Thougth I'd try again on this one. Still have the rear "thumping" sound in the rear end. I spoke with my mechanic, who said that the shocks are solid as is the entire suspension system. HELP!

I had my LT1 engine rebuilt because it threw a rod and had it professionaly rebuilt by a large company that has been around for decades and everything was replaced wtith new parts where they could be. But now my car is slower off the line and overall.

Before I could smash the pedal and the tires (posi) would chirp going into 2nd and I could peel out and just had great acceleration off the line. Now it feels real sluggish.

I'd like to add this is a 96 Caprice and I have now put a good 5-6k miles on it over the last year since it was rebuilt.

It was great one day....leaked oil....but ran awesome....then it blew....was rebuilt and now it doesnt perform to how I feel the LT1 should.

The gears are 2:93 and its a tow package B4U and I have no exhaust upgrades and stock cats. Could a fresh engine and old exhaust cause such a HUGE difference? I can't even peel out with the brake pedal to the floor.

Unfortunately, it's looking like SUVs and sports cars and other vehicles with guzzle gas are going to stop being made and no one's gonna buy them anymore. I would much rather have an 8-cylinder like a Camaro Z28 or a Firebird TransAM. Everyone else might be switching to tiny, unsafe, wimpy Hybrid cars that can't take a hit in a collison and take all day to go from 0 to 60.
I wouldn't wanna be caught dead in one of those degrading, ugly vehicles that I find to be a joke. I would much have that 300+ HP from a Firebird or a Camaro. They look more cool, are much faster, and are a little safer in case of an accident.



I hope the decreased sales will mean lower prices, not the other way around.

Recently, our 2003 YukonXL has been having electric seat problems. The up button goes down, and down goes up. Then the next week, the forward button sent the seat back and the back button sent the seat forward. This is just weird. Does anyone have the answer?

Front carpet gets wet when a/c is running. Mechanic says drain was clear, but didn't know what caused wet carpet. Due to low $$$ supply, I need to see if someone can show me a photo or diagram of the drain or the evaporator tube.

Can anyone recommend a good one that is reasonably priced? I want to get a vinyl cover that is velcro - not snap. I have been looking but there are too many - ranging from $200 to $500 - I assume the more money the longer they will last. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The front bumper of my sister's car was ruined when she ran over a blown tire from a tractor trailer. Should she have gotten the liscense plate number of the tractor trailer and made an accident report? Whose fault would it have been?

Hi,

A small part (a 2"ish plastic collar) appeared in my drivers footwell today and appeared to have broken off somewhere under the dash. The engine noise seemed to increase suddenly when this happened. I can't notice any difference when driving it but the extra noise in un-nerving. Does this sound like anything major or should I just carry on driving it untill I can get it to a garage?

Cheers,
Chris

I live in NJ and saw on the site that it is a 50 question test. If a person fails, could they take it over again? Also, what are the details that I need to study in particular? Thanks.

I don't have GPS device, but someone told me that it doesn't work throught the roof, as the roof is the obstacle; it requires direct sight to the satellite, just like DirecTV's antenna.

Also, how long does a Porsche last, given that it has routine maintenance (every 15k miles, rebuild at high mileage), approximately? If there are a lot of factors, can you give a guess given that everything is average?

Alright here's what has been going on. A few days ago I noticed the my explorer (v6 4wd) was kind of hicupping??? I don't know how to explain it. It thought it was that it was just up there in miles and I was driving with the ac on. Then yesterday someone cut me off... i had to stop quickly and when i started to go yesterday there were very clear hesitation like it was jerking. I decided to head to my moms house to see what was wrong on the way it was like it was hicupping and rickety the whole thing seem to be vibrating like an old truck... I don't know how to explain it really. It wasn't accelerating right and seemed to be loosing power. My stepdad took it for a ride and of course i looked like a loon cause it didn't do it again. I took it to auto zone and said it needed a tune up (new plugs and wires specifically) which honestly I haven't done in over two years. I bought that and my step dad started on it. two of the plugs are seized and he can't get them out

The only other Honda I ever owned was a lemon, and I'd really like to have another Buick, but with gas prices still being high, I am tempted to buy it, just to save money on gas. Any ideas?
