pro tip replace the stock radio

I'm in Canada I also have a 2008 P71, and 1 thing you forgot to mention is how they rot in the front Fender that's because there's an inch wide gap and all the rock salt sits up in that lip of the Fender and then gets activated from the heat of the engine make sure to keep that area oiled daily. Great video 🇨🇦

I have a 2010 Crown Vic police interceptor I bought it with a push bumper and the spotlight even had the separating cage and plastic back seat

I've had my 2005 p71 for like a yr now and love it . has around same miles

Thank you for this video. Very useful and helpful. One of the best videos ive seen about crown vics

thank you for posting this information about crown Victoria's especially a 2009. I have one too😁😁 always wanted to have one. and i got one finally 😁😁!!

Really good information and Thank you for posting!

Always check under the black plastic rocker trim under the doors. Usually a really rusty spot

Carpet shampoo in a can is great for the seats. Press and scrub, let dry and vacuum. My wife showed me that. My 2011 OPP unmarked unit’s driver’s seat had many stains of unknown origin.

I have a 2011 with 164k miles and has the typical display problem where you have to slap the dash to get the miles to show. One day it was acting better and I was able to cycle through to see the idle hours. 12,500 idle hours. That's insane, but it runs great and despite a little transmission whine she's still going strong.

Excellent review

picked up a vic. 152,000 miles, 2404 idle hours, ticket light, spotlight, no holes in dash, holes pugged with plastic. BUT... it's straight piped so ill need a new muffler

Great info, thank you.

great info-very helpful!!Thanks!

I had the heat shield from the exhaust manifold fall into my steering knuckle when i first got my 09.

Pure genius thanks man

This was a great video

My first ever car! 2003 PI. I love how the Vic’s can still drivable even with a lot of issues. Only the engine and the AC was working pretty. Then I bought a Dodge Charger police Interceptor! I became a dodge fan since than. You gotta love the 5.7L HEMI. But I have much respect for the Vic and consider buying 2010 for a change.

There is a traction control wire setup behind the panel next to the pedal adjust

They tear those interceptors up up there in Canada man! Down here they're all neat and clean when you buy them

I was waiting for the hood to close on the cat. 😂

GREAT VIDEO BRO!! I enjoyed it! Except for the unexpected Adds in between.😆

I enjoyed this video.

Amazon has the headlights and side markers as a kit for 70

I like the pedal adjusting feature. cuz I'm short. and that really helps 😁😁

My 09 p71 has a siren in the grill and small lights. Lights a hooked up but not the siren. May mess w it this weekend Mine has the push bar and the spot light

now I know how to fix my back windows 😁😁 thanks again

did it not come with the blue silicone coolant hoses? Thanks for showing the connector for the rear window switch, cool. Mine came with the strobes, some of the decals were still on, the complete prisoner divider wall which I eventually removed, the police trunk pack organizer with the kevlar to protect the gas tank, two spares, the jack, the computer tray and trunk antenna, lights in grill and rear window and the cup holder assembly, mine only had 70,000 miles on odo but unfortunately suffered alot of rust, even inside, the seat brackets are totally rusted to death and the paint was hell. Still a great car at a great price. I got it for $800 from a guy that sold it after he got it at auction. Awesome cars.

The missing rear door rods aren't 'removed', they've never been installed. They are part of a 'rear-door delete' kit, and the rods are usually supplied by Ford in a plastic bag in the trunk.....but quite often lost or removed from the trunk and never put back. Those kits in the trunk have everything, including the button, and the large pop-rivets for installation. If they're not there in the trunk when you inspect the vehicle, ASK for them. It's the same as the rear seats....they've got them stashed someplace.

Never heard “decal “ pronounced that way lol.

I'm looking at buying a P71 Crown Victoria here in a couple weeks so this information was definitely helpful. One big thing I am concerned about is the transmission.

I just changed the ignition coils and spark plugs but I keep losing coolant and I hope its not leaking in the coils I just had replaced. The coils all 8 cost me $250 . Now i’m told my manifold might be leaking into my coils. not happy. Also my dashboard doesnt light up, so i do not know how fast I am going or when I am running out of gas. was told 250 to replace that , just labor and since I do not have AC another 500 to fix that . $650 if I do both the dashboard and replace the AC Part thats also behind the dash board but on the Passanger side. I like the car , but things are starting to add up. Mine is a 2007 and still has all the strobes and flashing lights on them , except for the light bar on the roof. It has the side lights on the outside mirror and the spot light. I want to change that spot light to LED if possible. My son put new struts and brakes and rotors. Hope i can find that coolant leak later and its not leaking into my ignition coils. Otherwise I need to replace the plastic intake and now we talking $800 and possibly replacing the coils again if it leaked in there. Also i put a new alarm , but that alarm goes off every time while I am driving! it’s the car horn which is very annoying. I noticed it goes off more when someone is sitting in the passages seat or when I go in reverse. Not sure if thats an accurate assessment but I noticed that a few times. Could just be a coincidence and that it just goes off when I am driving in general. I love the batter in these cars , i wish I had a more smoother ride with the suspension. I seen one of the comments say to put the Grand Marquis suspension on for that luxury feel. I will consider that if i keep it long. Also, I would want higher and leather seats in the front like the back.

Gorilla tape works way better than duct tape for sealing up holes. Have had the same Gorilla tape on my CVPI roof for over 5 years now and it's going strong.

Hey PhotoMike do you have any driver side seat covers? I have a 2009 P71. I need to use it for a template, even if it’s beat up. Thanks my name is Joe...

Damn they don’t let y’all have any fun in Canada. I like my spotlight, pushbar, S&W M&P .45, and AR

Don't want to be that guy it is a great informative video but for example my 2002 has all the controls on the side of the seat rather been on the door panel it just depends on the year great video though 💯💯💯

bruh, u can get a set of crown vic headlights for < $70!

those damn hood stuts, i need to replace mine!

BC winters are gentler on car bodies than in Ontario. BTW what does “secure idle” mean ( sticker near the dash trunk release)? Also my 2011 P7B has no little vent slits like your’09 next to the AC controls: what are they for? Another feature I like that I don’t have is the km/miles odometer switch.

Hey Mike This video was great. I didn't know about being able to change the odometer from kms to miles nice tip. I have a question for you. I also watch Mr. Random and he said that the transmissions go on these crown vic s often. Have you found this to be true in your dealings with crown Victoria's? I think it may have something to do with the way he tends to drive them on his video's he tends to drive the heck out of them. I thought I would check with you on this since you appear to be a bit more respectful of you cars. Thanks love your video's

I have a 2010 crown Vic police interceptor and I’m from cali, my light panels and unlock/lock button lights stay on during night. Is that usual? Are they glow in the dark? Or is it draining my battery? I tried dimming the lights and turning off my headlights but does nothing to the button lights. Lights work and all just curious for the button lights

Did you ever figure out why the brake light was on?

Ok taking a lot of that out I get but the ash tray and cup holder tray doesn't make sense.

MY CAR HAS THE SAME EXACT MILES LIKE TOURS WHEN THEY HAVE THE MILES IN KILOMETERS IN CANADA BUT NOW THE CAR HAS 198,285 MILES

Be aware that many CVPIs don't have the mechanism in the back door, so a safety will require installation of this.

Noone has a installation video for the trunk antenna -_-

great job thanks

You realize the good tire thing is false. They most time take the good ones off and put some slick ones on to sell it. Because in action p71 will always have good tires but when They sell they use used tires

Those push bars are dangerous , should outlaw them !!! ?? Aye ! Decols ? Do you mean decals ? What if the curb is 1 inch higher than normal ? The P 71 can ride ruff , if you put new Grand Marquis struts in they ride like a luxury car, no kidding ! Better put some gas in that baby ! Thank you , very informative !!!

8:36 What is that small metal thing stuck on the windshield you touched??? I have one on my 2011 crown vic PI, what is that???

Hey so I'm thinking of buying a 03 CNG Crown Vic with about 60k Got any tips or are there any pros and cons I should know about this year, make and model?

Get yourself a civilian model and you save alot of work 👌🏼

I have a 99 Police interpreter !! Why do RUST IN THE SAME SPOT ! DOWN BY THE PANELS DOORS

Curbs and speed bumps are non factors for the P71's.................................................................................Ask me how I know this.

i can get two for 50 something in US

Any rust issues ???

Rips b pillar off and breaks clips lol

195K km directly from the auction? Sounds more like a private seller put it back up on auction. I’ve never seen a police car at government auctions with more than 160K km in them. Typically most are between 130K - 150K. Never seen one anywhere over 160K.

A deckle? What the hell is a deckle?

No cop posers in canada? lol i am coming home!

How you say decals is funny we say dee cals

Boy, those RCMP really are some cheap sob's... Taking all the lights and pushbars... That's like taking every lightbulb out of your house when you move.. Wth¿¿

Not totally true about the spot light. I bought a former city of London Ontario police 2010 Ford Crown victoria with the spot light still on the car.

duct tape
