FOXBODY PRO TIPS: THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW / PART 1 

Probably Andrew😂

@@bashgarage503 prob when picking up little Debbie crumbs off his phone😂

@@bashgarage503 lol that’s comical. Probably Andrew 😂 Always someone out there going to be negative. These kinds of tips are worth gold if you have a no start that’s hard to figure out.

Chevy guys 🤷‍♂️😂

Prius owners.

MOST of the RU-vid guys are great and very knowledgeable but I think BREW2L is the best

Thanks bud 🤝

I’ll have to do research on that...

I’ve had foxes for over 2 decades and never used cruise control once but now I’m curious as to how it works..I know vacuum is involved and it holds a diaphragm at a certain pressure which holds the cable in the position of the throttle..it would make interesting content

I added Factory Cruise Control to my 1988 Saleen. The system is pretty neat. Ford had a tool just for testing it. www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Rotunda-007-00013-Speed-Control-Automatic-System-Tester-w-Operator-Manual/184343774653?epid=13007108095&hash=item2aebbec5bd:g:ZesAAOSw--Ne99gg

Perfect! I’ll be sure to include that in the next video. Thanks bro!

Awe.the inertia switch.so your fox don’t burn to the ground in a rear end collision like the cop car crown vics did

@@89gt5.0 The inertia switch came out of the Pinto fiasco I think. The cop Crown Vic fires were due to the installers putting the gun rack in with self tapping screws and not knowing they were millimeters away from the fuel tank (dumb). The inertia switch wouldn't help with a direct puncture in the tank.

@@LiquidSSSnake I’m sure the screws on the gun rack didn’t help either but even the civilian panthers had a similar issue because the straps for the gas tank had screws that would puncture the gas tank in a collision..I’m a ford fan for life but they aren’t always the smartest 🤔

Most mustang has that i the same issue in my 03 gt

ALSO, the connector to the switch typically melts. Just replacing the switch is only half the job. If you don't also replace the connector within the dash, then one night, you'll be driving along and your headlight will simply go out.

Lol tell them I said thanks though 👌🤣

@brew2l out here at sadies today

Wipers only work when you push the wash button or when switched on high. No delay function. Replace multi function switch. Still no go

Thanks bud 👍

@@BREW2LFOXBODY hey, in your video you referenced fusible links. Since I can’t see your video and where you’re pointing to, could you give me a description of where those are so that I can find them in the event that I need to fix them? I have a talking multimeter so I can do the diagnostic part but I wasn’t exactly sure where you were pointing to on your video.

@Clay located at starter solenoid on driver side fender wall

Sweet! Never knew that 👌

@@BREW2LFOXBODY i found out the hard way! I pulled the engine in my 86 Capri to freshen up the gaskets and put a upr k-member in it. When I put the engine back in it was running like crap. I noticed my o2s weren't switching in the datalogs.

So many forums shot themselves when they made a FB page. I hate FB groups, cant reference anything for later. YT is the next best thing. Then the kids get on forums and don't know how to properly format a question, it's like a FB post.

Forums seem more suited for Tech. Decades of information out there on forums got the Foxbody. FB isn’t easy searchable.

I still go to the forums with problems first. This page is ok,I wouldn't call it great. Videos are great for how to's but the forums seem better at actually flushing out a problem. It would be even better if people followed up on their own posts,which seems to cause a disappearing act once the apparent problem has been solved.

A good long,low profile jack is a good place to start. Then,make you a pair of small ramps,four/five inches tall out of layered particle board or plywood. That will gain you the clearance you need to jack where you have the most support,thick metal. I always to jack the entire front end from the center of the k-member when working upfront. You can also jack from the outer base of either lower control arm but you have to be careful,and sure of your position,that the jack doesn't slip. In the rear,I again,jack from the center usually. A jack just behind the rear pumpkin,so you don't damage the seal,is the best way to jack up the rear at one time. But again,it's important you are sure of your jack's position. You can also jack from the lower control arms in the rear but it's a bit trickier. I usually jack one side up enough to get a jack stand under one side and then jack from behind the pumpkin(rear axle) as mentioned. That's only if my ramps are already being used up front. My cars are all lowered,these are tricks that help with gt's especially,because of the clearance issues created the ground effects. If you're jacking anywhere along the ground effects,you're butchering the bottom of your car. Always use jack stands,always!

They’ll still charge an arm and a leg though 😂

Ford really dropped the ball with these switches .hell even a new one is lose fitting

I’ve seen it but after 25+ years and 12+ foxes I’ve never experienced it myself..I once had a tumbler explode on me and that was a fun week with my screwdriver for a key 😂🤣

Mine did it last summer. Oh I was so pissed. Was literally about to take it to a cruise
