    Got rid of my Mag Ride Shocks!

    Hi John, of course you can go original - but first: Rockauto sells ACDelco, not direct GM and in this case they are not the same. Maybe as you read before: The Mag Shocks are really noisy, even when almost new and after 3-4 years the whole procedure has to be done again. Especially in cars...

    Got rid of my Mag Ride Shocks!

    Did you keep the original riding height? And do you know which vendor it was?

    Got rid of my Mag Ride Shocks!

    Thanks. I just contacted Southern Car Parts if these fit my 04 XLR and if I can keep original riding height with these.

    Got rid of my Mag Ride Shocks!

    Thanks a lot, sounds good to me. Does anyone know the original GM part no? Curious: When I searched for these at GMPARTSGIANT etc. I couldn't even see them in the diagrams...

    Help! Folding top problem?

    Where did you buy it and how much did you pay? I'm wondering if there is a opportunity for the new system - after Tech2...

    Help! Folding top problem?

    Did it. Thanks everybody. The menu navigation is sometimes unreproducible, but ok. I just managed it and only relearned the closed position - everything working fine. Regarding the counts: I only saw one counter saying 95. Thinking of buy one myself, is is a good choice to take the Chinese...

    Help! Folding top problem?

    Thanks for advice. In my shop manual it says before relearning with the Tech2 there is a manual alignment procedure which looks a little messy. Do you perform this everytime before relearning?

    Help! Folding top problem?

    Although I tried to read every thread and the GM shop manual I bought some months ago, I'm still confused. Couldn't find the right answer for my problem here in the older discussions: The roof of my XLR opens when the button is pushed, every sequence is fine until it comes to lower the trunk...

    Help! Paint producer experiences

    Problem is not the scanner tool, but the matching with databases. Because as I wrote not all increments are allowed to mix colors in Germany.

    Help! Paint producer experiences

    Hi everybody. I got some paint dents on my XLR I wanted to fix the next weeks before summer comes. (maybe stick or with my airbrush machine) Because I had bad experiences getting the fitting color shade by paint manufactoring companies for my DeVille here in Germany I would like to know what...

    Transmission fluid and filter change

    i ask him the same thing and his response from the cadillac tech was that he dosent know but for experience he have remove old oil from other cars low mileage and those cars returned with more problems.but they will gladly do the filter change for 349 and a flush for 199 but they are not...

    Transmission fluid and filter change

    ??? That's a disagreement for itself - you should not change it when it is too young and you should not change it when it is too old? Mine was 14 years and 37K and I can tell you there was not little abrasive wear inside at the collectors magnet. So it was a good idea to do a change. The...

    Transmission fluid and filter change

    Yes, it's easy. The manual says a tool is needed to put it in place, but it "snaps in" normally when putting the filter on. Other experience I had: The 04 and 05 XLRs don't like the Dexron VI, there was a whining all the time as soon as I started the engine. Maybe that's the reason GM...

    Dexron VI causes transmission whine / howl

    Thanks, I will try the Corvette forums. But one question is left and it's Cadillac specific, cause the control modul is Cadillac, not Corvette: Is there an option to reset transmission fluid indicator or even the whole transmission?

    Dexron VI causes transmission whine / howl

    Diif was fine - no issues with the new fluid. Did you change transmission too?

    Dexron VI causes transmission whine / howl

    Yes I measured the amount of old fluid coming out just to be sure. Procedure exactly like the manual says of refilling (not the flushing procedure)

    Dexron VI causes transmission whine / howl

    Oil reset That's the question. Some stores still sell Dex III H from ACDelco, but it was officially replaced by VI. Many Cadillacs have a reset option when filling new oil into the transmission, but I couldn't find it in the shop manual for my XLR. Does it have one and can somebody help...
