Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    04 Grand Prix GTP for SALE

    Up for sale is my 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. This was my daily driver for a few years and drove it 100 miles every day for work up until 18 months ago when I needed to switch to a different car. It needs some work but can be done if your mechanically inclined and have the time to do it. I was...

    04 GTP stalled out and now won't crank

    Its been a while since I’ve posted anything since I haven’t had much time to do anything with my 04 GTP. My car has been sitting in the driveway for the past several (6-9) months and I’ve been starting it to let it run for a while to keep all of the fluids flowing and to keep the battery...

    Possibly bad LIM gasket on 04 GTP

    Guys...Let me know what you think. I've been so swamped with work lately and barely have any time to ever work on my car and when I do have free time, I'm busy working on my 03 Envoy. My GTP has 188k on it and it had sat idle for almost the last 6-7 months. I just replaced my catalytic converter...

    Odd water leak and now problem with blower motor

    Hey guys...I just came across a problem with my 04 GTP. I used to drive it daily but because of job changes I've being using my Envoy and now the GTP sits unused for several days at a time (sometimes a week or two). So I went to get in it the other day after a decent rain storm and it took me...

    Exhaust leak on 04 GTP

    I think I may have an exhaust leak and I can't seem to pinpoint the source. It definitely sounds like its under the hood somewhere but I can't pinpoint it. I was wondering if there is a known issue to look for. It doesn't sound like its towards the front of the car and also sound like it from...

    New radiator and now this

    I just replaced my radiator yesterday because my old one was leaking. It was also plagued with the Dextron crud so I figured I would kill 2 birds with one stone by replacing the radiator and do a coolant swap at the same time. After the swap, I tested it out by letting it warm up while...

    Suggestion how to remove spark plug boot

    So I decided today to change my plugs and wires. I figured I'll start with the rear since I know they're harder. I disconnected the dogbones and rolled the engine forward for the extra clearance. When I went to remove the first wire, the wire ripped out from the boot. I didn't care too much...

    INFORMATION What's the next step after Meguiar's M105 and M205

    I'm getting close to making some time to polish up my car. I've got a Porter Cable 7424 along with Meguiar's M105 and M205 polishes. I've seen in several different right ups that after using these, you should just get a good wax and apply that but then I've also seen people mention applying a...

    Shop said they can't do alignment!?!? Are they right?

    I just replaced LCA, outer tie rod ends and wheel hubs on both side on my 04 GTP. I tried to keep the alignment as close to what it was before I replaced the parts but I knew I was going to needing an alignment when I was done. After the LCA and tie rod ends, I drove it for a few days while...

    What's next? Wheel hub?

    I've had some noise in my front end lately as well as some play in the front tires when checking the 12&6 and again at 3&9. I just replaced both LCA's and both outer tie rods and when I checked for play, I still have a pretty decent amount of play when grabbing the tires at 12&6. I also seems...

    Looking for new Pneumatic Impact Gun

    I'm looking for some opinions on getting a new Pneumatic Impact Gun for home use on working on my cars. It doesn't need to be the biggest and best out there and of course not the most expensive. I have a no-name brand but it seems to be on its way out and I'm not even sure if you can get parts...

    Are my temps right or do I have still have an issue?

    I've had my car for approx. 1 1/2 yrs so far. Its a 04 GTP(No mods..all stock) For the first 6 months, everything seemed to be running fine. Every since then it seems like 1 problem after the other but I'm working through them. About 1 yr ago one of the coolant elbows exploded on the highway...

    Forgot where these wires go

    I'm almost done putting my car back together again and I was in a rush to get it apart and then got delayed by Hurricane Sandy and the following blackout. I have 2 battery cable to connect but I can't figure out where to land them. I think the ground (-) cable doubles up with another ground on...

    04 GTP Trans Starting to slip

    I started a thread last week regarding some noise I was having with my front end. I was suspecting front hub but after changing it and the noise not going away I'm not sure if that was the problem, so I started this thread for the trans trouble. I've got a '04 GTP with 115k miles. Everything is...

    Trying to figure out the noise coming from front wheels 04 GTP

    I've got a noise coming from my front end and I can't seem to pin point where its coming from. Its a 04 Grand Prix GTP. The other day I was making a left hand turn and heard what sounded like a "pop". Right after that I heard a noise that sort of sounds like breaks grinding. The noise gets...
