The Official Hot Rod Thread - Part 4: Burnouts for Distance

[churchmouse]

My '17 Sierra has electric PS but I haven't experienced the code so no help. I vaguely remember something about a recall on the PS somewhere but not having any luck finding it.

Edit: Found it!

https://www.consumerreports.org/car-recalls-defects/cadillac-chevrolet-gmc-suv-recall-power-steering-problem-a1811078052/#:~:text=General Motors is recalling 26,847,system to suddenly stop working.

Thanks FM

Quick Google search shows it looks to be a pretty common problem but not so much a common fix for it. Good old Government Motors


Doesn't look like it applies to the mouse's Acadia, a least not yet

Yeah it looks like a much dreaded visit to a stealership damnit.
My truck is in the shop for a rusted out fuel line and they are swamped with work. I should get it back next week.

Fingers crossed. I'm about a month behind at the shop right now.

Last year, my truck decided to have the same exact problem while my wife’s aunt was helping someone move to Missouri.

I figure to put a pump in it as well while the tank is down that would be the next issue it would have.
The trans went out of the daughters van last week so she has been driving my truck. The line failed while dropping the terrorists at school. We are down two vehicles.

Pretty much. We had to put a battery in the Acadia the 1st week. Original player so to be expected.

My buddy said that this yellow 03 Mustang GT had been sitting outside of a local stealership (he's up north) for a few months, so he finally decided to see why. Turns out they want $12k for it, with 118k miles. Here's what I said when I went to the website.

Yeah that’s pretty dumb. That was a $6,000 car a year ago.

 

[RustyHornet]

Prices are ridiculous right now. But they don’t have inventory… just hoping they can catch someone…

Yeah CM that thing is a no go.

Very problem child!

My daughter wanted one until she drove one back to back with a Durango. Dodge won hands down IHO.

Alright gents, need some assistance here. I'm trying to find some foam to rebuild my fresh air intake for the racecar. Pictured is a simple solution to seal the air intake to the underside of the hood which opens into a cowl induction hood scoop. I built this about 25 years ago and as such the foam has degraded quite a bit. Anybody have any familiarity with foam that can help me identify it so I can order fresh? It's open cell and compressible, 2 inch by 3 inch which isn't critical as I had to cut it down to that size when I built it originally. I've been looking at pictures all day and my eyes are crossing.

O.M.G.

Going through stuff to get organized and found this pic.
We won clAss Saturday and Sunday.

Brought home the latest hot rod. Couldn’t find a first gen s10 like I was looking for that was within a reasonable distance and condition… Worked a deal for this 02 tonight. Needs some work and love, but I’m excited to play with it. Will be the new daily beater/ fuel saver.

2.2l automatic.

Just needs a turbo or two with an exhaust out the hood.
