Remove the center console and flip it over. Remove one of the screws that hold the top piece to the main piece (probably best...

    I need to replace the stock fan due to som cracked blades. I have noticed on the past few SUV's I have had (Bravada, and now the new TrailBlazer), they have belt driven fans that are plastic. Anyone know if any of these will fit our GN's? My Bravada was a V6, and my memory tells me it looks...

    Dealer says that the the t/v detent cable that goes to the tranny (25532115) is discontinued. Apparently no dealer in the country has one, and according to few links I have seen the aftermarket one doesn't work. Any ideas anyone? :confused:

    Best choice for new catalyctic converter?

    I have an 84 GN. The exhaust from the cat back is shot, so I am replacing it. I can't afford to do it all at once, so I am asking if the following is possible. I still have the original cat that the previous owner (my brother) accidently dropped a screwdriver in several times. Anyway, I...
