So after the el camino real dealership wasted my time (by saying they ordered the part without even looking to see if I had the correct serial # for ECM/PCM) I called the recall center and asked for a different dealership. I ended up at a cadillac dealership close to home (down the street). They che...

Re: TC or SC

oh man I want the SC so bad! I do a lot of city driving, so basically that = stop and go. That's why I wouldn't go with TC because I want more power at the start vs top speed. But is it worth the expense? What are the downsides of having it SC? Someone mentioned about 8 hours to install the SC. Does...

Re: (knightrace)

That's why I wonder why they said all day at first. They're telling you 15 mins for inspection and 25 for replacement! We'll see what happens but I'll be unhappy if the car spends all day in the shop.And BTW, after I called to report the stalling and rough idling, we only got 1 letter with a promise...

the advantage I had was it was a portable unit. So I would have it in the car, in the office and at home when needed. Also, it could broadcast to a lot of cars around me lol. So $14 was worth it... but now I got an awesome streaming system of my music so its just not needed.

yeah our filter looked pretty bad as well, like the first post. It also smelled nasty! As I said in another post, it let off a moldy smell (some say the smell is like cat urine!) and fogged up the windshield when the air was first turned on (hot or cold!).After replacement, everything was great!

A while back, we started to get a moldy smell in the car. When we'd turn the air on or heat right away, we'd notice the windshield starting to get fogged up by the air ports. Took a while and some troubleshooting to end up at the filter, but once we swapped out the filter all our troubles were gone....

Whatever you do, make sure you call to let them know you want to cancel. I just canceled mine (portable unit) and they offered me ridiculous prices! So don't just call to renew, "try to cancel" first!

This is an interesting thread! For a while I've been telling my gf that her car is not quite right because of how/when it stalls. So after some research, different models had a recall but not the vibe. So I found out some numbers can called, eventually ended up at the right place and filed a complai...

Hey thanks. I've been around for a while but mostly reading. I thought I signed up but I didn't lol. I was happy to find out a while back about the center console having another outlet hole cut out, it's very handy!

Reposition rear wiper

At some point in the early history of the car (previous owner) the rear wiper was moved to about a -45 degree angle. So, when you use it, it goes onto the hatch instead of cleaning only the glass! lolAny idea on how to open up the case it's in and move it over to it's correct "flat" positi...

Replacement shifter label?

Hi gang! I'm looking to replace the plastic strip in an 05 base with auto trans. The plastic label for the shifter is broken (don't know how it happened). It's just the piece that reads "P R N D 2 L." Any idea where I can get a replacement?tia
