subscribed. I need shocks on mine as well. can you give more detail on to what you bought/where/etc?

I bought a ~$75 from eBay; partially to do it for science, partially because I'm a gambling man, and partially because I'm cheap. 3 months and 4k miles later, so far so good.

I can confirm service and quality from Klaus/top hydraulics from when i had my 98' Mercedes sl600... I will forever be their customer for top hydraulic parts! :thumbsup

^^^^ I can confirm this :thumbsup

I recently (last week) replaced my radiator with a $75 (including shipping) radiator from eBay. It was so cheap, I needed to do it for science- worse case scenario, id be out $75 and will need to reinstall another radiator quicker because i already did it once before... So far so good (will...

That's a good idea... I'll probably just have my mechanic do it- I cant cheat on him after all these years. Haha

I know this is a huge jump and there's a one in one million chance that you have the exact issue as my car had; but try removing the 10amp fuse on the BCM that is for the onstar. My car would refuse to connect to the scanner till I removed that fuse and then everything started right up and was...

here we go:

I checked the valve and it was closed. The modules were definitely submerged in water long enough that you can see at what level the water was at for an extended period of time (about halfway up). One of the connectors to the hardtop module caught fire and melted in the past (under previous...

not too shabby- high on the daily estimate (I'd say more like 150 miles a day round trip), but nonetheless, close. It has 192k miles... Hah. Pretty high for my tastes, but low miles concern me more than high miles, ironically enough. I got that fear from my Mercedes SL days...

Lex, you're absolutely right- I manually opened the top completely with the help of CC's advice. As far as the car not shifting out of park- I recalibrated the brake sensor, and it didn't change... then it dawned on me: I remember the tow truck driver fiddling with the shift selector trying to...

Fabulous! Thank you. It's a clean title car. I bought it from the second owner who used it as a commuter car between Sacramento and San Francisco for the last 5 years- you get a cookie if you can guess the miles on it! He had the car repainted to match his m5. He said he was going to fix the...

Okay, so i took in everyone's feedback and i went back to the basics. I jacked up the car on all corners, i reconnected everything to replicate the day i bought the car. Tested the battery (it was fine), but went any bought another one anyway because everyone keeps chanting battery battery...

I should clarify- its not the clicking sound you'd generally hear from a dead battery- its more like clicking/flickering sounds from the dash. Ive gone to the extend of buying a battery charger, and making sure the battery is fully charged as well.

The Saga Continues... So i waited for the clone tech2, and the service manuals to arrive. I plugged the scanner into the car and it wouldn't get any feedback from the car- BCM or otherwise; it does have a connection with the car, the light on the CaNdi module blinks. I ordered a new BCM and...

i agree with everything in that statement

Have you tried getting a second opinion? You're already in the hole- may as well spend a bit more to be absolutely certain. I wouldn't make any drastic moves without having another party look at it- and it will show your due diligence in the suit if both experts have matching opinions.

I'll buy it and see what happens... For science! I don't mind being a Guinea pig long as there's a decent chance of it going well, hah! Thanks again!!

and to ask you one more question: how do you feel about this tech2 scanner in question? (link below) New GM Tech2 Diagnostic Scanner For GM/SAAB/OPEL/SUZUKI/ISUZU/Holden Tech 2 with Carton Box Again, thank you for pointing...more like grabbing and leading me in the right direction. If you...

Haha, I'll have a Stella in your honor. how about this manual? 2005 Cadillac XLR Factory Service Repair Workshop Manual 2 Vol. Set
