I feel like most of the ex police cars I see are V6s, are the V8s more rare?

[@TheTemplarnight]

i think it's just cause the 5.7 takes a lot of money & work to get serious power out of to the point it's not really worth it if ur going for big numbers, but that being said i do love the 5.7, it's a good strong engine for a daily and reliable enough just wished everything else on the charger kept up

I would find a wrecked one with leather and buy the whole interior with headliner and carpet. Might be hard to remove headliner without a front or rear window removed.

[@Atlanticbeachcustoms]

Smart idea!! I am wanting to do a full interior makeover so I’ll start keeping an eye out for a good donor interior!

Good idea but if it was my car I'd go for a cloth interior. Leather gets too hot in the summer for my taste. And I sweat sitting on it for a long road trip regardless of the season. Always liked cloth interiors better.

You did well with the the purchase. Surprisingly , no valvetrain noise. You don't have the hemi tick caused by the lack of oil going p pto the topsides of the lifters. Outstanding, look forward to seeing it after everything is cleaned up. Good price on that one. I have an auction car as well. An ex-Miami Dade Crown Vic.

[@Atlanticbeachcustoms]

@@georgepetrillo7316 Thanks for the watch and the comment George! I know I was very pleasantly surprised when I fired it up and listened to the engine!!! Would you recommend I change the lifters now just as I no reference when they were changed last? Or is it one of those things where I should wait until it starts giving me noise? I’m super excited to get this thing all cleaned up and rebuilt for y’all! That’s so cool about your Crown Vic, I know Miami Dade is just right beneath Broward County so they came from about the same area!! Thanks again for watching 🤙

[@georgepetrillo7316]

@@Atlanticbeachcustoms That engine is pretty quiet. I wouldn't change a thing. If it's not knocking or lifters tapping, leave it alone. Just drive it and change out the oil. I would do oil changes every 2500 miles. Does it still have the mds system where the engine goes to 4 cylinder mode? The mds system can be an issue on these engines because when the 4 cylinders are deactivated oil is cut off from the lifters of the innactive cylinders.

The back passenger door handles are probably removed to keep the passenger from being able to open the door and escape when they are placed back there by the officer. Or, someone could have taken them for parts.

[@sportmedtech]

The P0456 could be the seal around the fuel pump or the transfer pump. They use a green seal that is known to go bad. Or the plastic line from the tank to the charcoal canister could have a crack or leak. You will need to do a smoke test to see where the leak is. The coolant temp sensor is also know to go bad on the 3rd gen Hemi’s and is down by the alternator on the passenger side of the front of the engine. Or it could have had a water pump, cooling fan go bad and overheat. I would see if either of those are new and go from there.

[@Atlanticbeachcustoms]

Dude you are awesome!! Seriously can’t thank you enough, I’ll take a look into everything you said and see how it looks and go from there. Keep an eye out for a shoutout in our next charger upload!🤙

[@imqwackers4jeeps]

I didn’t read the other comments but as for the hemi tick. There are two possibilities: 1 the lifters get worn and get stuck which then damages the cam shaft. To fix this issue install non MSD lifters and install a better cam. 2 issue is the header bolts will break because Dodge uses cast iron headers and the bolts are aluminum. The heat is the main issue. Install ARP studs and then go with either shorty headers (not BBK lots of failures since COVID) or long tube headers.

Awesome ABC《☆》Congratulations on your Charger Pursuit HEMI AWD at $3300👍🔔🤳I bought my 2WD Pursuit with 116k miles on it 4765 idle hours & 8017 total hours. It's been a great car so far. I changed the Waterpump 4 months ago. It was making a rumbling noise. It's hard to tell where the noise was coming from as it resonates thru the plastic intake manifold. I had to replace the driveshaft about 6 months ago. It's my daily driver right now. I'm also in Duval🙏Go Jags🙃I'll be following this build for sure.

[@albertvonschultz9137]

I would recommend replacing the oil pump with a milling's high volume oil pump that will eliminate or prevent your tick in the future. I got mine. It had a 142000 miles on it and I was running MOA oil additive and at 280000 miles. The cam and lifter failed on number 8 cylinder. Just getting the thing rebuilt but i've heard about the milling's oil pump. The company I work 4 get about 60000 miles out of their engine.Before the camera lifter fails, we do.The lotta idle time. The question I have is what do you plan on doing with that center council. I wouldn't mind having one. Between Cheyenne and Fort Collins. I normally get about 25 miles to a gallon. On long trips I get about 32.

[@Atlanticbeachcustoms]

@@albertvonschultz9137 Good to know thanks!! I’ve heard about the milling pump so I’ll definitely have to check it out! I’m not entirely sure what my plan is for the center console quite yet… I kind of like it and want to keep it I just want to cover that giant hole. That’s some incredible MPG!!!

The tick on first start up is normal mine did it for 182k miles. The evap codes come from filling it up without cutting the car off, takes forever to reboot computer and equipment if you cut it off. I’m sure the charcoal canister is full of gas from overfilling, have to stop filling once handle clicks off. Back seat was a prison transport seat, probably took it out and put in another car. There is no cables or electric switches in the back doors, or handles, so prisoners couldn’t open or roll down windows. All this extra cables are for blue lights, computer, printers, and radar systems. Every car in our fleet had the evap codes, after we found out why they changed where the equipment would stay on when you cut the car off to fill it up. No more evap codes after that.

[@SHO1989]

​@@AtlanticbeachcustomsI disagree. I never understood carpet in a car. The first thing people do is install mats to cover and protect it. Just keep the vinyl floor and save yourself the headache of pulling the mats and vacuuming and putting the mats back. You'll also save yourself the inevitable need to shampoo the carpets later. Nobody looks at the floor so instead of spending money on carpet that your are going to cover with mats, build up the rest of the interior. Maybe buy the better looking consumer console, get a new steering wheel, new headliner, Atoto Carplay head unit, etc. Don't know what the full carpet set costs but I'll bet it goes a long way towards buying better seats than those base seats cop cars have. So many other interior bits that will reward you more than the carpets.

[@Atlanticbeachcustoms]

@@SHO1989 I think you’re spot on! I was thinking about that after I mentioned it. It was so easy to clean and with sand and dirt in my cars all the time it would actually be super convenient and easy to clean. I think I’ll stick with these vinyl floors! Alsoooo you called it, I’m going to be replacing the steering wheel, redoing the headliner, bigger screen, and some custom seats. Stay tuned and thanks again for the advice!😄🤙
