Since I am sure most members do not check the marketplace feedback area of the forum, I wanted to forewarn the LS members of this: http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/forum/showthread.php?93282-bluejet-Bad-Buyer

I have broken out what I have left for sale from the LS. LS Parts: http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/forum/showthread.php?93121-2nd-Gen-Lincoln-LS-Parts xCal2: http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/forum/showthread.php?93120-Unlocked-SCT-xCal2 Wheels...

I have a 2005 V8 LS. I had noticed that the radiator fan was running at full speed when I would park it, even though the temperature gauge was in its normal location. Using my scanner I found that operating temperature was getting to 235-240°. The degas bottle was a little low, so I topped it...

I picked up a set of wheels on here quite awhile back with the intention of making them the LS winter wheels. They had been painted previously, and that had not turned out well so I got them relatively cheap. I finally got around to refinishing them, in much the same way as I have done...

I am getting the "check transmission" message and E on the dash. No other lights are on, and no codes are coming up. For whatever reason this is also triggering the cooling fan to run at 100% as well. I had the transmission out recently, as the torque converter needed replaced. Since it...

2005 V8 LS. From what I can tell it drives perfectly fine when cold. Once the engine gets up to temperature, it is temperamental. Since the car is already in drive at this point, the first indicator is that when coming to a stop, the vehicle will lurch/lunge right after stopping. However...

I have noticed that the LS will get a "lopey" idle to it sometimes. It seems more prominent in mild temperatures (not so much in the cold) and more so when the car has not warmed up. It is only rough at idle; a slight raise of the RPM to ~800 or so while holding the brake completely smooths it...

What is the going rate for halogen headlights in good condition for a Gen 2? I got a set of halogens that were supposed to be HID, and am wondering if they are still worth what I paid or if I should go through the hassle of getting money back. So, how much would you spend on a set of decent...

Anyone here gone into the transmission far enough to need to remove the connector to the solenoid block? This is on a Gen 2, 5R55S. If so, any suggestions on removing the bolt that holds the connector to the block? I thought it was bad enough on the Mountaineer with the same transmission, but...

After I turn off the car, sometimes I can hear a light gurgling coming from somewhere in front of the driver seat. It sounds sort of like an ultrasound. Any idea what it is?

Can someone please show me evidence that they have/had a bone stock exhaust that was full 2.25"? I have read over and over that they switched to 2.25" for the entire exhaust on the 2nd gens; after the catalytics my stock 2005 V8 exhaust necks down to 2" all the way back through the mufflers. I...

What all should I be logging with the xCal2? I went into LiveLink and realized it wants me to pick and choose between a thousand different parameters. Any suggestions on datalogging in general?

I decided to take some time today and start refinishing a set of wheels for the LS. I got a set of OZ Ultraleggera's off of here, but they needed some freshening up. It is hard to see in the photos, but there were spots that were roughed up and quite a lot of dents/dings/scratches around the...

I am planning on getting mufflers swapped on my '05 V8, and am wondering if it is worth it to swap the stock cross over with an x-pipe. Any gains, better sound, etc.?

The LS needed new front pads about a month ago. I changed them no differently than any others I have ever done. I popped the master cylinder open, disconnected the caliper, pressed the piston back in, put the new pads on with anti-rattle grease, bolted the caliper back on, and repeated on the...

It seems like the only two names I see come up for tuning the LS are ILLS and Torrie. ILLS is out of the country, so is the only option at this point Torrie? Any idea when ILLS might be back and willing to help? Any other options, or opinions?

How does the stereo get 12V after you turn the key off, prior to opening the door? I probed the power lines, and it seems that there is on 12V source for starting, one 12V source for the run/accessory position, and the constant 12V. Where is the delayed-off 12V coming from? I would like to...

I believe from looking around that the PIE FRD03-AUX/S is the right connector to get an auxiliary input through the "SAT" button on the stereo in my 2005 LS. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions with this? Are there any alternative connectors? Any good sources to get it at a decent...

I have a blue 2005 LS. I came up with plenty of interior information searching, but could not find a source or a list for deciphering interior codes. Does anyone know what trim code 65 is?

Is there any way to know what (if any) work has previously been done on a car with just the VIN? I picked up a 2005 LS8 recently, and would like to know if the coils have been done under the extended warranty, among other things.
