  • COP CAR SUCKS... NO MATER WHAT! A PIGGY SHIT IS ALWAYS A PIGGY SHIT,CHEVY,DODGE,FORD... A good advice to buy used car is.... take your hoghunting dogs with you next time.

  • Nice bit of trouble shooting and the explanation was great! Cool vid.

  • these cars are not made for propane

  • sorry, no car company can fix ignorance.

  • @killakobra Hahaha

  • POS Ford. hahaha :P

  • so because it was beaten to complete shit by a police force its fords fault that it has a bunch of problems? buying an ex fleet or rental vehicle of any make youre going to get a shitty beaten up car, nothing is worse than a car with many different drivers who dont give a fuck about it

  • this POS netbook has an ISSUE LOL only 1 gig of ram...... acer is the FORD of puters. can't wait till I get the motherboard so I can fix my dell!!!!

  • junk it. i dont like fords either but that wasnt a recall or engine problem normally...thats some bad ownership. and it being a cop car means yes it was treated bad. they constintly run and never get checked either then their oil...bad

  • cant blame ford for a negligent owner

  • I install propane systems and I can tell you what happened. Chevy has the same problem when you put a mixer on the front of the intake and fill the intake manifold full of fuel/air mix. The intake wasnt designed to have that in it so there was no provision to keep static electricity out. When you get a spark in the intake it blowes up. When these cars are from the factory with propane it is port injection. You could run a set of impco 100's like hilborn injection and it would work.

  • stop blaming Ford n fix the problem, shithead :D

  • Dave you should have used a cigar to test for leaks...

  • Jim Lahey Says: PROPANE PROPANE ..... PROPANE PROPANE :D

  • mmmmm gasoline

  • its not fords fault thats a modified cop car 

  • Just f**king trash it.

  • Oh, and this video explained to me exactly WTF is wrong with mine. THANK YOU!

  • Woo! I have almost the same propane setup on my CVPI! And yes, I'm fighting backfires now. Argh!

  • The Ford Crown Victoria is one of the recent last best cars Ford has made (other than the SuperDuty & the Econoline van). This is s modified system that was neglected, not Fords fault at all.

  • Thats about a 500 dollar intake. Had to do it on my dads truck, only part that sucked about it was the fact that i had to do it on a van

  • Not a problem on Ford's construction.

  • I dont see how this is a failure on Fords part as opposed to someone not properly monitoring and maintaining a combustion motor.

  • 95% of Fords built since 1971 are on the road today.....The other 5% actually made it home!

  • my friends refur to the fords as the (f word) .

  • What do you expect if you convert your car to propane from gasoline? I've had PLENTY of problems with GM vehicles in the past, and at least FORD didn't need a government bailout recently. If you do that to ANY vehicle, not just Ford you will have this problem.

  • Welcome back, Dave! I didn't know you had a new channel. Glad I found it.

  • Dave, your lucky you just blew the top part of your 4.6L intercepter, and not your whole farm. Propane "boils" or turns from liquid to gas at -44c. It is possible to have a little liquid propane flow at very cold winter temps. outside. Just because you can use it in your bbq, does not make the person cooking an expert gas technician! I love watching your videos, so next time let Rickem play with the propane and Dave, just stand back........Way Back.

  • you shoulda shown us how bad clogged the cats were

  • Why don't you take out the catalytic converters then?

  • Way to go, you fucked up your car by converting it to propane

  • not the only cop car thats been to your house

  • i would use ethanol instead of propane. I haven't had any problems using ethanol in my car.

  • Al-u-mini-um. Sound it out.

  • Alright all you Ford haters, I am willing to bet that this would happen to any vehicle that ran on gas, converted to propane, that has cats and is in a cold climate. As he even told you the root of the problem was that at such a cold startup temperature the propane system wasn't fully atomizing the fuel, that is something that would happen on any vehicle that is running on propane in a cold climate. That includes all makes and all models, not just Fords. I am not ignorant to that fact.

  • and this is why fords suck

  • Nothing wrong with the car until you destroyed it... This video makes me want to unsub from you theres people like my self who want a ford inceptor and cant afford one and then people like you just destroy them disgusting. Three year long sub NOW gone

  • The problem is circled on the grille called a Ford.

  • this guy is awesome

  • you couldn't pay me enough money to sit in this pos. you would be safer in a pinto than sitting in this thing with that hack job of a fuel tank.

  • Lol look at all these retards making fun of Ford. If all those acronyms were true wouldn't you think they would be out of business by now? Any Chevy guy want to explain to me why my '96 Chevy Cavalier is falling apart? It shouldn't be, Chevys are supposed to be the best apparently. Oh yeah you're welcome Chevy guys (you should know why).

  • Ford does suck

  • man that shit's glowing as fuck

  • ford does not sucks

  • So he blames it on the fact that it's a ford, then proceeds to tell us how a non ford system rigged to a ford caused the problem, Awesome?!?!?! Moron! Also to the comment about the crappy plastic intake, most companies have done at some point and i have worked on my gm 3800 series II with the plastic intake than ford 4.6l.

  • @rockin86ranger u mad?

  • @CVRealMan Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, unfortunately youtube made it possible for really stupid opinions to spread.

  • @rockin86ranger you dont need to call someone a moron because they joke about fords. If you have actually watched dave's videos, you would know that he owns and likes fords as well.

  • @CVRealMan I have watched some of his videos and i have never once heard him say a good thing about ford. Also while i find some of his video mildly entertaining, they are only entertaining for the dumb moments in it. Like i said everyone is entitled to their own opinion. (Also i clicked on this video before i realized whose channel it was on)

  • I have only owned one Ford.. Thanks to the Texas Lemon Law Ford recieved the Piece of junk back.

  • Go Chevrolet!

  • Say what you want about Fords, but the Crown Vic will always be one of the toughest cars ever made.

  • is that redneck gas tank somehow legal?

  • cool gas tank Dave. peace out from the 80's kid

  • 0:44 favourite part haah !!

  • runs too rich dude... its after burning in the exhaust is all.

    When this happens the honey comb structure in the catalytic converter will collapse and cause it to not let thru much exhaust gasses.

  • Ford crown vics are awesome cars, so are the Mercury Grand Marquis, and the Lincoln Towncar, all of them are Very Safe, Very Big, and Very Dependable!

  • I'm assuming part of the problem to be the crappy nylon/plastic intake manifold that has to be included in any proper denigration of the Ford Motor Company. A metal one probably wouldn't have blown out. They also cracked and leaked coolant, so I certainly wouldn't have used them in any application where retaining coolant was a priority (haha). Nice analysis of the breakdown scenario.

  • I understood that the valves must be set deeper in the combustion chamber for propane cumbustion. Reason being, that propane continues to burn after it enters the exhaust manifold, and the deeply set valve quenches this process sooner. Anyway, these 4.6 engines have gone 500 000 mi. But in order to sell the next model yr. the pros must villify the current model. I'm sure someone tore apart a Tiger tank and found many problems too. Sabotage happens with any marque. Auto industry defined.

  • I have loved all my Fords. They really are great cars. The panther platform will be missed.

  • Actually the cat is glowing because its misfiring. The unburned air/fuel mixture is then burned in the cat. Having become a blowtorch, the catalyst melts and clogs the exhaust. As for the idea that propane is clean, new gasoline and diesel engines actually have lower exhaust emissions.

  • if you do it right it will work

  • well,are you gonna shut it down or wait til it catches?

  • Found On Road Dead,Forward Only Rolling Downhill,Fix Or Repair Daily,F-ing Owner is Retarded Dumbass,Fixed On Race Day,Flip Over Read Directions,First On Repair Dolly,First On Recall Day.....Had a Ford will NEVER go back to it!! CHEVY all the way!!

  • @dkhill27 Built FORD tough...........Without your tax dollars.

  • plastic intakes are made to make a mechanic money

  • Dave knows so much about cars it's scary....

  • Lol. That cops needs to go back to collage.

  • I hope you can fix the motor Dave that's a powerful police motor; btw I learn something new everyday from you; it's like science I'm glad your back Dave don't let YouTube tell u otherwise, also the police cuz u make great videos

  • do you have any propane accessories?

  • Fibreglass Over Rust and Dents

  • holy shit dude. you are one smart fellar. I wanna be just like you when I grow up.

  • that's interesting. Why did a propane powered car even have catalytic converters? LPG burns so clean it shouldn't need them

  • Dave why the fuck would a dude drive with propain this car isn't Kit from knight rider

  • do you know what ford stand's for

  • @supperclodbuster

    First on race day, of course.

  • @supperclodbuster fucked on race day/found on road dead

  • ford are junk

  • All that shit and you blame Ford??? Come on get real Dave.

  • Mr Dave your a Jack of all Trades!!

  • Who needs a cat,.

  • ford never designed it to run on propane! let alone a abused propane system

  • @bobbybob3680 ford cats just suck ass...mine clogged up as well and im running bone stock...

  • @bobbybob3680 that is true, however, Ford HAS sold the exact same engine in the exact same vehicle, with the exact same intake manifold, and the exact same year modified by Ford for CNG from the factory. So this engine and car is certainly happy with this type of idea.

  • the car wasnt made to run of propane. its a CV. just talk to a ford master mechanic... running propane tru a gas motor.= dumb/gonna fuck it up.

  • @tatortheoxford67 not even close, you can run any petrol engine perfectly on propane - i've done about 100,000 miles on it with no issues at all. The propane conversion on this car is a redneck lash up, which is why the car runs like crap. a decent propane injection system runs 100% the same as on petrol.

  • knew it wasent fords falt who ever jerry rig the propain is to blame

  • everybody makes mistakes guys remember that i think he deserves another chance

  • Lol less beer for me. I'm glad david is back!

  • accually i have seen them beat the crap out of those cars, they have no regard for tax money.

  • Well, cops beat the nut bag off of their vehicles, so that doesn't surprise me in the least...

  • You learn something new every day, especially at David's Farm!

  • its like my science class o.0

  • Dave, can't you make a police chase movie at the farm or something? That would be kinda fun ;)

  • @urbex2007 Why so mad?

  • is he really a sex offender

  • @Zedddy313 who the hell cares?

  • @Zedddy313 Convicted

  • the problem is circled on the grill :)

  • Different kind of underglow....

  • great video!

  • Ditch the Fraud and buy the beer. You'll be a whole lot better off.

  • you know what to do! cut the bastards off and just run open manifiold! Glad your back Dave!

  • arr the fun of LPG. if the plugs and leads are faulty it can do the same thing.

  • hahaha, towards the end, it sounds like somebodies blowing something up in the background. i heard a rev limiter XD

  • 1 week+ to repair it,a bunch of hours to dump it and throw another engine in it,plus a few other moments of tweaking and testing the new setup.

  • Had a 2002 Impala have the same thing happen. It was a former taxi from Boston and, as one poster said, its the maintenance that makes the difference. The 3.8 in the Impala should have gotten 200,000 miles on it. The intake cracked at 123,000 because the owner before me let it sit through the winter with just water in the rad. When we started it in the spring the rad had to go and we figured all was well until that cat plugged. Just like your Vic.

  • @rickillam hey i live near boston you shouldve gotten a p71 or marquis

  • @MusicWithDABASS The original title said AAA Taxi Company on it. Car is running and belongs to a friend. Minus the propane and original engine. Too good of shape to junk.

  • I wouldnt have even bought it!

  • Ford's strong. Maintenance is key to anything. There was neglect from the previous owner

  • YES!!! HE'S BACK! I SAW A RANDOM VIDEO ON THE RIGHT AND I'M LIKE START UP CHEVIAC? DAVEEEEE!!

  • Dear Dave,

    I have 96 crown vic. gas fired. make sure to check the intake maniold for cracks. Dang intake is made of plastic! Check on the internet about it it may of been replaced. If it has it will be metal up front were the alternator mounts which is also a cracking spot. I know this all to well I have an old retired police cruiser and it has the 302 motor. The motor is strong when it is in good condition. Well just thought I would let you know and glad your back.

  • not a car guy so dont know anything but did you say that thing runs on propaine

  • paedo

  • i think the 4.6 engine that Ford has is as far as i know is the worst engine they have, but in other words, Ford is fucken the best...

  • imy guess is that you are correct on the liquid lp puddling in the intake and causing the hole...the diaphram you had in your hand from the mixer..they are easily damaged from backfires....love your videos......you live anywhere near Port Franks Ontario?

  • you were close on the description of the lp regulator (also called a "vaporizer"). The engine coolant going to the vaporizer doesnt exactly change the liquid lp to a gas.....the vaporizer allows the liquid lp to expand and that vaporizes it....this action makes the vaporizer extremely cold....the engine coolant actually warms the vaporizer to keep it from freezing up...you can see this in action on lots of lp fueled equiptment...when they freeze up, the vehicle will die.

  • they found the problem and circled it

  • Dual Fuel aint uncommon here In Australia 1 out of 5 vehicles are running Dueal Fuel - starts on unleaded petrol then once you go to take off it Blips over to LPG (liquid Petrolium Gas) automatically as currant Petrol Prices are 145.9 cents per litre ($1.45 per litre for those of you who cant understand the Original English From England and LPG is 55.9 cents per litre Plus we have some post 2008 vehicles which are LPG Only from factory, LPG wont work efficiantly if it aint setup correctly

  • I’m confused by you are blaming the car.

  • it has a 4.6 and take a look there is an issus with the intake and because ik for a fact i have an 1998 mustang gt 4.6 and ive hadda replace it 2 times

  • I HATE fords to dave.

  • Good video Dave :)

  • Deadass, these crown vics go hundreds of thousands of miles as taxi's and patrol units.

  • @99gpse the only reason deloreans dont have parts made in china is beacuse they are still using the original parts from way back when the.company shut.down but as with any car manufacturer it dosent matter.how well the build quality is if you dont take care of it it wont last

  • You need to spend $100 and get a gas tank in the trunk like 5 gallons and i would say. Put it with the school bus and a bunch of like nice stuff for whatever.

  • Don't get rear ended with your redneck gas tank in the trunk.

  • are you kidding most cops don't respect the cars for shit much less like a car. Fords are badass!

  • @chaos5500 I live in north east USA, my neighbor is a cop, Z06 vette in garadge and the new ford focus in drive way.

  • Comment removed

  • *Kick ass

  • FORD - Fix Or Repair Daily.

  • It's not Ford's fault. It's the previous owner's.

    BTW glad you're back, Dave.

  • Fords are good like any others it's just they don't get taken care of you gotta buy smart!

  • Very impressive knowledge!

  • should make a car that runs on beer :D hmmmmm..... think that might be a waste of beer lol

  • boy we've got a propane genrator and it take a lttile to start but it takes right off and run every tank about five hours

  • "less beer for me" can u be anymore canadian. lol

  • lol that propane system has nothing to do with Ford... it is made to run with gas, no propane

  • HOLY CRAP!!!!! them are some plugged up Kitty Cats Lol

  • I never understood why you all use 5 gallon buckets for fuel tanks when the car comes with a fuel tank.????

  • @JimmyRayhere either the gas tanks were removed, had leaks, in tank fuel sender was busted just outside or inside the tank. Would you spend $300+ on a free farm car to be able to drive it or use a 5 gallon bucket for free?

  • cut exhaust off before cats go cash them in for the platinum and get ya $200 ha ha. Then have side exiting exhaust after the front tires..

  • around here we don't say the F word.

  • CANADA HAT WOOOOHOOOOOO

  • So Dave even in the winter, if your propane car is full of antifreeze that antifreeze is still cold at start-up unless you have a block heater, and even a block heater is not going to keep the antifreeze at 180 degrees. So every cold winter mourning your propane car is going to run like pos until it gets up to running temp?

  • i've had more problems with my ford than the old pontiac i used to drive.

  • @MrHillbillyjoe was it a cop car then a taxi that was converted to propane?

  • I think Ford's are okay, but I would rather change out a broken tranny in a Dodge every 100,000 miles than lift up an f350's cab for rear engine service.

  • @522viper Blame international.

  • You win some, You lose some when it comes to buying hacked up used vehicles Dave. No fault of the emblem that's on the front grill. I would have never found DavesFarm if it wasn't for that 85 mustang burnout video.

  • it wasn't made to run on propane no wonder it fucked up. try to fix it dave :)

  • I'm sure there are a few puddles around the farm that would cool those cats down right quick.

  • But damn this isn't really Ford's fault since they never intended the Vic (or any other Panther engine) to run on Propane. Whoever owned that car didn't know how to maintain it properly.

  • I love Crown Vics alot but any model made between '99 and '05 are shitty and have alot of defects. Anything before or after is fine.

  • ford= fixed or repaired daily

  • the intake is a known defect. Google it. wikipedia has some info on it too.

  • Is rick gonna steal the propane for his camper now? lmao

  • stupid question but how do they get plugged? lol

  • make sure you check the regulator diaphragm as well if you havent already. The split if there is not enough antifreeze

  • dave says never buy ford... should of said never buy old police cars that run on propane.. those police interceptors are one of the toughest cars you can buy today!!

  • Fords suck man! Every one i've had either ran like shit or died with rust! Fuk em! Sticking to Volvo like the last 10 years!

  • @martian953 Ford makes Volvo. You are a fail.

  • No fail mate, i worked for them for years! Since Ford took over in 1999 the Volvo brand has suffered greatly in build quality + reliability. The old classics are true Volvo + beat Ford hands down! I still have my old 1990 740GLE, no rust + reliable as hell! Salty roads no problem! I've seen 3 year old Fords with rust on the doors, so THAT'S a fail in my opinion! :)

  • law enforcement still prefers the crown vic over that dodge junk anyday! nothing wrong with a ford, this is an ex cop car, this thing was beaten and abused daily, lets see any of your cars do that.

  • @NissanTy i agree if you get a dodge youre balljoints are fucked , the crown vic in my opinion is one of the moast durable car ford had made.

  • @windoes98se Replace the balljoints 1 time with Moogs and you'll never replace them again.

    you people are rediculous busting each manufacturers MAINTENCE things going bad, BALL JOINTS are a maintence item they should be replaced and greased at some point! They usually fail because people don't grease them

  • @windoes98se exactly, plus the 4.6 in them weren't really designed to run on propane as well

  • Ford is a wast of cash

    By a dodge and beer instead

  • Is that a car at WOT I hear at around 5:00 til the end of the video?

  • typical junk ford

  • ford= junk

    and it take all your money
