• 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.

    New Ticking Noise Cold Start

    The GP SE 3100 has been going strong for awhile now. Haven't really had to work on it. It's sitting at 87k miles now. The other day I started noticing a new ticking noise that seems to come somewhere from the underside of the engine on a cold start. Cold start meaning like 85 degrees outside...

    EGR error code and weird hesitation

    Recently started getting P0406. Did the typical EGR unplug and reset procedure, which usually gets rid of it, but it keeps coming back. Likely carboned up this time. Around the same time I noticed a weird hesitation only at a certain pedal location. Feels like a heavy misfire. Seems to happen...

    Got a love tap in the a*s of my car

    I was driving and a driver didn't stop in time and lightly kissed the passenger rear of my GP while I was sitting at a light. It was a glancing blow as the driver was maneuvering to avoid. Luckily no serious body damage, just paint loss on the bumper, not even a crack. I pulled the tail light...

    New CV Shafts Clunk

    So as you all know I replaced my CV shafts last week. My transmission has always had a clunk when shifting between drive and reverse. I'm guessing that's somewhat normal given I have had the car since low miles (33k), plus my previous vehicle with a 4t60e also did it until I got rid of it at...

    CV Shaft Replacement Question

    I'm replacing my CV shafts. I slid the new one onto the drivers side and locked it in place around with the retaining c clip. The CV shaft is locked in, because I can't pull it back out. But the CV shaft has a little in and out play where it sets into the transmission. Not the actual...

    Leaking CV shafts and rack and pinion

    I need an opinion on some leaks. Both CV shafts are leaking grease out of the trans side clamps, forming a perfect line/pile of sprayed grease on everything around them. Have been leaking for over a year now. No tears in the boots at all. Should I just run em until they start to make noise...

    Starter Grinding

    I have noticed the starter grinding for a split second after I start the car. It's not bad once the engine has warmed up, but those first starts in the cold mornings are terrible. I'm hesitant to let it roll for fear of having to replace the flexplate. What do you all recommend? Has anyone...

    Grand Prix's get stolen?

    Random thing here, but my dad called me and said his Chrysler Sebring got stolen. So I went and looked at the most recent most stolen list and was shocked to find that the Grand Prix was on there. One of the most stolen cars in my home state of Indiana, actually. I travel there very...

    Sale OEM heads and tails, aftermarket black corners

    97-03 GP parts. Car was hardly driven and garage kept until I got it, old person car status. I continued to keep it in a garage for all but the past year, and these lights have been off for a few months. Everything is in good condition. I switched everything for aftermarkets. Chicago and...

    Gradual loss of power

    Hey guys, My 01 GP SE with 62,000 miles has slowly lost power over time. For example at take off I can push the pedal down half way and it basically acts like I'm hardly pushing it. It just feels like it chugs up to 2,000 RPM, but once you get over that it feels completely normal. It doesn't...

    Question about Headlights (Round 2)

    Okay so I'm thinking of switching to the black "factory" headlight housings, not the tinted ones, but the painted ones. Just have a few quick questions: 1) Will it reduce light output? It looks like the reflector itself isn't painted, but I was hoping someone has used them and knows for sure...

    Changing passenger airbag cover

    So my airbag cover got a split in the vinyl due to my own stupidity. I have the freaking tan interior to make matters worse. Luckily it was JUST the SRS cover. Bare with me it's a long story... I got the original panel out by CAREFULLY prying up on the front of it. Taking care not to compress...

    LED tails

    Looking to buy some good condition LED tails. Will wanna see pictures as I'll need them to last another several years. Specifically hoping to get the smoked red, but I'm not particularly picky if the price is right.
