Thanks guys. I ordered a used stalk from eBay

Been a few years since I've posted anything about my 2005 LS Sport. This week was the 13 year anniversary of my purchase. The car had 76,000 miles on it and now it sits at 131,000. Not bad for 13 years. I spent about $2,000 on it last summer having the cooling system replaced and lots of...

It's 24 right now, warming up to 30 later. I just filled the fluid a couple of weeks ago, so it should be stable.

Thanks guys. I'll try a little rubbing alcohol and see if that works.

I have new washer fluid, so it's not frozen. My passenger front rim is leaking air, so I need to take it off to get fixed. When I do that, I will get the VOM out and see if it's a power issue or the pump. Thanks guys!

Of course, when it's zero degrees outside, my windshield washer pump stopped working. The turn stalk is fine, wipers are being activated, just no noise from the washer pump. Is the pump located at the bottom of the tank? Seems to be an available item. I looked on the site and didn't find much...

I filled and bled the system last night. Working good now. I hope I don't have any leaks, but it is holding pressure. Watching the garage floor for any signs of drippage.

Sorry, EGR. I had just woke up. I was doing it with the nose up. i will give that a try. And speed or rpm doesn't make a difference. Eventually, I do get heat. And the temp sensors do work. Let me try bleeding it the correct way.

It's an '05 with the V-8. I learned my lesson with the PCV valve, so I bought the Motorcraft DCCV. I did not replace the thermostat. Eventually, I do get heat, but it is well after the gauge shows it fully warmed up. It used to start blowing warm air long before the gauge was showing hot.

Replaced my DCCV valve in my car. Bled the system at least 5 times. Drove it home tonight with the temp gauge fully warmed up. Not a bit of heat. This is not going to work with living in the midwest. K

Had my son here last week, he's a better mechanic than dad now, lol. Got the DCCV replaced. That took care of my static in the sub-woofer channel also. Just need to bleed it a little more. Drivers side is fine. getting some cooler air from the passenger side still.

Wow, I just found this in another thread: I have had the DCCV effect both the amp and the parking brake, last time this happened both issues went away once a new DCCV was installed. This just started happening and guess what? My DCCV is bad and ready to replace it. I hope this fixes the issue.

I bought a long pair of needle nose pliers. I removed the upper hose. The line for the AC is still in the way. But I should be able to get it now.

Thanks Joe. I had some long nose pliers, but wouldn't reach it. I'll head to HF and try the long reach pliers. If that doesn't work, will order the tool.
