My cat has been rattling really bad and finally i got the P0420 code so i am assuming the cat is shot! I also mad a huge mistake today and re-did plugs and wires and left the upstream O2 sensors unplugged and the female side fell back onto the cat and melted it!! STUPID!!! Since I need a new cat ...

Okay so I had smelled antifreeze burnt smell but could not find leak anywhere. I noticed corrosion from fluids around the thermostat housing and on the sensor, also by the alternator, looked like that white pitting from fluids on the metal, i also noticed a little smoke once in a while under hood ...

Thanks to all for the support here guys. Things got nasty, he called me into the shop and we had a one on one. First he went out to my car and measured the height of the underside of the bumper and then measured how high his lift would have had to be and says to me, "we would have had to drive right ...

Thanks for the vote of confidence Ryan. I just wanted to make sure i'm not being a picky jerk here. I just assumed when he told me Monroe Quickstruts that it would be the product i got instead of Econo Struts.

So here is my NIGHTMARE. Went to new mechanic that promised to do great work with better rates than the major shops out there. I drilled him a bit and decided to give him a chance. First issue was the replacement of struts. He recommended Monroe Quickstruts. I say to him I am a member of a Pontiac ...

Thanks Ryan, can you paint too??? LOL I will need to have rear GXP spoiler sanded and gotta get matching paint before it goes on? The bumper isn't bad, a few spiders but if dent comes out its the underside, buff out the yellow scuffs and its fine by me, theres no paint chipped at all. One more thing ...

Here is the dent Ryan, you think you can pull this out? I'll come this weekend, I'll kick you a few bucks to do heated seat and this dent, driving me crazy!!

Ryan, I am building my list for you buddy. I went back and took my old struts back to get the original springs back, I bought the GXP spoiler from Andrew because I have a crack in my stock one, I need to get it painted, I need to fix my heated seat, I'm gonna get the radio buttons for my steering ...

Well I guess I need him to confirm what part number they gave him, either he got the wrong shocks or like you said the fittings have been changed before but I find that hard to believe because it looked like the original struts and shocks are what came off the car? Was there more than one type of ...

So Monroe Max Air MA822 are black? They show them as white? I would do a lot of this work but went through divorce, lost house on the golf course with the big garage and all the tools!! Tough to do stuff in cold and snow, not for me!!

Annnndrrreeeewwwww, buddy i totally believe you!!! Seriously do not take offense to this post, I just thought I would throw it out here and see what types of feedback I would get and maybe options!! I swear buddy I totally trust in every word you say! I just noticed on Oreilly's site that the Air ...

Well my mechanic tells me my rear air shock mounts were bad and he was replacing them, I tell him while your at it, Oreilly's sells the replacement Monroe air shocks for $64 bucks, so he says he will pick them up. Well I have been noticing my rear is low and i'm not hearing compressor go off so i ...

I need rear spoiler, mine is cracked on one of the wing tips and the underside backing and support all broke off making it weak, I think was car wash damage maybe? Thanks to Andrew a GXP spoiler is in route!! It was a tough decision to go with the GXP spoiler but I have had issue's in the past with ...

Yeah I have seen many LED interiors, night and day how good it is. I really was leaning on doing red lights but I was worried it wouldn't be clear enough to actually read something and would be more for looks. What I did was ordered 2 extras in red with several bulb adapters and I'm gonna put them ...

Carl, I can't thank you enough my friend. I ordered a bunch of LED'S and I will see what i'm missing and with your list I can now identify which ever ones my order won't work on. I may even wire my own for the hood, always nice to have good lighting under hood when in need! Thanks again.

So far so good no code coming up after just filling the coolant reservoir, and i notice my gauge reads between 180 to 200 degrees perfectly, i'll cross my fingers that it was just low on coolant in reservoir.

No offense taken and to be honest i would prefer it lower too. I actually like the rear looking low the way it is now but i wish the front was lower as well, i wouldn't mind that more slammed look. My mechanic seems to think he can get the back to raise a little and he thinks the front will settle a ...

Okay, i'm so confused looking at so many sites showing different numbers for interior light bulbs. Here is what i need and think i may have figured out:

2002 Bonneville SLE

Map lights - the 2 in front - 578?
Dome lights - 1 on each side for rear seats? - 578 as well or are they 563, 906, or 168 ...

I don't know about it looking embarrasing and just awful, i think that is a bit harsh and overkill. I gotta believe they will settle a bit and if i can get the rears just a hair higher it won't be bad at all but i do understand when you look at it as a comparison it stands out. When you just look at ...

Well here is what everyone warned about with the front ride height when replacing struts with Monroe quick struts. I am wondering is the back end lower now because of the front height increase or somehow is the new Monroe air shock setup not right? I can tell you this much, the car rides and handles ...
