    Head gasket??

    Degas bottle. If it is cracked above the coolant level then you won't loose any coolant, it just won't let the cooling system pressurize. The cooling system need to be able to build pressure in order for it to cool properly. Mine was doing the same thing until I replaced the degas bottle with a...

    Head gasket??

    Mine did the same. High speed fan comes on around 228*. Ensure a factory thermostat was used. Also check the degas bottle. It usually cracks where you can't see it.

    Ford Scanner To Program Remotes?

    Yes you can. You can also delete all other keys ( good if you buy a used car). You can also read the "pid" in the DDM(drivers door module) to get the factory key pad code.

    What did you do to your LS today?

    I replaced my upper control arms. Not to bad of a job. Also had to replace one of the new swaybar endlinks that I installed last week. The joints were to tight causing a popping sound every time the suspension moved.

    Bought my first LS

    That and if you have a aftermarket thermostat/housing, replace it with a factory unit. The aftermarkets are smaller than the factory thermostat.

    ForScan works great!

    The adapter I'm using is the PLX devices Kiwi that I bought back in 2012. The website says it will work with most elm327 adapters, even clones. They have there own support forum with tons of info. Elm327 doesn't have the required programming signal needed to tune the pcm. This where the...
