this might be a little too specific of a topic but i'll ask anyway. Gem guards also known as "bumper teeth" were commonly used by police in New York and Florida. i have this pair off an old Nassau County car but A.) one is bent following a minor accident with the car they came off of. and B.) i...

so in my infinite wisdom, i broke the linkage from the speedometer cable that splits to the cruise control when swapping to a 125 mph speedo. i had this fixed at a local mechanioc. now even with this fixed the speedometer doesn't show the correct speed and is about 10 mph off. i'm out of...

recently pulled the 125mph speedo from my parts car. would love to put this in my Civ gran fury. just some things i'd like to know. are 125mph speedometer cables easy to come by? i think RockAuto had em? are they compatible with cruise control? i don't really care if my cruise control gets cut...

most likely the Catalytic Converter? car runs and drives fine

i pulled apart the dome light i took out of my 83. twisting wasn't doing anything so i used a tool to pull it apart, this cracked the top sadly. would anyone out there so happen to have a spare? if not i can live with there being a crack in it. thx

thinking about swapping out my regular door chime for the old scary Buzzer. i know most people hate them but i personally find the noise quite nostalgic. probably because i haven't heard it since i was little. is it near the Fuse Box? ots not plugged up directly to it, is it? thanks.

today i am listing my father's 1983 Dodge Diplomat AHB. vehicle last ran around 2010ish and last i knew had many issue. car was daily driven for years and the rough Maryland weather and daily interstate commute into Baltimore did its toll on the old car but she is still mostly solid. last i...

was recently pulled over and given a warning by the Bel Air, Maryland Police. officer said from where he was (behind my car and in the left lane) he could not see my seatbelt. luckily i was only given a warning because he had to document the reason for the stop. I asked my father who also drove...

been giving it a thought. i'm young and none too familiar with carb tuning and all that jazz. my Gran Fury is daily driven even in winter (it's my first and only car) shes been chugging gas and most repair shops around here (Baltimore Metro Area) just don't wanna or know how to mess with a...

its likely something super simple and can be done at a local shop for cheap but i'd like it if any of you guys can give me a clue first. i daily my car and lately when driving down the hill i live atop when hitting the brakes at the bottom they seem to get stuck a bit. i've had it to where the...

so my cars temp gauge has never worked (88 Gran Fury non AC) and the alternator gauge only occasionally springs to life on start up before dying seconds later. beginning to think it might need a new coolant temp sensor to fix this. car sometimes stalls during summer and can be slow to warm up in...

been figuring out whats wrong with my fury. several Vaccum lines have been plugged with screws causing a blevvy of leaks thus the clicking noise and stall. one last one needs to be fixed. this one at the rear of the carb is plugged with a big screw and cut.

i like how the 81 Reliant had a hood ornament including the Plymouth logo. i'd like to find one of these and put it on my Gran Fury. i've also seen several pictures of Gran Furys and Caravelles sporting black Diplomat style grilles with Plymouth lettering. i've always liked the black grilles the...

been thinking about installing a spotlight on my car. i have a few lights off junkyard dips and vics. i've heard it can be hard to install a spotlight on a Diplomat because of how skinny the A-pillar is you can accidentally crack the windshield.

inspired by @picklesgarage's post i thought it'd be interesting to gather different pieces of media featuring FMJ cars. what i'm most looking for are news articles, news clips/stories, true crime stories, advertisements especially if an FMJ car is featured in an ad for something unrelated to the...

my car sat outside for several of years before i got it and sits outside now as i live in a townhouse development surrounded by trees therefore bird shit is a constant annoyance. tried washing the car and really rubbing in but the stain is still there. the trunk is polka dotted with doo doo...

i'm sure many of you have had to fix the HVAC hoses. i've gotten it except for one thing. where does the grey hose go? from the schematics it clearly doesn't go to the bushel the others go to but it still clearly has a crumbled piece of plastic on it. video i watched said something about a...

been trying to figure out why both my heat and defroster don't work. horn is also broke but that much just be the horns themselves as those have broke on all m bodys we've had. checked the fuses and saw that several were missing. put new ones in and they just fell out. i can't seem to find my...

i've looked around but i can't seem to find just the right ring. i have a set of 3 but i can't find a fitting or similar looking beauty ring for my car. Others are either to expensive, don't fit or are to cheap/plastic. if anyone has a beauty ring made specifically for the Diplomat/Aspen police...
