Thanks guys.

No. I went up there and looked at the intake and it appears fine. I'm guessing that it was actually the intake gasket that blew? It is a damn plastic intake so who really knows

'01 LS8 with 113k miles. Was running fine the last time I drove it. Went to start it and there was a loud bang and lots of smoke. Car was towed to dealership and they said that the intake was blown. What would cause this? I don't want to dump a grand into a new intake if there is something...

Ok, I'll leave it in park. Thx joegr.

Update! I came home from work today and the starter was laying underneath the car. Apparently hitting it with a hammer and applying pressure with a bottle jack won't work....but let it sit for 16 hours and it will fall off on it's own.:confused: I never did put it in neutral, but will when I...

It is in park. Would that matter? I don't have a hoist so it is on jack stands.

Yep, those are the bolts I have removed. I'm at a loss. ???

I have removed both bolts (the top one is a pita). It's like it is frozen to the tranny or something. I tried whacking it with a hammer with no luck. So then I put a bottle jack under it and figured that would break it loose, but it actually just started to lift the car.:confused: The tranny...

New development: Just for fun I tried turning on the heater this morning, and it is blowing 70* air. I'm really getting frustrated...

Cooling system is completely bled. I have 60* from the driver's side and 80* from the passenger side. Better, but still not what it should be. Where is the temp sensor on the passenger side? I guess I will check that next. Thanks, Hunter

Thanks guys. Its a 2001 v8...I am bleeding the cooling system right now. Thanks, Hunter

Thanks for the reply. I had it checked for leaks before I replaced the dccv. The shop said there were no leaks and evacuated and recharged just to make sure. They wanted $1000 to replace the dccv so I just did it myself. So...I have a charged system, new dccv, and it still isn't working...

Like the title says I am having a kid any day now and of course my ac has quit working. It blows 65 to 70* air out of the drivers side vents, and 90 to 95* air out of the passenger side vents. I had this problem over the winter with the heater and it was the dccv. Replacing it fixed the...

Either way it blows. I would say screw it and go without a/c, but I have my first child due in 3 weeks and he is gonna need some a/c when we go cruisin for hotties.

I replaced mine 8 months ago...and now its not working again! Is there someone besides motorcraft who makes this part? Thank, Hunter
