Will do got about another 10k on the warranty so I will just get the parts ready now by the time I'm at the 10k I will have them all ready to go in Thanks I really love my car but I'm sure this will be the last ls for me getting older time for a more reliable less issues and pampering

as much as i love the LS, it will for sure be my last one. and unless ford gets back to making exciting cars, there is a good chance that I'll probably be moving over to the "other LS world" lol

Well, at least the next guy who works on mine won't have to, I used shorter bolts on the two rears on mine. There were more than enough threads to hold it down.

So why wouldn't ford no do this in the first place lol

I always have loved the jag sport cars think that's what got me in the ls in the first place I just never had the money for a 65k F type but I'm going to start a savings plan now lol hope I can have one before I leave this world lol

Because the longer bolts fit and need to be that long in at least some of the locations they are used in. (Personally, I am not convinced that they don't need to be that long at the back of the outlet pipe as well.)
I design stuff that gets manufactured. One of our engineering goals is to keep down the number of different parts used as much as possible. It's easier to stock three different sizes of bolts than it is to stock ten different sizes. Also, the assembly line makes fewer mistakes if there are fewer sizes to pick from. It also makes service and repair easier.

this is a HUGE focus for pretty much every company!

So when you get all those other things replaced and its making good pressure again, for sure the Degas bottle will crack. Make sure you get it replaced to. Even if you have to crack it yourself.

And the Ford/Lincoln Dealers all suck at finding a leak in that Car. Either they wont find it, or they will tell you the wrong thing is leaking. Went to 3 of them, all could not find a leak and bled the system, about $400 plus all total to tell me there was NO Leak?? Go figure?

I remember when this cracked on my 2001. I had drove over some stuff flying off the back of a pick up truck and had it in the shop under they insurance. The shop called me and told me I had a bill because that bottle had cracked. I was sure it was from the stuff in the road ,never new that could happen. Now after understanding the car a bit I think he saved me pain and money I didn't even see I was about to have
It wasn't over heating at the time
