Due to my neck getting worse, I am having to sell my 2 Vettes. I sold the 2008 Last Monday, & just sold my 82 today. The 82 will be headed to Arkansas. I will fill lost without them, but life will go on! As Symda did, I will hang around to enjoy the conversation. I also will also try and help...

I have been looking for the problem of my steering slop. Today by accident I think I located the culprit. Should the control valve stud at the Pitman Arm move before the wheels move. Manually rotating the steering column, the steering linkage does not move when the steering box is moved. There...

I need to install new rods in the hinges on my rear compartment doors. What is the trick of getting the new rods through the new door panels. The holes might be under sized. I know someone has to have had this problem.

I purchased a 2000 F150 4x4 last week. I have an engine knock that has me stumped. When I crank the engine cold it sounds fine. I put the truck in drive , and it knocks for around 5 to 10 seconds. After that it goes away. I am not that familiar with this engine. I am assumming that it has a cam...

What would cause my 82 to have very sensitive steering at speeds of 55 & higher. At slower speeds everything feels ok. The steering box doesn't seem to have any slop in it that I can tell. This all started after the alignment was done. While doing the alignment the guy helping me, recommended...

I want to buy a new wireless router. Everytime I open a thread with alot of pictures, it will lock up & knock me off the internet. I have to unplug the router to get back on the internet. I currently have a Netgear WPN824. What is everybody else using, and what do I need to be looking for?

I bought some Cragar SS Alloy's from them. After Putting the 17" on the car I did not like the way they looked. They took them back minus shipping. Not many people would do that. Good People.:thumbs:

Why does GM use relays to power fuel injectors & coil packs in the newer cars. There is typically 4 connections used on the relay out of a possible 5. Is it used for a switching function when the ignition switch is either on or off? After the relays there is also a fuse to protect the ckt. Why...

Thanks for the reply. I decided to go with a LS1 motor. I got a good deal on it. Now the neck is getting in the way again. Looks like I will put things off until after surgery.

My 04 starts squeaking almost everytime I wash it. It is starting to drive me crazy.:bonkers: Is this a common thing on a C5, and what might be causing it?

I would probably better to go ahead and sell the 4L60E, & buy the correct one locally. I then would have the correct bellhousing, converter, and the right internals. I can pick up a rebuilt one for around 500.00. The 700R4 is still not out of the question. Thanks

I talked with a transmission repair shop today concerning the 4L60E. I was told that the pump shaft is probably a differnent length, and the servo's were different. I guess I will put this one up for sell & buy the V8 model.

Are we saying that the converters are different based on application for stall? Does this mean that the tranny internals are built the same? Just trying to confirm if the tranny is usable. Thanks
