HI there, This part is discontinued from GM. However, looking for a used one usually brings more problems than it is worth. Here is how I do it. First, I take the VIN and the old part number off your old module. Check parts for any updated part numbers as some do update. From there, if...

Hi there, Yes, install clip, then install the line. Yes, the clip is the same for transmission or differential, at the case and at the actual cooler itself and should be BLUE in color. Allthebest, Paul

Hi there, As a side note, NEVER EVER reuse these clips. They are designed as a one removal use ONLY. And the plastic position assurance sleeve that pops over the top of it MUST be reinstalled in order for the accurate retention of that clip to prevent LEAKS! Allthebest, Paul

HI there, If you have owned it since new, it may have had the column lock recall done. If that is the case, the relay in that recall may need to be removed. Also, too many technicians do NOT check the battery terminals and or the fastener tightening. 11 ft lbs is the torque specification on...

Hi there, The first picture is that of the BACK of one of the connectors that may go into either the BCM or another component. If you lift the BCM out, you may find that one of the connectors does NOT have that on it. The second picture is of the communications splice connector. We use this...

HI there, I would be asking what transmission you have??? Are there any aftermarket modifications to the vehicle??? Allthebest, Paul

HI there, Unfortunately, I am unable to maintain the site due to Denise being back side administrator and I do not know what has happened, AGAIN! With special thank you to Rob Haggard, we were able to start the new site and try to get the information but unfortunately, the data transfer has...

HI there, Hib was sitting in on our seminar at the BASH and we discussed this alot. Many wiring harnesses are misrouted under the seat and a simple test is simply to RAISE your seat height and see if the light does go out. From there, move the seat rearward and validate that the wiring or...

Hi there, What I usually tell my convertible customer is to place white terry cloth towels between the folds when lowering the top. This will reduce or sometimes eliminate the napping of the convertible top fabric. Another way to change it is to us a small stiff plastic brush and attempt to...

Hi there, Yes, Dex 6 is just fine for all applications, to add or to flush the system. Allthebest, Paul

Ok, then what did the dealer do ?? Did you ask to look under the car with the service manager?? Lets start with a visual inspection first prior to anything else, tell us what you see and obviously we can move on from there. Keep us posted, Paul

HI there, Ok, lets look at what you can and cannot do with a Corvette driveline vs the Fcar/CTSV driveline. Corvette has the torque tube, but the Camaro/CTSV does not. The camaro differential is separate. Camaro has a driveshaft instead with the transmission bolted directly to the back of...

Hi there, Headlamp alignment is the single biggest issue with motor assemblies and them popping back up. If for some reason, your linkage, motor mounting location or anything else is not correctly lined up, this could occur. Now, that being the case, I would most definately start with...

HI there, The most conclusive way to determine what your correct part number is to PM me your VIN and I can give you the EXACT part number for your vehicle. THE VIN is the ONLY way to accurately nail down parts correctly. Allthebest, Paul

HI there, If you are replacing it, I will usually TAP it with a hammer on the outside edge to loosen it up from the center shaft. If you are NOT, then I will spray some WD40 in the hole area so that the lubricant will penetrate and allow it to be worked off. I also will remove the lower AC...

OH NO! We had heard that he was very ill and we all were pulling for him. I really missed him last year at Carlisle. I always had alot of fun with him coming into my seminars and heckling me with Guy. But yet, we could sit down in the bar at Carlisle and BS for hours, just having a blast...

HI there, I have used both manufacturers of positive valve stem seals with excellent results so IMO, it really doesnt matter. They are usually all made out of VITON and are extremely reliable. No, you should NOT need any head machining to do this job, as the seals are engineered to slide onto...

Orings vs umbrella seals and oil consumption with catalysts HI there, Yes, the puff of blue smoke on start up is common with all L83/L98 engines. This is due to the Oring seals at the top of the valve stem cracking, allowing oil down the valve stem and past the guides to the exhaust stream...

HI there, First, please get codes from the BCM to determine what is the issue with the column lock. Because your 04 is the BEST c5 system for column lock, I would ask a few questions. #1, did you have any water intrusion on the passenger side of the car, on the carpet???? #2, your battery...
