mechanized331 yup, I did. had a blk 5speed 02LSE but sold both. have a blk on blk 06 now. Bro u gotta post more pix of urs in obsessed group of course. lol
Hey I’m about 6 years late to this video lol but I got a v6 05 ls my compressor went out stopped spinning I’m assuming since my belt started burning and ripped all other pulleys look good except the ac compressor , haven’t moved the car or even turned it on in 2 months almost now before tho my ac did stop blowing cold should I still get it discharged before I replace my compressor?
Hey! No worries! Yea if your compressor needs to be replaced, legally speaking you need to have the Freon extracted in an approved manner. After that the same place can charge you up the right way. DO NOT remove lines until Freon is removed, they are definitely under pressure!! And thank you! Still driving it. 230k on miles.
@@mechanized331 yea it’s cause the car doesn’t really move I tried just adding a new serpentine belt and it completely burned it and snatched the belt in half ac compressor doesn’t even spin so I can’t move the car or anything it’s just sitting right now
Nick LoCascio Hey. Honestly I don't know, it's pretty tight in there!! If you were going to attempt it, it may be advantageous to remove the radiator and such. I've never attempted it however.
I don't have a DIY unfortunately. I'll give you a thumbnail. You cut and trim a piece of cardboard that fits into the grille perfectly. Remove the cardboard and then lay that over the wire mesh and cut that out the same shape. The wire mesh is an overlay over the factory grille. You drill very small holes with a #40 bit in various places and secure with small wire. This is the mesh from Home Depot. www.homedepot.com/p/Amerimax-Home-Products-6-in-x-36-in-Hinged-Gutter-Guard-Unpainted-85280BX/100002884 If you just want the grille black you could have it painted or at least Plasti-dip it you are on a budget.
True, but the LSE appeared in '02 first on the Gen 1's. Very limited with a one year only factory body kit and bumper and available in only two colors, black and birch silver! The internet is full of resources. Jump on Lincolnvscadillac.com and many of the FB LS pages i.e. Lincoln LS enthusiasts or Lincoln LS Obsessed.
Such a beautiful LSE!

o my god !!! i from mexico i love your car ,i have one 😍😍😍2000
Thanks!
Did you change the expansion valve ?
Not on this '02. I did change it on my old '00 and that was a chore! www.lincolnvscadillac.com/forum/threads/dash-board-removal-thread.76669/
So, how do I discharge the AC system before I start?
Hey, you'll have to take it into a service center to do that. I wouldn't think they'd charge much.
will my compressor be in the same place? I got a 04 ls v8
Yes it should be same!

@@MakorRudy I’ve heard of people that vent the Freon from the Schrader valve and that’ll relieve the pressure from the lines before removal.
Can you change out the compressor clutch, bearing and pulley without removing the compressor?
Nick LoCascio Hey. Honestly I don't know, it's pretty tight in there!! If you were going to attempt it, it may be advantageous to remove the radiator and such. I've never attempted it however.
Thanks for the reply. Might just change out the compressor. How is the one you put in working?
Nick LoCascio It's still pumping strong, no issues!
how did you know for sure it was the compressor
Because the refrigerant was leaking through the clutch shaft.
Do u know where it was leaking from?
Was it hard to change it out
Not really at all. Changing it isn't hard, the lack of space is the challenge!
Yea I figured...
where did you get the grill from?
It's a wire mesh insert made from a gutter covering.
I'm trying to murder mine out, I have a chrome grill and could never find a place that has black lol could you please send me a diy on how to do it? 😁

where did you buy ur compressor
+willie smith I picked it up on eBay, don't remember the suppliers name.
Where did you get the spoiler?
I picked that up from Wings West, they also offer a full body kit last I saw.
I think you're supposed to change the condenser, and accumulator as well when you do this. Also, If its not Motorcraft parts , its a crap shoot.
True, It's ideal, but not absolutely necessary.
Any part on a ford or Lincoln is a crap shoot
Not bad for a American car
like
no such a thing is a 2002 lse 2004 to 2006 only@@
Oh there most certainly is!! Look into it.
Not true
I checked 2004 to 2006 that's the year Ford made lse
