    Was there any LS V8 that took 9 quarts of oil?

    So I had the engine replaced on this piece, and the guy who did the motor said "I had to put 9 quarts of oil in it to get it into the proper oil level". This didn't make sense to me, because the manual says to put in 6 quarts. Any ideas?

    Think it still runs fine?

    I just located a used 3.9L to put into my LS (since this one just FREAKING BLEW UP... btw @#$* FORD), but it's been sitting in the junkyard since 2003. Car had a fire in the rear, so their system says it looks ok, but the guy at the yard hasn't looked at the engine in a while. He's got a 30...

    Engine rebuild cost (kit and labor?)

    Does anyone know how much it'd cost me to rebuild the 3.9L V8 in my 2000 LINCOLN LS THAT BLEW ITS @#*%ING MOTOR? Basically, the cost of the kit. It's got rod knock, so I imagine I need all the rod bearings, possibly wristpins, etc... although I've never rebuilt a motor myself (I've pulled...

    *sigh* how hard is the engine removal and reinstallation on this piece?

    Ok, looks like my best option is to pull the #%(*ing motor and replace it with a used one (by the way, #@*% FORD) How hard is it to pull the motor out of this piece? And by "piece" I'm referring to the P.O.S. 2000 LS V8 that now has rod knock and is about to blow the entire motor. So...

    front hub and bearing replacement

    Ok, in the service manual it says "Front hub and bearing is not press fit into the wheel knuckle, do not use a slide hammer..." I'm replacing the freaking thing anyway, so I did use a sledgehammer, and it DIDN'T WORK. I've tried making all sorts of pulling mechanisms, and nothing has worked...

    Upper control arm repair

    Anyone know exactly the process for replacing the upper control arm? I've FINALLY after freaking forever hours got the ball joint nut off (an impact gun didn't even do it, just spun the bastard around), but I can't get the two bolts out that connect the control arm to the chassis. PLEASE...

    Brakes hydroplaning on the rotors?

    I've had issues on my OEM rotors in heavy rain (or horizontal rain on a windy day) where after a while, the brakes would feel like they were hydroplaning on the rotor and like NOT stop at all, I don't know if it was just water inside the pads that was outgassing as it heated up, or if it was...

    Which brake pads should I pick up (and weird brake problem)

    I need to replace my pads, and might as well get a good set that won't wear out super fast with my style of driving (I drive like I'm still on the race track usually, so long as nobody else is around). So which pads should I look at? I thought carbotech, but they don't make an application...

    Misfire out of nowhere

    I'm pulling out of a parking lot today, and all of a sudden the car starts to stumble a little bit, then a little more. I pull up to a light and put it in neutral and it's still stumbling pretty bad. End up taking it to a parts store and they check the codes, Cylinder 1 AND 6 misfire...

    non-chrome grille

    Anyone know where I can pick up (or easily make) a non-chrome grill, even flat black? I've put a ton of effort into making my car as invisible to the five-o's laser guns (Veil IR absorbent paint, blinder laser jammer, etc), and the Chrome looks exceedingly ugly when it's covered with Veil. I'd...

    How much more can the alternator handle?

    I was wondering, I've got an electric cooler in my car that I wired to run whenever the car is running, and want to run it once in a while when it's not running, but off a separate battery (probably a yellow top). I'm going to set up a circuit to do it, that's not the problem... The problem...

    Will 235/55/R17's be ok? (winter tires)

    I'm looking at picking up some used winter tires locally, and a guy's got some that are 235/55/R17. Problem is, it shows up as a 3.5% difference in speed, and almost a full inch taller, will this be a clearance problem?

    How do I know if I have advance trac?

    So when I bought the car, it had like ZERO paperwork with it, I'd have no clue what all is installed on it if I didn't know what to look for. Well, one of those things is here... how do I tell if my car has advance trac?

    Anyone ever try a heavy-duty grounding job to fix hesitation?

    I've come from the world of RX-7's, which have pathetically weak electrical systems, and a common problem on some of them is the "3800 RPM hesitation". Basically, the 2nd set of injectors kicks in at 3800 RPM and due to poor electrical connections, they don't always fire properly (too much...

    Hesitation, but no check engine light, and supposedly no codes?

    I've got a 2000 LS V8 sport, and I've got hesitation that's getting worse by the day (been about a month now), it was actually hesitating at light throttle around 40-50 mph today, and almost always hesistates at full or near-full throttle on the highway and getting on the highway (and around...

    Will 215/60/R16 tires with 16 x 7, 53 offset work?

    I've got an '00 LS V8 with the sport package, and want some winter tires/wheels. I'm trying to find some skinny snow tires to put on it, and found a set of 215/60/R16's somewhat near my parent's place, with wheels for a Thunderbird, with 53mm offset. I presume since the tires are 20mm...
