This week when I took out my 87 GN and hammered on it, it started to ping bad at high RPM and both red boost lights are lit. The same thing happens if I floor it on the highway at any speed when the RPMs climb and so does the boost to dual red leds. Before it used to hit 1 red then it would...

Guys, I just finished doing the front and rear brakes on my 87 GN along with 2 new rear emerg brake cables. Do the rear brake adjusters really work when you backup? I went to an empty parking lot and did a few backups hitting the brakes lightly. How fast and how hard should you put the...

Do you recommend knocking out the tab on the rear drums to take a feeler gauge measurement for the correct drag for cooling after doing the rear brakes or just going by how snug it is when you slide the drum on?

Guys, I replaced both rear brake wheel cylinders since I replaced the rear shoes/springs and for those who have replaced the wheel cyl know that they don't have 2 mounting bolts to bolt to the backing plate but use locking clips. One side is slightly looser than the other side. Is this ok for...

I replaced both rear brake shoes with a new spring kit and both emerg brake cables and wondered how many clicks on the emerg pedal I need to hear until the shoes lock up the drums. I have a slight drag on the shows so I could get the drums on. Chilton says 2. I have made it 3. I have not bled...

Guys, I'm replacing both emergency cables on my 87 GN and wondered if I should apply some sort of lub on the outside of the casing that in exposed to the elements. If I apply a wet brake grease then it will attract dirt etc but keep the water out. So would I apply a wet brake grease or a dry...

Guys I can't remember what I used in the past to lub up the high spots in the rear shoes contact points to the packing plate and other areas for pins etc. Do I use white lithium grease or the high temp brake lub that you use on the front calipers?

Doing a brake job on the front and rear due to a siezed emerg cable, a bit of a cyl leak and worn shoes anyways. Does anyone have a photo or pic from a book of the brake wheel cyl and the locking clip installed? I haven't taken my shoes/springs off yet to see the old one and just wanted to...

Guys, I took my 87 GN out tonight and smelt something burning and thought it was the car next to me at the lights. It turns out that my rear drivers side emerg cable is seized and won't release the shoes. And yes the wheel was hot. I'm going to look at it tomorrow. Will I be able to get the drum...

Guys, I'm installing one of these shifters and when I pressed my plunger down the steel threaded part is jamming where the plastic piece screws on and doesn't always want to come up. I have been able to free it up but it seems it's stuck now. I've shot WD-40 and white lithium down there to...

Does anyone know what the amperage is for the GM battery for a 87 Grand National? Thx in advance.

Guys, what do you use to keep the front spoiler clean and black? In the past I've used no touch tire spray or GM tire treatment. I noticed when I changed from Rust Check rust proofing to Krown, the Krown litterly made my front spoiler worp and wavy and they did nothing to correct the problem but...

Guys, is the 4th gear pressure switch a 1 or 2 wire connection. GM no longer sells this part. Anyone know if NAPA sells it. I'm in Canada and don't want a UPS order from the US. Those crooks just screw us over. If we buy a part worth $50.00, UPS will charge me about $50. for processing and...

I have 120k mi on my '87 GN and am planning on changing the fluid and filter since I need to change my TCC solenoid switch due to an increase in RPM by 1 bar on the tach and back down while in OD the odd time. It's like I'm lightly touching my brake pedal with the gas pedal still on (TCC test)...

Guys, it's been 3 years now since I've changed my engine/rad coolant. I was thinking since I've saved some distilled water from my dehumidifier from last summer that I can use it with my antifreeze rather than tap water. I notice that Prestone now sells their jugs already mixed with deminerized...

Guys, I have a coolant leak in my heater control valve and it looks like it's leaking from the outside area of the square mounting area for the lever where it's scewed in. Is this repairable? Does the dealer still sell them? Or can I fix this? Car is a 87 GN.

Guys, I own a '87 GN and it still has the original factory laquer paint that has spider webs on the hood and a bit on the fenders. I have no plans to strip it yet, but want to know the best wax I can use to get rid of the grey cloudy black paint. I used a liquid paste on a buffer and it came...
