with SHO?

    Hey there! Got a bit of a new conundrum with my rack. Looking at the '94 service manual, it shows the number of steering wheel turns lock-to-lock for Taurus slo as 2.75, but only 2.6 for SHO. Bit weird, huh? Does that imply a different rack for SHO? I know there's a differences between VAPS and...
