• 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.

    Non-standard idler pulley bolt?

    So I went to change my tensioner and idler pulleys tonight, all went well EXCEPT my 3.5" smooth idler. I don't seem to have a 15mm bolt on this one... it's more like some kind of a star pattern in the middle? Is anybody familiar with this? Documentation I see seems to list 15mm bolts for all...

    Parking Brake Thumping/Stuck On?

    I replaced the pads/rotors on my 2000 GP the other night. My parking brake didn't work previously, but on the way home my driver-rear wheel started thumping and the parking brake appears to be stuck on. I don't want to go buy new shoes/hardware for $100+ right now... some way I can resolve...

    I got killed by a GP

    Last night a certain member and I met up in a certain city in Northern Illinois. We sat around in the 8 degree weather and talked, boring the girls to death. After we sat at Wal Mart for an hour, we decided to race. Keep in mind, my car is bone stock. 2000 GP GTP We went clear out yonder to...

    Grinding when braking?

    So, tonight, I noticed my car is grinding really loud from the passenger side when braking again. Last time, the solution to this appeared to be replacing the front lower control arm bushing. I don't think I would have managed to blow out the new bushing so quickly. I haven't jacked it up yet...

    Earthquake!

    :th_laugh-lol3: Last night, someone from the midwest was mentioning something about California and earthquakes in the chatbox. Seems like people from this area make a bigger deal about them than people from CA do... This morning I wake up to "Chicago, 4.1mag earthquake @ 4AM." I laughed.

    Radio Backlight

    Does anyone have a writeup on how to pull the radio and replace the backlight behind the display? Mine went out. Can this be replaced with a LED? I suspect that might last a little longer...

    Spark Plug Replacement??

    So I've taken the plunge and started modding my GTP. Went out and bought a 180° thermostat today, and am slowly working my way down the list of pre-mod "stuff to do." Hopefully at the end of the week I'll do a coolant flush and get rid of the Dexcool crap. I have a couple leaky bits to find and...

    Chicago paint?

    Wanting to replace a fender on the GP (drunk owner previously "oops'd"). Can buy them online for like $40, but still need to have it painted. Anyone in Chicagoland have recommendations? My car is white, so I understand it shouldn't be too difficult of a color.

    Coolant leak?

    I recently acquired a 2000 GP GTP. The engine has about 15k miles on it... the second-prior owner to me didn't take very good care of the engine, so the owner prior to me had to replace it with a new one from GM. It's been babied since then, oil changes probably twice as often as need be, only...

    Audio Wiring Tricks?

    Hey Ladies & Gents; Looking at putting a new sound system in my 00 GTP. Thinking on running Infinity Kappas and a decent amp. Not going to put in subs initially, but I'll put large gauge wire in and whatever else I need should I want to add in the future. :) Anyway, how does one typically wire...

    New Guy, 2000 Grand Prix GTP

    Hey Everyone; My name is Kyle. I live near Chicago, and drive a white 2000 Grand Prix GTP. It has some minor things it needs done to it (need to fix the dimming HUD, replace some interior lights and plastic components, new rear view, seals, soundsystem... well, more than a few things), but it's...
