Definitely saving these pics for future reference. 06 V8. This was pretty much all freeway to and from work, and it's the best I think I'll EVER see, mostly because I had to try *REALLY HARD* to not be a leadfoot this tank. I'm not good at that part. Took some major willpower. I'm curious if...

On the way home from work tonight, I stop to get gas. Go to start her up and she randomly has trouble starting, lights go dim, get messages "Check charging system" AND "check traction control", lose lights completely 3 blocks from home, funny whining noise as if it had low power steering fluid...

... Today battery is dead. Makes perfect sense. :/

Howdy all! Just noticed today a drip of coolant near the front end (not the damn reservoir, thank goodness...) and on the drive home, the vent air suddenly turned quite hot. Got it home, inspected under the hood and it appears to be coming from a little box to the left of the radiator with...

Recently did a quick 0-60 just for the heck of it, used D4 since that seems to take it to the redline, came out to be around 8.2 seconds average in an 06 V8. I know my car is getting up there in mileage, but that seems really terrible... Plus I have the K&N Typhoon CAI. Any tips for restoring...

Just out of morbid curiosity... I always see, "you have to replace ALL the COPs if one goes bad" and I'm just wondering why this is. :)

Just ran across a vid on Youtube of a nice LS with a nod to Torrie's custom tunes. Anyone know if he's still in this business? That's one mod I definitely need to do...

Just noticed a small coolant leak a few days ago. Fan runs a lot and fluid level is low, though thermostat needle is still stable. Also noticed these stains near the intake and was wondering if anyone had any guesses as to where the leak may be? It almost looks like it's right under the cap here...

Trying to replace the EGR assembly. Kind of stuck at the manifold tube. Do I have to take off the whole intake to get this thing off? I've never done that before and would rather not... Any tips?

So getting P0108 engine code, did a little research and looks like MAF or MAP sensor may be bad. Is this all one unit? I went and got a refurb MAF sensor, see if that works but if not, where is this mysterious MAP sensor located? 06 V8 Sport, btw. :) Gracias!

I installed a K&N Typhoon about a year ago with no trouble but now I have a check engine light and a p0104 code. My theory is that the new K&N filter may have had too much oil in it and that the sensor is just dirty. I'm hoping so at least, seems like the cheapest/easiest fix! :D So anyone...

Hey, looking for info on how hard it may be to open the dash by the center air vents where the 4 buttons sit that control the dash info. I tried searching first, promise! :P But I didn't have much luck since I don't know the official name of that panel or that button cluster. Anyway, went to...

So I recently replaced all my coils and plugs after a misfire issue started creeping up. Car has been running fine apart from a slight loss in power thanks to the Bosch +4 Platinum plugs I put in. Put in of course AFTER everyone here tells me they're crap in Fords. :P Today I get a check...

Howdy howdy! Well, after owning her for over a year now I'm finally getting the sputter with a cheery check engine light. Time to replace some coils and plugs I think. This is the first time I've done this on the LS, have done it before on my Mark VIII though. Pretty easy job on that car...

I would like to eventually put some Magnaflows on my car but I do have a question: I have an 06 Sport and I've read in more than one place that Ford really did a good job with the stock exhaust on the 2nd gens and a full kit really won't make much of a power difference. So is it worth blowing...

So on my way home from work last night around 10 p.m. I pull up to a late model Camaro SS, 99 to 02 generation. We exchange glares. He revs. It's on. Light turns green, I give a perfect launch and... He can't beat me. :D From 0-65 it was neck and neck. And this was BEFORE my typhoon...

Howdy! Installing K&N Typhoon today and have a problem. Apart from ending up with a few extra parts (I guess the T-Bird compartments differ after all) I'm stuck with a hose problem. In the instructions it says this vacuum line is rubber. It ain't. It's plastic. And it won't separate from the...

So I recently discovered that the mechanics garage where I work will do installations for employees for a small fee. So I REALLY want a Magnaflow setup now that I know I'll be saving like $700 in labor. However, they'll only do the labor, I must supply the parts. So where is a good place to...

Practically the only flaw with this car when I bought it in April is that the passenger side bumper has a crack in it. Looks like the previous owner smashed into something. Fog light is off center too. But the bumper has a nice crack in it that runs along the bottom, is this fixable at all? I...

Where the heck would I go to get one? :) Also, what kind of tuning should I ask for? I know nothing of this type of thing and am interested in souping up my ride.
