Heh "pretty much dead" car scenes always change, tell that to my 1990 400hp thunderbird sc. Shes now looked at like the fat girl on prom night. My 71 maverick which I'm almost done restoring is burning hot now, getting lots of attention. The old maverick is the poor mans old classic mustang...

So I vented the high side for a few seconds before starting the car. (ugh you were right, took me about 3 seconds to find the port) Guess I vented about the right amount, the system started working with compressor staying on. High side was about 225 and the low was 37ish. I added just a little...

My hero :)

So the ac was blowing cool instead of cold. I've done ac stuff before so I have a general idea what I'm doing. Anyway I put about 20 oz in (system holds 28 right?) I slowly filled it, the psi slowly climbed from 38 psi to about 44 psi. I was shooting for 45 . I think I heard the emergency blow...

After the thermostat was replaced the car seemed to be running normal. The same day it was fixed I parked the car running with the ac on. When I got back about 5-10 minutes later the needle was nearly at the top and the light was on. I drove the car home since I was only 1 away. During the...

I'm just doing preventive care on the car. I'll be swapping out the balancer this week. Since the cooling fan is out I'll be swapping out the electric fan motor. ( current one is on its last legs) Figured with the system drained I'll replace the radiator (car is coming up on 100k) and water...

Ok after digging around the Internet I discovered a 2 row radiator for the ls. Here https://www.radiatorexpress.com/product.asp?part_id=218746&aaia_id=1363632 it's 1/4 thicker than most cores so if true the rows must be really small. At that rate would there be any benefit over a single row.

Thanks for the info, check out this crazy idea for removing the balancer bolt. How safe do you think it would be for the ls 3.9? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G-adEVjfWI

Are there any hows to for removing 04 3.9 balancer?.. I'm thinking remove the electric fan. Jack the car up and pull the automatic cover. Lock the flywheel and start working on the crank bolt.(after taking belts off) From here I know I need the balance puller. However when I pull the...

I bought a new motor for my windshield washer bottle. However I read somewhere that you can't just replace the motor, that you need to buy the motor and bottle as one? Is this true? also how hard is it to remove the washer bottle from the car? This is on 04 v8 ls. Simple fix really...

I believe you are correct sir! When we first got the car you could really hear the fan motor on. I could tell the wife was home because the car sounded like it had a jet engine. Today it was running but so much quieter when it should be on high with the a/c on. Could it be wiring? fuse ? or...

Just dealing with the insanity of chasing a heating issue. As in my previous post the car was running hot, after the dealership they believed it was the thermostat. After the thermostat was change the car did run with the needle at the middle. (guess normal) However yesterday I left the wife...

looks like there are a few generic brand radiator manufactures out there, so which one works best for a Gen II ls? I'm looking forward to replacing my waterpump (which water pump manufacture should I go with.?) , thermostat housing, etc cooling stuff. I want the car to survive stop and go 110...

If you have them, pricing for radiator fan and harmonic balancer.

The catch tank at the firewall was pretty low. Topped it off then tried to bleed the system. With the bleed screw removed it took a few seconds for the coolant to come out. It was a very small stream that hardly flowed. After 2 mins the stream was more consistent. Oh on a more good news bad...

It's 103 outside and the temperature gauge wants to keep creeping above normal. Ac is on max and I can hear the radiator fan. Runs cooler on freeway, almost normal. Reserve tank is full. Picture was taken while idling after a 20 minute drive. Thoughts? Dealer wants 130$ just to look at it.

The headlight box did have the yellow warning sticker on it. The car was nearly fully optioned from the factory. If it wasn't a pain i would have tried to swap over the heating cooling seats in my wifes ls.

Ok so I found a wrecked 03 ls with hid lights. What do I need besides the headlight to make the swap. I assume the ballast but I have no idea where it's at. Thanks

Thanks for the info, I'll look into some poly replacements.(read somewhere that you have to cut off the old bushing) The car is a 2004 v8 ls with 90k miles on it, overall great shape. The sway bar setup is very similar to my 90 sc tbird.
