    Girlfriend + My LS + Garage Door

    She left it in gear and hopped out to open the garage door. LS 1, Garage Door 0. On a serious note, I'm not mad at her. Crap happens and that's why I have insurance which is taking good care of me. It's going to get the fender, hood, and bumper cover repainted. Some plastic pieces that I...

    Aftermarket Head Unit With Green Illumination

    Long ago my factory 6 cd changer jammed and I replaced it with a single DIN clarion head unit. My only complaint is that it is illuminated in blue. I had an older Clarion head unit in another car that you could choose the illumination color on and it was great for matching the car that it was...

    Rain Sensing Wipers

    Ive read all the threads about the dissatisfaction with the rain sensing wipers that never worked right. Mine used to work well but now it seems like the sensor isn't as sensitive. It used to work great even in drizzle. Now it seems like it takes a really hard rain to trip the sensor. I've hand...

    Has anyone else done this to their car?

    I stupidly did this with my floor jack a while back before I was really familiar with late model unibody cars. I had a Mustang II and 2 Jeep Cherokees before my LS and it's always been obvious on those where to put the jack. Well this is me trying to stay off the pinch weld. :( It didn't get...

    Plastic Fasteners

    Seems like these cars are held together with those push in plastic fasteners. Through years of disassembly and reassembly I have broken a few. Does anyone know if you can get these from Ford? I need the ones that hold the engine cover on and the ones that hold the plastic on the rocker panel...

    I have a bad (but cleanable) DCCV any interest?

    Last spring I replaced my DCCV because it was sticking open. I understand you can take them apart and clean them, but I went ahead and bought new one anyways because I didn't want to possibly have to do the job twice. I still have the old one and wanted to ask if there was any interest in it...

    Engine Fill Cap

    I replaced my DCCV today and in the process of bleeding the cooling system I cracked the plastic engine fill cap so it no longer holds pressure. It's been one thing after another on this project. Is this a part that the dealer can just get for me or do I have to buy the entire housing/neck...

    WTB: Set of 8 Motorcraft Coils and Plugs

    I just lost a coil and want to do all 8 while I have it apart. I also want to switch back to the factory spec plugs while I'm at it. I've seen kits on eBay with 8 brand new Motorcraft coils and 8 NGK plugs, but of course now that I need it they're aren't any up right now. Can anyone help me...

    Weird A/C issue

    I've read through all the threads that talk about DCCV failure and that might be part of my problem. I haven't read about anything quite like this though. First of all, my A/C seems like it doesn't blow as cold as it used to for the last couple of summers. If I get in the car after it's...

    Vibration Nightmare

    I've hemmed and hawed over this issue for a couple months. I've found a few threads on the subject but nothing conclusive for my situation. First a little history. I replaced my factory set of Michelins last September with a set of Dunlop Sport Signatures that I bought from tirerack.com...

    Operating Temperature

    What's the proper operating temperature for these motors (3.9)? I haven't been able to find a straight answer searching the forum. My car has been acting like it has a coil going bad for the last couple of months and I've been trying to encourage it to set a DTC by going down a hilly stretch...

    Stupid Question

    I've read the owners manual and searched the forums... Where's the best place to put a jack under an LS and once it's on the jack where do you put the jack stands? I've caved in what I thought was the jack point trying to get it high enough to get a jack stand under it... Thankfully it didn't...

    Third Brake Light Vibrating

    Anyone know how to keep the factory sub woofers from vibrating the third brake light? I been thinking about just removing it. Isn't there supposed to be a seal between it and the rear glass? I don't know what all happened to it when the previous owner had it tinted.

    The factory changer has jammed on me for the last time.

    My Alpine changer finally wheezed it's last breath after I have been flogging it with CD-R's for over a year. I have a wholesale connection for clarion equipment and got this CZ309. It's not top of the line by any standards, but it replaces the factory head unit very well. Sounds much better and...

    Magnaflow Kit Install

    I searched around a little bit and didn't find an answer so I'll just ask outright. Those of you that have installed the Magnaflow catback on your gen 1's, How easy was it to separate the factory H pipe from the cats when you got the claps off? Did you need a torch? If I'm going to end...

    Not a big deal, but...

    My car has been running great since I chased out all the ignition demons right after I bought it. I've always been a big fan of running the heater on the floor since heat rises it heats the whole car. I am noticing that when I have the HVAC on "floor" mode I still have quite a bit of air...

    Seriously Considering Exhaust Upgrade

    I have an 02 LS V8 that I'm thinking about getting exhaust on. For me August is one of the two months out of the year that I get an extra paycheck from just how the pay periods line up. I should easily be able to buy and exhaust setup for the amount of extra cash I'm looking at here. I...

    Door Sill Trim

    I have an 02 V8. I noticed that the door sill trim on my driver's door has come un-anchored where it snaps in. I was wondering if anyone knew how to completely remove it so I can re seat it. I've messed with it a little bit but didn't get too violent with it because I didn't want to break a...

    Bassani Exhaust

    I've done a little searching around and have come up empty handed. Anyone using Bassani mufflers? Got any sound clips or video? What size universal muffler did you use and what are the specs on the rest of the setup? A buddy of mine has a 99 Cobra with a Bassani setup on it and...
