AK is going to need a semi to bring Grain Belt to Cleveland.

I seem to remember that turning off the traction control on my
2016 Regal changed the stall speed. It works the same on my Terrain.
Did you try that?

20240909_124240.jpg 20240909_122841.jpg Do I need to make some sort of adapter bracket to lower the height of the hitch ball, to level out the trailer tongue? As long as you make sure the weight is on the tongue the correct way, BP is right, you should be good to go. If you had an insert type hitch...

GM, it looks like your Elco is getting more valuable by the day... https://www.hagerty.com/media/market-trends/hagerty-insider/these-four-pickups-and-suvs-added-the-most-value-this-summer/?hashed_email=4d960eecc29acc074ec4c633c4f5576aeb37c4bf8bf845529a1da33eda8f9b4e&dtm_em=4d960eecc29acc074ec4c...

2,070….So, after repairing the horn, I was left with a steering wheel that was crooked. Apparently, the install crew felt it was easier to break off the plastic stub and bolt the wheel on wherever looked straight instead of adjusting the tie rods to make the wheel straight the correct way. I’ve neve...

When I did the wheel upgrade, I ran two thin washers behind the wheels to make sure I had clearance on the calipers. I didn’t drive this combo very long, it was just a test to make sure I was 100% clear. After I knew I was safe, I ordered .197 inch wheel spacers and picked up some wheel studs that w...

This mini-project took about 15 mins to complete, but the outcome was wonderful for my mind. I bought the “Chevrolet” emblem that belongs in the front grill. It drove me crazy that I could see where it was supposed to mount and there was nothing there. I like the way the chrome looks with the black ...

I think it’s cool that if you raced Chuppa in a handicap race, he’d leave first.

The guy who assembled the El Camino decided to run the windshield squirter hoses to nowhere. Literally, he had them attached to the little pump on the washer motor and ran them to nowhere. Over the winter, I ordered the squirters that were missing and put them in the “to be installed” box on my work...

This post is a little behind the times. This work was done prior to the tornado that knocked Tiresmoke central down for a bit: The horn wasn’t working on the El Camino since the day I got it. I went after it last weekend. In the chance that the horn relay was bad, I ordered one online for $20. After...

WXO,

I’d cut the new rod to length and sleeve it with some type of
tube and a bunch of JB WELD. The ends will be new and you can
use the old sensor.

It's interesting that a couple of the people said they can manually set the ride height
still with a broken link. Also, if those people can use paint sticks and coat hangers, you
ought to be able to figure out a solution if your new one doesn't work.

With all of the epoxies out there, I think you could try to fix it. I’d try to
make some type of splint if possible and glue it to the arm for strength.

There has to be a way!

I think I found a number that supersedes yours here.^^

I’m wondering if you can retro-fit another one, like a “universal” part.

72240 …. Routine oil change done. Nothing special to report.
