I'm located in Holland, MI 49424. The bushings are for 2nd gen, so they are for the thicker sway bar (Sport). PM's have been replied to. God bless

Hey guys. I watched my LS get driven away last night. Got $4500 cash, and though I had over twice that amount into it, I really didn't see myself getting a better offer. I plan to get an '06 someday in the future, but as of right now, my wife and kids are my priorities. On to the...

Yeah, I believe from '03 and up the triton was used. However, I have seen an '04 with what appears to have a different engine than mine. It had been totalled and has been sitting in a driveway near my sister in laws house. I pulled the passenger side running board, center console, mirror, door...

First off I'd just like to thank everyone in this great community for all of the help and education you've provided me with to make my Lincoln LS experience nothing but the absolute best. Regretfully, I've put my LS up for sale. Even worse, I've had my phone blowing up over it. So it's safe...

Well she's all bled out and fixed. Took her for a 45 min drive. No leaks, no overheating etc. I was using my Torque app and Bluetooth obd2 device to watch live data. The temp reached 216F at the highest, and that was when I had it parked idling for a good 10min. Is that abnormally hot? The temp...

And I'm really hoping the leak is fixed because I have to pull the front cover off the navigator to change the chains, guides, tensioners, and seals. It has significant timing chain slap/drag for the first 2 seconds on startup. It doesn't make any noise while running or while a warm startup. I'm...

Everything's installed and back together. Just finished bleeding. Waiting for it to cool now. Bleed procedure went well. No leaks. Except for the water leak from the AC condensor that had me freaking out until I tasted it (Rig (; ). Will update once I take her out for a hell ride.

All my new parts and seals came in yesterday. Plan on getting this all back together today. Hey Joe can you link me the torque specs on the cooling plastics and intake manifold torque specs and sequence? I know it's listed in my latest threads section but it's burried and will take me forever to...

Normally I'd remove together as a whole assembly, but I had bought a 12 pack and figured I'd take some extra time. Unfortunately it seems I'm going to have to do quite a bit of sanding to get the permatex tack seal off my housing and engine block. When I removed the 94N99 elbow I did find a...

I replaced the radiator with a Spectra last fall. As for that unknown leak, it was dripping down which led me to investigate there. However when I pulled that black rubber seal plug, it was dry behind it. So I suppose it's possible that coolant could have caught wind flow while driving and made...

Might be because I'm just frustrated and forgetting something, but I can't get my degas reservoir to drain. I've opened the radiator pet cock, disconnected the lower radiator hose, and removed degas and engine fill caps. Is it not supposed to drain?

Yeah I definitely know the drill with the cooling plastics, really hoping it's just the O ring seal where 9N499 sits in the top of the engine block valley. If it ends up being the water pump, no big deal either. However as to the rear leak I really hope you're correct on it being coolant that...

So I dropped my wife off at her moms today and headed home to clean up the car. When I got finished with the inside, I was about to start on the outside when I noticed some puddles. I have coolant leaking from near the 9N499 elbow, but am yet to discover if it's from the elbow seal or if...

Even a virgin LS 3.9 with no issues whatsoever will get relatively poor gas mileage (depending on your definition of "poor"). I have new plugs, good cops, new fuel filter etc. And I only get 14.Xmpg city and maybe 20-23mpg highway.

I use a dvc 2 ohm type R 12" and I have it wired 1ohm to a hifonics zeus 1500 class D amp. As for the box I use a ported Q bomb with specs just slightly larger than what's recommended by Alpine. Running approxinately 1k rms set via multimeter, however I retuned it lower to ~600rms because the...
