I've had my '03 LS8 for about 10 years, and it has 219,000 miles. It needs an AC compressor, sets lean codes when it gets cold out, and the trans shifts 3rd and 4th hard because of PCM damage caused by misfires. But overall it's been a good car. Today on the trans lost third gear, and with that...

How long does it typically take to pull the intake on a second generation 3.9 v8? I think I have a vacuum leak and have bought the o-rings off ebay to seal the lower to upper.

Anybody experience intake vacuum leaks on a LS8? My car has a strange surging cold idle when it's below 25F outside. It's better now that it's warmer outside. It's also occasionally set lean codes. I smoked the intake while the car was cold, and found a small leak between the upper and lower...

My '03 LS8 is shifting funny again. The damn COP's have ruined the PCM for a second time. The PCM is $700 and is on backorder. Add the flash and new COP's and it'll be a $1500 repair on a $3000 car. With 210,000 miles on the car, it's no longer a car I trust on longer road trips. It's time to...

It's not that warm here yet, but when the A/C is on there's an intermitent whooshing sound in the dash. It did this last year before I recharged the A/C on my '03 LS8. I've never heard A/C make this sound. Anybody else notice this?

My '03 LS8 broke the hose that goes to the valve cover from the rubber portion of the intake. I'm looking to replace that section. Anybody parting a second gen V8?

The clunk has been driving me crazy for a couple of years. I could find no loose parts after I've changed (wheel bearings, lower ball joints, sway bar bushings, and sway bar links). I could hear the clunk hitting the curb on my driveway and over most small bumps. I began to suspect the rack was...

My '03 LS8 doesn't wear the tires evenly. It tends to wear out the inside edges on all four tires. The alignment was close, but I had redone this morning for $90. The shop said there's no camber adjustment on these cars. Do your tires wear similarly?

I changed the fan on my '03 LS8 and thought it kind of sucked, but the radiator is a huge PITA!!! There is soo much stuff packed in there, and lots of the screws are hard to get to, and there's little room to pull the radiator out. There is just no room, and the radiator had mounts hanging of of...

Our '03 LS8 has a newer issue. Sometimes after a cold start. It won't rev. My wife thought the trans was having issues (it was replaced 6 months ago along with the ECM), as it wouldn't move. After a few seconds, it did/does. I started playing with it and figured out it won't rev as you give it...

One of my front speakers is blown thanks to my daughter listening to dubstep. I think I just want to refoam it. Anybody know the actual size of the front door speakers or even what foam I need to order?

I just did the rear brakes on my '03 LS8. For the second time, I had to grind the ends where they contact the caliper mount. Both times it was Advance Auto Parts pads, and they wouldn't fit otherwise. It's almost like the pads were measured for a mount that didn't have the stainless shims on the...

I'm having small coil on plug issues again. In my experience it's the boots that fail more than the actual coils do. 90% of the time the car's misfire can be fixed by installing a new boot and new spark plug. I'm getting ready to do this again, but I'm going to add a little more insulation to...

It appears that the aluminum line that runs from the bottom of the surge tank to the passenger side of the car is leaking at the crimp on the passenger side of the car on my '03 3.9 LS. It looks almost impossible to change without dropping the engine. I may just run hose. Anybody have to change...

Anybody have any tips on doing this? I've searched and found little to nothing. I have little heat at idle or with the fan on high at cruise. It gets a little warm at cruise. I've bleed it properly three times and ran the self-diagnostic on the control unit. After idling 20 minutes there was...

My '03 needs a windshield. What's it going to cost? I'm in NWI near in Chicago. Any shop recommendation?

My '03 LS8 needs the driver rear toe link replaced on the left rear wheel. Jaguar calls it a stabilizing link, it looks the same as my LS's in pictures. I know shocks don't directly interchange, but some of the suspension says Jaguar right on it. The reason I'm asking is that Ford's part is on...

The left front factory HID on my '03 is malfunctioning. The light is purple at startup, will get to the normal color after a few minutes, but sometimes goes out until the car is restarted. Is it the bulb or balast? How do you figure out which needs replaced?

Has anyone ever had this one come on? It's a steering wheel with an exclamation point above it. It's on the upper right or left side of the cluster. I stole the bulb out of it for my engine light. The engine light burned out, and I stole the PS light. The bulbs list for $7.50 ea, but my dealer...
