I'm seeing LSs on Facebook with similar mileage for 3-5k right now, it's crazy what used cars are going for today.

Interested what you would ballpark the value of this 2004 LS V8 ultimate sport at these days in this used car market? Very clean with the following exceptions: 1) Thermostat needs replaced 2) Hard shift in lower gear (1 to 2), the 5r55s transmission total rebuild/upgrade was applied in 2017 but...

Thanks Joegr! So you wanted to replace factory head unit/nav and leave the factory THX speakers, is that correct? My rear deck speakers are bad and I don't think they sounded all that great in the first place when they still worked. Would would these issues you encountered still be present...

Holy yikes that is an expensive head unit! Would that Maestro ADS-MSW work with another, cheaper, android auto head unit?

Thanks for the help. I suspected issues you mentioned with different size rims. My trans isn't doing so hot.... AND it was rebuilt. I think it was from using manual shift when I was... you guessed it... struggling on iced roads... I guess you aren't supposed to do that once you have done the...

Got it. So sell my LS and buy a truck.

So I just match the bolt pattern and find some steel ones and I'm good? 15 or 16" tires are usually cheapest, right?

Anyone have any recommendations on what I need to look for in a set of cheap wheels to mount some winter tires on? Want to stay as low cost as possible. Don't care what it looks like. Thanks :)

I love my polk bookshelf speakers. I don't want to worry too much about blowing my new speakers out though. I tend to crank the tunes a bit.

When you put it like that I'm kind of mad at myself for not sniffing out the bullshit they were layin down. :) I guess the factory subs are 45w rms? Need to match 45w rms as well as matching to a total impedance of 2 ohms on the entire sub+tweeter combo? Or does one look at the impedance of the...

Thanks Joe. What would I do without you! :) The shop I took my car to expressed concern over using 6x9s with a tweeter saying "they would blow or end up frying eventually". Did you experience this with your infinity units?

I'm dealing with the same issue. Car audio store recommended I disconnect the rear deck speakers and just put in a sub. I would rather stay factory or find a better version of the same speaker for direct replacement. I have a 2004 LSV8 Ultimate with THX system. Is this the right part...

Thanks. Mine is black. Is color indicated by the -AAB portion of the number? Edit: I see black ink color is 4W4Z-5460762-AAC

Does anyone know if the correct part number is 4W4Z-5460762-AAB?

Any advice on which control arms seem to have a good rep? I'm going to buy from rock auto. Also going with KYB GR-2/Excel-G shocks. Do you know if stock springs fit these?

Same problem. I thought it was my shocks. Now I think its a lower control arm after reading this. Is it likely the upper control arms need to be replaced as well? Or do the lower arms tend to fail while the uppers hold out? I'm at 130,000 miles. Presumably what came with the car out of the...

Thank you for letting me know. I don't necessarily want new springs. I just want to make sure I'm not paying a a comparable amount for the uninstall/reinstall of old springs as I would just paying for the install of new springs.

My LS just turned 130,000 today and I think it is time to replace the shocks. I'm hearing considerable scraping/squeaking over bumps; especially in the rear. Bumps and uneven roads are very noticeable. Light jerking at low RPMs when accelerating which I attribute to poor ability to maintain rear...

No kidding? How can you tell?

Same thing here. I worry that mine sounds like the timing chain rattling. Going to ask the dealer to ride along so I can show them next time.
