You're running the rpm's at 2000 for 5 minutes? The other option is to call around to different mechanic shops and find one that has a Snap-On bleeder machine, after replacing every coolant part on my 2002 V8 LSE I had to have a Ford Quick Lane shop bleed it with the Snap-On bleeder machine I...

Pour the coolant in super slow otherwise you'll get even more air in the cooling system

You have to do it perfectly by the book and I suggest if you can't get it bled by the procedure you should have a Snap-On diagnostics system bleed it at a shop that has it

Remove the engine fill cap. Open the heater air bleed. Add coolant to the degas bottle allowing the system to equalize until no more coolant can be added. Install the degas bottle cap. CAUTION: Care must be taken to make sure the accessory drive belt does not become contaminated...

I replaced the Motorcraft plastic waterpumps in all my LS's with the metal propellers the plastic propellers are a bit sketchy

I suggest if your having health problems you stay away from the LS due to the fact if you can't work on the car yourself most Mechanics don't know much as about these cars, Toyota, Honda, or if looking for a Fast rear- wheel drive car Mustang would be a better choice...just being honest

So your LS is in the shop? What was the estimate you were given?

My apologies I didn't read this post...Joe is right you most likely have to change out ALL coolant components...unfortunately your hydraulic fan actuator is blocked up preventing the hydraulic fan pump to work properly...you can remove the actuator and clean it with electrical cleaner or WD40...

My daily driver is a 2002 V8 LSE you have the hydraulic cooling fan system components...Question? Does the fan kick up higher when you turn the AC on? Question? Does your AC work and get nice and cold?

Those toe link bushings from what I can see from the pic are chewed to pieces

Agree
