    Low Mile 06 LS V8 in Bakersfield

    Not me, no relation to me, 100 miles from me. I've been out of the LS world for years, but this one is really super. 98k on the clock, hope an LS enthusiast can snap it up. https://bakersfield.craigslist.org/cto/d/bakersfield-2006-lincoln-ls-low-miles/7381881418.html

    Help with ABS, Traction Control and Brake dash lights

    '03 LS V8 with 148k miles, all mine and my son. Owned since new. I've done many fixes on her including the huge job startup rattle - cam timers plus chains plus tensioners. The only other time I got these dash lights was when the battery was going, so I pulled the battery and took it to...

    My Trans Issues Resolved

    Long while back my trans quit shifting properly. Took it to a recommended trans shop and they said 50/50 shot at the solenoid pack. Being a moron I took it and lost. What an idiot. Doing some serious web research showed my symptoms (won't upshift without an error, manually shifts OK but...

    Still Seeking Conclusion to Cold Start Rattle Isse

    My 03LSV8 still has the "rattle can" sound at cold startup, only for a few seconds, is all good otherwise. Scares women and small children but harmless otherwise. It's not on the front of the engine, it's not upper tensioners, it's not oil or filter choices, it's not the starter. I see all the...

    Worn Servo Bore Fix

    Mark gets the post of the year for me... Son of a b*tch! I've been looking for a solution just like this for a loooong time. My tranny shop mis-diagnosed the worn servo bore and threw a solenoid pack at it. Dude pissed me off so badly I wouldn't go back. Was thinking I'd go through it...

    Gen 1 Occasional Trans E

    My buddy is the original owner of an '02 LS V8 with 68,000 miles. He put almost all of his miles on surface streets in town. On the rare occasion he drives across town on the freeway, the exact same thing happens every time. Even though the engine runs without a miss (no coils YET) and the...

    '03 Window Regulator "before 7/03"

    Had the inevitable plastic fail on the passenger front window regulator at 133k miles and the Rock Auto site says the "from 7/14/03 build date" is WLR65 and is $75 while the "before 7/14/03" is WLR64 is $156. You guessed it my peach was built 6/03. Anyone else run into this? Seems odd since...

    Grille Switch and Swap

    Bought a cheap Gen1 eBay grille to be a placeholder while I did the Alax mesh treatment to my Gen2 grille. Turned out it was a POS that had been thickly painted with gray. So instead of bolting it on I used paint remover to get the heavy coat of paint off the chrome top portion. Then noticed the...

    '06 Drive train into an '03?

    So let's say I'm able to secure a nice low mileage '06 that's been totaled with a good low mileage engine and tranny from a credible ethical seller. Plug and play in my "troubled" but loved '03? Easier/quicker to drop entire front engine/suspension assy (as posted below by LVC member) or...

    Slight Occasional Miss at Idle

    As mentioned in the title the LS has started a slight occasional COP sounding miss at idle. Only at idle, off idle even a couple hundred RPM and there is no miss at all. Replaced the COPs at 90k mi and now at 124k mi. COP miss was more regular and at all RPMs. Any guesses? Going to a buddy's...

    Charging System FAIL

    I'd like to share my experience and ask your best guess. Yes, I've searched and found a few leads. Started my '03 V8 and it cranked fast and started normally. While warming up I notice it has a new front end whine, like a power steering whine (but the fluid is full.) Made a mental note to check...

    A/C Heater Blower Motor

    Coulndn't find anything in a search other than controller stuff. Anybody have the blower motor go out? The controller doesn't seem to be the issue, the motor tries to spin, labors, groans, emits a smell. Seems like the motor has a bad bearing or similar. What's it take to test/confirm and of...

    Bad Cats but passed CA smog

    I've had a CEL for a long while due to the "cats underperforming" code. I was told (incorrectly) that only OEM cats are legal in CA at $2k, so I held off. When I clear the CEL it will stay off for a day or two before it is triggered. Car seems to run just fine. It's like the calibration for the...

    Timing Chain Rattle at Startup

    I have exactly what this Jag owner describes. Anyone else do a secondary tensioner replacement in 2 hours? I see lots of "replace the whole shebang" 40 hours labor posts when I searched, but am thinking that is not in the cards right now. Thanks in advance...
