I've always wanted an 06 or lse front bumper. I'm in Atlantic Canada and to my knowledge, there are none in existence. Ebay rarely has them and shipping would be insane. I'm going to undertake making a conversion from my 05 non lse bumper. I have ordered the round fog lights and plan to cut and...

So as promised, I've begun to undertake my engine swap. I've got an 03 V8 and an 05 V6. The 03 is rotten pretty bad. Originally I was going to attempt repairing it, but the damage is extensive, and more less everything underneath is quite far gone. My main concern was the completely rotten rear...

I'm strongly considering buying a tuner and having a few custom tunes made, but am also curious as to whether I can modify them myself. I'm in Canada so the tuner itself is about $550 + tax and a custom tune from this Torrie guy is around $240 CAD. Long story short, I was wondering if anyone...

So I was going to order the Magnaflow package #16678. I noticed the seller had the diameter listed as 2.25'' but Magnaflow shows it as 2.5''. I emailed Magnaflow to see if they made a smaller version, and told them I was putting it on my v8. They replied with this: "Sean, Unfortunately we do...

I should have posted this sooner. Do NOT purchase any Deutsche Parts for your LS. I bought a set of rear toe links and they literally failed after the first tank of gas. Roughly 400 km and the rubber seals were shot and about a quarter inch of play in the rear wheels. Complete trash. Just...

My 2005 v6 is perfect underneath, no rust. My 2003 v8 is mechanically perfect, but the rear end is shot where the sub frame bolts to the body. I was going to repair the frame mounts, but the deeper I look, the more rust I find. It's a major restoration project. I don't need two cars. One is...

So I keep breaking springs. I replace them with junk yard ones because they're very cheap and ford sells new ones for roughly $400 each... I'm considering going Eibach springs and new shocks, which will run me roughly $1100 CAD. On the other hand, I can buy Coilovers for roughly $1800 CAD...

After much searching I haven't found a clear answer. I need 2 rear adjustable tie rods . Ford wants $270 each for OEM replacements. I've ordered 2 from ebay, got literally 500km on them and they're worn. Got 2 from primechoice auto parts, even less km on them. I drive like an old man... It...

2003 ls v8 The thermostat went about 6 months ago, I changed out the tstat and housing. Car ran fine. I noticed a small leak afterward which turned out to be one of the bolts holding the housing to the block not tight. It must have crossthreaded because when I tried to tighten it it snapped in...

Ok so I'm looking at some 18" rims 8" wide. I've found nice tires 225 45 18 Will they fit and be ok? I'm having a hell of a time with online calculators... and a formula provided in an earlier post isn't working out for me at all. Thank you, Sean

ok so I'm a tire noob. I've got stock ls 17 inch rims which I believe are 7.5 inch diameter (please correct me if I'm wrong). I'm currently using 225x55's but have found a nice set of 205x50 R17's. Can I use these tires on the stock rims? I've been searching all day and can't find a direct...

Story: The car was working fine until it sat for about a week. I Went to drive it and 5 minutes later it threw codes P1285 (Cylinder Head Overtemperature Condition and P1299 (Cylinder Head Overtemperature Protection Active). The engine temp shot up and the car went into protection mode. I got...

A few days ago I went to start my 05 V6 with 180k. It was cold outside. It started fine but immediately began to randomly misfire and jump rpms. The misfiring is the worst I've seen it, throwing codes for 4 different cylinders. It's also throwing codes for 02 Sensor Signal Stuck Lean Bank 1...

Generally speaking were there many changes made between 04 and 05 models? I know my 05 is missing an EGR valve, but I've never had an 04 so just curious if there were any major changes made between the two years. I'm looking at an 04 as a parts car, I realize it's Gen2. Anyone out there know...

This car is impossible to find parts for. I broke my rear spring and have been looking for a new one for more than 6 months. I've been to every junkyard east of Quebec trying to find one. Ebay lists nothing (except a set of 4 used ones for about $650CND). Ford will sell me a new one for just...

I've got a gen2 v6 and I'm trying to find the EGR valve... I've been searching for days to no avail. The workshop manuals dont seem to show its location either. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My shocks are shot and one of my rear springs is sheared in half at the base. I want to replace the shocks and one spring, but I can't find a spring for sale anywhere (I'm in Nova Scotia canada). Ford wants $300 for a new one and there aren't any junk yards with the part. Ford also says there...

The engine sounds excellent, but frequently when Im driving between 50 -60 kilometers per hour, I'll hear a bit of knock when I press on the accelerator. If I increase speed past 70 the knock goes away. It's like a quick pre-ignition knock that happens as soon as I accelerate. If I tap the gas...

Recently my doors have been freezing open. I unlock the car and the door latches on both frontside doors will not latch closed. I've uploaded a video showing the issue. I've tried using methanol, I've lubed them up neither seem to work. The only solution I've had luck with is heating the latch...

I've got an 05 LS v6 and am having transmission issues. Mainly harsh reverse / drive engagements, but also a lot of switching between 4th and 5th going up some hills. I found an 03 LS v6 for sale for about $1000. I'm thinking about picking it up to do a swap. I'm pretty sure the 03 is a Gen 2...
