    Think I just rode in our LS for the last time today

    A buddy of mine is driving it through tuesday at which point his neighbor will be buying the car. I got promoted to TSgt last week and as a "gift" to myself, bought this: Sadly, I have no room for 5 cars and although I could make the payments, no want for a third car note. So, knowing the...

    Auto-Dim Rear View Mirror

    Our mirror went tango-uniform. Looking for a new one, and found one from a 01 LS with the compass in it. Would this work in our 2000 even though it didn't have the compass??

    The Wife Made Her Decision

    And I hate to say it, but the LS is on it's way out the door. :( As much as we both love the car and as phenemonal as it is, the higher mileage and frequency of which things have gone wrong just doesn't sit well with us. We love the car when it's running right, love everything about it...

    Fuel Injectors

    After conferring with Mac98SHO, I've come to the conclusion that it'd be a smart idea to just replace my injectors. Reason being that a: our gas mileage has taken a bit of a dip (remember the posts), b: a lot of times after parking the car we can get out and smell raw fuel, and c: the flooding...

    Help Me Out: No Start

    In relation to my other thread (That's It), I've done some tinkering today: Motor is cranking. Fuel pressure when cranking is 43-45 PSI. Car does NOT feel like it's getting any spark. The engine cranking is dead consistent with no fluctuations. Any ideas???

    That's it.

    We're getting rid of our Ls. I can't take the freaking nickel and diming anymore. I went out to the car today to start it and let it melt some snow off, and what happens?? The starter cranks the motor over twice then starts spinning freely. The motor isn't turning over at all but the starter...

    Dodged a Bullet

    Just got a call from the dealership. The overheating in the car was caused by a bad T-Stat, and the leaking was a cracked coolant resivoir. Unfortunately, the resivoir is a PITA to get to, so it's costing a pretty penny in labor to have that fixed. But, should be done today so hopefully all...

    GRRRRR........ZERO Heat

    Yup, absolutely no heat at all coming from the vents. It's been a slowly progressing problem and looks like it's finally come to a head. I'm assuming that the heater core is clogged, but want to check around to be sure. I'm going to have the cooling system open anyway as I aparrently have...

    03+ DVD Nav Faceplate

    Just wondering if anyone has used this in a 00-02 LS to install a Double Din stereo, and if so, what did you use to dye it??? I'm trying to figure out how to go about making it black without using a paint that is going to flake or something. It's already mounted to the head unit, and I just...

    Wheels

    What do you guys think of these. Their "what fits" reducer came up with these in the list for a 00 LS. I love them, wife hates them. http://www.wheelmax.com/product.asp?ProdId=9322

    Stereo Guys

    Question: Is it possible to run a Terk XM adapter and the Kenwood iPod adapter on the same head unit??? Trying to figure out if we're going to have to decide on one or the other or can have both.

    Snow Tires

    What's everyone using and how do you like them. We're going to be getting a set soon which is going to see full time use until probably April, so they would need to be good in dry as well as with active precip. Right now, we're looking at the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2 or the Dunlop Winter...

    Had to have her towed today......

    The wife was driving to work and the front right tire just came apart. The tires are Firestone Firehawk LH's. Let me tell you, after I got there, I was like "Holy crap!" I'm damn surprised that she kept control. That freaking thing came totally apart at the sidewall of all places. Complete...

    Ok, Guys Who've installed Double Din's

    Got a question. I finally got in a factory radio with a donor faceplate today, and I'm looking things over and think I hit a snag. The head unit I'm installing is a Kenwood DDX 8017 and looking at where I need to cut out the stock faceplate. The trim panel for the 8017 is what concerns...

    Kenwood DDX 7017 Install

    If you guys aren't familiar, it's a double din in-dash 6.5" screen dvd player. I've gotten one for my wife for Christmas. Referencing a previous thread where a user here installed a DDX 7015, I have some questions that you guys may be able to help me with: Where can I get a double din...

    How's this for a heating issue??

    I've noticed this the past couple of weeks with our 00 LS. The heat works, but only when you're physically pushing the gas pedal or if you've got it maxed out. If you let off the pedal the air goes cool. I have a feeling it's a vacuum related issue, but was wondering if anyone was familiar.

    Ok, so the Advance Trac amazed me today.

    You all know the snowstorm that hit the NE today. I was driving the LS in it this morning, right during the snow/sleet/ice storm. Mind you, we have 3/32 tread left on the rear tires as is. Had to shut the advance trac off a couple of times to play slip and slide to build enough steam to...

    Gas Mileage Drop

    This is odd........We installed a Magnaflow Cat-Back on the 00 LS8 back in September. Since then........our gas mileage has suffered instead of taken a slight rise. Before, the little display would calculate about 410-425 miles on a full tank. Now, it's down in the 360-385 range. Not a...
