    P0128 code for a LS nonbeliever ('15 5.3 Silverado)

    Well I have to dive into this with my '15 Silverado but figured it might be something others may have pop up on their LS powered G. After driving home from work tonight I had both fans kick into full scream as I was parking the truck & noticed the temp gauge sitting only at 160 with no CEL on...

    Some 130 SI alternator swap info

    Not sure how helpful this will be but it should get things in the right direction to swap in a 130 SI alternator into our cars. I know others have done this over the years with no issue at all & know just what to do to do the swap but this would still be some good info for those who never done...

    Electric gurus, can a '81 delay wiper switch work a '84 & newer delay motor?

    This has been on my mind for sometime if it could be possible to operate a '84-'88 delay wiper motor with a '80-'81 dash mounted delay switch. I know the '83 & older has the power circuit going to the motor, ground to the switch. "84 & newer is reversed. The idea is to switch my '81's power to...

    TCP Global, has anyone used their paints?

    In the search for any venders for paint for Jr.'s Monte I came across TCP Global out in Nevada. From what I get into on the site they can mix the 69/WA8031 dark brown metallic & gives me the option for lacquer besides base/clear & single stage. As with the title, has anyone ever used there...

    9/11, 23 Years Later

    Always remember. Never forget. Honor those we lost. Teach those who were not around about it. Thank those who were & willing to put service ahead of themselves. Division means nothing when something affects all. Never underestimate. Always be ready.

    GM 1626895 Parking Brake Pedal Pad

    I figured since I have put these pads on both Monte's parking brake pedals I should post a pic of the pad itself just as a referencefor those who might want a matching pedal pad. They seem to be in very early '90's Buicks, Olds & Cadiliacs. Possible very late '80s models. They do have the...

    Clutch rod boot, 2nd gen F body aren't the right one.

    I ran into an old issue today, ordered a clutch rod boot for Jr.'s car to find out it's another 2nd gen F body one. Ordered it from Dixie Restoration Depot since the web site & most current catalog shows the correct one for our cars. Even ordered the one for my car from them many moons ago when...

    Finally after all these years after OPGI anounced they were going to offer Chevy A/G dashes for '78-'80 & '81-'88 I broke down & bought one for my '81 Monte.

    I know readership of print has gone down greatly & lots of good magazines have left us. But there were a few still around even if they weren't as good as they used to be. Then there was what I saw today at the magazine section at the one grocery store I go to, the new Hot Rod magazine. Picked it...

    Looks like another G dies by demo with out the chance to give its parts to another.

    I thought last week I was going to be able to make a deal on parts with a co-worker who said he lucked into a '79 Monte with out a title for $500. Said he's going to demo it dispite claiming it was a pampered car that had to go cause of the title issue. Told him I'd buy what I needed plus trade...
