    Got rid of my Mag Ride Shocks!

    hahahahahhahahaha no one on here can tell 2-5% change on the suspension part on the car. I am not talking race cars. I am talking about everyday street driven cars by average to better drivers. The V guys change the stock rear sway bar with the vette. that's a 30% stiffer bar and they can...

    HELP! Need help finding a coolant leak!

    the 04/05 radiator are known to leak and eventually blow out the side tanks. if yours has not been replaced with a newer one all this was a waste. Also 75% of the time a small leak is the hose running from the filler tank under the throttle body and then to the top of the radiator. I have...

    Have you changed your hood / trunk hydraulic struts yet?

    one of the best maintenance things you can do and as you stated they assist the power trunk and take off excess weight when the pump runs. meaning a longer life on the pump and fewer burnt out resisters in the motor.

    Power Seat

    well I would work the switches in each direction. you should be able to easily find that up- down or something does not work. if all the directions work then I would think its got to be one of the modules. Most of the time on the ones I have seen ,if one direction is out the memory will still...

    My baby is gone

    just interested. You said you car was totaled. So did that little bit of damage total it? Did running off the road if I understand do underside damage? That hit on the wheel does not appear to be bad enough to rip the frame. I have had the whole control arm ripped off and no frame damage.

    Got rid of my Mag Ride Shocks!

    if you access the gm parts book you will find the xlr has had no less that 6 upgrades on the springs over the years. They could be due to mount failures, changes in options all sorts of reason as the cars have progressed. No one on here will ever know the reason as Gm will not say. we know also...

    Power Seat

    well they did not cast it all in one part. its made up of individual pieces that I am sure can be replaced. The dealer does not break it down as you stated but Parts can be found . so does the seat move into positions when using the individual switches? I highly doubt you have a motor issue ...

    Got rid of my Mag Ride Shocks!

    if one shock has excessive leakage or is locked up you can get by with two . replacing them in pairs front or rear. I replaced one bad one with a used one of equal wear (mileage) that the local dealer was going to wholesale .When it brought so little at the auction they kept it and sold...

    Got rid of my Mag Ride Shocks!

    I sent you an email with information Billy I would like for you to expand on the statement you made that simulators work 50% of the time. You see that is the sort of statement that people read and base their choices on. Where did you come up with that information. I can tell you for a fact...

    Got rid of my Mag Ride Shocks!

    Billy, you did not state what year your car is. the reason I recommend non mag shocks is this. Your car suspension is worn. the front and rear springs are worn the bushings are worn. they are not as firm as they were when new. That is why a little firmer shock like the z06 will return the car to...

    Gas gauge flips out

    I agree with Hudson above .that would be the first thing to try . I think people are saying a tank out pump replacement runs around a grand. if you go that way do both sides.

    What did you do to / with your XLR today?

    the pumps are pretty robust. there are some fluid additives for pumps .the good thing is you should feel the pump not working and the steering harder if it starts to fail. as they really only work turning the wheel when the car is at stand still. practice letting the car move a little before...

    Got rid of my Mag Ride Shocks!

    for one last time as I am done with this. You stated the shock will lower the car. that is totally wrong. The hock will not change the height of the car if it s a street car, a drag car an off road car or a show car. The Shock does not control the height. As your photo shows. the shock mounting...
