    Proud XLR owner with a problem

    Batteries I don't think more CCA will help any prematurely dead/dieing battery situation. Replacement batteries are usually a bit higher in CCA due to wear on starter and plug degredation etc. Personally I like to keep batteries Delco in my GM Vehicles. I made a simple battery tender out of...

    Run flat tires

    Run Flats. I have always expected the best and prepared for the worst. I bought new Good~Year 235x50ZR18 EMT tires when I purchased my 2008 XLR. I kept the best 2 of the take off's and they are really heavy. I like a firm ride and am more comfortable with knowing I can make it home with no...

    Front Bumper Sensors

    Headlamp Washers I use mine to keep kids at a distance from the XLR. On my Denali in the salt and sugarbeet/brine/slime deicer that is sprayed on roads in Winter, they are a big help at cleaning off the light lens at night.

    top 5 "must do" upgrades/fixes for the XLR

    If a Rear Anti-Sway bar is installed, be sure to get an immediate realignment of the rear Suspension. As you loosen the bolts you can see and hear things move. Assemble the links on the ground before installing the bar. I ran a hidden #10 insulated wire to the + terminal of the battery which...

    SILVER Die Cast XLR V.

    Mesh Grille I am using mesh from an anti-splatter frying pan cover. I found one with very fine openings. The holes are directional and the big problem is getting an exact fit even with templates. I use a hole punch for the Caddy crest. My grille does not seem to be plastic but it may be...
