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 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...
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.
Trickle Chargers
Lots of advice in this Thread!
I have made several 'Trickle Chargers' for people who store their vehicles for weeks or months. I use the transformers off discarded phones and other devices which are rated from 300-1000ma (1 Amp) D.C. Determine the positive lead and attach...
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...
For those wanting the Norev blue retracting Hardtop model, there is one on Ebay Toronto. It is at $115 with 15 days to go. They are a bit over 4" long I believe. 1:43 scale?

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...
2009 V
This is the second one Leggat's have had in during the past 2 years. Possibly Cashmere.
Looks a different shade than mine. I am located near that Dealership. I can send you photos if you give me your email addy, or perhaps you have already seen it.

Navigation disc
I was looking for a Nav disc today. GM Service Manager said to go to navdisc.com. He thought about $200. Cannot be purchased from GM.
Anyone have a disc even if outdated for sale?
Any GM disc will work I was told.

I was very fortunate to buy a red one By Mattel - Hot Wheels to match my 2008 last year for $20, boxed then, not now.

Sellers wife was 'housecleaning' his collection!

Norev Die Cast
Great. I would like to see photos of it as I have a friend in the UK who could watch for me.
I often wondered about your Crossfire, particularly the name as it was used by GM on their 1982 Corvette engine with Fuel Injection.
I would have thought it would be trademarked. I...
