Mr Random Reviews if you wanna know another Lil trick to shut the governor off to go over the top speed of the cluster as soon as you get to where the governor turns on hit the 4 ways and then you can go faster than your speedo says your going (REASON the 4 ways flash when in pursuit so they connected the governor to the 4 ways so when they flash you can go faster)try it.....

Perhaps they are in part 3, but you missed three items. 1. In slippery conditions, putting the shifter into the 2 position will put the transmission into 2nd gear. It puts down less torque and helps when pulling out from a stop in the snow. 2. The trunk button. Behind the dash is two wire connectors for that button. One allows it to work with the key off and the other restricts the button to only work with the key on. 3. In the trunk there is a manual trunk release, like if you were locked inside. It can be accessed from the outside by removing the reverse light (I think that's where it is, it's been a while) and the trunk can be opened from the outside without a key, and minimal damage. Some departments would weld a piece to block access.

Informative video. The part about the drug stash openings at the back seat is especially interesting (never knew they'd use that to stash stuff). One thing though- just because there may be a knock or ping in the engine doesn't necessarily mean it's rod knock. It might actually be the timing chain and tensioners, which get loose (and -according to Ford- should be replaced at around 120,000 miles). They'll make a bit of a racket at occasionally at startup until they're replaced. A rod knock will sound a lot more serious- something like someone smacking the engine block with an aluminum baseball bat... you'll definitely know when you hear it. Also- CVPIs after 2009 used P7B in the VIN instead of P71. I've had my CVPI now for a little over three years now. Got it when it had 89,000 miles on the odometer and 4100 hours on it (it has 147,880 mi/4335 hrs. on it now). Runs like a champ even with slight timing chain noise starting to happen.

Yeah my parents 91 Thunderbird SC had those same "secret" electric seat buttons wow. Oh and I love the "secret" fuse that you can remove to disable your traction control and ABS brakes. Wow my Truck has one of those "secret" fuse boxes.

You forgot to tell them about the hidden steering wheel. It's located right in front of the dash cluster and it can be used for steering the car in case your route requires turns and not just a straight line. Oh and the secret way to turn off the breaks without having to turn of traction control. You just snip the lines and tadaa, no breaks. But don't tell anyone. It's a secret.

the ABS on a cvpi does not have any thing to do with traction control traction control would be a separate circuit on the pcm also the fuel pump shut off is standard equipment on all modern vehicles to prevent engine fires from mva's also a "certified calabration"is only relevant if the tires are the same size I.E if some one bought new tires that were bigger the true speed would be higher than indicated speed and opposite for smaller tires

The ballistic doors are a $4k factory option and you can definitely feel the difference between those that have it and those that don't. I had a 2008 with ballistic doors and it takes effort to open and close those doors. There was a memo out to not kick those ballistic doors open to get them to shut when we are seated in the car because the heavy doors could come back with enough force to break your ankle.

If you pull off the console where the traction control switch should be located. I'll bet the harness is there. Go get a switch at a scrap yard

So they are hidden in other vehicles? Or did you mean certain vehicles or brands? I've owned many civilian vehicles of various brands and models that are fuel injected and newer than 97 that did not have any that were obvious to be found in the trunk or elsewhere. I'll keep that in mind and look into it more for future reference. If true, thanks for that info.

They are usually behind the carpeting and some in the inner structure on the sides of the trunk and some are behind the kick panels in the front footwells. Owners manuals will tell you where they are located. They are mandatory because if a fuel line becomes ruptured in a collision, the electric pump will continue to pump fuel creating a fire hazard. First one I ever saw was on the '84 Dodge Daytona Turbo I had as a teen.

i'm guessing state cruisers (highway patrol) have power seat, and maybe a few other creature comforts and performance upgrades. they spend all day in the car, and have to go faster than city police.

Not sure how accurate gps speed apps are, but all my vehicles have been dead on or within a mile per hour. I've also compared my speed to those police radar watch your speed things were I used cruise control so it would not vary. My 1998 oldsmobile 88 was accurate at highway speeds but at lower speeds like 30mph it was a mile per hour faster than what the speedometer said I was going. As long as the tires are correct size and inflated properly, any newer vehicle in good shape is likely callibrated properly in my experience. So far anyways and as far as mattering in most court cases where being off by one mile will not make any difference. Also many officers in my experience of riding with other people that were speeding, the officers reduce the speed on the ticket to be nice. If you were not purposely speeding and if you don't give them a hard time anyways.

And thanks again... :-)

Hello sir, I was wondering about the custom Ford emblem, could you please send me some information about how to get one with the blue line on it. Thanks for any help.

I'm looking at either a 2000 or 2009 crown Vic. The 2000 (p71) has 120k miles, dual flow master exhaust, and cold air intake. The 2009 (p71) has 130k miles. Does it matter? Price is $3000 for the 2000 and $3100 for the 2009.

2009 is flex fuel.

They dont have kevlar in the front doors. cops remove the panels at end of service to be put into new cars or the panels get destroyed. they are never sold to civilians unless the car was totalled and the panels were not accessible. the P7B is a continuation of the P71. You have the same features as the 06+ but the guy who makes these videos is clueless. If you want to know some real secrets, message me. I'll tell you more then this guy could ever even guess.

the fuel cut off is on all late modle ford most of them are in the kick panel on the passenger side floor board

Several years ago a friend of mine ppurchased a Crown Vic at a government auction. He did not own the vehicle but only a week or so. He did notice at one time it drove extremely quick. Also he noticed that his daily work commute was using much less fuel than normal. Few days later the police showed up at his place of work, which was a body show,and they explained this car had not gone through the process of making it ready to be sold to the public. The car was taken from him,nad the money paid at auction was refunded. Don't know if I would have agreed to this without first asking for legal advise. The was nothing on the bill of sale stating anything but sale is final. The buyer purchased the car in good faith, and believe he had legal rights to the car. What do you think?
