    '06 LS, 73K, Elite package - $4500

    Its in Dallas, and its my car. I would give an LVCer a discount if you want to tackle this challenge. Somebody who already has a spare motor could really make out like a bandit on this one! http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/2981167905.html

    Grinding noise from transmission area - SOLVED!

    I had a bad grinding noise coming from what seemed to be under the shifter. The noise was heard during acceleration, and when the car was in gear. It was a metallic grinding sound, not pretty at all. After reading a few posts on LVC, I suspected my torque converter (TC) had gone south. One...

    Unlocking of new ECU - advise?

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend! I have an '06 LS with 73K that I bought really cheap due to its being a flood car. Car is silver with tan leather, fully loaded. It looks great, and I couldn't otherwise afford a 2006 LS so I took a gamble on this one. I need to unlock a new ECU, and...

    2000 Sport 212K knocking motor - $1000

    Looked at a 2000 LS Sport this afternoon. Guy's asking $1000 OBO. Car has 212K. Motor has a bad timing chain that has caused it to jump the sprocket. In other words, the motor runs, but poorly because its not in time. There is a knocking from the passenger rear side of the engine. It does...

    LED front turn signals question

    I bought some amber dual-stage 3157 48 bulb LEDs off Feebay and installed in clear corner headlights. Looks killer but stays on "Bright" all the time, even though its a two-stage 3157 bulb. I wired in resistors, spliced between the ground and the "major" wire (turn signal), but still throws a...

    Where can I get this part for the front bumper cover?

    2001 LS Sport - I just noticed mine missing. See the hole where the part used to be? It could have fallen off I suppose, but I think it got taken off in a parking lot by someone. Does anyone have one of these for sale?

    OBDII Scanner software

    I recently bought a USB to OBDII adapter to hook my car to my pc. It came with some very basic free programs, but I'd like to know if anyone out there is a using better program they can recommend. I'd like real time sensor reading, Ford specific codes, etc if I can get it.

    Replaced secondary cam chain tensioner, now what???

    '01 V8 Sport Model - Bought the car last week with an engine issue. Determined it to be the secondary cam chain tensioner. Had the usual issues of knocking from right side of engine, rough idle, random misfire codes, bank one lean code, etc. Replaced the tensioner yesterday. Since the...

    Three features your LS has that you may not know about

    I bought an '01 V8 Sport last week and it came with the Lincoln factory VHS welcome video. Just for grins I popped it in the VCR (I knew I kept that old VCR for some reason!) and found about about some standard features I never knew the LS offered: 1. Speed-adjusted radio volume: Hold down...

    Yet another Gen 1 climate control problem/question

    I've been reading every post I can find here on Gen 1 climate control issues. So far this is what I think I know: * There is one a/c system that feeds both the passenger and driver sides * Each side has its own heating system, controlled by the DCCV valve * The system controls the temp on...

    Will Gen II OEM wheels fit on a Gen I?

    What does it cost to have a new engine installed?

    Theres a '00 V8 Ls here for sale cheap with a bent valve. There's also an '06 v8 for $500. Two questions: 1. Will an '06 v8 fit a '00 v8 Ls? 2. What should I expect to pay to have the engine swapped?

    Anyone have a good pair of rear struts to sell?

    I have a 2000 V8. My rear struts are about done fer. I thought I'd ask around here before I order some. I have an electric radiator fan with shroud off an '03 that I would trade straight up if interested.

    Odometer "correction" devices

    Saw a video on Youtube about this $500 eprom programmer that is sold for "odometer correction" which seems fishy. It supposedly can also reprogram your speedo for the installation of larger wheels, which I guess is a legit usage. Guy just hooked it up, punched in what he wanted the mileage...

    Anybody want an electric radiator fan?

    Fit '03 onward, but my understanding is it can be retrofitted to models with the hydraulic setup. PM me your offer if interested before I put it Ebay. I can send pics if needed.

    Tranny stuck in third gear - could this be electrical?

    Howdy fellas, There is an LS here being advertised as "stuck in third gear - transmission shop says likely a loose ground". Dash shows "E" where it should show what gear the car is in... Is it possible that a trans could get stuck in third gear from something as simple as a loose ground, or...

    Would someone mind running a Carfax on an 00' LS V8?

    I found one here that seems like the seller may be willing to deal but it looks like the front bumper cover may have been painted. Car shows 112k miles, a little rough cosmetically, but drives pretty nice. I rolled down all the windows and the right rear would not roll back up! That will get...
