    Bad Move

    When gas was cheap, a Saturn of some sort was my primary vehicle. A year ago as it started climbing again I pulled the trigger on an '04 SWB Sierra 5.3 with only 49K, and put a Flowmaster on it as well. Stupid, but man do I love it.
  2. Old body style S-10s/Blazers. First learned to drive on an '85 S-10. I remember visiting often down here in FL as a kid admiring sporty (IMO) looking 2WD 2dr S-10 Blazers, a rare sight in the midwest, being everywhere. They are all but gone anymore.
  3. Henry Ford Museum also if going to Detroit.
  4. IIRC the manuals used to say to warm the trans fluid for a few minutes, to something like 105-110° then remove the check plug. It should just begin to run out when filled correctly. I don't know about an '05 but a number of late 90's-early '00s 4T40Es used to have issues with the pressure control solenoid causing poor shift quality.
  5. Under the dash on the pass. side. Remove the trim panel under there and it will be right next to the motor with a short wire harness coming out of it.
  6. The new bolts likely just have that pre-applied threadlocker stuff on to them. I think I would just clean them well and apply some new red grade threadlocker if you're real concerned about them.
  7. FWIW, the new AC plugs for both my 3800 Camaro and my mother's Regal were actually NGK-made Iridium plugs, just with different box/labeling on the insulator. There were NGK markings on the metal shank of the plugs. IIRC, the AC plugs on my 2.2 Ecotec Saturn were the same way when I bought them. I think the actual AC Spark Plug plant in Flint was shut down awhile back.
  8. Haven't seen a fairly unmolested CRX like that in years. Nice!
  9. As long as they do it right next time. The VTi trans some Saturn VUEs and IONs for a while probably has the shortest typical lifespan of any ATX out there. GM is lucky they didn't put that thing into any better selling models or it would have been a fiasco.
  10. They did a pretty good parody of the women's version on Saturday Night Live a while back. "The Shake Weight Dvd"
  11. Silver CTS coupe. Pretty nice looking. The tail seemes a bit more swoopy than the pics suggested IMO.
  12. Introducing the new Tacoma TRD with RST frame technology.
  13. I Ford using "show" was rather dumb sounding as well. Then again Hyundai has embraced the mis-pronunciation of there whole brand.
  14. The 5.3 stock exhaust does sound way cooler than a 4.8 though. The box could be screwed straight into the box rails. There are no-drill clamps that can be used to hold them down but they are usually sold separately and many people don't seem to spend the extra $15-20 for them.
  15. About anything AMC thats not a Jeep or the occasional Eagle wagon.
