    Dreaded Cooling System...

    As the new owner of a 2003 Lincoln LS V8, I've been doing LOTS of reading of current & past threads about the cooling system issues common to our cars. I bought the car 3 months ago with 130k from the 2nd owner. He had within the last few years replaced much of the cooling system (Degas, plastic...

    If shipping together it doesnt complicate things, I should probably should take that DCCV too - I'm sure I'll eventually need it.

    Never mind - the problem was with the operator NOT the device.

    Is that DSSV thing for the ventilation still available? Have to research a bit but pretty sure the 03 I drove home last night needs it.

    1st Gen V8 vs 2nd Gen V8

    Thanks again for the direction guys. Made the decision today to buy a 2003 LS V8. Driving Her home next Saturday. REALLY nice car - 120k miles, couldn't find a factory option She doesn't have, and She's had recent COP's, resonators removed, and all the plastic cooling pieces replaced (including...
