Did you try locating a Trailblazer SS in a junkyard? This part has to be on one somewhere.

• Replacement steering rack ordered and installed. This unit was tie rod end to tie rod end so I just installed it as is. The toe in was good, though wheel was not straight. I later learned that if the steering wheel is off by more than 10 degrees while driving straight, it turns off the electronic ...

There is a certain flow rate where the water will move too quickly through the radiator to effectively cool it. Now I don't know all the dynamics of this my guess is the difference between 160 and 180 should not be that significant. You could probably run a gutted thermostat housing and this effect ...

XSLR Season 8 race 6 in the books Street Stocks at Spa for 18 laps Qualified P8 of 11 - Messed up qualifying with minor off tracks. I did not get a valid qualifying time so I started toward the back.

Gwinnett County is the same place where Rachel's Charger came from.

Changing of the guard as the Cadillac now lives in the attached garage.

Car is sold. Probably waited too long to get started. Ran into people who could not get financing due to rebuilt title, people who wanted to know if I offered financing, people from PA who were afraid it wouldn’t get through enhanced inspection. Eventually got down to $6k and even then I couldn’t ge...
