  1. Looks to be a very nice care, well maintained. Obviously, to seller doesn’t know much about the TC, calling it

    a Town and Country. Also, he or she doesn’t know the car has a manual top, saying the top doesn’t work. I can

    just see them trying to lower the top, pushing all the switches for the tonneau cover or seat adjustments, and getting nowhere! Too bad there are no photos of the engine compartment or trunk interior.

  2. It’s interesting to note that the mileage figure for highway is 24. The combined would be about 21. On my ‘90 V-6 

    I would say the combined is closer to 28. I can usually go about 300 miles on a little over 10 gallons of regular.

    Does anyone have comparable mileage numbers to report?

  3. If the outside turn signal flashes slower than normal it usually is the turn signal flashing unit that’s defective.

    If the hazard warning flashers are normal, then it’s definitely the turn signal flashing unit. The hazard flasher

    is mounted on fuse block. The turn signal flasher is mounted on left side of center, under dash.

  4. I use Castrol Magnetec 10W-30  engine oil in my '90 TC V6 and it seems to function well.

    Castrol Magnetec oil is supposed to have the ability to cling to all surfaces and prevent 

    "dry" starts, which they claim is when 75% of all wear occurs. No engine is going to last forever

    but this may help to prevent unnecessary wear.

     

  5. Just as an aside to the problem of small gage wires, as mentioned. Wouldn't the use of LED headlight bulbs

    instead of the normal halogen bulbs, reduce the wattage significantly and hence limit current 

    draw to the point that a small gage wire would be adequate, without the attendant overheating?

    Perhaps this would be a simple solution that would undoubtedly be less costly than installing relays. Plus, the LED bulb would certainly outlast the life of the car!

  6. Hi Turbo Kane,

    I'm looking for the driver's side ginger colored plastic seat belt cover that attaches to the seat on the left side near the floor.

    It must be in good condition, no cracks and complete. Let me know if you have this item and cost including shipping to 

    Williamsport, PA. 17701. I can pay with PayPal.  Email me at:    rmtroutman@ gmail.com   or respond on this site. Thanks.

  7. Yes, I agree with Hemi, a 50/50 mix of a quality brand extended life anti-freeze and distilled water will be all you need. Make sure you buy straight anti-freeze and not the prediluted type that you don't add water to. They are about the same price and a gallon of straight anti-freeze and a gallon of distilled water is a lot less expensive that two gallons of the prediluted antifreeze. Think about it.
