    LS windshield wipers have a mind of their own...

    The weirdest thing is happening with my wipers today.. Even in the off mode the wipers randomly swipe across the windshield. And now only high mode works correctly. The rainsensor has been broken and unplugged for years so I know that's not causing an issue... Anyone know what to replace...

    Cannot get secondary chain/tensioner off. Frustrated and tired

    For those who replaced their secondary chains and tensioners with "christophers master link chain kit", how the **** did you all get the tensioners off? It looks like I could remove one of the cams but I don't really want to disturb the journals if I can avoid it. I searched and someone...

    Okay to see inside the cabin/carpet from underneath car?

    On the plus side, I replaced the fuel pump as preventative maintenance and that went very well. On the minus side, I saw some other things going on while I was under the carpet. :eek:

    1st gen Primary and Secondary Timing Chain clarification help

    So while doing some preventative maintenance I thought I'd post on here for some suggestions and I'm glad that I did. I did not know that timing chain tensioners were an issue for the 3.9, and more so the 2000 and early 2001 LS's. Through my research I have found that the production date...

    NEEDING a reliable LS for next four years. What to do for preventative maint?

    I've owned my LS for the last 8 years and I do all of the maintenance/repairs myself. I absolutely love this car when it runs. So smooth and quiet and nice handling! My parents have suggested a newer and more reliable car while I'm in dental school (like a Kia or Honda) but I just don't want...

    Need a new wheel bearing ASAP

    What's the deal with the Lincoln LS wheel bearings? I replaced a front wheel bearing hub just two months ago and all was well and quiet again. Then last week I started hearing some noise which sounded odd. I jacked up the car today to do a visual inspection and the back wheel is extremely...

    2000 LS lower balljoint help.. Complete assy or MOOG?

    I've been doing some searching on LVC and have learned a lot about LS balljoint issues.. So I'm replacing a bad front wheel hub today and I discovered my lower balljoint is shot (rocking tire with hands at 12 and 6 o'clock position on the tire and play at the following joint- see picture). It...

    Alpine amplifier died.. Terrible quality control (PICS)

    No wonder the amplifier overheated... The screws on the mosfets were not recessed and therefore the heatsink was not making contact with the row of mosfets. A quick check with the ohm meter confirmed that the row of mosfets are dead... :( Alpine MRV-F345... my last Alpine amplifer..

    HELP!! Bad wheel bearing, CV, or carrier? VIDEO ATTACHED

    My beloved 2000 Lincoln LS with ~170k miles has developed some nasty noise(s). I had a strikingly similar (but slightly different and louder) noise a few years back and a junk yard carrier with 115k miles did the trick! :) Under light acceleration and under heavy deceleration (downshifting)...

    Rearend or CV that's gone bad in LS??

    I have a click and a hum that's most prominent when I downshift and let it the engine slow the car down as well as a slightly noticeable humming at interstate speeds... I'm not certain if it is the rearend or a CV but I'm leaning toward replacing the rearend. The symptoms are almost identical...

    Test drove a 2006 LS today. Somewhat unimpressed

    Just got back from test driving a one owner low mileage 06' LS. I've owned my 2000 LS for many years and it has had some issues like most first generation LS's with high mileage (mine has 160k miles, most with intake,exhaust,tune and a heavy foot). I was looking at upgrading to a gen2 to get...

    Feedback on gen1 vs gen2 reliability improvements

    I am a proud owner of a 2000 LS that has served as a nice vehicle so far. I'm looking at upgrading to a gen2 LS (possibly 2006) and I would like some feedback on reliability issues associated with the Gen2's. Some of the more prominent issues I've addressed with my gen1 with 160k miles...

    Attempting quad bi-xenon projectors in LS (also selling current retrofit)

    Has anyone attempted a quad projector setup in the LS? My current plan is to retro four TL projectors (all bi-xenon) into the first generation LS headlights. Pictures of this setup soon to follow! :D On a side note, my current setup since 2006 has been E46 bi-xenons (headlights) and...

    Lincoln LS E46 Bi-Xenon projector setup complete

    I am selling my E46 Bi-xenon projector retrofit setup. I've used these for four years and they've been enjoyable. I'm selling because I am looking at other projects :D Issues: In order to mount these on your LS you need to have a modified airbox (or a KKM filter). This is due to the depth of...
