Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    FIXED: "Flutter" sound only under boost. Ideas? - 2006 Grand Prix GT

    Just started all of a sudden 2 days ago. When driving, braking, or accelerating (without boost), everything sounds normal. As soon as I step on it enough to get some supercharger boost (doesn't matter if it is a couple or all of the "boost" bars on the DIC) I get what I can best describe as a...

    WTB 17" 5-double spoke OEM wheel (opt n85) for 2006 GP GT

    My wife was kind enough to skim a curb and really gouged up one of my stock wheels. I tried local junk yards, some online yards, and ebay with no real luck, thought I would try the forums next. As noted in the title, this is for a 2006 Grand Prix GT. Here is a sample picture of what it should...

    Need Guidance: Wiring up new ABS/Trac Sensor Cable (vehicle side, not hub side)

    This is a project that I have put off too long, but many months ago, my daughter put my 2006 Grand Prix GT into a ditch, the only real damage was that the ABS/Trac Control lights would come on and go off intermittently. Well, I figured out pretty quickly that it was a short right at the...

    Supercharger bypass valve trouble

    I can't remember off the top of my head what I replaced since it was about 18 months ago, but looking back through this, it was the solenoid part # 1997244 as mentioned. Worked like a charm. I didn't have any real issues getting it out or replaced and didn't destroy any vacuum hoses though.

    Cooler line pops out at radiator. Dealership says I need a new radiator?!?! Pic

    Short version: The metal transmission line that goes to the radiator keeps popping loose and draining the transmission fluid. Dealership already had the vehicle in once. They pushed the tube back in, filled the fluids, (both of which I already had done the 1st time this happened) and charged...

    Any low cost scanner to read 2006 Grand Prix ABS code?

    I am pulling my hair out with ABS/Traction Control lights. Was told about a year ago (due to having the car in for something else) that the front driver ABS sensor wires on the wheel bearing were chaffing because a previous owner didn't put the bracket back on when they replaced the wheel...

    What could cause a "growling" vibration

    I have a 2006 GP GT that has developed what I am calling a suspension/acceleration "growl" type vibration. I still get great performance from the engine, but under moderate-hard acceleration and/or when going over "rolling" bumps on the highway, I notice both with sound and vibration sort of a...

    Front Driver Side "Clunk" Mystery. Any ideas?

    So my daughter, yes the same one that killed my 2000 GTP, put my 2006 GT into a ditch somewhat sideways. Anyway, the body damage is fixed, but the shop (picked by the insurance company) can't seem to figure out what could be causing a front end (driver side) "clunk" in the suspension. It only...

    What is the cheapest radio wiring harness - 2006 GT no Monsoon & no On-Star

    I am looking to get rid of the very base level radio in my 2006 GT. I've seen so many wiring harnesses out there, but they seem to be more for people with On-Star or the Monsoon system. I have neither. I picked up a Scosche GM2000 at Walmart for $40 but haven't opened it up because it doesn't...

    Look what I found while working on 06 audio

    I had a blown rear speaker in my 06 GT (with base radio), and I came across a lot of interesting stuff.... I noticed the following plugs after removing the rear seat. I am guessing for some aftermarket amp, but I am just guessing? While back there, I also noticed a wire hanging from the...

    Traction Control Won't Shut Off

    I picked up an '06 GT about 2 months ago, and with all of the snow since then, there is something that I've noticed. When my traction control kicks in, I can't seem to shut it off. I can press the TC button all I want, and it never shuts off. For general driving, this is OK as it helps to...

    What stereo is in my 2006 GT? Aftermarket questions...

    How do I know if I have a monsoon setup in my 2006 GT? Does it say "Monsoon" on the radio? Mine seems pretty basic. Here is a picture of what mine looks like (not my picture).... Either way, I am looking at replacing it with a Pioneer 6200BT that I had in my 2000 GTP. For some reason...

    Any aftermarket Head Unit Pics for 04+?

    Since the demise of my 2000 GTP 2 weeks ago, I am now in a 2006 GT. The factory stereo has the typical burnt out light problem, plus doesn't have all of the options that I loved about my aftermarket head unit that I put into the 2000 GTP a couple of months before the car was killed. I pulled...

    Can you replace worn buttons on '06 temperature control/DIC?

    I am looking at picking up a 2006 GT, but several of the buttons on the dash are worn completely off. I know that this is a common problem as I've seen some sort of wear on every '04+ Grand Prix that I've looked at. Can these buttons be replaced or do I need to buy whole new control unit for...

    I think my GTP is dead. :-(

    My 16 year old daughter was driving my 2000 GTP today to just go to the store and get some stuff to make brownies.... Anyway, on her way home, she clipped a parked truck and REALLY messed up the GTP. (Luckily my daughter was fine.) The control arm on the front passenger wheel literally is...
