Sold her. Sad day, but I have to move on.

I swear, I am always a day (or a couple months) late and a dollar short. I listed her here first, hoping to find someone on the list that might be interested. Now I am going to have to put it up on Craigslist with 24 photos and a full three paragraph explanation and have to deal this all the...

I bought it back in 2013 for $10K and took out a loan to pay for it, so it's not a quick flip or for profit. Its just that things changed rapidly for me in the last 8-9 months, both personal and professionally. I ended up needing a larger SUV for both pulling a trailer(s), plus I needed a...

What is even funnier is that the 86.0mm bore and 85.0mm stroke works out to 3.950L Ford typically rounded up on their engine displace, but rounded down this time to make it appear less potent than the Jaguar 4.0L (3.996L) version of the same engine with the 86.0mm stroke. By the time the Gen...

Very cool findings. Can't see how or why there would be too many differences, if any really between the 4.0L AJ26/27 and the 3.9L AJ30/35 engine's short block's bearings. The 1mm difference in stroke (why the hell Ford did this God only know's - maybe the premium European brand had to have the...

I too bought a couple different service manuals hoping to discover the specifications for the 3.9L short block, but the official factory line for the short block was "pull and replace". I also found it odd that there was not a periodic maintenance procedure for checking and adjusting the...

Thought I would add mine to the list as well ;) For Sale - 2004 Lincoln LS V8 Sport only 59.1K miles! $5.9K OBO in Oh

Paid off the loan yesterday and posted the for sale listing today. For Sale - 2004 Lincoln LS V8 Sport only 59.1K miles! $5.9K OBO in Ohio

Working though the check list to get her ready for sale - replacing the front shocks. Since the factory Sport shocks are basically unobtanium (LS4me sold what might have been the last new complete set a few months ago) and I since I plan to list her for sale soon, I really did not want to sink...

I popped open the truck on my '04, removed three trim buttons (third one is for the truck net anchor) that holds the truck liner to the driver's side wall of the truck. I found two (2) 10mm hex nuts high up on the side of the side support structure. I felt around behind there and found the...

Ghaleon64, those numbers look similar to what I see when I drive my '04 V8 Sport from Cleveland to Indianapolis. I fill her up and then get on the freeway, set the cruise at 68-69 MPH and don't run the a/c - it is a flat run. I may have seen as high as 25.8 or 25.9 MPG on a similar run up to...

The ZF 6-spd should have been part of the Gen II upgrades.

There are basically only two grades of automotive gasoline that are refined - a so-called low octane and a so-called high octane. What is offered at the pump depends on the blending process and the Ethanol content. There are also specialty racing unleaded gasolines, but those are a completely...

I have a '04 V8 Sport and I occasionally get the message on the info center display, but after cycling the key it goes away. I have replaced the; DCCV, the spark plugs and COP as well as the battery. I believe the module is still the factory original. IIRC the '04 may have had an issue with...

Platinum Iridium and Rhodium are all used to make the alloy for the tips and ground straps for spark plugs. Its just like making beer or cookies, different amounts of each ingredient make an alloy with slightly different properties. Personally I prefer a fine wire construction with higher...

Good point, I missed that.

There is your KBB wholesale or trade-in value.

Thank you so very much for doing this. It really helps me to figure out what to ask for mine when I put it up for sale this later this spring. The dealerships wanted to give me next to nothing on the trade value when I bought my Durango, so I decided to keep the Lincoln and find her a new...

The issue is that the LS V8 DOHC engine uses a direct action camshaft lobe on a bucket (with shim) lifter. This arrangement is very similar as far as wear characteristics to the old flat tappet lifter on camshaft lobe used in most older OHV V8 engines. The greatly decreased amount of ZDDP...

Yes I heard about the change a couple months ago. I went to my local Wal-Mart, searched all the shelves and found the last two or three 5-quart jugs of the older Mobil 1 SL rated 5W-20 and 5W-30 High Mileage oil. Not sure what I will do after those are gone - may have to sell the car ;)
