• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    Egr tube for 3.4 equinox

    I have original short egr tube. Found a longer good tube at boneyard. This means the nox has a retrofit egr kit? So I need to go back and get the retrofit egr valve? Since GM does not sell the old, short tube alone.

    Subframe/rack

    I unbolted rack from subframe and dropped subframe so rack was left hanging. Last yr I did trans swap on my Seville and I left rack attached to subframe and unbolted steering u-joint. Was told to do it that way on caddy. I think caddy rack has same 2 bolt setup. Seems to me letting rack hang...

    No 3rd gear upshift

    1-2 is fine. Rev to 4k, let off throttle and she shifts fine into OD. If I give it gas, at say 50mph, it will downshift fine into 3rd but will go back to OD as soon as I go to part throttle. Dropped pan, checked accum pistons.look fine. O-rings are ok, center shafts are tight, no slop. So, I...
