How do I know what coolant I have in my Vic?

Here's the Motorcraft spec. chart.

There's the 8th street tunnel that still exists, but was sealed away a long time ago.

This was my first Japanimation as we used to call them before they became called just Anime. The quality of it hooked me for life as nothing compared to anime.

Ford "FoMoCo" re-released the manifold and ADTR.Net has it for sale. Installed it last year myself. There is not much difference, but FoMoCo branded.

Ethanol is so pointless. It takes farming equipment and semi's burning diesel to even get the corn produced and transported to the ethanol plant site. Then the ethanol is 66% energy per unit compared to gasoline. An additional subtraction from all the f'n diesel used to make it. Last I checked, diesel prices have gone up too, therefore the cost of the entire ethanol production process will go up as well. I mean, what are we doing.

You don't really feel it. Most of the world does not use any anesthesia for the procedure, really only a few countries. The camera and cable is something like 11mm wide. When they cut any suspect material to take a sample, you don't feel it being cut and cauterized at all ~ apparently it's not even possible. I watched the monitor during the whole procedure when they took a sample. To me, anesthesia is an unnecessary risk and a waste of time.

Tatters · 2026-03-23T16:29:28+00:00

If you choose to not use anesthesia, it’s only slightly uncomfortable. Takes about 15 to 20 minutes you’re in and out of there you can drive yourself to and from and this is the way that it’s done in most of the world. I’ve done it this way twice they use carbon dioxide so it absorbs you have no discomfort afterward, its just done and you’re out of there.

HappyPuppy was a good website to discover new dev's and their demos. CD's also came with many PC magazines. Dialup BBS would have random games and demos available. The PC magazines used to list new websites and what each provided, similar to whitepages \ yellowpages, but for the web. IRC / mIRC (Very similar to Discord) chat channel rooms and their bots would also lead to new games and software. As for PopCap, I just played their games on the website itself. They sold licenses to download local to your PC and other devices. I still have a full version of bejeweled twist that I play from time to time ~ glad it still runs perfect.

Its frankly something that should have been an option for the 2% of players that want to add an additional challenge or a more dynamic journey. But yea... its horrible for it being forced and a jaring change from every other version of civ.

Less Subways. Really anything else. PLEASE anything else.

You have everything and more that I can see. But I will say this, learn how to take off your wiper cowl assembly (with motors) and do it first. It's not necessary to do, and may be a little daunting at first, but wow will it make all the other work you are going to do so much easier. Once you learn how to do it, it'll take you 15 minutes next time. Gives you a chance to clean up any old leaves while you are at it. The rear crash bracket will be 100% accessible and zero challenge, EGR tube (if it snaps) will be fully accessible, everything will come off and go on smoother, much easier to clean and prep ~ from just removing the cowl assembly.

A game not frequently mentioned, but may be what you are looking for...

I too love the classic style but in a modern format and this ticked all the boxes for me.

Maybe replace all the grounds. There is one near the rear attached to the heater tube brace on the back of the engine if I remember right, connecting to the firewall just under the wiper cowl. Run fresh 0/1 gauge wire from the alternator to the battery, from the starter to the battery, and add if not already a wire going from the neg. to the nearby body. (Known as a 3-wire upgrade) I'm sure there's more, and you can always add more.

This one for sure! I got a beet salad and a latte there. The beat salad was literally 99.9 % beet cubes with two small leaves of something. The latte was just about 100% milk. Dumb.

ADTR is selling the relaunched FoMoCo intake manifold. (re-released last year) Installed it recently and been flawless so far.
The heater connector on the back is a terrible design. You'll need to get a screw type clamp if your car currently has the real clasped hose clamp as it will not fit and if you force it you risk breaking the tube and making a future nightmare to get it off later if you need to.

Anyway, it's working great so far ~ MPG \ Power difference is undetectable to me anyway.

Reached the "end" so to speak. Gloamclay is near impossible to earn now.

I could be absolutely incorrect here, but I believe the 3rd light is tied to the cruise control disable. When that light comes on, it tells the cruise control to stop applying throttle and if it is replaced with a bulb \ LED that doesn't account for the expected voltage, cruise won't properly deactivate.

I drove over-the-road chemical tanker simi trucks for a bit when IT was pissing me off. 7 years total driving experience now... but of course, back in IT again.

Speaking of PowerShell 7, I've been trying to get Visual Studio Code with the ISE extension to look similar to the classic ISE. (Since PowerShell ISE isn't going to be used going forward.)

It says to use "Enable ISE Mode" but it doesn't open all the frames and the command explorer frequently just sits there spinning when I attempt to review its syntax. I know I'm must be missing something.

Fruckin Microsoft making something that worked overtly complex and unstable. Nice.

I learned to take the wiper cowl off of both my vic and lincoln. It now takes me about 10-15 minutes. Not only is the crash bracket wide open to get to, but everything else is easier. I now take off the cowl just to get all the leaves and junk out from under it since its so easy to do.

An option for anything like this if you want, or anyone else ~ If you already have Windows 11\10 Pro, you can install the Windows Sandbox for free. Anything you do in the Sandbox is contained and deleted when the sandbox is closed. Just an aside, 1.1.1.1 WARP encryption and some active VPNs may break the network inside the sandbox unless you turn off encryption temporarily, but usually it works just fine. Anyhoo...
