Re: P015D funky exhaust smell

I would hook up/tape the outlet of a shop vac to the tailpipe and tape off the other tailpipe. Then run your hand around the exhaust, especially at every connection. You will feel the breeze. Replace the front O2 sensors with Denso. Last time I ordered GM OEM sensors they were stamped Denso. Go fig...

Are you still parting this one out?
I'm looking for the rear brake splash shields if they are in good shape. The clips that hold the park brake retaining spring have rotted away on mine.

Re: Another broken power window wire thread

You're welcome!
Contacts would be pretty cool. You just loose electrical when the door is open, right?
My repair is still holding up fine, but it has only been a year. If I have problems again, I'll likely just remove the complete harness and rebuild it with quality wire.

Re: Winter handling/traction

Those are horrible in the snow. No wonder you aren’t happy. Every one of my vehicles has limited slip or a locker. If they weren’t built with it, I added it myself. The difference in traction on some surfaces is extreme. Can it get tail happy? Sure. But an open diff can do that. I don’t see that as ...

Re: Winter handling/traction

I always wanted to try studded tires, but they are illegal here except for emergency vehicles, mail delivery, and out of state plates.

Re: Winter handling/traction

I do have winter tires on it now but the guy at Discount Tire said that what I have on there is the best I can get so in a nutshell these cars are pretty worthless in the winter.....mines going up for sale, I might as well have bought a Camaro What do you have on it? The change from the Goodyear ul...

Re: Daily Driven Cam Choice

I went with the TSP 220R from Texas Speed. 220/220, .600/.600, 112 LSA. Like several of the others here, I did quite a bit of looking before I made a purchase. I wanted to make a big enough change from the factory cam to make a very noticeable difference, but I didn't want to make the car a pain for...

Re: Winter handling/traction

It snowed lightly all day here (about 4” on the ground) so I just went out for a test around town. I’m currently in a river town on the Mississippi, so the whole town is a hill. Had no trouble getting up or down any of the streets. The PPV still won’t come anywhere near my wagon’s snow abilities, bu...

Re: mild cam idle surge and basic settings - tune and log attached

Did you get this figured out? It has taken me quite a while to get my idle sorted out after cam and exhaust, but I seem to be getting pretty close. I'd be happy to look at your tune or share mine with you if you are still interested. Idle air flow, timing, and virtual VE seemed to make the most diff...
