How To - Convert Factory Key to Aftermarket Flip Key

So I wanted to see what kind of batteries the remotes took (found out they are CR2032) since one of mine seemed to be getting low. And got a little overzealous and cracked the case of my factory key. DOH! I bought some aftermarket flip key cases from China a few months back ($12.00 each off Ebay, mu...

Re: TPMS woes

Steve, what issues are you having, out of curiosity? Same as Eric in post number one. Especially cold morning (50 degrees here in CA HA!) Get a warning on the left rear. Pressure states 34 goes up as I drive, still warning. Next day right rear does same thing, same pressure. And fronts are even low...

Re: TPMS woes

Looking at our tire stickers (2011): http://i.imgur.com/zYD0GKO.jpg So an observation I just made.

But we are coming up on battery failure time even though the service manual says a lifespan of 10 years: Tire Pres...

Re: New from Austin, TX - (Not an owner...yet)

Hey Panda, welcome to the board! Yea nothing as expensive as a cheap european car! Now if someone would just do a 6 speed manual conversion on a Caprice you would be all set! LOL Hope you find a nice one! Good part is many of them seemed to be deployed in TX so I think you will have a better chance ...

Re: FOR SALE: 2013 Chevrolet Caprice PPV 9C3 w/ K9 Insert &

Could you get a couple of pictures of the radiator / condenser cooling fan that was added? If any? I assume it would be on the front of the condenser??

Thanks, Thinking of adding one myself.

Re: rear window switches "dead"

Does anyone know if the G8 ones will fit ? Maybe just change out the different color switch?

Re: Pontiac G8 carpet in Caprice PPV

I have a line on a G8 that's being parted out. The owner is indicating that it looks like the carpet was laid down and then the dash was installed, as it appears that there is some bracing that is set through some holes in the carpet which would require the removal of the dash to get the carpet out...
