Hi All !
Weather permitting, I will be heading out to the Junkyard tomorrow. If there is anything you need me to look for, send me an email today/tonight! I will leave pretty early Saturday a.m.

Here's what I need to know:

Part name (# if you have it)
Donor Make/Model/Year/Eng/Trans (whatever info applicable)
Part Description (Left or right,front or rear,color,Qty,etc,etc)
Identifying marks to help me make sure I have my hands on the right one
Price you are looking to spend (not including shipping)

I went a couple weeks ago, and they had (13) Taurus,(7) XJs, and (12) ZJ/WJ's Hopefully I can help you get what you need.

Thanks!
Jerry

$25 at the pick and pull I go to. Just got another one about 3 months ago. I normally build my own shroud for them

Hi -
Junkyard update!

SHOWTIME !
I was only able to find one car with the E-Fan. If I decide to not use it on my rig, I will let you know Showtime! I hope to go back to the yard each weekend, so I will keep your request at the top of the list !

XJM - do you mean the little flat/rectangular console that doesnt have an armrest?
If you have a pic to send it would be a huge help ! Any certain color?

thanks!
Jerry

Sid that fan come from a car with the 3.8L? There are several configurations of efans for the Taurus.

Yep, the E-fan did come from a 3.8....took me awhile to find that Engine type...then even longer to rip out the condenser and bend around the radiator just to make enough room to wiggle out the E-fan!.......the story kinda went like this...1) finally ! I found a 3.8 !! 2) Crap ! Its not a Taurus, its a Sable...3) well. it might be ok...I will research later...4) Crap again! Look at all the damage I gotta work around to get this damn thing out!....I have the booger now.....I dont even care at this point if its the WRONG one! I wasn't about to let this car kick my ass! LOL
Later!

I guess 97+ XJ ZJ WJ have dual diaphragm brake booster. I am in another end of globe and we use logistics company in CA for collecting things from states. air cargo is way economical than usps ups fedex etc

That is correct Od, the ZJ booster is dual diaphragm. I have one myself I am going to install. It will move the master cylinder about 1.25" forward.

Thanks XJ Wheeler ! I am doing a lot better now, but yeah, they had to remove the gallbladder arthoscopically. Its a pretty simple procedure as far as surgeries go. If it keep bugging her, she should prob go see a Dr.

Thanks! Seems to keep bothering her, i believe they're called gallbladder attacks. She was in the hospital for it last week but it subsided, so they sent her home to wait to do the surgery. She's gonna talk to the nurses tomorrow, probably looking at having taken out.
