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

    GrandPrixforums.net is #1.now Are there any good Chevy Pickup Truck Forums out there?

    I love GrandPrix forums. You have helped me rebuild my GTP, upgrade to sweet headers and an air cone as well as a million other things (torque, fixing my ABS issue, saving me thousands of dollars, on and on). This has been my best resource hands down for my car and my automotive knowledge...

    Storing the GTP for a 4-5 year tour to Japan

    Hello everyone. I just rebuilt a 2000 GTP with a new motor, new trans and many many other new items including headers and a cone K&N along with new tires and new paint. I have over 6k in it 5k something if you dont count the snow board gear I traded for it. At the end of this year I will go...

    Paint Stripes

    I need to paint my bumper so I thought while it was in the shop I would get some stripes added to it. I like the smaller two stripes, it looks like they might be called hash marks, that come up from the wheel well and stop right at the hood. But before I commit I want to find more info about...

    What do you think about these? Pics with car.

    So I just bought this abandoned GTP and it had a blown up motor in it so I pulled that and rebult the motor. Once I got it on the highway I noticed a wobble so I took it in and we found at least one bent rim. Junk yard wants $125 for a stock rim!!! I figured I would get all new since I need...

    Will a post cat O2 wire harness spliced into the upstream O2 sensor wire harness wk

    I have read a lot about speed daddy headers so I picked up a pair and a new longer cabled O2 sensor (for over $50) from advanced auto since that was the best I could find locally. But yesterday I went to the junkyard and for 6 dollars I got an O2 sensor but the upstream one needed was too hard...

    Anything needed before I start this brand new motor?

    I just dropped a new motor in my 2000 gtp. The only thing the book says about startingis check for oil pressure and after a few cranks it should start. Is there anything else I should do? Do I need to do anything to the computer toget it to unlearn its lean/rich bocks and do I need to set #1...

    Junk yard parts question

    I was under a GTP today in the junkyard and I noticed someone did an Cat delete. While I may never know why they did the cat delete it got me wondering what other mods may have been done and sitting in the junkyard for me to get a deal on. I went for two cars that had been in for three weeks...

    What blew up this motor?

    112,000 miles. I think it was lack of care and extra stress from the sc. BTW the boost pushed passed the piston and pushed all the oil out of the motor.

    Headers not going to fit on drop in

    Im dropping in this motor and I really wanted to drop it with the headers but I dont think I can do it. yea or na? Oh and its probably going to leak since the cross over does not line up with the headers. As long as no code Im fine until after I get it inspected for the first time.

    Saved a 2000 GTP from the junk yard...but what to do now.

    Well I didn't save it from the junkyard as much as I saved it from its owner. I noticed this car sitting in our work parking lot for about 7 months and through it was one of our guys on a long business trip as the tires were flat and it was apparent it had been sitting for some time. I sent...
