    Ever wish you still had the stock exhaust still on?

    I reinstall my stock catted h-pipe and I actually like the way it sounds better. The Magnaflow catback sounds just right with the the stock h. I only leave the BBK x-pipe on because it makes a lot of extra power at the track but it's a little loud for my taste. Here in the great white north...

    Does my 02 GT torque converter have a drain plug?????

    Unless your fluid is really bad, dropping the pan and changing the filter and fluid is all that's necessary anyway.

    Does my 02 GT torque converter have a drain plug?????

    From TCCoA.com A lot of us are probably thinking if that job can be even done, especially yourself. The fact is that it can. There is actually a nut on the Torque Converter - a 1/8-27 dryseal converter drain plug. Question is - Do you have to remove the Torque Converter from the car? No, you...

    Mines an 01. No hangers are on the mid pipe from the factory.

    Rear End Suggestions

    The right wheel gets more traction because the way the car twists under launch, it transfers the weight to the right rear. The left rear wheel loses traction because there's less weight on it. I added an air bag to the rr spring to aid my launch at the strip. An air bag would help. Also drag...

    91 4.3 blazer idle problem.

    Oh, I almost forgot, valve seals could be leaking and fouling the spark plugs. a common issue on 4.3's.

    91 4.3 blazer idle problem.

    91 S and T trucks were never a smooth running combo. 92-93 they added a balance shaft to the 4.3 to smoothen things out. If it's worse in reverse than drive, it could be worn motor mounts or the exhaust grounding out. If he ran the sea foam through to quickly, it'll cause the engine to run...

    A GM dealer can check out the vehicle build using their Vehicle Information System, with the VIN.

    I have to be the record holder for this...

    i wonder if you're not running too lean. The leaner mixture creates more heat then burns out the o2 sensor. lean mixtures after all will burn valves and pistons, why not o2 sensors?

    rear vibration after uca and lca's

    Two things to check. First the u-joints. Pull the drive shaft. Check that the u-jounts don't bind, when you make them flex back and forth. Also check for looseness. If you see any rust coming from the u-joint seals that joint is gone. The second thing is the drive angle at the rear end could be...

    "Go" pedal stuck every now and then?

    I'd guess your throttle cable is starting to break.

    Cruise cable adjustment

    The throttle plate was binding, so I had to adjust the stop screw. That got the cruise cable close to where it should be. Then I gave the cable bracket a little "tweek" and all is now good. Thanks for the replies.

    Cruise cable adjustment

    Nothing's twisted or installed wrong. It's only short by about 1/32 to 1/16 of an inch. Just enough to hold the throttle open a tiny bit. I'm a GM tech, not a nube. Havn't worked on Fords much for a very long time. Except my own.

    Cruise cable adjustment

    Just installed a 75mm throttle body. I need to adjust the cruise control cable. How's it done? It won't allow the throttle plate to close, so I left it disconnected for now.

    rattle noise..what is it?

    It definetly could be pinging. Try a tank of 94 octane fuel and see if it goes away. It could also be the a/c compressor. The sound can transfer through the a/c lines into the dash area. try turning the mode control to the center off position and see if it goes away. On my car, i thought I had...
