Hey everyone, Been a while since I've been on the board (been a while since the wifes LS had a problem ;) ) Anyway, the drivers side front tire is cupping which is indicative of front suspension component wear or failure. The car is a 00 LS8 Sport, it has the noisey sway bar that I have never...

It's been some months since I've been on the forum but I remember threads talking about the torque converters have problems. My wifes 00 LS8 has had a rattle since prolly 30k miles. My own fault for never having it checked under warranty, but it now has 101k the rattle is still there no better...

Just received a call from my wife. Her 2000 LS8 Sport is cold on drivers side, warm on passenger side. Can someone send me the troubleshooting info? I know what I'll be doing this evening :(

My wifes 2000 LS has been making this noise since before it went outta warrantee, It now has over 70K miles. I estimate it's been making the noise since about 30k, maybe less. Either way, I'm not going to worry about it til it breaks all the way.

Hey everyone, done some searches and read a lot of posts about the cooling fan issues with early LS's. My wifes LS is a '00, it has ~66k on it, and so far so good. Is there some kind of preventive maintenance I can do to keep the Cooling Fan issue from happening? From the posts I've read...

thanks guys. My main question is really what specific hoses are custom molded applications for our cars and which are standard hoses cut to length. From the parts guys I have talked to we have some combination of both, but neither shop agreed on which hoses were custom and which were standard...

Anyone replace radiator/heater hoses on their car? Just wondering, I've asked at a couple local parts stores with each store giving me different information as far as molded vs standard hoses (which hoses are molded, which are standard hoses). Brian

Yes, those include the valve cover gaskets, as well as plug well, and bolt seals. I just did this job myself and got the kits from Max and 5 star. Shipping took about a week. Brian

Car is an 02 V8 with 65k miles. I replaced all plugs and coils. Not sure I needed to, but I'm old school when it comes to that stuff, it just doesnt make sense to me to have one new coil and 7 old coils. So far so good, car runs good and no leaks. It's a doable shadetree job, it just takes a...

Have to say thanks to the author of the two docs. Also have to say that I had the passenger side done in less than 2 hours and the drivers side took between 8 and 10 not sure how long cause I took a long break after replacing the drivers side valve cover gasket and torqueing all the bolts. so...

Got it back in that night. A friend stopped by to help me finish up. He reached as far down the dipstick tube as he could, working it back and forth, while I applied downward pressure from the top. 30 seconds of working it back and forth and it finally settled back in place.

Hey everyone, I'm most of the way through the valve cover/coil/spark plug job. Both valve covers have been replaced. Working on buttoning up the drivers side. I move the dipstick outta the way, but now it won't reseat properly. I can't get the nut down onto the bolt the holds it in place...

thanks to everyone for their input. I cancelled my Advanced Auto order and Ordered all parts from Max at 5*. A little more money, but I'll get all OE stuff at all the latest revs. Order should come in sometime this week. I'll let you know how it goes. Later, Brian.

Quick followup - Has anyone ordered coils via Advanced Auto? they can get them and are cheaper than five star. there part numbers are differen so I'm not sure what rev they are, prolly won' be OE though right? Thanks again.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I think I'll order two. One for cylinder 4 and a backup. Already have the plugs. I'll do plugs all around, replace coil 4, and check for oil. From reading previous posts it seems very likely that I will find oil, but thanks to this forum I won't sweat it...

Hey everyone. I've been reading this board for a couple months and it seems my wife's '00 LS 65k miles has come down with a bad coil. I scanned it and got P0304 cylinder 4 misfire. I've already found the valve cover/coil replacement docs, awesome stuff there :). My question is, since this is...
