I did do a search but could not find the answer to this situation. I have an '01 LS V8 that had a failed hydraulic fan hose so it got parked in the summer with only water in the system. Recently replaced the fan with an electric and changed the thermostat. Now there is no heat, the hoses at...

I towed a 15' U-Haul trailer loaded to the ceiling from Ocala, FL to Kokomo, IN with my 2000 LS no problems. I bought a do it yourself hitch, I think it was drawtite brand (Maybe) but I did not have to trim my bumper at all (I think that's only on the LSE which is what the directions said), it...

I own a 2000 continental and on a cold winter night the differential planetary shattered. I rebuilt the tranny myself using a dealership manual. Once I got it ready to test, it drove reasonably well except it would slip in reverse until you revved the engine, then it made a noise one time in...

I did 152mph in my '00 V8. Yes it did not have a limiter because it was built in 99 and I was running stock size tires. I will give you that speedometers may not be 100% accurate, but they should be +/- 3mph I would think. I could do this only on nights when the temp was about 60 degrees. If...

I had HID's on my Continental, but they burnt out in about a year. I figured out why. First problem is the daytime running lights, they are 100% not compatible with the HID's and I can't figure out a way to disable them except to just remember to turn the headlights on everytime you get in...

I was just wondering what you guys think would be a good theme song for the LS after you beat someone in a race. You know how cadillac has the Led Zepplin Rock and Roll song, something like that, only for the lincoln, it has to be upbeat and be good for playing after you have just owned...

I have a 2000 LS V8 with Advancetrac. It drives me nuts that this car understeers worse than my 93 Taurus or almost as bad as my mom's 96 Chrysler Town and Country minivan. I can't even take a left street turn at 25-30mph without the brand new Michelin Pilot's squeeling. I don't have the...

I have a 2000 LS V8 with the Alpine cassette \ 6 disc changer in the glove box. I really like the new THX touch screen radios, does anybody know if it is possible to put the THX unit in the 2000 LS? If it is possible, what all would I need to get to hook it up, such as wiring harness changes...

I have also smoked an SRT-4 Neon, although I didn't race him off the line, we started at about 30MPH and I smoked him hands down. I also thought it was hilarious yesterday, there is a New Beetle in my town that is all riced out and he must be running straight pipes or something it's terribly...

Just to note, my non-sport came stock with "V" rated tires and I replaced them with "W" rated tires.

Sorry for the very terrible delay in response times, but my computer has been down for weeks, I am on a borrowed one now. My LS is an early 2000 V8 non sport totally stock with 54K miles. I am running the stock size 16" Tires and have not modified anything. I did however after posting this...

Second of all I didn't think the speedometer was right either. In my county where I was doing these top speed checks, the county roads are exactly 1 mile apart. We drove at that speed for 2 miles according to the roads not the odometer and it took us approximately 48 seconds. That translates...

First Of All Well, like I said, I did hit 152mph 3 times whether you believe it or not, I don't know how I can prove it other than taking a pic of the speedometer. I had a friend with me. I am running stock size tires and the road was flat, it was a cool dry night. Any ideas for proof, I...

Correction on Top Speed I have a 2000 LS V8 and I don't have a speed limiter. I have had my LS up to 152MPH 3 times. It accelerates steadily up to about 130 and then it still speeds up fairly steadily, but a little slower. I guess I might just have a fast one, although mine still takes...

Thanks for your help guys, I am not going to worry about it for now, but when I get properly motivated, I will check into getting the TPS adjusted.

I am pretty sure I need new struts on my LS, but for some reason they are not available anywhere. Does anybody know how to find some good ones, thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response, I am sorry I got it backwards, the computer is staying in closed mode (reading from the sensors) when at WOT. I think I will go test drive another LS from a car lot today and plug my carchip into and see what the results are there and compare them.

This might be kind of technical, but I would love some input. I have a 2000 Lincoln LS V8. I also have a CarChip EX data logger that reads inputs from the computer as you drive. I was monitoring Vehicle Speed, Throttle Position, Intake Air Temperature, and long term fuel trims. I noticed...

Late Reply I know it's late, but I just found the post. I just put a set of P245\50WR16 Tires on my LS and they fit great, speedometer read about .5-1.5 miles per hour higher than actually speed though.
