Re: Sway bar end link recommendations?

Thanks.Stupid question but they come pre greased I’m guessing? As in I don’t need to grease them before installing?

Thank you.

Disable "display" in center console? (2011 PPV)

Earlier this week I was driving late at night through some very dark roads, and the glow from the display (radio/HVAC) was really bothering me - is there any way to shut it off, but still have it be working (2011 PPV)? I stream music via Bluetooth from my phone, but don't need to actually see the di...

Re: Pending code issue - looking for help....

So I brought the car into another shop this morning. They said it's "inspection ready" but said I would not pass because my rear passenger windows are tinted. And that the DMV has been sending shops letters and it's been the law since 2017.... So this weekend either I spend a few hours wit...

Re: Pending code issue - looking for help....

It is possible that I'm not driving it enough, but how long is long enough? I last reset the codes about 100 miles ago (maybe a little less?) Right now my cheap-o OBD2 scan tool shows one pending code for "EV" (that's all it shows). When I dropped it off they said it was reporting two subs...

Re: Pending code issue - looking for help....

Yeah thanks, it's a P0442
It's been really hot here in NY lately, so like you said that's working against me.

Looks like the vent valve requires dropping the rear end (unless I'm looking at the wrong part?) That's "above my pay grade" as they say - so off to the shop it goes.

Pending code issue - looking for help....

I'm so frustrated with the NY State inspection system. Last week I dropped off my 2011 stock (except for cat back) Caprice at the local station for an inspection. Car has no codes on it, only time it's even thrown a code was when I had a fuel injector stop working, and once I replaced it the code we...
