    Compression test procedure

    Be sure to get the proper trans fluid with all the additives in it. Last tsb from gm changed what was called for in the owners manual using 12378261 with 88900330 limited slip additive. I think it now calls for 88862624 dextron ls. There are dozens of similiar priducts.

    Aftermarket Wheels

    With zero offset the answer is yes. Most wheels have offset. Rarely seen any with zero You can find a visualzer online like this to get a rough idea of how much rims and size will change fitment. Wheel Offset Calculator

    LED Turn Signal/DRL problem

    I would disconnect the headlight plugs and make sure they are dry and no corrision. Grounds can be funny. Both of the ones on top of the front frame rails should be cleaned.

To me the car runs hotter than id like because there is not enought air flow thru the radiator . my two row rad dropped the temps from 205 down to 195. Still plenty hot to run clean yet not hot enough to damage...
