This Caprice is a $ Money Pit!
Re: This Caprice is a $ Money Pit!
I must be lucky, 170k miles and no issues. That's with me beating on my 9c1 like it owes me money. 3 drag racing events, several road trips, did Uber part time, and abused on the Chicago streets.

Where can I find out more about this?CrashTestDummy wrote:... there's a recall on the engine cooling fans
I looked under recalls and did not see it listed.
I also ran my VIN and only found the ignition key and seat belt recalls...

Re: This Caprice is a $ Money Pit!
I believe it is actually a TSB, not a recall. I made my own fan setup for about $160. I've been meaning to do a write-up on it, but with a new baby in the house time has been like a mythical thing.

I have seen the repair bulletin, nothing to report there really, just says to replace the fan motors if defective.
One Note it does say covers 2011-2015 PPV's - 6 year 100k Miles

Step 1 You need to do your own work.
Step 2 Don't buy from the dealer.
I must be lucky as well 86k mi, 2500 idle hr and modifying, not fixing.
Fridley, MN must not of rammed on their cars like other Dept. But they mostly chase their criminals on foot so i hear.
I asked them for the maintenance records on my car and received them a week later. How nice of them
