  1. Chemical Guys stuff is all 25% off today. Stocked up on that stuff myself.
  2. Who said minus nitrous?? Since I got rid of the Vette, it’ll just be the Camaro for awhile. When I buy another Vette it will be more geared towards autocross/track days like I should’ve kept the old one.
  3. It is the ABS module, it bolts directly to the ABS pump. There are two part numbers down there on the frame rail, one has the brake lines going in, and the other has the electrical connector. If that is the issue both have to be replaced and just the parts are stupid expensive, like $1000 or better for alot of trucks in that era. I should’ve referred to the ABS pump in my post above, sorry for the confusion.
  4. Sounds like an ABS issue. My off the cuff theory is that the ABS module developed a leak internally, and quite possibly shorted the module attached to it. I would have to spend some time operating it with a scan tool attached to get an idea of what is going on.
  5. The amount of tire spin. Perhaps the answer you intended was, supercharger.
  6. Making my 405rwhp Camaro into a 700rwhp Camaro. We’ll see but that’s the goal.
  7. Damn. Sorry to hear that, shitty to have to clean up after some loser like that.
  8. Saw your post on FB, I’ll keep it in mind for sure as I don’t have room for another dog but will pass the info along. I just don’t understand how people can have a dog and just leave it. If you cared about the dog at all you’d make sure it found a good home. Sad.
  9. Caught it Saturday morning with my wife, a fantastic movie. I have always been a fan of Carrol Shelby, and this movie didn’t disappoint with great portrayals of Shelby and Miles. If you’re going to pick certain car guys to look up to, you couldn’t do much better.
  10. Mine does have an override button, but it still has to sense that it’s hooked to a battery, ie some level of voltage. You can’t hook it up with no battery and get it to turn on, I’ve tried.
  11. I wouldn’t have to be Oprah rich, but I don’t care much for super flashy stuff and I don’t want the attention of driving something very unique. I’d probably daily a new Escalade with built motor and Maggie 2650 blower, 800-900rwhp luxury barge.
  12. I can tell you that at least some of these lithium jump packs will not even turn on if they don’t sense some voltage. I decided a little over a year ago to buy the biggest thing Matco sells, and “it’s capable of starting semis!” Lol. At least that’s what they said. It jumps most stuff, but there have been many cases where shit is totally dead and it doesn’t do shit. For use around the shop the traditional big heavy jumper with a battery in it still has a place. I realize the topic of this thread doesn’t involve heavy use and what you guys are using them for that they should work just fine. I would only want one to keep in a car for use in a pinch. I wouldn’t want one to use on a regular basis. When I need a new one for work I’ll be going back to the old style.
  13. Haha! Good to know I piss people off. I clear my windows and absolutely nothing else. Enjoy all the shit blowing off my truck lol.
  14. Sounds like it needs an automated bleed procedure to me. Sounds like this old truck has a few problems.
  15. Just another day in Columbus when people can’t handle the combination of weather and their commute at the same time.
  16. You can literally go buy the basic install kit at Walmart.
  17. Got to agree with this. Can’t expect much more then what you got.
  18. You want some drop blocks? I have a set a friend gave me but I never got around to putting them on my last S10. Not sure if the were 2 or 3”, free if you want them.

    GM 3.6L?

    Either the oil pump took a shit, or something gained a bunch of clearance in the engine. Not something I’ve seen quite like that. Seen a number of them get sludged up and not drain the oil back to the pan fast enough starving it for oil, but you didn’t really describe that.

    GM 3.6L?

    The early ones had all the chain issues. By 2013 that isn’t much of an issue. They need their oil changes, I’ve seen a few neglected ones have the cam actuators go bad from being starved of oil. The most common issue tends to be leaking purge valves, and they’re easy to do. I own a 2015 Impala, or course I keep the fluids fresh in it but it’s been a very nice car with 78k on it now. My parents have a 2016 Impala. I’ve worked on many of these and know them well and wouldn’t have bought them if I thought they’d be a money pit. Even the early ones can be a good buy if they’ve had the chains fixed. The engine is typically mated to the fwd 6 speed which can have issues too. Better parts were used about the same time they got the chains updated. Typically more of an issue in the Traverse/Acadia platform due to hauling more weight. This is not to be confused with the second generation 3.6 which started production in 2017, however they still use both. Haven’t seen much out of those but it’s early yet. Just a few solenoid issues for the cylinder deactivation, and yea that’s how you can tell, the second gen shuts down 2 cylinders.
  21. Mallard is partially right. Supposedly they’re making the warehouse management send out parts. Some stuff still trickles in via FedEx. Geeto is right in that we are still trading with other dealers, kind of. Some are refusing to give up their inventory, including us to certain places. It’s a mess.
