Re: Vulcan 3.0L V6 opinions

It sounds like it should be a good car, the Vulcan, while underpowered, is a good motor, and by 2002 Ford had all but phased out the more troublesome AX4S in favor of the AX4N (Synchronized/Non-Synchronized). Another notorious rust spot is the dog legs behind the rear set of doors. Check the ...

Problems with the 02

Well, my old 02 LeSabre became my dad's after I bought the LaCrosse, and it has been serving him very well until this week, it has an issue that's perplexing us both.

While driving the Oil Light will randomly flash a few times then shut off, when looking at the Oil Pressure gauge in the car's DIC ...

Re: Working on the car, need some advice

That was what I had meant, the only way I could even get it to start was get it on an angle, from there whenever I had wiggled it it wouldn't come up any farther, at a point it would get so stuck that it would hold itself out of the tank.

Big Update with pictures below...

Well, I had lucked out, I walked away, tried it one last time and the ring came off. :banana:

Now I am stuck getting the assembly out of the tank. I have been messing with it for almost 30 minutes and nada. It seems like the assembly is just a little larger than the access hole... I know if it's ...

Working on the car, need some advice (Update with pictures)

I've been around browsing the forums for awhile, trying to get the work back the LeSabre up to 100%, especially since in a few months it is going to become my dad's car, and I have ran into a big snag.

I have the trunk torn apart to replace the fuel level sensor, I followed the how to guide by ...

Re: Why does it seem like I can never have anything nice?

The NADA value of my car is ~$6625, because even though the car has 105K miles it is still below industry average.

State Farm will repair any damaged car up to 80% of the car's value, which in my case the limit is $5500, the amount of damage was $5444.70. So even though the claim had to go through ...

The police had caught the group of 5 kids doing this ranging from 12-18. They cannot pin my car on them though... I ...

Why does it seem like I can never have anything nice?

Well back on August 3rd, I woke up and found my car vandalized, not even a week after I had a new head-unit installed in the car...

The damage is pretty severe, all the scratches are to bare metal and every single body panel is damaged. Talk about a huge :ballkick:

Onto the pictures:

Re: Winterizing

Pretty much check the tires and fluids.
fill the washer bottle up with Prestone de-icer washer fliuid.
Switch the floor mats from the ones that came with the car to a 4 piece set of Goodyear floormats.
Put the snow bush in the trunk.
