This team is awesome - thank you! I will log onto Rock Auto and buy the Dorman 611-229 units. Never in my life would i have anticipated lug nuts to fail under somewhat "normal" use. THanks everyone! Tom

Hey Team, Seems the little decorative acorn covers on my lug nuts are mangled - no doubt from someone thrashing on them at a tire shop.... Went to get new tires today and they had a pretty good challenge in getting the lug nuts off. Has anyone else out there experienced this and sourced...

Joegr, is there a procedure posted for testing the valve and the DATC? Man, I'd hate to replace that DCCV again - that was a very unpleasant job; driven highly by the tough location and the nearly impossible constant-pressure hose clamps magically positioned to be unable to get the clamp pliers...

Thanks BigRigLS. I found the procedure (Key to On, Off and Floor press simultaneously...). The system diagnostic clearly ran, as the unit was counting upward various sequences of numbers while I could hear all forms of damper/doors in the dash operating. At the end of the diagnostic cycle, all...

Excuse my ignorance. What is a DATC? I can build an E-Type Jaguar or an MGA from scratch, but the LS is new to me. Tom

Team, After a rather difficult replacement of the DSSV to try to resolve cold AC on the driver's side but full hot heat on the passenger side, the new Motorcraft DSSC did not do the job. WHile I was in there, I cleaned all the electrical connections and made sure the electrical plugs were...

Pragmatic, I will be doing the same bodge you did, but I found a brass adapter that has barbs on it - so with a tight hose clamp it will not slip off. Also, since you received a hose with a 1" ID line going into it, that indicates that the new hoses will mate up to the 1" nipple on the new...

It is exactly the same in every other manner - I cannot imagine that Motorcraft or Ford went to the manufacturing expense to build two identical parts with the excetion of one having a 3/4" ID hose barb to the DCCV and the other having a 1" ID Hose barb to the DCCv - this violates every element...

Has anyone experienced this? I bought the V6 upper radiator hose unit, a Motorcraft part, from Rock Auto. Out of the box it looks perfect. Once I tried to install it, I found that the nipple that secures the hose that goes to the DCCV is materially larger in diameter. And, the existing hose is...

Well LS4me, from the procedures posted, it is the engine coolant bleed specific to the V6 cars. The bleed opening at the bulkhead by the brake fluid reservoir is the the bleeder for the coolant on the heater end of the circuit. Both need to be bled when following the bleed sequence. From what I...

Hi Team, A couple days ago I posted a request for help on my 2000 V6 LS Coolant bleeder. I could not figure out how it worked, since turning it did nothing at all. Well, turns out the entire top hose assembly with the bleeder was completely disintegrated inside. For those that might want to...

Problem solved.. well kinda... well, really not at all. I struggled to figure out how the bleed valve worked and it wasn't due to my ignorance, it was due to the bleed valve, its housing, and the hose nipple coming from it being completely toasted. Since the slotted round plastic bleed valve...

MurphyMusic, COuld you scan and post the Ford Shop Manual bleed instructions. I am having the same problem as you, just installed the brand new DCCV, and I am not getting a successful bleed, cannot get hot or cold air from the climate control system. I m stopping for the day since here in CA my...

Which position is OPEN. I will follow the procedure I found through this Forum, but I need to know when this valve is open vs closed. The procedure simlply states, "Open the bleed valve." Thanks in advance. Tom

Hi team, I just acquired a 2000 LS and replaced the DCCV valve (I have the bruised hands to prove it!!). I am now filling the coolant, but while the heater bleed device is easy to operate (it just screws out) the engine bleed valve is a mystery to me. The valve has a little slot in it, which a...
