    FS: 2001 Grand Prix GTP Coupe, 119,700 miles, NE Ohio

    I have decided to sell my clean 2001 Bronzemist Grand Prix GTP Coupe, with 119,700 miles. It is fully optioned out - Bose, moonroof, Heads-up display, GTP. I am selling because I need something with 4 doors now that I have a kid. (putting a kid in a carseat in the back is no easy task!) I used...

    PS leak. What line is this? Part #?

    Have a pretty significant power steering leak that has gotten worse. It seems this metal line has rusted and rubbed against the brace which has caused the leak. What line is this? It seems to snake down and around the undercarriage and back up. You can see the leak actively occurring -- small...

    Squeaky belt

    I noticed the past few times I drove my GP there was lots of belt squeal. The belts are relatively new. I examined and found them still in great condition. I examined the pulleys and found that the supercharger belt on the crank pulley is 1 rib off. It's weird. Not sure how this could happen...

    Replacing stock HU in my 01 GTP, Bose w/ Onstar

    Crutchfield says I need this $85 wiring kit for the Bose system. Really? http://www.crutchfield.com/p_120GMOS04/Metra-GMOS-04-Wiring-Interface.html Then this adapter to retain stock steering wheel controls...

    Had to remove my window tint :(

    When I first got my GP, I had the windows tinted. 20% all around except for the windshield. The legal limit in Ohio is 50% light transmission on the front door windows. Including the factory tint, it's about 12%. I know it's 12% because I've been pulled over by bored cops 4 times. Each time...

    01 GTP, aux input using cassette tape module

    I have an auxiliary input for my stock radio using the cassette tape module that was found on other GM models. I put a dummy tape into the cassette player and it plays the tape but the audio aux cable runs out to my center console so I can plug it into my phone. This setup worked fine for...

    What are these lines? Transmission? Power steering?

    I am addressing a few leaks on my 01 GTP. I know it has a power steering leak, because the pump whines loudly and I have to top it off often. I'm not sure if this is a power steering line, or a transmission line. I checked both today, and found both to be low. It's a red fluid that is leaking...

    Someone take a picture of your passenger side door hinges

    While I'm fixing all the issues on this GP, I am revisiting this old one. Since I've had the car, the passenger side door does not stay open. There is no resistance in the passenger door hinge at the med and wide open positions, so the door will swing shut. I noticed today that the spring on the...

    Are the 97-03 HVAC control units interchangeable?

    Mine came with the dual slider controls. I think the drivers side slider is shorting out. I replaced my drivers side blend door actuator but I think the problem still remains where it will "hunt" around. This is the one I have: Morad Auto Parts is very near me, but they don't have any of...

    Interior lights don't work

    I've had my 01 GP for about 5 years now and the interior lights have never worked. Not a single one. They are controlled by a 10A fuse. If I replace the fuse, it pops right away, so clearly there is a short somewhere. I've had the headliner down once, but was never able to find the short...

    Poly dogbone bushings

    Need to replace my dogbone bushings. Looks like my local NAPA has solid bushings, but they are expensive, $50 each. Intense has these, looks nice. http://intense-racing.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=IR&Product_Code=3800-PRO-FUM-xxx&Category_Code=3800_BS What have others...

    Broken spring

    I'm always posting new broken **** with this GP. I'm so mad with it. Fix one thing, another thing breaks. I pulled into my driveway and heard a huge clunk. It was coming from the rear. I pulled the wheel off and found this: The spring is broke. Rubbed up against the tire but not enough to...

    Leaking power steering fluid.

    Took a trip and found the power steering pump was making all kinds of noise. I filled it up with some of the leak stop steering fluid, and found a puddle under the passenger side of the front end the very next day. I haven't taken it all apart yet, but from what I've read, could be the pump or...

    Blender door or HVAC control unit problem?

    I have a 2001 GTP with dual slider air/heat controls. I took a road trip today, and noticed that with the A/C on, sometimes the drivers side would blow cold, then go warm, then go cold again. The passenger side is always cold. It seems intermittent, and I can sometimes fix it by wiggling the...

    I need a catback exhaust

    My second catback has rusted out thanks to the Cleveland winters. The stock one lasted the longest. Then, I bought a used Dynomax from someone on another forum, and it lasted about 2 years. Not looking for performance here, just something quiet and inexpensive to get the car back on the road...
