    Sad day, but maybe a silver lining.

    So the day has come where I have to give up on my triple black LS Sport. It has 192k miles on her, and honestly hasn't ran in over a year. Computer went paws up, but the motor and transmission were fine up to that point. At 10k mile full synthetic oil changes, it would burn 1.5 qt in that...

    permanent heat...

    Augh... I just changed the plastic housing that runs from behind the thermostat housing to the center of the block, had a nice long crack in it for a while... could never find the leak. Had to take it apart twice to replace the big o-ring the second time because I didn't replace it initially...

    Addition of the park assist

    Okay, I beat up the search function, and came back empty handed... Anyone ever try to add the factory park assist to their 06 LS when it didn't have it? I'm looking at a car that doesn't have it and wondering how tough it would actually be to add the factory system, or go aftermarket, or just...

    Number of questions...

    Hey Gang... haven't been on here in a long while. Got a couple of questions to ask: Will 16 inch 2000 LS rims fit a 2006 LS? I don't know if they changed backspacing... Does anyone have a scan of the 2006 model year LS brochure? I have through 05, and either lost or never got the 06 one...

    Corroded A/C Line on passenger side

    Hey gang... it's been a while since I've been on here... Car's been pretty good to me with 120k on the clock. Discovered my AC doesn't work anymore. Didn't think too much of it, figured some probably leaked out over time. Well after sending two bottles of 134a into it I found the problem...

    Wow... somebody else figured it out too

    All we need to do now is get Ford to get their Chit together and follow suit... http://yahoo.businessweek.com/innovate/content/dec2005/id20051205_915995.htm Seems the serious trend is to go back to rear drive, Gee who would have guessed?

    Hey gang... been a while since I've been on here, cars been behaving well since I replaced the back brakes, and the caliper "hangers" or whatever you call that $56 mistake Ford made... anyway... I keep getting a check advance track message, at random times, but it won't hold a code. I blip...

    Sythetic Tranny fluid?

    Has anybody switched to sythetic tranny fluid yet? I looked at mobil 1's tranny fluid, but I can't see anywhere where it meets the Mercon V rating. I have a hard time believing it doesn't, but... Red Line does, but at like 10 bucks a quart, that's a little steep to swap out 13 or 15 quarts or...

    Transmission question...

    How well does the 5 speed automatic run behind the 4 cam 4.6? I have an LS with the 5 speed in it, and basically, I'm happy with how it runs. My thought was down the road to pick up a marauder or crown vic and stuff the 5 speed behind the 4 cammer and see what I can break... Any comments?

    Headlight cleaners...

    Just out of curiosity, but does anybody have a part number for the wiper squirter things on our hoods? I was thinking about making an M-type cold weather package for my LS. I was looking to mount a pair of fluid squirters on the bumper to clean the headlights when it's really crappy out. I have...

    How do you get the headliner out?

    How does the headliner of the 2000 LS come out? I discovered where the water on the passenger side of my car was coming from. The drain tube on the passenger front corner of the moon roof has come off somehow... I can see it, but have no idea how to get a old of it with a half inch gap between...

    Rear Tire Wear

    Does anybody have any information about rear tire wear for the 2000 LS? Both of my rear tires are worn pretty good at the center of the tire, with the edges being so so. I do know that over inflation will cause this, and is probably the answer. However my local tire shop claims to have seen...

    Rain activated windsheild wipers

    I have looked over the other posts and haven't found anything on this. How much rain does it take for this to kick in. I have the wipers on, set for auto operation, but it doesn't work. I hit it with a hose right on the sensor and it still didn't work. At night you can kinda see a faint orange...

    Cooled Seats in '04 and '03?

    Does anybody know how these new cooled seats work on the newer LS's? Someone said they duct the SC to the seats, but that doesn't sound very likey. Has anybody actually looked at one of these yet? I guess the question is, could it be installed in an older model? Kleetus '00 LS V8 Sport

    Coil Pack Malfunction Questions

    I have a question on the coil pack issue. I guess first off is possibly seeing a few bad ones at 57k on a '00 common, (I won't say normal because I know it's not good). Is Ford or Lincoln covering these after the fact? I see to be seeing a common thread of people all over the place talking about...

    Unheated Heated seat?

    I have a '00 LS V8 and my heated seat doesn't seem to heat. I just purchased the car, so I'm still trying to figure out where everything's at yet. Is this common? Passenger side seat heats, or at least that's what everyone tells me when they are franticly trying to shut it off or climb out of...
