So far, things are quite cool. Went out this morning with infrared thermometer and the temp out of all four vents in the dash was 38 after a couple minutes run time. This was with the car in the shade, outside temp about 72 and inside temp knocked down to 60. Got the tires rotated, aired up...

I heard hissing when I first turned it on, but it is not constantly cycling on/off like it was. I haven't noticed any hissing while driving, but it may be drowned out. I wouldn't notice as much while I was driving before it was fixed, probably because of road noise. I'll check tomorrow and see...

Took the LS in today to have the A/C looked at and found dye all over compressor, so had to replace it. Had the belt replaced on it, too. Cooling much better now and no hissing/whooshing constantly. Got a free oil change out of it, too, so that was a bonus. :) Thanks for everyone's input.

Thanks for your input everyone. I was leaning towards just going ahead and replacing everything now and saving myself an emergency. I figured if I was going to go in, I might as well replace the plugs and COP's while I am there. One shot and I'm done with all the major motor headache stuff. I...

Hello everyone. Just picked up a 2004 LS6 with 54,600 miles on it. It was my M-I-L's and is in great shape. I have read a lot on this forum and appreciate all the great info. I am a little concerned about the cooling system parts as I drive 85 miles round trip each day for work. There are...
