Hey Yo !!! ALL DONE !!! Finally got my '04 XLR back from Tustin Cad in Calif. It was $2,765 with the tax to replace the 3 modules (susp, trunk, and pump) and I had to provide the recond. pump from Top Hydro (another $550 + 20 shipping =$570) so grand total was just over $3,335 ... NOTE: it...
Awesome svc and tech support from Top Hydro ! Very quick turn around ... these are in stock so ok to do core exchange $850 - 300 core exchange = $550 net plus $20 shipping. EZ to DIY if desired too. Just had it done thru my dealer (for labor only) saving me HUGE vs $1965 Delco Pump with lesser...
Many thx Dfuser,
Your personal experience along with the BeardBros provides me with 2 XLNT points of reference. That being said, I still need to find someone with the Labor Ops Guide (LOG) because when I quote info directly from the LOG to the dealer, it will difficult for the dealer to justify...
Hi Dfuser,
You had sated that 15 labor hours is what the LABOR OPS GUIDE says for a big job including the main harness. My specific question is this FOR AN '04 XLR. I just need a good way to INDEPENDENTLY verify what's "Fair". Can anyone share with me the number of labor hours "suggested" in...
Many thx ... I guess I will have to call a different dealer ... I just want to verify from an independent source that MY dealer is not quoting me more labor hours than what the good book says (Labor Ops Guide) ... i.e. MY dealer quoted me 11 hours to replace 2 plug and play modules and the pump...
Thx guys.... this is very informative. I looked at the 2 items on ebay and noticed one photo (from EASTCONC) shows a pin advertising the company logo for the salvage yard known as ... EastCoastUsedParts.net.
You never quite know what to believe when you see and read and hear things these...
HERE'S A FOLLOW UP QUESTION RE: THE NUMBER OF LABOR HOURS FOR AN '04 XLR:
I dont mind paying the "Fair" amount for dealer labor but I need a good way to verify what's "Fair". Can anyone share with me the number of labor hours "suggested" in the Cadillac XLR Service Writer's Guide (or whatever...
Many thx ... in case you hadnt heard, here's some xlnt info for your pump. A "better than new" reconditioned pump will run you $550 plus $20 shipping and with a 3 year warranty (vs $1795 at the dealer) ... go to Top Hydralics Inc in Oregon:
Top Hydraulics, Inc

Awesome ... Many thx dfuser !!! ... way to "get er done !" What's the name/location of your dealer? If mine still cant find the parts, I'll refer them.

Hello again, for "hard-to-find" modules such as the Ride Control Module 10348979 (for an '04 XLR) can anyone offer some feedback (good or bad) on WholesaleGMPartsOnline.com also known as GMPartSupport.com ? I called there today and left a Voice Mail msg but no reply. I can see from reading...
BTW, HELP ! anybody out there got TSB 05-08-57-005A Dated 8-18-2006 and any other TSBs related to the water leaking into the trunk caused by the faulty design/mfg of the wheel wells/chassis, etc ?
I do not see them tho I see a suspicious logo re: 3rd Party Hosting! Newbie alert: Is there...
Hello
Pls post TSB 05-08-57-005A Dated 8-18-2006 and the others you had previously posted (apparently back in 2011). I do not see them. Newbie alert: Is there some trick to finding attachments on this forum?? I've got the $5k issue of "water in module bay" ... MFG DEFECT !
thanks
Mark
MANY THX DB! The pump refurb co looks totally awesome from my research and from talking with them ... tophydralicsinc.com . Its $550 for a "better than new" hydro pump with a 3 year warranty vs $1950 at the Dealer. They do top pumps for all the big names too: Bentley, Merc, Lexus etc...
