    just got done replacing the radiator in my 2000 LS. I was surprised no issue with my reassembly... I also got to replace most of the fluid in the hydraulic fan setup :Beer the radiator was a bit of a job, it took me way too long, I was very happy the car started and just went, without any...

    Crankshaft Position Sensor

    guys, the dealer is quoting me $500 to change out the crank position sensor. I have the 3.0l 6cyl manual 2000 LS.

    my quest for the right rotors

    I'm looking for a set of rotors that I actually like. I like crossed drilled rotors, mostly for the looks though. Better braking is great but I don't auto cross or etc. Three years ago when there were not many rotor options for the LS I purchased these powerstop AR8160XL AR8160XR...

    v65spd vs v8

    what's everyone opinions (i don't mean to bash anyone’s LS's I love all of them) I think if driven correctly a stock v6 5spd could compete with a stock v8. The horse power difference isn't that large and the v8 is a bit heavier. I'm not saying the 5spd is faster but manuals can perform...
