How do I know what LS I have? I've seen ls 1, ls 8 and I think an ls x. What's the difference?
 
1999 to 2002 - Generation 1 - V8 or V6
2003 to 2006 - Generation 2 - V8 or V6 (2006 only had the V8)
 
ok here is goes newbie.
LS GEN 1 is from years 2000 to 2002 and have a sport/standard/LSE/MANUAL (v6 only)/v8 editions.

standard have no SST mode (manual shifting with a auto trans) and the ride is softer and it has chrome in the bumpers with 16 inch wheels they come in both v6 auto (also In manual transmission v6 only)/v8 auto.

in 2002 Lincoln came out with a LSE edition that had a unique front facia , side skirts, gunmetal rims, rear valance, rear spoiler, monochrome grill. they also came it with both v6 auto and v8 auto it did not come with the manual transmission.

GEN2 from 2003 to 2006 and have a sport/standard/LSE/NO MANUAL IT WAS DISCONTINUED/ULTIMATE v8 editions.

all of the v8 are sport editions and depending on the options and package tells you if you have a sport / LSE (2004 and 2005) and all 2006 are LSE minus the all red tail lamps
this is a standard sport model

the ultimate had chrome rims and thx nav and some other options

now this is a LSE or a 06 (06 had a new set of unique rims and the tail lights are the same as the regular LS)

all V6 are standard with the chrome on the bumpers and most with 16 inch rims

I knew I had a gen 2. 03 v8 sst. 17" chrome rims. None of your info answered my question. Although I do appreciate your response. Besides what generation, is there an ls1, ls2, ls3......etc. I was told by a buddy it goes by engine size. Higher the number larger the engine. I have a 3.9 and that's barely a v8 so I'm assuming I have an ls1 gen 2. Idk if I'm making sense or if he even knows what he's talking about.
 
no such thing as a ls1 ls2 , those are engines that chevy makes , 3.9 is the biggest engine on the ls , if you have a 2003 and up its a gen 2 ls anything lower its a gen 1
 
That answers my question. My buddy is a turd. He has a suped tiburon and thinks hes a car genius. Anyways I wonder what it meant when someone on a different thread said he ran into a twin ls8. Did he mean v8 maybe?
 
we guys sometimes shorten Ls V8 to just LS8 , this one dude put a ls1 engine in a ls and he called a LS1 v8
 
Gotcha. Yeah I'm a newbie to the ls for sure. Ever since I got it I haven't been able to dig into it being so damn cold. I've got no motivation. I was reading the manual earlier and I'll be a pro in no time with that and this forum.
 
im still a newbie on it haha , so what year is yours and engine size ?
 
It's an 03. V8. Fully loaded package. Heated/cooled seats (front and back) dual climate, black leather, black exterior. Love it.
 
niceeee black is the best , i would probably black it out completely , which I am gonna do but I got to dip my car satin black first
 
I love black on black. I will be trading/selling my chrome for black. I'm doing an interior red led switch conversion and plasti dipping my wood trim red along with the center dash around my stereo down to the shifter red. It's gonna be a sick little project when it's done.
 
I'll post some pics when I get it cleaned. It's all snowy and dirty right now.
 
awesome , good luck on the mods , might wanna throw in a cold air intake , sounds bad ass with one , oh and some hids
 
What kind of cold air intake do you suggest? I have no experience in mods under the hood. I'm an audio/electrical nut.
 
i have a custom one , but everyone goes with the kn 57 2562 runs about 200 even , its mean trust me
 
5000k hids , 5000k led high beams , 3000k fogs , and custom intake

I should have specified that better. No cooled rear. And like I've said before I don't know much about engines. I know Pontiac has the 3800 before It jumps to v8 in the grand prix gpx. 3800 to a 3.9 doesn't seem like much more.
 
A 4bt Cummins diesel is a 3.9 liter 4 cylinder. The liters have nothing to with the number of cylinders....fyi
 
a 4.0 ranger is a larger V6...






and as far as engines, if its not a LSx or an LS9 (ZR1) then its just garbage...

lol j/k, I wouldn't mind a LS7 (Z06) or an LSa (CTS-v or ZL-1) in my LS!


I would probably even settle for a LS3...
