    Millage

    I pulled my car out of storage on or about Oct 20th and drove it it for about a month before heading back home. It ran like a top and I changed the oil and flushed the rad. I will do the rear end in January. I found an 06 XLR at home identical to mine with 60,000'miles on it. I thought about...

    UNAVAILABLE DISCONTINUED PARTS

We had a period where brand new members would be making a couple of posts and then want to sell something. it was obvious to me they only joined to site to sell something and in my opinion should not be allowed...

    UNAVAILABLE DISCONTINUED PARTS

    Dexron VI causes transmission whine / howl

    I was going to do a total fluid change on my car this Fall including engine oil , transmission , radiator and rear end. The car runs great and maybe I should leave well enough alone and just do an OIf. I got 86,000 miles on the car. John F.

    Help! Tire ware

    I have never heard that tires should be replaced every 10 years. I would think 5 or 6. You also live in a hot area and tires get damaged with all the sun. My tires are about 3 years old and I am thinking of changing them in a couple of years. John F.

    Help! None working top and trunk

    Before you get too upset I think you got a pretty good deal on the car. You paid half what I did a number of years ago and yours is a V. If your engine is good and you don't have oil leads or radiator leaks you are in pretty good shape. When these tops mess up they can be costly and that can...
