  • I registered for Motor City to support them but I already know that I can’t make it. Michigan has eight home games this season. The first four is every Saturday in September. Ugh! I hate when car show and college football seasons collide!
    I will make Labor Day at the church though.

  • Not coming from the front. Not an engine issue. Waiting on nap time round here to take it on a short trip round the block and out to pavement. Rear end would not make such a grinding noise. Nor would the noise go away. Only one spot that was shiny from contact was the backing plate that looks like it's missing 2-3in of material. Thinkin maybe it ground itself down, but that doesn't work as the rear wheels were on the ground towing it all the way to the shop and then drove it most of the way Home before prob.
    Next question, I see maybe 3 shows left. Labor day show,(Sept 7th) another church show, I've heard alot of good things about ( 10-10) and Motor city Bakers. (9-13) You gonna make any?

  • Check the owners manual and the internet. I believe OnStar has a dedicated fuse buried somewhere.
    I personally want to install an auto stop eliminator in my '26 GMC Sierra. My wife's '24 Traverse has this "feature" too. Its annoying AF to have the car constantly stop and start at stop signs and traffic signals. You can disable it while you are in the car but once you leave and come back, it's automatically re-enabled and you to have manual disable it again. So the auto stop eliminator will let me turn it off and it stays off. Sure it might save some gas but it's sure hard on the starter.

  • Could the grinding be coming from your diff? Do you need some posi-lube or is the diff oil low? BB did that to me a for a long time. I finally added a bottle of post-lube and a diff oil change while on Power Tour in 2024 and she's been quiet ever since.
    How do the bearings look on the U-joints?
    Any chance the front rotors are warped?
    I am spit balling at this point.

  • Bought copper lines instead of Inline. He bent em up perfectly and called to say it's ready. Took the GTO for a test romp and was sooo happy. 10 - 15 mi run home. Then came the grinding noise. Sounded like the driveshaft was dragging. Bumped it and it jumped forward so driveshaft is ok. I'm on side of road and can find nothing wrong. Driveshaft is riding perfectly in the middle of safety loop. Drove it to the next rd and got off highway, Again can find nothing wrong but gawd is making noise. It's in drivetrain, noise doesnt change with engine RPM. Got home N threw it up on stands, it will not make a noise now. Proceeds to a no start hissyfit. Fine...sit there N rust ya B'ia. Car has never sat outside since I brought it home back in 06. Proceeded to finish cleaning the SunBird Only to have that a no start as well. Fuel pump is crankin away, but no pressure. The pump gave me fits last year. Dropped in a new set of plugs in the GTO, have never pulled anything out that badly fouled. Don't know if was the bad 3 yr old gas or what. Put the GTO back in the air and pulled rear wheels to check brakes. It has to be a broken spring, retainer or something. NOPE one small spot on the backing plate has worn shiny. I straightened that out and spent better than an hour cleaning polishing the rim N tire. Have had maintenance to mess with my lawn tractor, Mel's G6, Muddy roads have kept me from driving or getting the Sunbird in a position to change the damn fuel pump. Now that the GTO is running well again, need to get out and have a new TV cable installed and adjusted with the trans guy. Running short of summer and I haven't been to a show yet,

  • Sharp carrrrosover. I'm worried about the 2 in of parking clearance to the Pontiac

  • Not much to show, it’s an SUV oohh excuse me it’s a crossover! What the heck’s the difference?! It’s a truck with no bed!
    I would note a few things. The vehicle is very well made, very precision! Quality materials, even the wood inlays are real wood, seats are real leather, the whole seat not just the center panels like some cars. Now the bad! The 3.6 has AFM, is & always was a horrible idea! Now GM has encrypted the ECU so it’s going to be more difficult to figure out how to disable it!
    It also has the dreaded OnStar.! Which spy’s on you, so as soon as I find where the hell they hid the damn module it will be being put to sleep for good! Other than that I just love new cars!

  • Hello,
    Well, she is sort of dead again. Pictures later today but the Cat has suffered another Cold Case aluminum radiator failure - likely again too thin of a tubing wall material, even for a thirteen PSI radiator cap. The only saving grace here - now on my fourth Cold Case radiator failure - has been a very good lifetime warranty replacement policy. And I will not be asking for a replacement again because ultimately, its a waste of time. These have failed on my El Camino and my Catalina too many times and the local radiator repair shop says they are not repairable.
    Besides the trouble here, these failed radiators fit very nicely on the core support with two electric fans, the pipe fittings on the correct side and a tight fitting shroud. It'll be tough to beat here, at least on these aspects.
    Its too hot for me to proceed here today until tonight but I will try to get pictures, mostly of the Dexcool mess under the car and along the bottom of the radiator. The metal fan shroud hides where the real problem is within the 1.25 inch-wide tubing.

  • Meeting up wIth B52 and Indyman was great. I think he thoroughly enjoyed a top down tour of Wiodward and Pontiac.

  • Update on deadly unreliable bumper jacks.
    I've learned that General Motors didn't manufacture these, they were contracted out.
    Here is a picture of what the real McCoy should look like.
