Re: 2014 Caprice PPV interior

I had a chance to check out a 2014 yesterday. I must admit the interior improvements were much better then I expected. The gear shifter being moved to the dash is a huge improvement when it comes to installing police equipment in the center. Some very good changes. Not sure I like the trunk release ...

Accident Costs

Folks just a heads up. In a discussion a few days ago it seems our department may be moving away from the Caprice, or at least buying less. The reason being is the repair costs to these cars is quite excessive. We have had two cars damaged so far, one was totaled with over $17k worth of damage (my o...

Re: A look at what lurks under the hood of the V6 Caprice

No need to put it on the lift, just pop the hood and you can see it. Standing in front look on the right side (driver's) of the motor. There is a silver cap about the size of a soda can with a bolt on top, thats where the oil filter goes. You can just barely see it in the first photo posted, its jus...

Re: A look at what lurks under the hood of the V6 Caprice

Ah memories. Talk about cluttered, I remember getting the oil changed and the mechanic complaining about how there is a wiring harness or some sorta loom that run right across where the oil filter cap goes. That V6 took alot of oil too, to the tune of 7 quarts, IIRC.

Re: 2014 Chevrolet SS

Hello folks!

Saw my first SS today, black, cruising down Route 2. Looked good but I only saw the rear and the drivers side. Had a nice fresh layer of Maryland salt on it, I bet the lady driving was happy about that.

Re: trunk lid pull-down handle

Thats a great idea! It was frustrating not having a handle back here. I hated touching the painted body to close the truck. Amazing how a $10 part would have made such a difference.

Clips

While getting something out of my trunk today I broke two small clips that hold the trunk release wire that runs under the package tray. Now the wire is dangling, any idea if these are dealer only item or generic? Looks like one side is the retention into the metal and the other side is a clip that ...
