The shop will take out the valve body and inspect it for free, not only because of the business relationship them and my step-dad have, but to cover their ass, and try to maintain their reputation amongst the other repair shops in town. I didn't even ask if they have the diagnostic tool, or if...

I ran into the "no 4th gear" problem. My 2001 LS was acting up, and I knew it was associated with the transmission. 2 days later, the car wouldn't shift into 3rd, or so I thought. The car starts in second gear, correct? So, when I was thinking it wouldn't shift to 3rd, it would really be 4th...

The problem hasn't occurred since I have posted, so a week. I have a trunk leak, so i removed the battery, tray, ground wire, etc, put it aside, and sanded and painted the trunk. Since then, no problems at all. Loose connections, something where it shouldn't be, anything arcing causing a short...

I'm kind of baffled. After a long period of time, around 6-12 hours, my battery will be dead. I may open my door a couple times, but no more during that period. Something has to be drawing off the battery when the car is off. I just haven't figured it out yet. When I turn the key, it won't...

I'll have the shop take care of the Diff. Fluid. The thud is coming from the front, but all my studs are good. I am hoping my ball joints aren't in too bad of condition though. I don't want to have to replace those either. I don't know anywhere around town that would press them in for me. I'm...

I hate to say it, but I'm planning on getting rid of the LS. I love the car; it is great. However, with all the issues everybody has experienced, I am afraid one day the car is just going to break down for good. So here is my maintenance list before I try to sell it... 1. Sway Bar links and...

Thanks for the input guys. Maybe if I am lucky, I can use alchemy to turn the rust into gold, and have a gold plated trunk! haha So, skip the chemical process to prevent trapped cleaner that could possibly eat through. Just sand and scrape as much as I can. Use a rust primer, and then just...

My trunk is badly rusted. There are/were two leaks that caused this problem. One was under the lid, an edge wasn't completely flattened down, so I applied some silicone in the gap, and now it is fixed. The other is on the taillight, and that is getting fixed soon. Any ideas on that fix? What...

Don't be scared. I was at first, but it all went smoothly. I put the radio back in and everything works fine. Just go in with confidence! Hesitation is what causes errors. Along with other things. If you go in with a confident and focused mind, then you should be fine. Just don't rush it, and...

Maybe sleeve was the wrong word. Casing? the silver, grey, whatever color you wanna call it, casing around the CD player. Once you have your radio pulled out of the car, your Climate Control comes with it. They are attached to the same bracket. Take the radio out of the two brackets on either...

Mine had been jammed for a few months, I just didn't have the time to take it apart. Usually when one gets jammed, I can use a credit card and pry it up, then it will spit out. However this time, the CD tray had already gone down. You can take the gray sleeve off, there should be several star...

Is it just me or does it seem like they just have a black and white photo of our headlamps? There is no color in the reflection from the reflectors, and the clear corners don't look really clear, they look grey. Compare the clear corners from the top pics to the pic down below with the amber...

Well with my VCG replacement coming up in a few weeks, sunroof needs repair, need a replacement E-Brake bracket and boot, and need to finish painting the interior trim. Maybe? lol Unless someone in the area wants to do my trim for me? :D

One thing with LEDs is there are so many types it is crazy. I partake in saltwater aquariums and the light requirements for many of the organisms is rediculous. Recently people have ventured into LEDs. With the high power LEDs, aquarist can use 15-20 high power LEDs rated at 1 watt a piece and...

Im up in Lafayette.

A couple questions here. I have a 2001 V8. It has the 6 disc changer in the dash. I don't have rear deck speakers though. Is there wires running from my harness to the rear deck for easy install of the speakers? Also, where can I get the dash kit to mount a stereo and a harness at?

In the past two days, my car has overheated twice. I have never had this problem before. Car: 2001 Lincoln LS V8 Symptoms: After about 5 minutes of driving, my thermostat will skyrocket, and the annoying beeping begins. The dash display says "CHECK ENGINE TEMPERATURE" "ENGINE POWER...
