So I have plans to put a real CAI on my LS. This is all the result of a couple hours of mental gymnastics when I couldn't sleep last night but so far things are looking good. I'll be updating this thread/post as things progress in order to make sure anyone following after me has the correct...

I'm looking at re-doing the interior of my LS. From the factory it came with Camel colored tan/beige. Wondering if something like the Dark Stone/Grey would look good with a Silver LS. Maybe even black colored interior. Not sure what all interior colors came on Gen2 LS but it does make me wonder...

The OEM Ford part number is 6W4Z-5B551-AA for Gen2 and 1W4Z-5B551-AA for Gen1. They are the same part but Ford decided to make it fun and gave the Gen2 a new number. Fordparts.com has them for $200/ea and will deliver them to your local dealer or ship to your home Tascaparts.com...

I ordered a 6-pack of bare COP connectors for $26 with free shipping. They include the gasket seal and the pin lock like the OEM COP conenctors. The best part is the pins out of the OEM plug will work in these with no issue. 1 x Ford Ignition Coil Connector Triton F-150 Cobra Mustang Pigtails...

So the only parts of my AC system I'm likely NOT going to get into is the evaporator line that goes behind the engine, and maybe (hopefully) the TXV/Evaporator. I'm replacing the AC Compressor, Condenser, Receiver/Drier, and likely flushing and rebuilding the Compressor and Condenser lines. The...

Ford (or motorcraft) wants $25 for the high side and $17 for the low side schrader valves for the AC fill ports. That certainly seems a little rich to me. Anyone ever had any problems with the aftermarket valves? Pretty sure I've still got the OEM lines on my car so figured I might as well...

Just did the valve cover gaskets and the passengers side timing chain tensioner wasn't tight against the chain like the drivers side was. The drivers side was taught and I couldn't move the chain at all, but I could move the drivers side about 1/8" or so away from the tensioner. So, should I...

So the passengers side valve cover gasket leaks around the spark plugs, resulting in the familiar oil-soaked fouled plug and killing the coils. Nothing new. I got it replaced yesterday and I'm debating just leaving the drivers side alone. All those plugs came out pristine and there's a TON of...

My LS owes me nothing, but I might finally be jumping ship and getting a SHO. If I do I'll see if anyone wants some of my parts stock.

Long story short the computer thinks #5 and #7 are misfiring so I started to replace all coils/plugs and call it a day. Popped #3 and #4 out and found some nice baked-on syrupy oil (think cold pancake syrup thick). So, guess I get to do valve cover gaskets too! YAY! Anyone have any general...

Mine needs some work. It's been dragged along too many driveways and caught one too many parking lot bumpers that it needs to come off. Since I don't exactly want to buy a bumper while I replace what's broken and repaint mine, has anyone ever had any issues driving around without a front...

So the old turn signal switch in my 2006 is bad and I ordered a new one. I ordered a Motorcraft SW6013 which is the turn signal switch without automatic wipers. Now on the old one the wiper control was just one big plastic knob at the end. Push it in for a wipe or hold for wipe and clean...

The issue I am having is I replace the bulb, it rains, and a little bit later (10-30 minutes) the bulb pops. First time around I thought it was a defective bulb so I replaced it again. A couple weeks go by and today I am driving it in the rain and it pops again. Only seems to do it in a heavy...

Had a machine shop rebuild two rear knuckles with SKF GRW186 wheel bearings. Both hubs have play in them that allows the wheel to wiggle when bolted on. While it is likely that the machine shop that did the work messed them both up, I find it more likely the bearings were bad considering both...

Does anyone know what size it is? M20x1.5? Any recommendations on who would have one sitting on the shelf if it's an oddball? Replacing the rear spindles and the axle nut is on national back-order from Ford. From every thread I can find the OEM axle nut basically destroys itself upon...

In case anyone was wondering. No scrub front or back and fits fine. They will be slightly under compared to OE size so 70 MPH will be more like 65. But otherwise all good. The under-size also gives the same effect as if you switched to 3.73 rear gears with the stock tire size and 17" rims...

I'm curious if anyone has tried any of the control arm bushings on ebay with success.

I need to rebuild the suspension. Rear control arms by themselves would be in the $800 ball park. Then I found this via the facebook group: http://huntsville.craigslist.org/pts/5088347630.html Think it's better to roll the dice on the above, or just buy new arms? I emailed the guy and...

I'm finally overhauling the suspension in my car. Ordered a set of AC Delco Professional front lower control arms for $212/ea off of amazon. Also using a Raybestos Professional wheel hub and ball joint with motorcraft upper control arms. Moog has been kind of a disappointment in the last...
