    XLR-V Intermittent "Top Not Secure" warning

    Might check that none of the potentiometer s are loose. Theycould have the drive pin worn. Read the values of them with the scanner and write it down check it to see if it changes. The secure light can come on for any of them being bad but not usually when its down only when its latched.

    rack and pinion for our cars

    Im not sure if the numbers are on the rack from the factory. Gm can change a number due to a redesign or they will sometimes change if they change manufacture. If anyone looks at oemcats its a good source for part numbers and what they superceed to. Also they tell the size and weight of the...

    Trunk Won't Stay Open

    Bill what brand did you get. New ones will hold the trunk open. In fact you have to pull a bit on it to get it to close. You nay have gotten bad struts but ive done maybe 30-40 and thats never been an issue. Now if the pump is running and closing the trunk thats another issue

    Headlight Lenses Available

    Ok that type material is very brittle and does not have any uv protection so you will need to add a suitable uv coating such as ceracoat. I applaud your efforts and feel this would be an option for a broken or missing lens. Id like to see you show one installed compared to a factory light. On...

    Headlight Lenses Available

    Shocks XLR

    Thanks fir the information. Now if we can find a way to see if the shocks are actually responding to the voltage change. yours seems to be close to the middle of the range i would have thought a wider range but you said you are only moving it a bit. If any movement down lowers the voltage i...

    rack and pinion for our cars

    Checking the ohms i do no believe confirms its working. Also check to see if its grounded to the housing. I saw a toyota unit video where neg volts was applied plus positve , i think 5 max in that case the rack was in a jig with springs pushing on the tie rod towards the rack.the torque to turn...

    rack and pinion for our cars

    Id bet that no rebuilder that sells them for 400-600$ does anything but clean them up and put seals and boots. The one problem i see is that most list one rack for all cars. The 07-08 are not tge same as 04-06/07 middle year change. The gm part numbers so upgrades but that those two numbers do...
