• 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.

    '04 Door Lock Actuator - Part Number Suggestion

    Do I need just the door actuator when replacing the driver's side lock or should I go ahead and get the whole assembly, actuator, assembly, latch, etc? Looks to me to go with the assembly for an easier swap out but wanted to know if anyone has experience with this. Let me know, thanks.

    Cracked Radiator?

    '04 GP with 259k on it. So i had to replace one of the transmission line bungs on the radiator it was the lower bung. I replaced the lower radiator hose and in doing so tweaked the bung because it started leaking there right after the hose install. Bung went in fine and it looked like I stopped...

    Purge Valve or Fuel Pump issue?

    '04 GP with 259k on it. I've been having an intermittent issue that I think I have narrowed down. There have been a handful of times, the car would crank and not start right away. I replaced the battery terminals (corrosion) and refreshed the body ground as well as adding another ground to see...

    DIY Shift kit, still there after Professional rebuild?

    04' GP with 259k on it. I installed a shift kit around 145k with a fluid change. Around 190k the tranny finally went. I had it rebuilt by a reputable place. I wanted to know if during the rebuild would they have removed or altered the shift kit at all, or can I assume it's still there. I plan on...

    Bad Oil Pressure Sensor?

    '04 GP with 258k on it. Last night stopped at a gas station. Started the car and the oil pressure light/sensor tripped (not the oil level) and had this warning. Put the car in park and it went off. Waited a second and then put in reverse, it popped up again but then disappeared once more. Drove...

    Leaking input shaft seal DIY

    I have an '04 GP 256k on the clock. Looks like I have a leaking input shaft seal and wanted to know the difficulty in replacing. I've done quite a bit and realize this would mean taking the tire, caliper, tie rod end, lower strut bolts, axle nut all off. I wasn't sure how difficult it is to...

    Engine Stall with MAF plugged in, unplugged revs high

    I just changed out the power steering pump and did the water pump with everything off. I also did the LIM as I had a small leak out of the sides. I put everything back together and now it will crank and start for a second but then die right away. I had the ignition control module checked which...

    GM Tech Tool options vs. Innova OBD

    Have a '04 GP. I'm looking for some better options to the Innova OBD tool that I currently use. Is the GM Tech Tool2 a good fit for the GP? Not looking to break the bank but I want a scanner I can do more with than a mid-level Innova that I have now, thanks!

    Repetitive Engine Squeal

    '04 GP with 252k on the clock. I have to admit I am completely stumped by an engine squeal I cannot seem to kick. So earlier this year in January I developed an engine squeal that I attributed to bad alternator bearings. The pulley on the alternator would turn but it made a bit of noise so it...

    '04 Rear Suspension Bushings

    For the trailing and lateral arms, I only see rear rearward and rear forward bushings. I also assume I have the names of the arms correct. One pair of trailing arms and then a front pair of lateral arms and a rear pair of lateral arms. The confusion comes from the bushings and making sure I have...

    LIM fiber or similar gaskets

    I recently did the LIM gaskets and I used the supplied fiber gaskets (with the orange seal on them) for the thermostat housing and a rectangular coolant passage cover on the LIM. I've found now that both are leaking slightly or appeared to be fouled and if I should just pull the t-housing and...

    LIM or Valve Cover Gasket Oil Leak

    '04 with 227k on it, recently replaced the LIM gasket about 10k ago. I've got an oil leak in between the LIM and the valve cover (both sides). When I installed the LIM I torqued to specs and then went back over and snugged/double checked each bolt with a 1/16-1/8 turn just to be sure as the...

    Power Steering Leak

    Looks like I have a PS leak from the plastic reservoir. I assume the PS pump and reservoir are one unit so its a total replacement but wanted to confirm. Let me know, thanks.
