• 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.

    2008 kicked into limp mode and doesn't want to shift out of Park. Help.

    First thing I would do is verify that all the battery cables and ground connections are CLEAN and tight. A bad ground will cause all kinds of havoc. I've had a bad connection completely kill my GP from starting just because the neg. cable was slightly loose on the battery. Here are some...

    1979 GP diagram

    I'd be willing to bet that member Idrivejunk could find it. I know he's around here from time to time.

    Frost White GTP

    Nice looking Holden Ute. That a V8 version?

    A long Lost GTX

    I hope that car goes to someone who will actually use it and not drive it into the ground. Looks like it would clean up super nice.

    04' GTP 2 won't start.

    I'm sure you've tested the battery voltage when you hit the key, but if it dives below 10 it's not gonna crank. It sounds like the battery is toast. Other than that, check all your cables/grounds. Sitting for 2 months is no good on the battery. I played this game all late fall/winter with my...

    Turn Signal Switch Fitment Issue

    Best bet is to search car-parts.com. That switch is specific to the GXP with TapShift and there is no aftermarket switch avail. that I know of. You may be able to cobble together a new switch using the old one as parts.

    Radiator fan issue

    Sounds like a wiring issue for sure. Just follow the high fan connector up and find where it runs into the main harness. I want to say it runs into the harness that is along the radiator support but I'd have to look at mine to be sure. Grab a meter and probe the wires on the high side fan...

    F off winter!

    Well it appears we got a "hot flash" and warmed up to 48* today. Finally nice enough to fire up the 96 F150, '95 Bonne and my GP without subzero temps. My alternators say "thank you", lol.

    F off winter!

    Ok, I'm done with this cold BS. Trying to work on cars in these temps is just about impossible anymore. My hands do not appreciate the cold like they used to. Hell, even my beer slushed up tonight when I went out to fire up the cars to keep the batteries hot, lol.. I hope this snow ends soon...

    Thank you, good night, we love you too, Ozzy

    I'll just leave this here.. Words hard to find right now for all the years you've entertained us, but thank you. I'm grateful for the 10 times I got to see you live over the years. Rock In Peace :th_rockon1: Since I'm a huge Blues fan I can't forget this shot, lol..

    Smoke test help for 3800 series 2 engine running lean, HELP PLEASE

    I'll pass on some info that is pertinent to the UIM/LIM job that I always use. It's the bolt tightening pattern and torque specs for the LIM and UIM. Follow those and you'll be good. Note on this pic- the #5 bolt is the unmarked one under #11. I have used 15 ft/lbs with no issues...

    Subframe mount change?

    This --> Plus this--> Means I never have to worry about that ****ty oil sending unit leaking again. The oil gauge sending unit that goes with this gauge replaces the factory POS and doesn't leak. I've only worn one out, but no leaks.

    To replace lifters or not???

    I will be doing the LIM gaskets on a 2008 L26 engine that has 143K on it currently. While I am in that far would it be worth while to change all the lifters? I can get a new set of Morel 7717's for around $210. I would get GM LS7 lifters but those have more than doubled in price and I can't...

    Injector o rings and spacer

    Got around to replacing my injector o-rings tonight. 3 of my injectors have had the pintle cap missing for ages with no ill effects. Installing the new lower orings I just use a dab of rtv to keep the oring and the small plastic ring above it in place. Reinstall went fine. Everything seats...
