    Digital O2 meter

    Selling my O2 monitor. It is a digital 02 meter that hooks directly to the 02 sensor circuit so the values are "updated 2.5 times per second. Large LED display is bright and easy to read. Check your 02 volts at a glance." Is this one, but without the knock detector. I have that as a separate...

    Just started to stumble/backfire...why?

    Parked the car 7 weeks ago with a fresh tank of gas. It ran great. Today I take her out for a car cruise and as soon as I start to build boost she begins to stumble. If I push it I get a backfire under the hood and loss of power. I let up and can cruise all day until I build boost. Stock...

    Torque on differential cover bolts?

    Anyone know the TQ for the rear diff bolts? I was told 30ftlbs by a GM guy but want to clarify from a TR owner.

    are my diff clutches going bad?

    Posted this on the other tb.com site because I thought it was this site. Wondered why it said I hadn't been online there in a while. Oh well...getting old I guess. Anywho... A while ago I changed the fluid in the diff. Put in Royal Purple and added some GM anti-chatter. When I make sharp...

    T-top headliner replacement is simple.

    So a month ago when I took the GN for a ride for some reason I felt the need to put my hand up and check if the headliner was sagging. Well...like memory foam, my handprint stayed. I bought a replacement from G-body and it was a breeze to get in. The problem with the old one was the...

    How full - diff fluid?

    I have the Moser TA aluminum diff cover. There is a drain hole and what I believe is the fill hole (top half of cover). It seems to be at the same level as the filler hole on the diff. Do I use that hole and fill to the rim? Or use the one on the front of the diff? Will

    How to remove broken downpipe/turbo bolts?

    So like a dumb a$$ I didn't wait long enough for the penetrating oil to soak in. Started turning them and long story short, the top two turbo to DP bolts are snapped off. There is zero thread showing from the exhaust housing to grab with vice grips. Hoped the pipe would seal up well enough...

    Friend gave me his 1977 kz650 : - )

    Last time he rode it was 1988. Put it away after riding to the store. One thing drove another out of his mind and next thing you know, it's summer of 2011. I'm at his house for a party and he says "someday I should fix that up and get it on the road....but..." We talked...I offered to...

    Is there a gasket for TH downpipe???

    I never noticed it before, but I now have a slight exhaust 'fart' sound coming from the flange where my THDP meets the exhaust side of the turbo. I checked the bolts and they are all snug, or at least rusted into place :) Anyway, is there some gasket I should have used when I mated the...

    greenish-gray oil???

    this is the second year in a row I've done the spring oil change and the oil is a gray/green color. Looks like nasty split pea soup. No coolant loss, no 'more' oil in the pan than expected. I run ZDDP additive and 111 Octane. Is it the lead in the gas turning the oil that color? Will

    Looking for TR-friendly shop to do converter install.

    I was going to use a friend's lift and trans jack to swap converters, but that probably isn't going to happen now. Can't do it lying on my back in the garage..so..looking for a shop near Dexter (Ann Arbor) to take the GN to. I checked the dealership and they want 400+ for the job. Hoping...

    Drove the GN to work for the 1st time

    Today I thought "what the hay....let's do it!" and drove the GN to work. She is parked in the structure with the common cars. I got out and did the walk around to make sure she looks as good as possible....and noticed that on the way to work, my passenger rear center cap decided to leap...

    Anyone own a Class A toy hauler?

    Seeking opinions on Class A toy haulers. Hoping someone here has one :-) This is essentially the beast but not that engine. I want the Workhorse chassis 8.1L Vortec V-8 engine w/6 speed Allison automatic transmission with overdrive, not the Ford setup. 2011 Damon Outlaw 3611 So...if...

    Shelby Mustang???

    Was out in the GN tonight and pulled up alongside a white mustang (current model body). It had a stripe and said "SHELBY" across the back. Sounded nice, had large pipes. I didn't look over as I usually don't race but when the light turned green and he/she (never saw driver) dropped the...

    111 octane fuel??

    I run 110 and just found a station that sells 111. Never heard of 111 octane before. Is it ok to use in the GN? It is about 75 cents cheaper than the station that sells 110. Wilil

    Can I mix dex3 and dex 6?

    going to change the filter and fluid in the pan and am reading some good things about Dex 6 synthetic fluid. I won't be able to get all the fluid in there now out so if I switch to 6 it will become a mixture of the two. Is that ok? Will

    AC Trans filter = $$$ ??

    I just called local dealership for a new filter. Comes with gasket and is $89.00 Is that a fair price for a tranny filter with gasket? I would like to stay GM/AC in my parts but if there is something else like Wicks or whatever that will be as good for a fraction of the price I am all...

    should I bother swapping the TC?

    A friend has a few TC's lying around and said I could have any of them if I wanted. One is a 12" and one is smaller but I don't remember...might be 10". Not reaaalllyyy sure what the size has to do with much but I suppose smaller is lighter. He said they both stall around 3000 +/- So, on my...

    GN won't start/idle

    Took the 87 out last night and it ran great. First run of the year so always tense :-) Went to start it today and nada...zip...nothing. It cranks and I hear the pump running. It wanted to run but acted like it wasn't getting enough gas. I jammed a spark plug box (empty and flattened)...
