    Parasitic draw 2000 LS 3.9

    I've battled this on my LS since I bought it. Originally, it was as high as 4 amps. Pulling the interior light fuse reduced that to around 370 ma after the car sits an hour and goes to sleep. Still too high and still making my battery weak if its not driven in a day or so. Using the millivolt...

    1'' lowering springs. Camber questions.

    Installed 1'' lowering springs and new suspension parts and went to get an alignment and was told I would need camber bolts front and rear. 2000 LS 3.9. Some reading online seems to suggest that they are no adjustment options for the rear. Someone else mentioned slotting the bolt holes to allow...

    Will Gen2 axles work on a Gen1 ? I'm aware they have different part numbers and slight difference in length 31 3/16 vs 31 22/32. Has anyone done the swap ?

    Are 3.9 Camshaft Bearing Caps Bolts TTY ?

    Anyone know if the camshaft bearing cap bolts are torque to yield type ? I snapped one re-torquing them to 53 inch pounds, but have a feeling the wrench I borrowed, cheap Harbor Freight, was way out of calibration. I was lucky that it snapped inside the cap and could be easily threaded back out...

    Aftermarket PWM Fan Controller

    Varies power to fan as temp rises vs only wide open and off operation. Kinda pricey, but best option when converting the GEN 1 to an electric fan IMO. Can handle 65 amp loads. Continues to run even after engine is shut off to get temps down. I think paired with a low amp fan would be ideal...

    Anyone know where I can get or have one of these new ? I have tried Ebay, Amazon, Rock Auto, and another source and they say they have 1 or 2 or even 5 available then promptly cancel my order. Apparently all are drop shipping sales fronts.

    Gen 2 Fan Assembly in Gen 1 Car Question

    I have a Gen 2 V6 fan assembly I'm swapping over to my Gen 1 V8. The fan has the large and small connectors. I saw an older thread showing a fancy controller. I just want the fan to kick on high at a certain temp, say 185, and shut off at another. I understand the larger connector wires are...

    Hard shifting & delayed engagement LS

    While driving the car at normal speeds of say 40 mph through 60 it will have random hard shift thuds & sometimes when going from reverse to drive it will have a slight delay before the trans engages. I have done some reading up on this issue with the LS and the diagnosis almost always points to...

    Battery draining issue

    I got this 2000 LS V8 a few days ago for$500. It had a no start issue and had sat a year. Turned out only a fuse and fired right up. Now, i'm having an issue with my battery draining. Only takes a few hours after a charge to get weak enough to not start the car. Over night they will be no power...
