    Bronze always looks good with white. I had a 1988 10th AE Mazda RX-7 that had factory bronze tinted windows and was sexy. I then added llumar platinum 20% to it. Damn.

    A/C question

    I have both cores leaking and am looking at $2K plus to replace both. Am going to do the heater core while they’re in there so won’t have to go back in there for the rest of the trucks life (fingers crossed). It’s an 06 with 200k miles. The dye is all over my front vents and in the rear, it’s...

    What oil brand & type is GM putting in our 5.3L SUVs?

    I’ll believe anything that Project Farm says. That guy is as thorough and honest as anyone can be when he does his tests and comparisons. It’s like the real deal opinion with no stakes in the game.

    Swapping exhaust on a Denali 6.2: who here kept their old one/how?

    That first video made me cringe, So gonna give you some advice….. Everyone I’ve given the same advice to has been more than appreciative. Get the Bosch icon wipers and the orange colored rain-x wiper fluid. Now I’m colorblind, so I may be wrong, just don’t get the green rain-x. For some reason...

    4L65E corvette servo upgrade, now no 2nd gear

    Ahhhhh, so fun AND useful. Its like a extra EXTRA tow button? So if the tow button does that for pulling a trailer, this will give similar results it at all times. And assuming even a little more when tow mode engaged?

    Cell phone mounts, who uses what?

    Not very long I just stuck it in the outlet in the cargo area in the Acadia to get a measurement. With only 3 inches of flex, probably not much use for anyone unless they have an outlet right on the vertical console like on the package. Any lower and would probably need a little more...

    Cell phone mounts, who uses what?

    My friend and I both have the scosche magic mount. Uses the thin, grey foam 3M body molding adhesive on it. Works great and is nice on the blank panel by the traction control switch of 06 Z-71 Tahoe. He uses his on his center console of his Silverado SS and his F-150 and has tank of his Harley...

    Heater stopped blowing hot air

    Now to figure out why your cooling system was low. Topped off, you may start smelling it after some drives and you may be on a new goose chase. Hopefully will be something small or nothing at all

    Did I pay too much ?

    Well I worked at a local car audio shop and he and another tech would come in and hang out and shop and stuff and I got to know him pretty well. We’ve kept in touch for going on 20 years now. I knew the old service advisor as well and he was cool. He’d always “find” one of them $39.99 27 point...

    Did I pay too much ?

    ^^^^ That’s the truth. I have a mechanic at the local GMC dealership on the payroll and needed some work done to my 2000 Yimmy: both front wheel bearings, upper ball joints, and all four shocks. He used to be able to do random side jobs at the dealership, but since it changed owners, he said it...

    Parasitic Draw Test

    And please don’t forget to fully charge your new battery when you get it to the house BEFORE you hook it up and put it in service. Batteries just sit around and lose voltage and a lot of the uneducated parts guys think that just cause it’s new on the shelf that it’s ready to go.... Well that’s a...
