Thats why i said im not even sure its possible with this car, but i have seen it done before. The flow rate drop would be so dramatic it wouldnt be able to cool the car. Low or zero flow can cause increased pressure and create leaks These Lincolns can at times seem to defy logic on how things...

This may sound dumb, but are you positive the belt routing is correct? You could be turning the water pump backwards (not even sure its possible to do but its worth asking IMO) My LS was eating belts, shredding them and throwing them, Multiple times and it never damaged anything (replaced...

The first & best thing you can do with that pennzoil is not buy it to begin with. IMO

This may be different with a Mod Motor, (and boost) but when i broke in the 347 in my Mustang, I went thru all the gears under acceleration (not real hard) and also let the engine drag itself down, while shifting down thru the gears and my rings were seated in no time, the constant pressure to...

Get an OBD2 Dongle and a cheap Android Tablet, then get Dash Command, its a scan tool along with live gauge readings that can be customized. The only down side i have found is having to pay $9.99 for each Year of Make, but it covers all Models of that Make I have the previous version of this...

I am getting ready to sell my 05 LS, and this is a mount made specifically for the Lincoln LS, these are high quality mounts made in Germany. The mount worked great for me till i switched to a newer iPhone and couldnt find a similar pass thru cradle, i did cut a hole in it to pass the iPhone 4...

Damn Joegr, did you think i was serious about freon? come on I read enough threads seeing people calling it freon and quickly being corrected, Humor buddy, even if it was bad, its humor. I spent 9 years in HVAC, I know about refrigerants. If you have arms that have any kind of muscles on them...

Ok I last drove the car in march, after installing 8 FoMoCo CoPs. About a week after that the car had begun shredding accessory belts, so i parked it after it ate 2, been sitting since. 2 weeks ago I installed a new tensioner and Idler pulley, belt shredding problem solved. Now when i removed...

They have to have some sort of clutched traction-loc (ford's terminology) dont they? My car never spins just 1 tire, if i hammer it, it lights up both rear tires with the Advance-Trac off. Power braking also leads to two black marks on the pavement. It's hard to see Ford Installing an Open-end...

Holy Mother Of God............. So I got the calipers off, the lower slide was seized up badly, like it sank with the titanic and ford went down and retrieved it for this LS. WD40 was useless, as well as a vice grip was useless, until i used a torch to heat the mounting bracket were the slide...

What about a junkyard tranny, to install and ship the car down the road? You net better cash off the deal and have money to put towards another car.

yeah vehicles vary so widely now, the system on older stangs used to just detect wheel spin to control power to the wheels. All these fancy systems, are certainly getting old quickly. The future car will get worse, im sure the next cars will use breath speed, and fart potentcy to control and...

Yeah if it freaks out like that it may very well be a sensor on the trans. I am almost positive that the wheel sensors only detect wheel spin.

Yeah, more is less right. Since these are exposed to the elements on the F150 i used dabs to help seal moisture out of sliding down the boots and into the business area of the coil, Maybe 1/100 of the tube was used past a dab to seal the plug. Its not like the coils are oozing grease lol.

Yeah, I know cheap tools usually end up costing more in the end, I am just hoping the LS is gone long before it ever needs rear pads again. :p I plan on selling my F150 this spring, then the Lincoln Shortly after. Maybe the $40 HF tool set would be best, it never hurts to have MORE tools lol
