    Last week my precious LS got hit by a Ford F150. A huge dent was left on the driver's fender.

Does anyone know where can I found fender...

    A/C system passed the sealing test but actually leaked all the refrigerant!

    This is so weird! Succinct version: I replaced the compressor, did the sealing test(result is good) and added enough R134a, then A/C is normal for 3 to 4 days. But after 10 days not turning A/C on, refrigerant leaks to almost empty level. Verbose version: The last time I replaced the A/C...

    Is your LS able to get 3000+ rpm while idle?

    Hey guys, I just replaced the spark plug of my Lincoln LS V8 3.9L. And after that I drove the car on the highway for a test drive. Everything works fine.

    How to loosen to the A/C pulley belt?

    Recently I have my A/C system checked at firestone. The symptom is that: pressure at low side is about 80psi and pressure at high side is very low. That implies a failed A/C compressor. They ask $900+ for the compressor replacement and that's far beyond my budget so I decided to do it with my...
