Take it to the dealer ASAP, there is a fault in the system.

tnpartsguy

Diane's right, there are no stem-mounted sensors, at least up to '07, I'll have to check on the '08. The system uses the ABS sensors in the wheel hubs to read rotational differences, but only when the steering wheel is in the 'straight' position.To truely reset the system, 1st thing in the morning t...

I have the 720. Love it, BUT they don't have any of the accessories or replacement parts available. I broke the windsheid mount trying to set up a custom mounting bracket, and they STILL don't have a replacement available!

tnpartsguy

I love my AWD Vibe. In fact, I had a very hard time finding another one when i stupidly traded the 1st one. I get in the low 20's around town, and right around 30 hwy, but I will admit I have a lead foot.One other fact to consider, the factory nav disk hasn't been updated since 2004, and probably ne...

the TPS on the Vibe works using the ABS sensor to detect a speed differential. That's one reason it takes so long (up to 50 miles) to recalibrate. There are not any special sensors, at least not up to '06.

I used to bowl in leagues about 10 yrs ago, but when I hurt my back, I had to stop. I went recently and had a blast, but my old equipment had had it (my shoes actually dryrotted!!!) So here's the new beginner stuff I just got.

tnpartsguy

Next, our cars shouldn't have dexcool in them, they should have Toyota's red antifreeze in them. The engine block and such are all Toyota, the radiator MIGHT be made by GM, via ACDelco, but I'd rather have the correct AF in mine...on this one, the manual is right - 30K or 2yr interval.

tnpartsguy

Wait til you see my new wheels!!

tnpartsguy

The online GMMyLink service assumes (Incorrectly) that everyone has GM's wonderful (yes, that was sarcasm) Oil Life System. 10K is the max with the OLS, which is a load of crap in my mind. 10K is about twice as long as you should go on the same oil, and you miss getting your tires rotated (every 5K~...

tnpartsguy

and they ride SOOoooooo good, they are lighter then the stock wheels!

Quote, originally posted by lovemyraffe Â»Sorry, I have to change my response. I was thinking of putting them on my new toy. 1969 Datsun 510. It's nowhere near being done, but it is a tiny little car with 240hp, and it would just look so goofy it would be cool. But I still stand by the fact that on ...

Once I get the Toy caps, I'll see if Ryan at Grafx will make me a set of bubble overlays. If not, I'll just sports the yota centers, not like I slow down much for anyone to be able to read them LOL

tnpartsguy

I'd never notice it over all the lights the city put on their front lawn that keep me awake at night.I guess I'm going with the Toyota centers...... The Pontiac ones won't fit.Sorry to continue to be a tease, but it's rainy and nasty here today, PERFECT weather for the AWD!!Getting the Nitrogen Fill

tnpartsguy

Sorry, too dark to take pics tonight, I promise I'll get some tomarrow.2003 Celica GT Wheels, 5 point star pattern, deep dished....I love them!

tnpartsguy

Yep, looks like you need a wheel too, that's $600 new. (Or $100 for a slightly used 1 that I am selling). The paint also will run the price up, a lot harder to mix and match than a standard colour. Plus, from the angle of the pic, looks like the damage goes under the taillight, that's a lot of pulli...

tnpartsguy

Congrats!! We love pics, so as soon as you get it, we wanna see.

tnpartsguy

*closes eyes and wishes for a Rogue over a Vue*

tnpartsguy

Mine did. I ended up putting wheelie bars on it after my dad caught me doing wheel stands....it would pull the front wheels a foot or more (lots more a few times LOL) off the ground. I had the Chrysler V8 and a 3 speed manual in mine, factory.

tnpartsguy

Doesn't sound good. Here's what all is there. #14 is the sensor 'excitor'. If the timing chain moved, you've hurt the motor.

I just checked. All Vibes have the transmission controls built into the PCM, (Powertrain Control Module) There is no independant transmission computer. I'd call Pontiac Customer relations and ask them for assistance. Did you buy the car new or used? If you bought it new, your selling dealer needs to...

tnpartsguy

H3? I hope he's getting a headlight bulb and not a Hummer....Yeah, he'll look back at those pics and wonder why in the world he ever traded that beauty for a nasty Hummer.

tnpartsguy

I've driven a few. I just don't like a Cobalt, the interior is rubbish. 15~20K they have so many rattles and squeaks...

tnpartsguy

It's just a Colorado in a Hummer Suit.....just like the H3 is a Trailblazer....

tnpartsguy

Nope, Mac Mini, Power PC chip, with 2 300+ gig external HD's.

I've had it since Friday morning. It's pretty good, but the install time was ......well, insane....6 hours.

tnpartsguy

I went ahead and ordered it. My mini is out of warranty in a few days, so....time to pop the case open and add more RaM.....I actually have a gig that I just pulled out of my laptop that I think will work. DDR2-5300

tnpartsguy

the 2nd Gen's bad habit of breaking timing belts at 13K miles and killing the engine scared a lot of people off too. The Eclispe was pretty much a US market car only, the new car is based more on the FTO than the previous car.

tnpartsguy

1st, is the servicing dealer the selling dealer? If not, take it back there if possible. Don't pay them a cent to diagnosis a problem on a car with 18K miles. 2nd, call the Pontiac consumer helpline, and get a case started. 18K is too early for a clutch to go out, even in a GT.

My very 1st car was a 1973 Gremlin X. I loved that car. I wish I had it back.

I have it, but I'm so dissappointed in it that I might take it to trade tomarrow. The online modes are so weak....Cat & Mouse mode utterly sucks. You can only use unlocked cars, and everything's ghosted, no Pinning the E class car anymore. Career gameplay isn't much better so far, I went back to...

tnpartsguy

Wow, I've never seen such a crappy set of WeatherTech's. The GMSPO version fits perfect and holds plenty of water, mud, snow, ect...I'd go that route before I kept those ill-fitting things. IMHO, YMMV, ect.

tnpartsguy

the V rating means they will be soft, and won't last very long. Joatman's T rated tires were a very hard compound compared to the V

tnpartsguy

Look for rust under the rear hatch window and both the hatch and the window weatherstrip. Both areas are prone to rust, and GM has a bulliten about rear at the bottom of the rear window under the weatherstrip.

tnpartsguy

All GM cars since 1985 require 5w30, with the exception of the Corvettes, and a few others the require Mobile 1 (5w30). I personally use 0w20 Mobil 1 in my car now, since it's all very short trips (under 5 miles), and I still change it at least every 4k miles.15,000 miles is WAYyyyyyyyy too many mil...

mine on the '06 is 'pinking' out pretty quick....

Might even be that some money was exchanged for it to end up there..............

My entire iTunes library is on the MS-Dos formatted one, the 2nd one is blank at this time, and OS-X extended format...should I hook it to a PC and reformat? I was going to use it for more iTunes stuff....

tnpartsguy

Be careful with the white paint, it's single stage paint, not cleared. Same for the bright red. A freind of mine had a red Supra years ago, he colour-sanded it and Clear coated it......looked like a totally different car.

tnpartsguy

I'll be glad when it's out so I don't have to hear any more hype. Can't go into a game or electronics store without seeing all the ads or getting asked at the register if you'd like to pre-order.....the guy at Best Buy yesterday insisted I'd buy it....even though I've never played any of the Halo's ...

On the mac only. Drive #1 is still formatted in MS-DOS, Drive #2 is formatted in MAC OS-Extended. They both show up at exactly 298.1 gig.P.S. maybe we need a new forum, "Computer and Internet help-desk"?

I'm sending the Xteme back, it won't keep it's configuration, and it keeps dropping the internet connection.The new problem I've discovered....I have (2) 500 gig WD Premium My Book HDD's. They only show 298.1 gig. Any ideas?
