• 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.

    Low voltage on 2000 GTP headlights?

    What should the voltage reading be at the headlight connectors? My headlights seem absurdly dim even for our cars. I checked with my multimeter and the passenger headlight was reading about 10.2v and the driver headlight about 10v. I'm assuming these should be right around 12v, and might account...

    WTB Crosslace wheels or other set of 4

    I have a 2000 GTP, and specifically I need one crosslace wheel, but am willing to buy in a pair, or set of 4 if that's all that you're willing to do. If not the crosslace wheels then I may be interested in a set of 4 wheels that would fit a 2000 with no modifications. Located near Dallas, TX. No...

    Oil leak again...sort of

    Okay, so this is kind of baffling me. I had thought that my car was still leaking after doing LIM gasket, valve covers, and oil pan, then it stopped after I gave it a cleaning. I've had the front end of the car lifted up twice since then, and the same problem has occurred. I get some small oil...

    Heavy into reverse

    Yesterday my 2000 GTP started getting a little heavy going into reverse from neutral or park. No bad noises or anything, just a much heavier than usual thump. I changed the filter and fluid today as it was in need of it, and that didn't seem to do much of anything for it. The magnet had the...

    Trans pan gasket

    I got a replacement filter from Autozone that comes with a new gasket. The gasket is just smooth rubber though. Should that be okay, or should I go ahead and get the Felpro gasket that has the ridges on it? My old one is leaking, so I have to replace it no matter what. Thanks, Steve

    AC fixed, now floorboard is wet again

    So I replaced the compressor and got my AC working about 1.5 months ago. I also put on a new drain plug. Up until yesterday condensation was draining great. There was always a nice big puddle of water forming under the car. This morning there was just a tiny little 2" puddle, and the passenger...

    Ignition getting stuck again

    I was having a problem with my 2000 GTP where the key would come out in the ACC position and not turn to OFF. I replaced the ignition switch about a month ago, and that seemed to fix things. Yesterday it happened again though. The screwdriver in the column worked to get it to turn off, but...

    Sway bar damage?

    is it possible to bend a sway bar with the bushing bolt? I was tightening the end link on the driver side the first time, and the nut went past the threads somehow. It didn't even feel like I was turning the ratchet that hard and then the nut just went much looser. Now the sway bar is sitting...

    Can't remove passenger axle

    I'm trying to get a passenger side axle out of my 2000 GTP, and it just will not release. I'm not keeping tension on it. I have a pry bar with the hooked end sort of hanging on the axle since the straight part can't get purchase anywhere. I have pushed, I have kicked. I'm about to go golfing...

    Leaking head gasket?

    So I have now finished replacing valve cover gaskets, lim gasket, and oil pan gasket over the last couple weeks. I think I still have a leak. The valve cover and lim gaskets were done about 10 days ago. I only wiped down the top part of the heads by the valve covers, I didn't get to clean the...

    These brackets are cursed

    I was redoing my oil pan gasket, and lower motor mount, and due to the failure of the previous mount my U shaped bracket was taking on more of a W shape. So I decided now would probably be the best time to do it. Yes, the bolts were a bit of a pain to get off, but it gets worse for me. I went...

    Tools suggestion needed

    I'm considering getting some air tools, but I really don't work on the cars too often. Maybe once every couple months at most. I guess what I'm really wanting most though is an impact to help with the axles and such. As nice to have as they would be, I don't think I really *need* ratchets. So...

    Struts, or struts and springs?

    The struts on the 2000 GTP are well due for a replacement. There is excessive pogoing, and just terrible suspension cushioning all around. I'm probably going to get the KYB GR2s, as I'm not looking for any kind of performance suspension. What is the best way to tell if I also need new springs...

    LIM corrosion/pitting

    I figured it would, but I was out, and couldn't attach at that time. Here are a couple pics.

    LIM corrosion/pitting

    I got my LIM off of my 2000 GTP and was cleaning it up and noticed that I have some pitting in the square section against the gasket between cylinders 2 and 4. When I removed it, it had a layer of coolant sludge just sitting on it. The port on the head that it sits against likewise had a nice...
