    Rear View Mirror Lamps

    No its hard to find anyone that works on them. You use like a turkey baster to suck the fluid out. There are several sources for fluid . gm of course but its expensive. Ill send you a list of fluids that work.

    Rear View Mirror Lamps

    Did he check the fluid level. I recommend removing the fluid from the canister then removing the canister . check the inside with a fine tooth brush and fresh fluid. Do not use any spray cleaner . reinstall and fill to top.

    Jimmie - New Owner

    Yeah the trunk should stay open . the two gas shocks holds it up not the pump. If it does not stay up by itself it wears heavily on the pump.

    Top roof control module

    Who tested it if you did not open the box. These ebay sellers slap tested on everything they sell. They would need a team of people just to operate all the functions of the cars they buy and first get keys made then get them running to test anything. The last 3 or 4 modules sold used on ebay...

    Shocks XLR

    Cyliner head removal 2004 4.6

    It requires a whole lot more than a tuner to install an ls. Its not a direct swap. All the electronics have to changed and a lot of fabrications. As far as leaking ive seen more northstars With clean oil pans than oily. The valve covers can and do leak, plus the cam phasers do leak. Other than...

    Cyliner head removal 2004 4.6

    The radiator has 12-16 pounds of pressure while the cyinder pressure is 125-175 pounds. If a head gasket leaks there is no way on earth that the coolant pressure comes in the cylinder but combustion does not get into the coolant. Its been that way since the model tee . steve morris engine...
