    My Rides

    I have a 2000 ls 3.9 I bought a few years back with 100k miles. I've done timing chain tensioners (uppers only) that I thought was a rod knock or spun bearing but an easy fix, water pump, brakes, coil packs, alternator a real bitch, valve cover gaskets, clockspring, tierods, bushings, ball...

    My Car Is [Still] Broken. Please Help!

    2001 LS 3.9 ok to change just the bad tensioner

    I had a problem with my 2000 ls 3.9. Sounded like a rod knock but it was upper passenger side tensioner, a really easy fix. You just have to partially lift out one cam. I always use a 2 foot section of wooden broom handle that I put up to my ear and move other end along engine to find out...
