    Transmission vibration during shifting

    Hello, everyone. I have a 2004 LS with V8, with 116,000 miles. When the transmission shifts from 3rd to 4th and/or from 4th to 5th, there is a vibration as it does so. I bought the car in 2008, with 50,000 miles, and one of the first things I had done (at a dealership) was a change of...

    Irregular cabin fan speed

    Hello, all. I have a 2004 LS with 3.9L engine. When running the air conditioner, the fan speed changes radically, from off to high to medium and so forth; consists of random speed changes. Cabin air filter is new and visually everything under the hood looks ok. DCCV was replaced about 10 years...

    Is this ball joint install price unreasonable?

    Hello, all. I have an '04 V8 with 86k mi. Well, after noticing a clunk in the front end for a while, I suspected ball joints after a search of the forums. Took it to the dealer yesterday: verdict - yep, lower ball joints both sides. Their price for replacing both lower ones is $1320!!! And...

    1 hot brake, 3 cool ones

    After driving about 20 miles yesterday, when I got out of the car I noticed a bit of a burning brake smell. Sniffed around and noticed that the left rear wheel was a lot hotter than the other three. I think I read somewhere that Advance Trac works by applying the rear brakes as needed. So on...

    Where are all the carrier bearings?

    Hello all. A few months back, after reading a number of posts on the forum, I decided that a vibration that occurs at about 40 mph is because of the driveshaft carrier bearing. I checked with Max, who told me that they were backordered all over the place. So, I ordered one from the local...

    Looking for a carrier

    Thanks to the successful results that af62cobra got from changing the carrier bearing at the center of the driveshaft, I have decided to do the same in the hopes of ridding myself of a vibration between 40 and 50 mph. If that doesn't work, then I'll buy tires. Anyway, the problem now: the...

    Vibration: time for concern?

    Well, I have noticed this vibration for a while and can't figure it out: Drive the car after it's been sitting for a while and a vibration begins at about 40 mph and continues above that speed. But only for maybe 20 minutes. Then it's smooth at all speeds. The colder it is, the worse the...

    Brake scare

    Hello all. I have an '04 LSE, 67k miles. Was driving yesterday, no problems. Then, approaching an intersection I stepped on the brake pedal and it went almost all the way to the floor and there was no braking action.:eek: I said a few choice words, let off the pedal, tried again and it worked...

    Ignition coil warranty question

    Mine is an '04 with V8 with 58,000 miles. Well, on July 2 my wife and I were on the way out of town for vacation. Engine starts missing, and I know it's a coil, because I had the dealer replace #4 about 6 months earlier and I was familiar with the symptom. Anyway, I called the dealership from...

    Heater operation question

    Hello all. I have an 04 LS with V8, just bought it in Jan 08. Some questions about the heater operation. Here's the story; the heating system was doing strange things a few weeks back. Just a few examples: Practically no air flow to floor vents. It would eventually get warm, then get cold -...

    Vibration - oh, no

    Hello all. Just joined today and I have two questions about the LS I just bought: '04, V8, 50k mi. One question is about the heating system. Before I ask about that, I'll check the codes I've seen on some other threads. This post is about the drive train. Car rides smooth as can be at every...

    Just got an LS

    Hi everyone. Just bought an '04 LS with all the goodies and (probably unfortunately) 50,200 mi. Beautiful car no doubt, but... Well, I'll be posting some questions soon. Been lurking for a few days and I think this forum will be very helpful. Glad to be here. Ed
