    Replaced my LS with a car

    Traded it off today. Got another car. I like it as it suits my needs better than the LS. Normally I would post and say thanks and disappear, but I think that BigRig wouldn't be able to handle it if I just quit posting. Instead, I'll kinda phase out. No worries though, I won't go...

    Possible key transponder workaround

    Seems like enough folks here have problems with their keys, needing to be married to the PCM, that I thought I'd start this thread. How exactly does the PCM recognize keys on this car? Is it an actual circuit or is the keylock measuring resistance on the key? If it's the latter, it might be...

    COPs, plugs and the Gap

    Thought I'd throw this out. I know the gap is .060 over on the plugs, and the COPs fail regularly. What are the thoughts on perhaps the factory gap is too large? It occurred to me that other cars, particularly higher compression vehicles and forced induction vehicles run smaller gaps. It's...

    Need a caliper tool

    I need to replace the rear brake pads on my LS, can anyone recommend a caliper windback tool I can use on this? Was going to hire the work out but I'm not paying 250 bucks to just replace rear pads. That's not even at the dealer either, but the local yokels. I did a search for the tool on the...

    Marginal coils flipping the PCM the bird

    Got to thinking about this, and was wondering. Does the RF interference ride up the wiring to the PCM via the trigger or is it actual emitted RF? If it's actual emitted RF, I wonder how a grounded metal shield between the PCM and the engine might prevent this little problem. Thoughts, anyone...

    Yet another tire opinion thread

    I read some of the tire threads, but they didn't address the specific tires I'm looking at. The Hankook Ventus I have on my LS are worn, getting loud and I suspect I may have either a flat spot or a bubble on one as I've picked up a thump at low speeds consistent with tire RPM. Along with...

    Moderators - received this email

    Hey there, I received this email wanting me to start posting their advertising to another website I frequent. They got my email address off my profile on that site. I guess the campaign all moderators wage against spamming boards has been effective, because now they are trying to get members...

    Rear window regulator problem

    2003 Lincoln LS I replaced the rear window regulator on the driver side a couple of months ago, and I thought everything went well. Now it seems, it didn't. The window only rolls down about halfway, but the motor keeps going. When I did the job I thought that the window attaching point was a...

    Careful with Rock Auto

    I ordered two new Moog wheel hubs for my 2003 LS. Long story short, they sent me one Moog, and one Pro Part in a Moog box, then gave me crap about how they are functionally the same so they don't see a problem. Told them that if they don't see a problem that after being a great customer for...

    Heated seat intermittent fail

    2003 LS V8 Not asking for advice this time, but am posting a possible thing to check. My passenger seat started failing intermittently last week. I pulled information off this board, and found the things to check, and I have one to add - the filters may not be dirty, but the screen on the...

    What's my color?

    This thread is aimed at touchup paints, both inside and out. It takes some effort to find the correct shade to match your vehicle, so a central place where they are all listed IMO would be helpful since all a member would then need to know is what his factory colors are to get the correct...

    OT? - Gauge face question

    I know a lot of folks here like to modify their gauges, but mostly it seems to be just changing the light bulbs to different colors. Has anyone here ever had a custom gauge overlay printed up, then removed the factory overlay and installed it? I'm looking for someone who is able to do this...

    Need help with my Lincoln's rear end

    I took it for a drive down to my dad's house today to fix the paint, and it felt like I have a clunk in the rear end, like I keep hitting potholes or something. Can anyone see what might be wrong? I took a picture...

    Engine belly pan clips

    Does anyone know what clips are used to hold the belly pan under the front of the engine are? When I did my cooling system I was in a hurry to get the car back on the road. The pins were kinda cracked when I pulled them out, and now I can't find what I did with the surviving pins. I'm hoping...

    Excellent trans company

    About 2 years ago I decided to put a stronger transmission in my 2000 Silverado 4x4. The plan was to pull the 4L60E out and install a 4L80E. At the same time I had them installed a TCI low gearset to make up the higher 1-2 gears of the 4L80E to keep my acceleration. I went with a company...

    Multiple monitor setup

    http://tulsa.craigslist.org/sys/3605506002.html 500/best off, plus insured shipping from 74021. I had these as part of an 8 monitor system for a home business but found that I only ever use 4 of the monitors. This setup would be ideal for a home business or a gaming system.
