    Getting an 01 V8.

    Since the dealership didn't want to release the title to my bank here in Denver for the white 2006 LS, I've decided to pick up an 01 LS V8 here. Good news is that the usual clockspring, DCCV, window regulators, and coils are bad (4 and 6). Also needs new pads and rotors. Has door damage as well...

    FINALLY getting a 2006, after a year of waiting

    Welcome to Colorado: Home of hideously overpriced 2006 Lincoln LS's. Been looking for a year, only got serious within the past month since I'm moving. Average mileage throughout the year has been 85,000, with asking prices of $10,000, all base model 06's. Finally convinced myself I could do...

    Keyless Entry Pad only locks driver door?

    Went to look at a 04 V8 yesterday. For 147k miles, it was mechanically sound. No cracked plastic cooling components; pretty much everything was golden. ~95% of the electronics worked great! As I was about to leave to grab some cash, I (or I thought) locked the doors, and just wanted to make sure...

    2006 LS V8 Interior Rendering Project

    For the record, this is the 3rd time using my image editing program, so excuse the less-than-amateur job. The LS is my favorite car under anything that us normal people can buy, hate to admit it considering there's better things out there, past and present, like the new Acura's, Audi's...

    Cobrastar Emblem Wanted

    I'm looking for ANY cobrastar Emblem (cobra with the Lincoln logo) for any application on any vehicle panel (grill would be preferred, but not limited to). I know these were produced in limited numbers and are impossible to find. I'm willing to part out with $75, or double what people were...

    04 LS V8 or 97 Mark VIII LSC

    I'm in a big dilemma now. I'm selling my 01 LS after 2 years of great and expensive experience (she's past 207k now). Now I need something else. There's a 04 V8, black on black for $2,200 that needs brakes, a transmission solenoid, and a power steering pump. There's a Crack in the front...

    Picking up a 97 LSC

    Went to look at a black on black 1997 LSC today. It had around 125k miles. The guy wanted $2,100 which probably won't affect his income at all since he has a DeLorean, Z06, a big boat, and a newer 2500 Silverado. Anyways, cosmetically, there's a door ding, and the entire top clear coat is...

    Another alternative way of checking transmission fluid on 5R55N?

    Greats news when I went to check the transmission fluid: the T30 Torx screw inside of the drain plug was stripped. So I thought of another method: fill until I'm able to suck out some fluid with my suction gun. Not sure if this is the best of methods or not, but my transmission went from waiting...

    Junkyard Find

    I found the sight of this beauty at a junkyard, and I still can't reason as to why the owner trashed the car. The body was 9/10. This was white, with a factory spoiler AND a manual transmission. I was really debating as to whether I should actually buy off the shell and transmission and just...

    Finally Getting To 4-Valve setup in my TC

    Most of the repairs are done (driver fender, driver headlamp, and battery still needed), and now I'm looking for salvaged cars to swap engines with. I've done some research and found that the 4-Valve DOHC engines are found in the Marauder and Aviator. I went to some salvage sites and found a...

    Reduced performance at higher altitudes

    I live in Colorado, and I was watching these car reviewers from Colorado, stating that a 6.5 second 2012 Hyundai Azera hits 60mph in over 10 seconds. A similar video showed a 5.2 second 2013 Mustang hitting 60mph in over 8 seconds. Is reduction of performance that drastic here in Colorado (or...

    Update on 2001 LS problems, failure

    Here's something no LS owner has ever countered: total startup failure. Earlier today I went out to eat. 30 minutes later all my lights were on; the foglights and main lights, eventhough the setting for the lights were on the "off" mode. Then I thought maybe it was a minor problem. So I...

    2001 LS electrical system problems

    A few days after replacing the radiator due to a crack on the previous one, I was encountering problems, several problems. First off, my E-Brake light refuses to de-illuminate from the cluster. I've tried putting it on, then releasing it, and sometimes it goes off, sometimes it doesn't go...

    2006 Town Car w/ 32-valve 4.6L engine?

    240HP, I concluded, isn't enough for a car that weighs 4,300lbs. The 8.4 seconds time to 60mph is equally as unimpressive. So I was thinking of what I could do, and here's what I came up with: Swap out the 4.6L 2-valve with a 4.6L 4-valve from an SVT Cobra (94-98)/Aviator/Marauder/SVT Cobra...
