I am selling my GN, with the mods listed in my sig. The engine has about $10k in it, but has developed a rattling sound when you hold it at a steady rpm and give it a little gas (like around 1500). The guy who built it told me he thought it might be a piston. We blew a head gasket about a year...

Wanted to give a tip on charging the Optima batteries. Maybe everyone already knows this, but I wasn't told when I bought mine. I have an Optima Red Top. I found out the hard way that you cannot perform a "quick charge" on these batteries. They require a "deep cycle charge", which I guess is...

I talked with the pastor of Second Baptist Church in Clarksville, Arkansas tonight and he told me that he just saw a Grand National there. He said it looked like it had white or yellow lettered tires, like a Nascar rig. He was pastor at a church here in Baytown where I led the music, and he knew...

Anyone on this board with a TR (black with aftermarket rims) in Dayton, Texas today around 3pm? I saw one coming out of the Dayton High School parking lot on Highway 321 as I was passing through. I couldn't see it too well. It was a few cars ahead and turned left just after the high school.

I have an '87 GN T-Top car. Excellent paint, new T-top seals (no leaks), very good interior. Probably have $20k in the car with half of that in the motor. See my sig for details on the motor. The engine has developed sort of a knock and has been diagnosed by the engine builder as a piston. We...

I have a Lincoln Weld-Pak 100 Wirefeed welder for sale. It is in almost new condition. It runs on regular household 110volt current. It includes the MIG conversion kit (regulator, gauge, hose, solenoid), along with a cheesy handheld hood, plus some extra tips and MIG wire. You will have to...

I have two Weld ProStars for sale. They are 15 x 7, 5 lug, 3.75 lug pattern, and 4.0" backspacing. They are in very good condition. Center caps are included, but one has some small dents in it. No lug nuts come with them. Cannot ship. Buyer must pick up. I live in Baytown, Texas near Houston...

The changes in appearance look great. It's easier to read. I appreciate all that you guys do. :)

I am currently running well-worn BFG Radial T/A's on the rear of my GN. They are 275/50/15. I am looking for the tread design that is kind of V-shaped, like Nitto's or something similar. I am having a rough time finding that size tire. No one I talked to stocks them. I don't want more BFG Radial...

I was leaving Willis, near Conroe, after a visit with my brother and had stopped at a new Exxon station on FM 830, west of I-45. This was about 5:30 this evening (Saturday). I was filling up my GN and looked up and there was a super clean GN (could have been a T-Type) passing by, headed west...

My wife and I just returned from Hawaii Sunday morning (our time) where we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary. What a beautiful place! To me, Hawaii has it all, mountains, plants, trees, and of course, the beautiful water. All I had ever seen before was the brown water of Galveston, Texas...

Sometimes I can accelerate from a stop (normal driving), and the car does fine. Other times it will hesitate when you crack the throttle. Sometimes, it will die. Could this be the TPS? If I've ever replaced it, I can't remember it. I've had the car for almost 13 years.

Pulled up at a garage yesterday and this '02 Camaro pulls up beside me and threw a couple of revs. I just ignored and got out of my car. A young guy gets out and wants to see under the hood. I show him and he says, "Will those add a lot of horsepower?" (pointing to the turbo). I said, "Yeah."...

Does anyone know where I can find one or two of the rubber gaskets that go under the door lock for '87 GN? Thanks in advance.

I have seen a GN for sale at two different locations on parking lots on Alexander Dr. in Baytown. There are not that many GNs in Baytown. Does this belong to someone on this board? I was thinking it might belong to polin2424, a board member.

I installed a new oil pressure sending unit from O'Reilly's a couple of weeks ago. My old one was leaking. A few days ago, I pulled in the garage and I was still in drive with the brake on. I noticed the oil light on. Long story short, ended up changing oil to make sure it hadn't been diluted...

Does anyone know at what pressure the stock oil light comes on? Mine shows about 17 lbs, hot and idling in drive on the Autometer gauge and the oil light will come on.

That's right. I was in a two lane right turn lane beside this new-looking Ford F-250 Crew Cab 4 wheel drive diesel. As we straightened out I mashed it a little and looked back and he was on it, belching black smoke. In a bit, we were side by side going about 45. I looked over and it was a...

Here's one more.

Here is the birthday card that my son made for me on my 63rd birthday (April 22). Not that big a deal nowadays with all the computer programs, but he is not a car person at all. I thought it was neat.
