86SS, 90k miles, original, no accidents. It's always had vibration from 55 mph up since I've owned it 5 years now with the original Goodyears and now the road force balanced new Coopers. The vibration makes the dome lamp housing buzz. Some observations and comments: rear u joint replaced 5 years...

Help me spend my money wisely and looking to update a little at a time. 1986 SS, stock for now. Looking at the Hotchkiss system. I would eventually hope to update the suspension systems. I wonder if I should start with the (adjustable)upper rear control arms? I get high speed,(60 mph+) vibration...

Asking for my brother in law. His 2013 van has 250K miles on it, battery was replaced 20K ago. Today during a warm restart the battery blew apart during start cycle - didn't even crank - turn the key - kabloom. What's the chance of the battery shorting out? How about the alternator going bad...

I have old mercury filled relays, probably 4-5 oz. Is there any demand for this or should I my city waste materials handle it? Wondering if it's worth my trouble to sell it?

-86SS, 305, stock, all emissions in place. While cruising today around 40mph I noticed it feels like an intermittent miss every few seconds but not steady - every 100 or 200 feet. At that speed the torque converter is locked. I thought it may be roughness on the road. Idle seems smooth, no CEL...

86 MCSS, 90K miles G80 rear end. I'm getting a clunk in the rear when going around corners and hitting a bump. The axle has just under 3/32" in/out motion which sounds exactly like the clunk. I inspected the C clips, axle ends and the center pin and they all show a little wear. Are there...

My white SS had white overspray on the black front end trim ---a light dusting of specks that was barely noticeable. I used lacquer thinner and a white cloth to lightly rub the black trim to clean it. The black parts were not affected by the lacquer thinner when used carefully. Test a small...

Not April Fools' related. When I was aligning the panel gaps on my 86 SS there were some difficulties. I found the door lengths were mismatched. The passenger door is 1/8" shorter than the driver's door. Both appear original - the bolts and hinges were untouched. Could you measure at the belt...

Anyone have the bushing part number? Trying to help the GM parts guy out because he can't be sure if the bushing will fit... can only find 700R4 parts. My Son is dealing with a person that's younger than the transmission.

I have rented a U Haul trailer to pick up my VW. The 2006 Sierra 1500 has the factory tow option for around 7000 lbs. If in the future I decide to look for trailers, what specs should I consider. At minimum it would need to haul my Monte Carlo. Why do some trailers have the tandems set back...

My original stock 86SS has around 90K miles. At HWY speeds there is a little body vibration. The tire shop says the tires are balanced but vibration could also be from the drums or the driveshaft. The transmission tailshaft bushing has looseness and the U joints are recent. -could the tailshaft...

Rebuilt starter, roughly a month old - stopped working, now works again. Re: 2006 GM Sierra Z71 4x4 I installed a rebuilt starter to correct a weak solenoid (no click) issue. Battery is new, ground wires were all re done, 12 V wire to starter is good. Rebuilt starter has about 30 start cycles...

Aug 7, 2016 #1 I have not yet found my car but am working on checking some out. I presently have an import hobby car but am hankering to get US Iron again. My last G body was a 79 Lemans Wagon company car that ran reliably for the 60 thou miles the two years I drove it Car history:(only the...

A good number of us put the cars to rest while the weather turns ugly for some months. Some have the luxury of a climate controlled garage where all that's needed is a dust cover. Lets throw around ideas of good and bad outdoor exposed to the elements storage. This applies to driven vehicles and...
