• 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.

    Can't Turn Key to Off

    Well after spending an entire weekend replacing the brake lines, my son called me from school and said he couldn't get the key out of the ignition. I went there, left him my car and took the GTP home. A quick Google search indicates that this is a common problem. Where do I begin trouble shooting?

    Replacing Brake Lines - 2003 GTP

    One of the rear lines popped on our 2003 GTP. It looks like right at the bracket that attaches it to the lower firewall. Got looking at it and none of the lines look good. I'm going to replace them all. It does not look like any fun. Anyone done it? Tips or tricks? As an aside, we still had...

    Stock Spoiler Studs?

    Hi all - The stock spoiler on our '03 GTP was letting water into the truck. The decklid was also rusting under the wing. So I removed the spoiler today. 3 of the 6 studs wouldn't come out - they spun in place. I was finally able to remove the spoiler by grabbing the studs with needlenose...

    Oil Pressure Sender

    So after a painful weekend swapping out the lower intake manifold gaskets it was a relief to have the car leak free. Until today, not even 48-hours later. My son left for work and I headed out soon after. There was a Valdez-sized puddle of oil where his car had been sitting. Thankfully he works...

    Ignition Switch?

    The trip computer/boost gauge on our '03 GTP started to go off and on intermittently. When it does this, I can hear clicking in the area of the parking brake (I think - I don't hear very well so it's tough to isolate sounds sometimes). Now it's getting worse - it's doing it more often and will...

    3800 Intake Manifold Gaskets - Kicking our Butts

    Okay, we've got about 10 hours into this stupid intake manifold gasket replacement. Finally got it all buttoned up, turned the key and the right, rear injector is leaking badly. I am so done with this job. Love the car but this particular job sucks. The kicker is that the gaskets had already...

    HVAC Mode Selector , A/C Light and Blend Actuator

    I only drove my son's 2003 GTP once on the day we got it. Today I get in it to run a quick errand and the mode selector knob on the HVAC control breaks off in my hand. Naturally it's my fault that it's broken now. So I have questions. The mode selector shaft did not want to turn, hence the...

    Lifter Tap When Cold

    Our newly acquired '03 GTP has a pretty loud lifter tap when it's cold. It has 72k miles on it. It takes a few minutes at idle to go away, or will go away almost immediately if you rev it up a bit a couple of times or simply start driving it. It doesn't do it when it's warmed up if you restart...

    2003 GTP - Front Left Door Speakers Dead

    I have a 2003 GTP with the Bose system and OnStar. The right front door speakers do not work - both the the woofer and the tweeter are dead. We wanted to replace the factory head unit anyway, so we did. It's a Kenwood single-DIN that we got from Crutchfield. Yeah their prices are a little higher...

    '03 GTP Engine Questions: Oil and Coolant Temp

    Hi all - I just picked up a 72k-mile '03 GTP. It runs and drives great. The previous owner replaced a ton of parts in September of last year, including valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket, coolant temp sender and thermostat. So, I have a couple of questions. 1) I smell oil. It's not leaving...

    "New" 2003 GTP

    Hi all - I just picked up a 2003 GTP for my son. It's Victory Red with 72k miles on it and I bought it from the original owner. It was really well maintained and I have lots of service records for it. I do have a couple of questions about it that I'll post in the Engine Tech forum. I look...
