Hi Dave, This is the first time I have seen your post even though I usually check for new posts every couple of days so I don't know what is going on with that. I have used Tom Peacock Cadillac, 15480 I-45 North, in the past and they successfully fixed my top problem a few years ago. At that...

Check your steering rack and pinion mounting bolts. There are probably two bolts that hold it to the frame and if they get loose the rack will move slightly in either direction making it feel like you describe. I had this happen on my STS and I think the steering rack in the XLR is secured the...

Does XM even show up as one of the modes on your head unit? XM may not be displayed as a mode unless the XM module is present, I'm not sure about this. If this is the case you would not be able to add the audio input if you could not access the XM mode since the head unit switches the audio to...

I hope everyone's luck with Optima batteries is better than mine has been. I bought yellow tops for my trucks thinking they might be better than a conventional lead acid battery and have had all of them fail, most in 4-5 years which I guess isn't bad for a battery, but for what these cost I...

Fred, the picture looks great, would love to see it in person, but I'm not going any further North than East Texas this winter! Good thing it is an indoor show.

Tesla Has anybody been looking at or thinking about purchasing a Tesla? Model S P85D with front and rear electric motors, 691 HP, 0-60 in 3.2 seconds in a 4 door sedan. Might seriously be a replacement for our STS in another year or two.

Manual shifting does not affect the shift cable as shifting is all electronic after the vehicle is put into drive. I prefer to let the car do the shifting because I usually hit the rev limiter when doing it myself due to the delay between when I push the gear shift and when the transmission...

I never had much luck with the voice commands for the Denso radios in my XLR or STS. Voice recognition technology in these radios just wasn't there yet.

Paul, Congrats. on the new "V" upgrade. It sounds like you got a really great one to enjoy. Good thing they don't enforce the speed limits in California like they do in Texas.

Thanks for the suggestion ccclarke. Based upon your recommendation I purchased one of the Kinivo car kits for the XLR and liked it so much I purchased several more for some of my other cars. My STS has bluetooth for my phone from the factory, but the Kinivo works so much better for phone calls...

That's a great story and you are lucky to still have it. I wish I could have done the same thing with my '68 Charger R/T. I got it as a graduation gift in 1969 purchased from the original owners with about 2,500 miles on it and drove it till 1988. Sold it to help pay for the house I am still...

Thanks for posting the transmission info in detail. Your efforts to document this and the radiator replacement are really appreciated. I want to change the fluid and filter in my 2006 V with about 75,000 miles on it. Looks easier than the 5L50 in my 2005 STS. On that one the excess fluid...

Gizmo has tested his to 165 Mph and I have tested mine to 155 Mph with no problem so hopefully it was just a one off failure.

Turning the bulb around will definitely fix it, you won't have any light at all!

What color is that? Looks like mustang blue. Head above the windshield? Hope he doesn't put the top up!

Or some compressed air if you can get to the inlet. Just don't use too much air pressure!

Congratulations! That's really low mileage for a 2004. Hope you get some time to enjoy your new ride before the winter sets in. We had a similar experience when stopping by a Cadillac dealer to see if we could test drive a CTS-V back in 2006. They looked at us like we were crazy as we were...

I don't see any perforations in the leather. Those red inserts defeated the heated and cooled seats and they look awful!

I have replaced my rear view mirror map lights with LEDs and have not noticed this problem. They cut off completely. I also have them in the doors and in the footwells and they all shut off normally. They just do not fade down to off like the incandescent bulbs did. Maybe it's the difference...

New York.... Really, or GM could be planning on spinning off Cadillac before GM goes bankrupt with all of it's other problems.
