Nice!

 

Stared sadly at mine. Got in a fender bender Saturday, now she isn't driveable. I can fix it, just maddening that this happened so close to graduation.

 

Sigh.

Looking great!

Amazing how so many don't take the time to keep their vehicles nice.

Nice what did you get it for?

$4350, over book but I think with all the new/upgrade it was a decent deal.

Nice - all the difficult and expensive stuff seems to be done already, aside from the rear main.

 

Our '86 Grand Marquis has been leaking there for the past 13 years of ownership. We just buy oil by the 5 gallon pail. :)

Going to Jack it way up and try to clean the undercarriage. Also troubleshoot a singalbthat won't light up(hope its a bulb, might be a socket)

thatll clean up easy lol

 

Ditch the steering wheel cover too

Wow, got a little hot there, aye? Chernobyl socket ... :lol:

The guy put it on because that GM high quality soft rubber rim started to disintegrate. Think I'll just get one of those wheelskins. Had one on my BMW and they look good.

 

I replaced it, it will light up, but it still won't blink. Google results on Camaro sites say next step is a new relay, another common problem.

Flasher fixed it. I bought the last socket so have to wait until they restock or run by other stores until I find another. They all work, for now, but I want a spare. The other front socket wasn't far behind. I think it has been replaced before also.

 

What's wierd is Amazon says they have it but the pic is way off. But that seems to be common with them and auto parts so might try another if I can't find one locally(cheaper at local stores than amazon).

Going to go for a ride tonight in the 700 RWHP monster Camaro. :thumbs:

Guess this confirms the rear main? (I AM asking)

Okay guys I cleaned it all up underneath(not super clean but removed all the freshish oil, the super old stuff will need a chisel) and it looked like this:

    • Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter. 
    • Cool to see another Vermonter!
    • I have changed oil and filter for years by starting a cold engine to warm oil up, let it run 5-10 minutes depending on temperature. Drain until it starts dripping, refill with quantity from owners manual or get it close.   
    • I changed the factory fill oil in the rear diff of my truck for the first time today and the miles is close to 9000 on the truck. There was a lot of fines on the magnet, a very thick layer but working it through my fingers it all felt like mush and as most know it appears like graphite, so no surprise chunks anyway. Certainly was time to do it from my thinking and could have been done sooner but the oil didn't look awful but sure wasn't new looking and never expected it to either. I did use some solvent to help me clean out the bottom area of the axle housing, just get any other stuff settled at the bottom washed and wiped out of the housing for the bit of effort it takes. I used Amsoil Severe Gear 75W90 in the easy packs to try out what they are like and I used up 4 packs and didn't spill much at all in the process but did take all four of the packs and go to the work bench and emptied them into a measuring container and there certainly was some in them that added up to something, then poured that into one of the easy packs and squirted in what I could get out of it. I would say the level is within 1/8th of an inch of being level with the threads at the fill plug so just the perfect amount. Once again, more than what GM says the fill volume is but computes with what others are adding to their rear diffs as well.
