Group: About 18 months ago I had the classic DCCV valve problem of hot air coming out of the drivers vent and cool air coming out of the passenger side. I took it in and had the DCCV valve replaced and all was well until about a month ago when the same symptoms reoccured. I took it back in and...

It's an 04 V6. It will have 86,000 miles at the renewal time. Premium care with $50 deductible.

When I bought my LS 2.5 years ago, I purchased the ESP warranty from the dealer and it's been money well spent. My warranty will be running out soon, so I talked to them about renewing it. I got a quote from Lombard Ford down in Florida of around $1850 for a 2 year, 24,000 mile warranty. I took...

Yeah, I was looking for the FRD-pod/s unit as my original intention was to only hook up my ipod and stash it in the glove box. Adding the XM was an afterthought. My problem with XM isn't an install or equipment issue. It's all about compression. Some stations are better than others. I noticed...

Update Group: I spent the last six months looking for the P.I.E. unit with no luck. Everyone is sold out and backordered so I decided to go a different route. I went with the isimple tranzit that hardwires into the antennae and allows me to just plug in through the 3.5 output on my ipod. This...

A couple of months ago I put on a set of Goodyear Eagle GTs. So far I've been very happy with them. I needed an all season tire that wouldn't break the bank. The tread is very aggressive looking and it took a while to get used to, but I've learned to like the look. The ride is very similar to...

Like I said, the previous owner was in her 90's and the car was serviced faithfully by the dealer we both bought it from. I really don't think she was out drifting in it. When they dropped the pan, they found metal shavings in the oil. I was there. But yeah, you're right. The coils never fail...

Oh, I don't know, but judging by the amount of transmission threads you see on this board, and just a simple google search, I would say quite a few. Then again, every car I've researched to buy in the last 10 years has transmission issues. Seems to be the weakest component in modern cars. I'm...

Oops, here she is

First, a little history on my car. It's a 04 V6 that I bought 2 years ago off the lot from a Lincoln dealer. I'm the second owner, the first being a 95 year old woman who serviced the car religiously. It now has 77,000 miles on it, 30,000 by me. Last week, I'm on my 150 mile weekly commute when...

I just got home from visiting my brother in Florida who is a GM for a Cadillac dealer in Tampa. He gave me the keys to a CTS-V and said go have some fun. That, I did. What an incredible car. I've driven all the new Lincolns, and they are so far behind it's not even a competition any more. After...

That's a great DIY video. Any more where that came from?

When you are ready to make a move, I'd be interested in the pie connector. Thanks, Mark

Group: I've been on here for a while and thought I would go ahead and post a picture of my car since I got her all spring cleaned today. Nothin special about it besides the fact that it's an LS of course.

Group: I have an 04 LS with the SAT radio ready head unit and would like to get XM installed. I found this Terk unit on ebay and was wondering if anyone on the board has used this. Thanks in advance for any input...

Lol, I was going to include that one in my list, but I like it too much. When the new beetle came out, I was all set to get one since I've always had a VW in the garage. When I went to the car show to see it, and it had a vase, with a friggin flower in it, I almost threw up. What that car...

I like your new car. A lot of decent cars get branded as "chick" cars such as the Miata, the Audi TT, the Mini and even the new Fiat. OK, that Fiat makes me balls shrink just thinking about driving it, but the others are OK. It just shows that you are secure enough with yourself to drive what...

Looks good. Nice job on the repair. Nothing good ever happens at Walmart. I like your enthusiasm.

Those are beautiful and really fit the car nicely. Might have to look for some of those myself. Mark

Good choice on the 06, and great choice on buying the FORD warranty. I know it's expensive, but the peace of mind that it gives you is priceless. When mine is up, I'll renew it. When I pull into my Lincoln dealership for service, and they've got a brand new Lincoln running and waiting for me, I...
