Come to think of it, this started happening sometime after I replaced the transmission pan with a new deep pan. I can unplug the TCC connector and drive it. If I do get another short with it plugged in, how do you check for a short? Do I look for a low resistance to ground on each prong with...

I unplugged the connector to the top brake switch that feeds the TCC solenoid. I also unplugged the connector to the TCC solenoid at the transmission. Re-plugged back in and took for a drive and the fuse now holds. Does anyone have any ideas what is going on. This is driving me crazy.

I keep blowing the 10 amp ECM/SOL fuse that feeds one of the two brake switches followed by the engine compartment solenoids (wastegate, canister, EVRV and AC clutch). When disconnecting the three wire pink/blk pink/blk purple connector from the vacuum release valve on the brake pedal, the fuse...

The car was the GN through the hooker exhaust with no cat. In the Houston area you can get Sunoco 104 unleaded at the track. There is another racing fuels store nearby that sells Trac Tec (formerly Phillips 66 race gas) 104. When I pulled up to get the time slip the lady said "I've got bad...

It was cold (45 deg F), clear with no wind at Houston Raceway Park tonight. With my RA100 chip, 20 psi boost and 104 unleaded the GN went 11.77 @ 113 mph. 60' time was 1.725 with a zero psi boost launch to keep the nitto's from spinning. Never gone this fast before.

Does anyone know someone who has actually taken delivery of one of these cars? All I know is what I've read. I'm interested in hearing about the performance, handling, quality, and workmanship of this car from someone who owns one.

87 T light blue, blackout trim with blue interior. Purchased at dealer in 87 with 1,500 miles on it.

The information I've obtained on an 86 GN is consistent with what b4black stated; the GN was not an official body style in 86. When I've entered the VIN number in CARFAX or in my insurance company's database, the car comes up as a 1986 Buick Regal T-Type. I think the only way to confirm if it...

Non-turbo regals with the T package were made in 1987. I've heard that Buick used the "Oldsmobile" 307 cu. in. V8 motor in the Regal. Therefore, there were some T package 1987 Regals produced with this normally aspirated V8 motor. The three options that make an 87 equivalent to an 86 T-Type...

Plenty of clearance if swaybar is centered. The top of my swaybar is just touching the shroud at that point; no rattles or vibration though. Their web site is back up and noticed that he has a special on for $650. I paid $670 a 6 weeks ago.

The sway bar actually goes through a penetration in the shroud. The shroud is two pieces which can be removed individually or together. I decided to remove the bottom piece, drop the sway bar, install it from the bottom and then put the sway bar back in followed by the bottom shroud piece. I...

My T has high miles and had many squeaks from the front end. The upper control arms were the major problem. Replaced both upper and lower control arm bushings with polygraphite-paid someone to do that. Went ahead and replaced the sway bar and end link bushings with polygraphite for another...

Recently installed this intercooler in the GN. Unit shipped two days after order per supplier's commitment. It comes complete with new passenger side bracket, 3" hose for up-pipe connection and 2" x 2 1/2" bump hose for compressor discharge to intercooler connection plus four hose clamps...

Why do you recommend the AFS-22 GNX O2 sensor instead of the AFS-20 sensor that is stock on the GN's and T's?

I'm in the Houston Buick club and have never seen either of these cars. When I pull up the Autotrader ad shows the burgandy T to be 175 miles from Houston and the white T 225 miles from Houston. The white T has a phone number with a 214 area code which is Dallas.
