What, no 'flowtie'??

Yer not doing it right!!!!

Back in the day of the impala ss / caprice forum I got hooked. Then I bought my 01 durmax and hit the diesel forum. Made some good buddies on both and it was a blast. Now that my B4U Caprice was sold (after 17 years) I found the PPV, and the heavens parted and the angels sang: AAAAA Ahhhhhh!!! :D H...

Not sure how accurate a VIN lookup, but I searched for '2013 Caprice (VIN number)', and many showed up being from/at either Chicago Motors or Asia Motors. None of the pictures from those resellers had a light bar on them. They were all in the $18995 range. VIN numbers searched for: 6G1MK5R24DL820417...

I'm not 100% certain here, since I haven't had to do anything with the fuel system, but those screw-type hose clamps are not factory. Yes, someone's been under there 'fixin' things!!

Wheel hub swap completed today. It was only 95 outside, but it was a wet. heat. :lol: It went surprisingly well, considering the car is from the rust belt.

As-promised, here's what I did: When we took our '18 Tahoe PPV in for new tires, I removed the hub caps myself for safe keeping while the tire monkeys did their thing. When we got it back, and I was checking the wheel nut torque and reattaching the hub caps, I discovered that one of the dam spacers ...

Ordered GM P/N 92292578 radio knob to replace the OEM volume knob that broke on me. Fit is perfect! Ordered another for spares for when the tuning knob shatters.

Dragging this up from the dead. :mrgreen: Had the volume knob fall off the radio yesterday. It's come loose before, but this time I had a closer look, and the very thin plastic that goes around the volume stem is now broken. I'll be attempting to repair it, and probably even reinforce it with some ...

It never ceases to amaze me how much dust you guys in SA get on their cars, but that IS the environment. :D With any kind of 'knock', I'd expect to plan for an engine rebuild, and hope you get lucky. Like you said, w/o a battery, you can't scan for codes OR even hear where/how bad the noise is. The ...
