That pneumonia is no joke. Glad you are on the other side of it. We have lost so many people the last 5 years because of it.

[@toddsonic]

Glad to hear you are doing better, I used Moog and it was 100% better than the worn stockers, I hope to swap to those for the next refresh. I will be watching to see how you like them over time before I pull the trigger.

[@silicon212]

I just set up a similar system from ADTR onto a 2011 CVPI over the weekend ... very nice indeed! Oh and we had the same issue with the provided hardware - we reused the factory hardware.

[@FordBossMe]

I just got the Victor Jr intake setup I need to get like the mmr4150 adapter but I'm not exactly sure which one it is I need for the Victor Jr to adapt to the upper plenum from ADT are that I bought that's ported

[@silicon212]

@@FordBossMe If you are referring to the Accufab plenum, I do believe that's designed to be used with the stock intake, so in theory it should work fine with the MMR adapter. Edit I see the ported plenum, that should also work well with the MMR plate.

I have the rest of your capped finished lug nuts in my spare parts bin nice pony wheel upgrade 👍

[@TXCherokee]

I’m so happy your healing up so quickly and getting seeing doctors

[@free2chasehappy]

Grand Marquis looking good and sounds amazing! Something about the V8 engine that's just good for a man's soul.

[@thomasperina2990]

Hello Rich, happy you are feeling better but don't push yourself. The new rear suspension pieces would definitely level out & help eliminate the roll into the turns. God Bless Rich, & as always my best to you and your family, TMP from N.J. 😊😊😊😊.

[@jonathansherwood5841]

Good to see you up and about! We ended up using the original hardware on a similar kit we had installed on one. 🐺🔧

[@gwgrote5]

I assume you are too young. But gone are the days when these classic cars (including the Lincoln Towncar) were in demand. I'm young, but I still don't like how the traditional luxury car has been made a thing of the past. Thanks for reviving this one!

[@johnnysfunzone743]

Good! Leaves more for us to drive or get parts from.

[@Torsee]

Awesome sleeper! Love that car style, Ford/Mercury.

[@Mike88GT]

Good to see that you're getting better!

[@mlieser1230]

Glad to see you are getting better!

Badass same color as mine, can't wait to put the x pipe on

[@Pantherforlife]

OEM perfect fit aftermarket just gotta put some work into it. Like how it looks.

[@keithbassett4988]

I'm glad that you are on the road (pun intended) to a full recovery. Just try not to push to hard. The rear suspension and handling upgrade looks BOSS! (I can't help myself, man....lol) Have you installed a beefier rear sway bar?....I thought maybe I missed that posts. I bet it both rides AND handles better. Great video as always.👍

[@fastway007]

Question: isn’t the suspension supposed to be preloaded before you torque all the nuts? It looked like you guys did it up on a lift with the suspension hanging down.

[@GetSocialButterfly]

The update on you and the car are great. Glad you’re feeling better.💪🏻 I bet you love that she is much tighter….😂👍🏻

[@chrisr.986]

U be driving presidential style 😆 🤣 😎. Blessings Rich.

[@TXCherokee]

God Bless you Rich. Let’s see how Merc handles at 70 mph

[@jdl1276]

I thought you were gonna put that stuff on the town car.. thx for the tips on the watts link.. i bought the ez stuts from strut masters for the front. I thought they were oem for the TC but the springs are stiffer so they eliminate front end roll. Of course you feel more of the road imperfections.. but corners well and matches the stiffness of the rear

[@FordBossMe]

I'm not doing too much to the town car anymore everything is going to be done to the Grand Marquis because it has low miles

[@normalizedaudio2481]

I am still running on air. Knock on wood. I am cleaning all those lines to try and keep it working. It's great when it is working.

[@merrillschaps2325]

They way you started this video reminded me of Christine. 🤪

[@Propertyinspector]

Glad you're getting healthier.

[@buddycarofano1635]

Adding a supercharger we be a cool upgrade

[@FordBossMe]

Slowly headed there

[@adammuise6178]

the car is looking and working good buddy,

[@proudcanadian5713]

Damn, you do good work, bud. I will admit laughing when you were showing us around under the vehicle and could see all the rust from Chicago winters. I heard Ray screaming and trembling as he saw that. LOL But that looks like one good looking kit and I like how you checked out those bolts and made decisions to use ones which worked for you.

[@FordBossMe]

If you think that is rust you need to reevaluate what rust is that's just little surface powder

[@proudcanadian5713]

@@FordBossMe Fair enough. I live in Toronto, so I've seen enough rust in my day, though. LOL

[@johnnysfunzone743]

@@FordBossMe "down south" since born BUT I once had a couple of Mercury Grand Marquis Wagons(1973 & 1976?, 400 V8) in 1990's(we had 6 children at home). Saw a 400 in a welder's truck for sale with a manual trans! Almost bought it BUT the entire frame, rear end pumpkin, any iron was MAJOR rust-pitted like the surface of the moon. No sale.

[@josephvantreeck2989]

Nice !!

[@jakethesnake4971]

2001 crown vic with 105k. How much would it be roughly to replace upper and lower control arms and pitman arm? The car kinda wonders, like there's almost a delay in the steering. Thanks

[@FordBossMe]

Can you ask me tomorrow when I'm at work in front of a computer I can tell you but I'll put control on probably an hour and a half cuz the strut has to drop down out of it I believe you're probably looking somewhere around 4 hours total maybe close to 5 with an alignment That's just labor not parts

[@jakethesnake4971]

@Ford Boss Me thanks brother

[@quadstatecameras]

@fordbossme Couldn't you use a tap to extend the threads on those long bolts? Also maybe cut them short if they are too long. #quadstatecameras

[@FordBossMe]

Sure you could but now you're putting a bunch of time into something that you shouldn't have to put a bunch of time into and on top of that remember I also said the bolts that don't go all the way through the frame that stop inside the frame are too long so they'll hit the other side of the frame with the ones that don't have a through hole

[@HypocriticYT]

Does that diff attachment have anything to do with rear wheel alignment?

[@FordBossMe]

I just stops rear end from shifting side to side

[@dennisvandergriff7757]

Awesome news. God bless you buddy.

[@FordBossMe]

I appreciate that same to you

[@egodeathplease]

Shoot that gonna be the best looking taxi cab at the junkyard😂 or with a general Lee body on it.

[@TheBigdog868]

Love it!!

[@Witresdiuy]

Check your rotors?

[@FordBossMe]

There's no reason to check the rotors if you're talking about the direction of the way the slots are facing that's not how you figure out which way is left and which way is right so you got to become more educated I have a video on that it comes down to the center cooling fins on which way they actually go

[@toenails.]

What oil have you picked to be your go to oil for your vehicles?

[@FordBossMe]

Two Pennzoil Platinum Ultra or Valvoline extended protection high mileage Ultra

[@TXCherokee]

Sweet Yea

[@stinger720]

[@PRO4XKEV]

👍😎

[@markb3129]

Your brake rotors are on backwards, slots are supposed to be facing the other direction.

[@FordBossMe]

No they're not on backwards you need to educate yourself on brake rotors Drilled and slotted brake rotors have a set of cooling fins on the inside between the two discs if those fins are directional they will have a curve to them meaning that they only pull air in one efficient direction if they are straight from the center core out they can actually be installed anywhere you want and these are straight so you're wrong take the L they're not on backwards now you've been educated

[@TsunauticusIV]

Ok. Something is up. This is the second time in one day I’ve heard someone pronounce the word GAWDY as “gow-dee”. Is there another word that I’m unaware of? I always thought that gawdy was pronounced as “gaw-dee” and not “gow-dee”. I googled it and they pronounced it as I’ve always heard it. I’m not trying to pick at your pronunciation… I’m legitimately curious because you’re the second person I’ve heard say it that way in a single day. Is it maybe due to different accents? Maybe it’s a different word you’re using altogether? I really don’t know. Just curious. 🙏

[@TsunauticusIV]

You say it @ 5:09

[@FordBossMe]

It's actually like you're saying it but it is what it is I don't really care about stuff like that to be honest with you

[@daewooparts]

I am pretty anal about using OEM or OEM type hardware 🔩 over aftermarket hardware, especially nuts & bolts ,I got tons of new Genuine parts nuts & bolts from GM & GM Daewoo, I'll even order them from GM if available, if not I actually import them myself from GM Korea & get OEM hardware that's made in USA, Korea, Germany & Australia as GM Korea stocks most of the hardware, even obsolete GM hardware that's not available from GM in the states

[@stephenwestmoreland429]

Hi Rich great to hear your on the mend I noticed your Drilled Rotors on your Car. If I ever get to change mine do you think there Worth it my Saab V6 convertible kicks out about 255 BHP. Do you think they would be a better investment. All the Best Rich. Steve Westmoreland 👨🏻‍🦳♿️🇬🇧🛠️❤️👍👍
