    2003 Impala 3.4 intake manifold bolts

    Bought my son a 2003 Base model 6 weeks ago to replace the '04 GP that got totaled. So far I have changed the radiator, water pump, hoses, thermostat, cap, reservoir, temp sensor. The anti freeze still ends up looking dirty and smelling awful. So I ordered from Rock Auto, Fel Pro intake...

    2003 Impala base trans issue?

    So the '03 Impala is having issues. I am not the primary driver so I have only some knowledge about the issue. My son has told me about it and I have felt it on limited driving. So the car, when running and in gear, is super sluggish. Let me explain. When at a stop sign or light and you let...

    Trans fluid change question

    So I want to change the trans fluid in the '03 Impala. I used to have a Caddy with a 4T80e. In that trans there was a plug inside the pan that needed to be removed to drain the side cover. 1) Does the 4T65 have the drain plug like the 4T80e? 2) Doing a pan drop, and the drain plug if...

Does anyone know if the filler neck has any type of anti-siphon device in the neck? I know I can remove the fuel pump and siphon from there but would rather just...

    Let's talk LIM and UIM gasket leaks

    So I bought the '04 GT1 for my son about 15 months ago. Since then the car has been losing oil and coolant at a slow rate. Nothing drastic is what I mean. I am figuring that either the upper or lower intake gaskets may be the culprit. What would the tell tale signs of either failure be? I see...

    Light banging noise

    So yesterday my son says that the brakes are grinding. So after inspection, the front rotors, pads, and rubber brake lines were changed out. While doing the passenger side I noticed that the sway bar end link had lost the bottom nut, hit the lower control arm, and had been bent. So I changed out...

    Oil filter question

    Not an oil thread. I just got rid of my '08 Cadillac DTS and have 5 Napa Gold oil filters (#1522) sitting on my shelf. Does anyone know if this filter will work on my sons '04 GT1? Don't wanna throw the filters out if I can use them on the 3.8 without having oil issues. TIA Don

    2004 no start

    So this morning I was changing the abs wire harnesses on my sons '04 GT. I started the car and drove it up on ramps. Spliced in the new harnesses and went to start the car. No dice.

    ABS and TC off and Buick dealer

    My sons '04 GT is having an issue. ABS and TC go off after hitting the brakes a time or two. This leads me to believe we have a bad hub. So I go to the local Buick dealer to ask them what they would charge to just read the code so I can know which hub is causing the issue. Literally a two or...

    Serpentine belt

    Went to change the serpentine belt on my sons '04 GT today. Bought an AC Delco 6K905. Removed the old belt and could not get the new one on. Tried and tried but it will not go on. I measured it up against the old belt and if there is any difference there is like an eighth of an inch. The new...
