• 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.

    Goodbye GM...

    In September I was in a accident and totaled my '04 Impala SS. I was really disappointed as I wanted to give the Imp to my boys as their first car, but $#!t happens. I've had a history of seizures, and minutes after the accident I apparently had my third. I don't remember having any of them as I...

    My wife is a bad person

    And that's the most polite way I can say what she's done. Get ready for a rant... We have been separated for 4 years. I finally realized that it wasn't going to work. So I filed for the divorce in October. Last week, I learn from my lawyer, not from my wife, that my 6 year old daughter is not...

    Nothing going well for me...

    I got the cherry on my sh!t Sundae yesterday when I was called into a meeting to discuss the recent reorganization for the team I'm on. I'm told that they needed a new position in my office, and to fund that position, they decided to eliminate my position. I can take this new position, as I'm...

    2000 Grand Prix GT Coupe

    I'm too lazy to repost everything. Here's a link to my Craiglist post: 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GT Coupe TL;DR - 204,000 miles, $1800 dollars. GOOD: Check my signature BAD: Some body damage, A/C doesn't work right, probably just needs refrigerant, wiper fluid motor out. No carpet

    Squeaky window when rolling up

    My driver's side window squeaks/screeches when I'm rolling it up. Any ideas where I could lubricate the glass? I've tried a percussive fix, but that hasn't worked.

    A/C motor or out of coolant?

    My A/C isn't blowing cold air, just blowing air. Doesn't work at defrost either to blow cold air. When I change the temp to hot, it blows hot. And all through this, the A/C motor is loud. Bad A/C, no coolant, or both? The easy way to find the problem is take it to a shop near me that does free...

    Fuel pump recommendations?

    My fuel level sensor unit is out. My car has 176,000 miles, and I intend to make it another 100k. Anyway, with this many miles, I might as well replace everything, since a new pump has the sensor, right? AC/Delco through RockAuto is about $275, but there are some that are slightly above $100...

    Squishy brakes after replacing them. Replace boots and pin covers?

    I replaced my front brakes a while ago. The brakes had about 40k, so they did have to be replaced. While removing the caliper bolt, I pulled out one of the rubber slides - NOT the boot. Every other time I've changed the brakes, that slide never came out. I've always used plenty of grease on the...

    Sell or rebuild?

    I just noticed while coming into work today that GP was running at 3400 RPMs and not shifting into OD. I've got about 170,000 miles on it, and it had a junkyard tranny on it when I bought it at 83,000 miles. So I'm not shocked that it's gone. I just don't know if it will be worth it to have the...

    P0401 code now...

    I "fixed" the P0121 I had by replacing my TPS. This morning I got a P0401 code, which is the EGR. Reading the threads, I suspect that one of the tubes running from the EGR is dirty, but I don't know exactly where on the engine that tube is, and how easy it will be to clean it out. I believe it's...

    GM hub assembly warranty?

    I may not get anything out of it, but the hub I replaced last weekend was previously replaced two years/35,000 miles ago. I'm pretty sure it was a GM hub assembly, since the shop receipt says it was $240. I know some of the better hubs have 3 year warranties, but they may only offer that to the...

    Bad hub, which ones to buy?

    Appears one of my hubs is shot, since I've got a nice growl coming from the front end. Brakes, tires, and rotors were replaced last year, so I'm pretty sure that's not one of those items. I bought Timkens for my Impala earlier this year when they had to be replaced, so I'd prefer to go with...

    Hesitation at 2000 RPMs

    I've been getting a little hesitation and RPM bouncing at around 2000 RPMs when in the higher gears. Plugs have recently been changed, no codes thrown. Any ideas what it could be? Bad MAF maybe? I've replaced it once with a junk yard one, so it's possible. Thoughts?

    Living on borrowed tranny time?

    A little back story. I bought my GP off eBay a little over three years ago. Didn't do any kind of inspection on it, so it that sense I got what I paid for. :o It was a pretty good deal I thought, until I got it home and took it to a shop. Among other things that were just wear from an 8 year old...

    Fog Light replacement

    What's the best way to change a fog light? From the back of the light, or front? What do I need to unscrew to change the bulb? I've climbed underneath to take a look, but it was a bit difficult to tell exactly what needed to be disconnected.

    3 codes thrown, could it be a short?

    Checked my codes again today, and picked up a third one. Now I have the following three codes: P0102 Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Low Input P0135 Oxygen O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1, Sensor 1) P0443 Evaporative Emission System Purge Control Valve Circuit I can still drive...

    P0443 and P0102 after spark plug change

    Tried to change my plugs this morning, but it was hot and I couldn't rotate the engine forward enough. During the work, I removed my K&N filter hoping that would give me some more rotation. It didn't give much, so I decided to call it a day. Anyway, when I took the car out, SES light was on...

    Easy way to install a new wheel stud?

    One of my wheel studs got stripped as I was putting the lug net back on. I got the bad stud out fine with a hammer. Now I'm hoping to put the new stud in without removing the hub. Any suggestions? This is for a front wheel. I can't get a good angle with a hammer.

    Removing rear rotors

    I'm probably missing something, but I can't get the rear rotors off. Tire is off, calipar is off. I found the two TORX screws behind the rotor. The one closest to the rear is a little difficult to get to but I can loosen it and can remove it easily. The other TORX screw is behind the parking...
