Do you still need a rod?

I have a Gen 6 I would sell. It's still in the car.

I have a few 109 blocks as well. I also have cranks, pistons, rods, heads, etc. I'm liquidating in Connecticut. :cool:

Being from New England, Labor day weekend has alway's been the premier BUICK event for me. I spent the day there on Sunday, I was disapointed. I would have enjoyed seeing your display Chris. Don't let a poor showing, change your marketing plan. Most people don't understand how...

LOL Ben, That is an accurate description of Sunday. When I paid at the gate, The kid said, there wasn't any Buick event! Information was tough to get. They called all grand nationals to lane 7. I showed up and was told to leave until quick 16 was called. I was only able to get 2 passes...

I have a few rods, I'll have to take some pics.

Congratulations! Congratulation's Mark! That's great that you are part of the team. I'm sure Bruce will appreciate a guy with your talents. P.S Don't forget to eat lunch once in a while. (inside joke):) :)

What part of Jersey are you from? I'll take a look at it if you like.

Every GM dealer has a computer that can search for TSB's. If you are friendly with one, they could look for you. There is an Internet site as well. I don't know the address, sorry.

That code usaully indicates a difference between input and output speed of the transmission. At one point the only way to fix the code, was to rebuild the unit. I recall a bulletin about increasing the threshold of slippage, before the code would set. You might try looking up that bulletin, I...

Without knowing the code, it's a guess. If it's only on the highway, my guess would be an O2 or evaporative emissions code. The only way to know for sure, is to put a scan tool on it.:)

I would be interested in the valve body.:cool:
