i like the back lights red as well, i was thinking about tinting my side markers instead of going with the clear ones, cause i think the clear ones would stick out like a sore thumb on it... as for the deck, i just picked it out and had the guy install it, if i would do it again tho i would have went with the flush mounted monitor cause they look more factory...

need lil info.

first issue...my brakes sqeek alll the time, annoying as hell,, took to dealer and they fixed it said the spacer or somethin was loose,, yet they are sqeeking again,, . any help?

second issue,, my check engine/emmitions light is on,,, noticed week ago,, car was idling and sounded sweet, and after couple days on highway runnin it to 90,, car idles ruff now. any help?

ohh and my 2 cents on gas mileage.. i was runnin 87 cheap gas and was gettin avrg 19.5 miles a gallon,, city was bout 17-18... other day i put in shell v93 and noticed a decline in miliege,, down to about 17,, and city 16-17

why would that happen?

itsnotmydaddys
July 21st, 2005, 09:33 PM
#1, ive had my pads and rotors replaced and still get loud squeaking, not sure why, ill find out saturday
#2. this happened to me, quikls told me to reset the computer, by unplugging the positive terminal for 30 minutes and itll go away, if it comes back then u have a problem. i did that and light is gone and never came back.
#3. this might be the cause of #2, never put anything lower that 91 in your ls. itll shake, rattle, and not roll. i did it once and got this pinging noise, then went to the top grade and it hasnt come back. spend the extra money now or youll be spending it at the lm dealer getting your ls fixed

I don't think K&N makes an intake system for the LS specifically. There may be one that might fit but at this time they don't make one. So, your only choice from the list above would be the KKM True-Rev Sport Induction Kit.

If I'm not mistaken the wood knobs for the 2000-2002 LS's are different than what is offered for the 2003 and up. Lincoln used the same wood grain pattern for the earlier years.

You should see around 10 HP increase with the KKM. Once you remove the factory air box you will pick up a little more noise under the hood at WOT (wide open throttle). It's not a deafening noise but it sure does sound good. It's a very controlled sound. My only caution is you will experience a decrease in gas milage not from installing the unit but from your right foot being extremely happy. :steering
