And of course the SS just has many more circuits because it has so many more features.

Re: Upgrading Sound System in 11-13 Cars

Re: 2014 heater core

Re: 14+ V8 alternator

The clutches, or Overriding Alternator Pulley or OAP are very advantageous to have as opposed to a straight pulley. The amount of vibration and fluctuations they prevent is very good for the long term wear of all the pulley systems.

Re: Steering Column Wont Slide On

You have the clamping bolt removed yes?

That bolt has to come out, slide on then bolt back into the slot at the steering shaft has a grooved slot for the bolt.
