The car has the typical problems, leaks oil and and leaking radiator fluid from the rear hose. The only reason I haven't sold the car for scrap metal is because I had the transmission rebuilt 3 years ago and it only has 10K miles on it. I was trying to get $1,000 for the whole car (which BTW has...

Saw this commercial on TV today. Has anyone seen it? Mission in Law: http://youtu.be/0bl8FGgYNTw

The LS has been out of commission since mid August. Since I bought the car in 2012, I have not been able to drive it for longer than 6 or 8 months before it needed to sit up again because something needed to be repaired. The previous time was because it needed tires I couldn't afford at the time...

As we were about to start loading the truck to move to a new house this weekend, guess what decided to go in the driver door? Well, luckily I've read enough on this forum to know this was coming. I was in a bit of a hurry, so I ended up paying $185.93 + tax at the local Ford dealership for a...

2005 Navigator It's even worse now. When this problem started, the temp had to be below freezing before my suspension wouldn't work. I mean in the low 20's or lower. A year later, anything below 50 degrees. This year it's anything below 60 causes trouble. I wish Ford could have built these...

I tried searching for this, but not knowing what the thing is called makes it difficult. Last night the light in the center of the dash was flashing while I was driving the car. It would flash once, then followed by 6 flashes. It alternated the two for about 3 minutes. Does anyone know what this...

How To Install Switch-Back LED Bulbs Yes, I know this is a repost. But as many people have tried to do this, I believe it deserved its own post. Switch-Back LED bulbs are signal/park combo bulbs designed to replace the factory incandescent bulbs. When the park lights are on, switchback bulbs...

Has anyone ever used these on a car? I'm assuming they should fit the LS. I'm all for things that make stealing parts from my car more difficult. The pros seem pretty obvious. Does anyone know the cons to using a set of these? McGard 65557CN Chrome SplineDrive Wheel Installation Kit (M12...

Has anyone verified if the K&N (or any of the "cold-air" intakes) actually make a performance gain on our cars? I'm considering buying one over the next couple of days. I was wondering a few things: 1. Is the 57-2562 the intake that actually fits the LS? 2. Does it offer any advantage over...

For those of you who are annoyed Ford does not have their vehicles unlock when you turn the key off, you can use the following circuit to add the feature. It requires two relays and a capacitor... I would guess about a 2000µf 16v cap would do it. This would cause an undesirable effect if you...

I'm just going to get this out of the way and say it. I'm not doing the interior lights. I prefer the factory look on the interior. After all, its a family vehicle first... So with that said. I just received my shipment from DDM. In my upgrade I'll be doing the headlights (factory HID to...

Got my new plate in today. It matches the one on my Navigator. Also, I didn't like the factory plate holder, so I took it off and installed this aftermarket holder. It looks great, though I will have to add a support to the back to keep it from vibrating while driving down the road. The...

So far, I've done ALL the work done to my car since I bought it back in February. Today I was finally beat by what should have been a simple job... Replacing the Door Lock Actuators so my power locks on the driver front and rear doors will work. I was able to disconnect the wiring and unbolt the...

I've only judged by looks, but is it possible to swap the LS badge on the fenders and add it to a 2nd gen car? If so, is anyone interested in doing a trade on a black LS? I know most of you prefer to remove badges instead of add them, but in this case I feel it would add a touch of class to it.

This week the remote start alarm will be installed on the LS. It unfortunately brings up an issue when dealing with the fogs. They flash with the park lights (as alarms do not use the signal circuit). That meas its time again for RELAY FUN!!! Ok, its not really that much fun. lol But not only...

Yesterday after fixing my LS, I took it to have the safety inspection done. It barely passed because the tires need to be replaced. I've read many complaints about the stock tire Ford chose. Typically Michelins are great tires, but that partically one is not liked by many. The tires I've chosen...

With all the mods I see on this forum, there is one I see a serious lack of. Why is it I don't see cars with the Jaguar Supercharger? I've seen a few blown cars on here, but considering there is a car that had what should be be nearly a bolt on part, I don't see much spoken of it. I just did...

So after the LS sat for 4 weeks. I decided to start her up again today to see if I could easily repeat the overheating that made me park it in the first place... After running about 20 minutes this happened. I ordered the replacement thermostat and a new gasket today. The fan ran like crazy, but...

I didn't think this would be hard to find, but it appears most of you replacing thermostats have gen I. What is the temp spec of the gen II thermostat? I've seen them being sold with the temp all over the place, but I'm not sure which one to purchase.

Does anyone know what the part, labeled by the yellow and green arrow, is called? It's one of the reasons I think my LS has been in a wreck. The one on the driver side has been pulled off. The rear part of it is still on the car, and you can see where it clearly broke. I want to replace the...
