I am so sad right now :(. The LS is sold, and I thought I'd be thrilled to be rid of her. Anyways, I'm bowing out. You all have been a great source of information, and I want to thank ALL who have helped me with the various issues over the years - you know who you are, and your knowledge...

Just completed the front right wheel bearing on my 2000 LS. Was alot easier than the left side, we used an air chisel for that. This time I got smart and used a propane torch to heat up the aluminum piece that the bearing sits in, to expand it away from the metal bearing. After beating on...

Have to buy a 3.5" air filter for my other car, and can't find them reasonably priced anywhere :confused:. Local national chain sells one for $65 ( :rolleyes: ), ebay has them for $2, with $20 shipping to Canada. Theres a spread across the board, and it's driving me nuts. Should I just...

This car is nothing but headaches lately, everything seems to be breaking - one thing after another. I love the car, but was planning on selling it anyways, I can't afford to pay what Ford wants for parts for when this thing really starts falling apart. Currently I owe $7000 and am...

Need a new bearing for the right rear, should be no biggie right? Talked to a local supplier, $73 for a new bearing. It has to be pressed onto the hub (after removal of old bearing). Talked to a shop that says it might not be possible to get at the old bearing to remove it. So Ford...

Crapped out on me last night, was a bugger to get the door apart - unlike the rear doors which are a sinch. Is teamford.com still the best/cheapest place to get new ones? Any tips for putting the whole mess back together? Oh yeah, if anybody knows a part number to look it up on Team Fords...

I'm in Canada, that beats most of ya's - but I'm curious if there are any other members here who live pretty high up. Ingersoll Ontario is at 43.1N and 80.8W

Have the new regulator, can't find the old one - it's been out that long. Had a block of wood holding the window up this whole time :D. Also need a good left wheel bearing (front). Long story short I had replaced it with a right side one that was sent to me and it works mechanically but...

Had to replace both rear window regulators, and can't find the old broken one for the right side. Need the motor off it, and can't find any in the junk yards around here. Don't want to buy a new one, so I'm hoping somebody here has one kicking around. Thanks.

Have a 2000 LS V8 with a cruise that isn't working. The light on the dash comes on, but it doesn't hold speed. I've heard that it could be the brake pedal position switch, have looked at the obvious things like vacuum leaks, broken lights on the car, etc. Can anybody confirm weather the...

Where can I buy them cheaper than the dealer? My local guy quoted $295 for each rear window, and I need both - the 2nd one crapped out yesterday. So now it has a block of wood in the door too holding it up. He says I can't buy just the regulator, it comes with a new motor too, hence...

How do I tell which is which? One is loose on my 2000, and needs immediate replacement. Gotta know which one to order. Are these difficult to change, such as in a home garage, or should I leave this to the pros?

My 2000 LS with about 90k miles on it has failing lower ball joints. From what I understood, Ford had a recall on these parts. My local dealer says there are no recalls outstanding on my LS, and the ball joints have never been replaced, and are shot. How do I go about figuring out...

Where is it on the LS? If I should get whacked, I'd like to know where it is so that it can be reset vs spending cash on a tow truck. That is if the car is still drivable of course.

Just finished flushing and refilling the LS. Lost a bolt right off the bat from the thermostat housing, couldn't tell where it went. And like all bolts in the engine bay, they never drop down to the ground. Fergetabout it, find it later. Flushed it out with the garden hose, untill all...

Help me out, I've finally blew my factory sub woofer, and am going to install the 12" Phoenix Gold w/500 watt amp from my engineless summer car. I'm not an expert in installing car audio, but figure this should be a pretty simple swap. 1 - does the factory deck have outputs for a sub, or...

That is, my 2000 LS8 Sport; Took about 2 hours in this hot+humid weather. That wax better last till the end of summer!

Do you notice if your steering wheel gets scratched up badly by rings or not? I've let several people 'test' drive the LS (trying to get them hooked), and now 4 times the married people have left scratches in the leather. Usually they self heal after a few months, they just can't be found...

The black paint on my 2000 isn't looking all that great any more, and the deck lid is missing about 10" square of paint in a few spots. Here's what I'm thinking of doing, but am open to suggestions: 2 tone, red (wine) on top, and front bumper area. Dark silver (almost gunmetal) from the...

A friend of mine managed to hurt my LS on the weekend, found damage today when I gave it a wash. Long story short, this guy was in the back seat a wee bit drunk, and was busy puking out the door while at a Tim Hortens drive thru. Better out of the car then inside I guess. He must have...
