    Will AGX shocks be too aggressive?

    I have an 02 GTP 40th Anniversary with about 70k on it. When i bought it, i swapped used Moog front shocks to it and bought new/old stock Gabriel's from eBay for the rear. Well long story short, the rear struts are making crazy noises. Actually seems like the right rear now will knock side to...

    4T65E - The Never Ending Story

    This post isnt about a problem or question I have. Just wanted to share a good laugh. Just before I put the GTP away this past winter, I had a humming/whine when Id let off the throttle.

    Differential

    Im looking for a stock 4T65E-HD differential. Prefer if its lower miles. My car only have 55k on it so who would want to put one in that has 100k on it? I just need the differential itself, not the output shaft or anything. Thanks

    An early Christmas gift from my Transmission

    I was finally able to log in :th_clapping: The other day I performed a pan drop and shift kit install on my 40th anniversary GTP that has only 56k on it. I found this little guy on my magnet: Its a spring pin. And only half of it was there. I cracked open the filter and there wasnt really...

    Screeching Tranny

    If you start the car in park or neutral, about 3 seconds after the car has started, theres a very very high pitch screech... If you move it to reverse, it stops. Also goes for Drive. But if you put it in Neutral, it will do it again. We started the car in park with the screeching and pushed...

My 195 degree thermostat was replaced around January 2014 due to the old one only ever getting to 170 degrees. My car ran at 190 this summer. I do have a hole drilled it...
