Thank you! I know I'm getting off topic. I found this old girl,in the Tampa Bay area, almost 3 yrs ago. She was delivered to Brandon Chrysler Plymouth in Brandon, FL. One owner, garage kept with only 42K original miles. She was part of an estate sale and many thing were replaced and refreshed...

UPDATE: Once again thanks for all your replies. The last two times(over 3 weeks) I took her out for a drive, my initial cold start troubles have not occurred...go figure? She fires rite up and warms up just fine. Aside from the throttle tip in sag, she runs okay. I included a pic to show off my...

AJ/FormS - Thanks for taking your time to respond. I have the next two days off, so I will be checking it out...

I have an '89 FA with 43,000 miles on her. She is my one and only and sits stored must of the time. I do take her out 2 or 3 times a month for extended drives. I do realize with only 43K on her she has spent most of her life sitting. Here is my problem: Lately, upon cold starting she will fire...

I need to find a new home for my old girl. Will you all help me out? 55,000 miles, gorgeous velour interior, all power features work, SATC works except no a/c, original paint in good condition, snowflake wheels in good condition and vinyl top in great shape. One of the original EL opera lamps...

OK lets see...I had them install a Mevotech tranny mount. Yes the vibration is engine related only and I can feel it in the body from the moment I start her up. So yes at idle and also when accelerating. It's like a low frequency humming sound...

No more clunking at all though!

I just had new u-joints and a new tranny mount installed and now I can feel engine vibration in the floor pan! It's also noisier now inside the cabin....WTF??? Any ideas why?

You guys are not the only ones. My '89 with 42K on her does the same thing. She shakes like a cheap motel bed from 55 to 65 mph. I have had new tires, new rotors, new pads and a new steering gear box replaced. The shake has lessened a lot but is still there! I don't really feel it in the...

Sorry it took so long to update, but here are some photos of my Vitour Galaxy R1 225/75/15s installed. Very quiet tire so far. The only problenm I am having is the whitewalls keep browning! Wesleys BleachWhite every week seems to work, but the browning still reappears.

Thanks for the PM info!

I know, I know... I have 215s on my '89 5th and she drives just fine, plus I had to have the wider WW at 1 1/4". My '89 has Hankook Optimo h724 WW and these are the smoothest and quietest tires I have ever owned, but they have a very small WW.

Exactly! I will keep you updated, I am going to have them mounted and balanced this week.

I found a source in Cali called Performance Plus Tire and Auto. They are located in Long Beach, CA and carry a new Chinese brand called Vitour Galaxy R1. They have 2 sizes for our cars: 215/75/15 with an 1 1/4" whitewall or 205/75/15 with an 1" whitewall. I bought the larger size for $89 each...

Thank you... About finding tires, I found a source in Cali that has wide whitewalls. 205/75/15 have 1" WW and the 215/75/15 have 1 1/4" WW. I ordered the larger size and they arrived yesterday. The brand name is Vitour Galaxy R1 and I bought them from Performance Plus Tire and Auto in Long...

Can I PM you? and how do I do this?

Awesome! Nice looking 5th! It seems we have the same year and color. If I remember correctly, my build date was 3/89... Yes, this site has helped me tremendously!

forgot the pics...

Thanks to Master M, I just finished my replacement of the EL strips in my '89 5th. I got the strips off of ebay and they seemed to be of good quality. I hope they hold up!

Thanks! Are you still in Daytona?

Thanks to all! I just love our M bodies!!! Yes this car is the base model, not the 5th Ave Edition. This is why I love her so much, also because it's the only M that has the New Yorker badge on the sail panels. I found her on central florida craigslist. One owner and very well taken care of. So...

I bought her for $1900 with 86K on the odometer. One owner who definitely took car of this beauty! I did order a set of original Chrysler wire wheel covers to replace the plastic ones that the previous owner had on her.

IME with my 5th aves, when you slide the temp lever hotter or colder, this sends current to the electric motor on top of the blend air door to open or close depending on your desired temp. Mine got stuck on full heat and the motor never worked again, so I had to disconnect the heater hoses and...

It's either 1 1/8 inch or 1 3/32 inch. Not sure which one is for a regular M Body.

Hello, what is the diameter of the front sway bar on my '89 5th? There are two sizes listed? My car does not have the heavy duty option...
