2012 Caprice 6.0 Minnesota 160K

I am listing this for sale since I need a winter car. Has some rust and the check engine light is on (the last time I had it scanned it said oil sending unit and #2 oxy sensor). Other than that it runs and drives great.

should I sell it?

I bought my 2012 Caprice a couple years ago thinking it would be a good winter car but they are not so I am thinking of selling it. Does anyone know if there is a market for a 2012 Caprice with 160,000 miles and some rust? I am in Minnesota, thanks!

Re: Rear of car clunks while cornering

I seem to recall that when I changed my differential (to a 3.27), I had read (here on the forum) that performing some figure 8 type maneuvers after you change the fluid would "stop the noise" back there. I do seem to recall mine making noise at first. Before I did anything else, I would c...

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

What more can you really do besides snow tires and weight in the trunk? You can't expect miracles. Limited slip actually helps traction in the snow since you don't just sit there spinning the one wheel that's on snow or ice. actually the limited slip hurts with the winter driving in the fact that i...
