Re: Oil leak diagnosis

I don't have much against the Northstars, it just seems that the problems are worse when they happen and they happen all at once.

They're just magnified because of the difficulty of working around said engine in an engine bay designed for a V6. However, I will have to say, I still want to find ...

Replaced the tires still have the vibration back to the dealer again....

I had this issue with my 01 Aurora (another G body with Northstar based power train). As CMNTMXR57 said before...RUN AWAY!

There was an issue with these cars that GM knows about.

Re: Fog Lights?

Not sure if I would recommend 55W, you're going to be stretching the limits of a projector meant for lower lumen halogen bulbs, and will most likely have glare issues. A 35W H3 HID kit will already be pretty bright and glare won't be an issue.

Also can't be sure of the longevity and quality of ...

Re: Extended Warranty Sources ?

NEVER, EVER, EVER, buy an extended warranty that ISN'T an extended of your manufacturer's warranty!

They are utter, absolute nightmares for you, the service department, and anyone else involved! Since this is a GM vehicle, ONLY get a GMPP.

GMPP wont be offered for the car because of the age...I ...
