    Remote start question

    I just had a CompuStar CS700 remote start system put on my 04 LS V8. First off, is the instrument panel supposed to work when I've remotely started the vehicle? The only thing that powers when I remote start is the HVAC system and the lights. The instrument panel and radio are still off...

    Rear deck covering

    Wanting to replace the stock subs. I know how to get all of the trim off behind the rear seats in order to get the rear deck cover off, but how do you actually remove the rear deck cover? Do you have to remove the trim around the rear pillars? What else has to be done? Thanks!

    Off Topic, but input needed

    So my mom has a 2004 Expedition Eddie Bauer. When she locks it and repeatedly hits the 7|8 9|0 buttons on the keypad repeatedly a few times (it varies, but its somewhere over 7 times), the truck will start WITHOUT the key anywhere the ignition. As soon as you open the door and sit in the...

    Stock sub replacement

    So I think one of my stock subs is starting to go, so I want to replace them both. I want to keep them in the factory position. I've seen two different sizes for those subs, either 6x9 or 6.5. Which is it? If I went with 6.5 subs, will they fit in the hole if the subs are actually 6x9? I...

    04 V8 exhaust

    Going to be replacing the resonators with a pair of glass packs and running straight pipe out the back from there. My question is this: will the amount of straight pipe affect the sound put out by the glass packs or will it still have the same throaty sound that it would if the glass packs were...

    Water in spare tire well

    Found a bit of water in my spare tire well. Not too much, but an issue nonetheless. Shop-vac'ed the water out. Now as to how it got in there in the first place. Any suggestions?

    '04 v8 p0108

    So I know the car doesn't have a MAP sensor. I replaced the MAF sensor to no avail. I checked for vacuum leaks and there were none that I could find. Can the DPFE be replaced without replacing the entire EGR valve? If so, does anyone have a part number for it?

    Intermittent problem

    '04 LS V8. 94K. Just did plugs, coils, VCGs, and upstream bank 2 O2 sensor. When driving on the interstate and riding with the cruise control on, the car ever slow slightly hesitates while going downhill. Uphill, no problem. Just happens on cruise going downhill, doesn't matter what speed...

    Resonators - yes or no?

    Going to be planning an exhaust upgrade and was wondering whether deleting the resonators will make the car sound more aggressive?

    Have to vent...

    So I was doing the COPs and plugs yesterday on my 04 LS-V8. Got through the driver's side with no serious issues (just PITA bolts on the coil covers). Get to the passenger side (which was a breeze compared to the other side), replaced the front most coil and plug with no issues, then decide to...

    Question about TSB 16168

    This is the one about the rubbing or squeaking coming from the steering wheel/column. Is this fixed by the additive in the power steering or is that for a different problem? If there is a different fix, what would that fix be?

    P0153 - Place your bets...

    So I know what it probably is, but it's between the O2 sensor or an ignition coil. What are your thoughts???

    Apparently my LS is biased against fatties

    So I think the CC seat duct for the driver seat is possibly crushed in my 04 LS. Apparently the car is biased against rotund fellas like myself. Is there any easier way to replace the duct work besides what's laid out in the TSB?

    Question about audio system

    So I am going to be replacing the factory in dash 6 disc in my 04 LS sport. Its not the nav system and has the "12" speaker setup. When I pulled the radio to look at the connections, there are 4 plugs on the back of the unit. I know that one is the main connection and one is for the rear sub...

    Since the LS has dual cats...

    Is it possible to, instead of a cat-back setup, to run a true dual exhaust system on these things?

    Has anyone ever asked or actually figured out why...

    The 3.9L kills ignition coils like a serial killer? Since the 3.9 is based on the Jag 4.0, does that engine have the same issue or is it that when Ford decided to shorten the stroke, it royally screwed the engine up? Just curious.

    What ignition coils are the best???

    I'm probably going to be replacing them within the next 3 to 4 months. Are the Motorcraft DG-529s the best or are there aftermarket ones that are just as good or better?

    FordParts.com really pi**es me off!!!

    So I had to replace one of the rear door ashtrays and the two pins that hold the engine shroud in place. I decided to order them directly from Ford using the fordparts.com website. Went that way so I didn't have to pay for shipping. They said that they would be available the next business...

    A couple of questions...

    1) Does anyone else's Gen2 have a tensioner or pulley constantly squeak even after hitting it up with WD-40? If so, what type of lubricant should I use to eliminate the squeak? 2) How in the world do you remove the front license plate bracket? Thanks! LSter

    Advice for iPhone integration

    I'm new to the LS scene, so I want your advice on the best way to integrate my iPhone into my factory sound system. Should I go with an aftermarket H/U or one of the aux input adapters that hook into the factory unit? My sled is an '04 LS V8 Sport with the non-nav in-dash 6-disc changer and...
