Hi all, My trunk won't open. It's gotten stuck before but this time I don't think it's just stuck, instead of a popping noise I'm used to hearing, I get a subtle "pttt" almost like a starter trying to crank an engine with a dead battery. Battery is fine, car starts right up and same problem...

My first car was a '93 Cavalier RS. 2.2L engine, 3 speed auto. Sucked. But I got it free, and I was 17, so it was awesome.

We should have a meet up here sometime...seems like there are quite a few in Ontario. I'm in Kitchener btw. Great pics!

I live up in Canada and I have no problem with the LS in the winter. Honestly, it's better than my Taurus. It gets stuck a lot less and doesn't spin out as much around corners (provided you don't get on the gas too hard). The AdvanceTrac system is awesome, too. If you get heavy snow, definitely...

Keep the tint, it makes it look sharp. Not sure where you live but around here the less people can see inside my car the better.

That gen TL is a great looking car. I also looked into those, specifically the Dynamic with the manual trans. Couldn't ignore the price on a used LS though. :D What do you like better, the TL or the MS6?

The best I've ever got on a highway trip was 31 mpg. This was at 55 mph with the cruise control on in the right lane getting smoked by everything from big rigs to school buses. It was also a lot more downhill than uphill. I was able to do 26 the same way on the return trip, so an average of 28.5...

That must be the rare LS Crosstour!

If you had the 3.0L V6 in the Taurus, it was the Vulcan 12-valve OHV engine. The 3.0L Duratec was introduced in 1996. I had a 99 Sable with the Duratec as well, and for what it's worth, both it and my LS V8 get the same mileage. Only difference I noticed in cost is from buying premium.

That's insane. It's an automatic, it's meant to be driven around in the highest drive gear unless circumstances dictate (e.g., you're on a mountain road or you're towing or you're shifting from 4 to 5 too many times because of the speed at which you're travelling or you have some other reason...

I've got a tiny bit of flaking/corrosion on my trunk lid, and I was quoted in the $500 range by two different shops for prep and paint. Having the hood repainted ran me (well, my insurance company) around $600 after some ahole keyed it at a concert :mad: (edit - prices in canadian dollars, FYI)

I've got 99k right now, so threads like this make me feel good! And yeah, once it gets warmer out I am replacing the 5 coils that were not done through warranty over the past year or so.

If you go to a sound competition you will see all types of subs winning in virtually any category. There is no one brand or model that is universally better than others. It all depends on how it is installed and how your system is tuned.

It depends on how many subs you want. That particular sub has a dual 4 ohm voice coil. What this means is that it can be wired to either a 2 ohm or 8 ohm load. If you get two, you can wire it to either a 1 ohm or 4 ohm load. So for one sub you need an amp that puts out around 750 watts RMS at...

Thanks, you've convinced me to do this as my first real mod. Looks great!

Hi there, I've been lurking here for a while and now that I know a little bit about this car I figured I'd start posting. It's a 2005 LS V8 Sport, black on black. Right now it's got 160,000 km on it (100,000 miles) but everything works perfectly. I love it! Looking forward to having fun on...

I had mine covered under programs 07M07 and 07N09, but I think these only apply to the V8. You could call and ask the dealership if either of these programs covers your car. More info in this thread: http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=34064 the letter posted here was to an owner...

another couple minor problems you might run into... DCCV - used to open the vents for the dual zone climate control. it often fails in the open position which results in a steady stream of hot air coming through one or both sides when the a/c is on. part is not too expensive (about $200...

Haha, I literally fixed this on mine last weekend. I used superglue, but quite a bit of it (glued it back together, let it dry, then glued some more, let it dry, then covered both sides in glue, it was pretty rock hard the next morning so I hope it holds if I'm careful with the buttons. :)
