    Good read on the 5R55 tranny harsh shifting.

    I just installed a tranny (used but recently rebuilt & tested) in my wife's 03 LS8 & while it shifts a little better than the old one it still slams into reverse even after replacing the solenoid body. Think I might try this next, I cant afford a new one but I would like to find out what the new...

    Confused about trans drain plug/spout

    I had issues with my trans so I bought a used one, mine is the early 03 half year. I got to looking at the drain spout on mine and the new one & the new one is 1/2" shorter than my old one, that would mean I'd get less fluid in the pan. Has anyone ever heard of this issue? I looked for a TSB...

    My Overheating or Degas bottle findings.

    Well, you guys were right, the problem did lie in the Degas bottle. Yes it had spider or stress cracks that you couldnt see untill you pulled it out of the car. What I ALSO found was a broken siphon tube inside the bottle. When I pulled the bottle out I emptied it and threw it on the ground...

    Where do the Degas bottles crack@ ?

    I just ordered one today, mine has air in the system from what I can tell. When I unscrew the lid it bubbles, and I noticed the coolant level is about 2" below where it should be. Not to mention the temp guage pegs out spuratticly and the cooling fan is in overdrive most all of the time. I...

    Anyone having rack-pinon noises?

    When I first bought the car it was making a very noticable noise through the steering column. I did some research and found the TSB about the rack-pinion and that this was actually what seemed like the noise coming from the steering column. Took it in to the dealer at 43k miles and asked for it...

    Can I add factory navigation to my 03?

    Found this post http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=18030&highlight=navigation+factory but it seems to only be discussing adding a factory navigation unit to a pre-03 car. Are there multiple components for the factory nav unit? I have a 6 disc/in dash changer right now.

    Anyone have problems with a ball joint?

    When I bought my wife's 03 LS this monday I noticed on the test drive the steering had a little shake on a nice smooth road. When I brought the car back I asked the used car dealer I was buying it from to check the tire pressure, thought this might be the problem. Well the salesman comes back...

    Where is the door keypad code?

    I had a 96 explorer once and found it printed on the security module but I did a search for my 03 LS and am getting a few different ideas. Does anyone know for sure where this code is located at?

    Bought the wife an 03 LS this weekend

    Did I do good or pay too much? 03 V8,44k miles for $17900 on ebay. I didnt want to spend this much but when I saw the black on black comb I just couldnt pass it up. The only thing I found wrong with the paint was 2 small dings, everything else is pretty nice. The only thing that I heard...

    Considering buying an LS, want your input.

    Please.:D Me an the wife both like alot about the 3.9L LS's and we wanted to talk to some people who own one and learn more about them and if they're problematic at all. So far the most common problems I'm seeing are bad coils and leaky valve cover gaskets and seals. Is there anything else I...
