    Now I have a driver's side window that in addition to squeaking going down, gets stuck going up. White lithium spray didn't do sh*t.

    Sounds like time for a motor/regulator replacement

    GXP started to stuter and overheat today. Hope its the bad throttle body and not the tranny taking a dump.

    I wiped the dashboard clean with my frozen tears, since it wouldn't warm up until about half an hour of driving. 180* Tstat FTL

    sounds like your coolant system needs flushed or bled, i have 180 and mine was warm in about 10 minutes

    Yup after 10 minutes with my 180* the heat is nice and hot, need to backflush your heater core.

    So you think is the coolant and the TB then?

    Normally I get that too. But today it is -5 degrees. First time it has happened to me. Tstat didn't open for a while. Maybe I need a new one.

    And maybe the TB is gummed up inside. Do GXPs have coolant passages in there like 3800's do?

    It was 7* here and I was fine. Maybe it is time to get a new one. Have you flushed your system before?

    Got sad because it had snow got on the GP and I didn't have the cover on and the Oldsmobile was hesitant to start. I had to hold the throttle down a bit to keep it running and even then it was missing and sputtering, once it ran for a minute it was able to idle on its own. It really hates cold weather.

    Did a thorough flush in October. Fresh green coolant. The Tstat however is over 2 years old, and has seen Dex before. Might as well replace, it's like 3 bucks.

    Let me know how easy they are to put on. It doesn't look like they have screw holes do they?

    Yeah not sure I'll put them on later tonight. I know the instructions said something about existing screw holes.
