    I hate who ever did this to me

    I would like to suggest the purchase of security cameras. They aren't very expensive and are easy to install. Costco.com has a selection as do other websites such as Q-See. The cameras can be configured to record on motion or for a set duration and time. These record in MPEG so the quality is...

    Transmission Fluid

    I have the dealer change the transmission fluid and filter every 12 months. Cost is $135.00. If I had a four post lift I would do it myself. Whomever does this task has to know the proper procedure and how the pan is constructed for a proper fill level.

    Oil Change Question

    I change my oil and filters on all of our cars. I use Mobil-1 only. When our '03 LS was under factory warranty and had free servicing I provided the dealer with Mobil-1 for the oil change. I watched too. Fluids and filters are cheap, engines and transmissions are not. Routine maintenance is my...

    Battery Drain?

    When we purchased our '03 LS new the only problem we had was the Viper alarm draining the battery if the car wasn't driven for 10 days or sooner. Most lights are on timers but someone can turn on the inside lights with the dimmer rheostat and that will drain the battery. To preserve your battery...

    Gas Mileage ?

    Yep, same here. These LS's are definitely road cars. They hate the stop and go and it shows in the mileage. The tranny really goes through those first 3 gears pretty fast and fuel flow follows. My concern with the original post is: 4 miles to work? Wow, that is the worst service for the oil and...

    best windshield wipers..

    I really like the Bosch Icons. They have been in use for two years and work great. I also use Rain-X as Oregon is not a dry state. Pun intended.

    rear wheel bearing?...WTF?

    A friend of mine had the same problem with his '01 LS V-6. He is a journeyman mechanic. He took it to work and just replaced the bearing by pressing the old one out and the new one in. However, this task will not be undertaken by a dealership as the danger lies in pressing the new bearing in...

    LS heat and/or AC?!

    My '03 Ls is doing the same thing. Cool air on the passenger side and warm air on the driver side. My doors are not creaking. If I disconnect the hot water solenoids I get maximum heat both sides. Hmmm....

    Dealership trying ti stiff me!!!!!!!!

    For me it would be a rare occaision to allow a woman to go by herself to a dealer or parts store alone. I have too many horror stories to tell from our experiences. I know this sounds sexist but it gets worse if she has a foreign accent.

    The Love For the LS

    The "LS Grin" is permanently etched on my face when I drive my wife's "Hot Rod Lincoln". Ford needs their behind kicked for not promoting this machine more than they did. I see why some say the LS is Ford's best kept secret. What a shame as it is made in America. I plan on keeping ours longer...

    Question -Rain Sensor ...

    Hi all, Our 2003 LS has the auto wipers and they work great for us. On the freeway when passing 18 wheelers the wipers speed up when the spray increases in volume. The wipers will make one sweep when you first start your engine if you leave them in "Auto". Hope this helps.
