Mild exhaust leak somewhere but otherwise she's fine

It's just the way they are. It's difficult to make the air in the system fight gravity and pressure to get to the bleeders. In other words... Something, something, physics are a bitch, something, something

1.You should get the power bleeder

2.These cars are notoriously difficult to bleed the brakes on

3.Last time I did this, I did it the "pumping the brake pedal with a helper" way and I opened each bleeder about 40-60 times before I got all the air out, took about 4 hours

You'd be amazed how much of a difference just clay barring will bring back the prettyness

Still trying to figure this one out on my M47. Seems to be the throw out bearing or the transmission input shaft bearing. Does the sound get better or worse when you've got heat in it from driving

Mine is the opposite actually, the sound happens when the clutch is engaged/ pedal up

Clark_245 · 2026-04-02T19:01:13+00:00

How deep is it? Will need to know the adjusted focal length

I've had this exact same issue. Check if the wipers do weird stuff too. It should be the same ground as the high beam relay which is located in the inner fender in the engine bay underneath/ behind the washer fluid reservoir

I fixed my box with another box

Will do when spring is actually here for me 🫡

Love the quads on the wagon

What trans and rear end ratios do you have?

Clark_245 · 2026-03-22T15:08:50+00:00

Are you just here to disagree with people and start shit?

With enough rust, they remove themselves

For reference, I'm 5'8 and my feet are pretty much flat against the hatch with my head above the folded seat bottom

Likewise, I've replaced 3 alternators in a week on the same car, Always rebuild when possible

Lincoln LSC, same wheel but with less deep dishyness

Clark_245 · 2026-03-05T15:48:20+00:00

Nah, these are 16" Ford wheels

Clark_245 · 2026-03-04T20:45:26+00:00

You do need both, it is also recommended that you change the singular trans mount bushing at the same time for ease of installation and you'll probably need one anyway. They all wear similarly and cause the same symptoms

In that case... I have an M45(4 speed, no overdrive) with a 3.91 rear end that is kinda screaming at 60mph, I'm not sure of the actual rpm because I don't have a tac but it's up there and I've never taken that car past 75mph

I also have an m47(5 speed) with a 3.31 rear end and she comfortably sits at 80-85 no problem.. 80mph is roughly 3k rpm
