Originally Posted by JLawrence08648 I had nasal polyps in addition to the deviated septum. Sleeping, I couldn't breathe through my nose and breathed through my mouth, drying out my mouth and throat. After the operation I had to sleep upright in the recliner for a week. At the first follow-up...

Some designs (very common in older GMs) use a ground connection in the 'start' position only, to do a bulb check (temperature idiot light and brake in particular) that might never be seen otherwise.

That's awesome! The accessory mounting still looks the same as used in the FWD cars in the 'States.

Originally Posted By: Virtus_Probi I was starting with a new dentist sometime in my late 20s and mentioned to him that I thought it was odd that no previous dentist had talked to me about having my wisdom teeth out and that they weren't bothering me yet. After my xray, he told me I was lucky...

Originally Posted By: beechcraftted I had a 3.8 (Grand Prix) that had a bad fuel pressure regulator. Easy to check, if you have fuel on the vacuum side it is bad. This vehicle would stall on long coasting conditions and long red lights. Always started right back up. +1

Originally Posted By: ChevyBadger Man, you need to get some speed parts on that I6. Otherwise it looks awesome. Cool car. I’ll give you $700 for it Lolol That is an integral intake engine (look at the position of the EGR valve), no speed parts available. Watch for coolant consumption from a...

Am I understanding this correctly that you have found, at least pairs, if not more, of the LEDs are in parallel with each other? Seems like a very flawed design (Kirchhoff's laws) if this is the case.

I appreciate that. My '84 Caprice was the last year of those awful, dual shaft radios. Mine was a radio delete car, I had a Mitsubishi component system (another oddity) in the car since I bought it new. The radio face is Buick only (2003 - 2006), though it is internally similar to other units of...

I loved aftermarket systems when I was young, and the OEM systems have come a loooonnnggg way. Too bad the aftermarket systems got so ugly (unless touch screens), especially for an older car. I wouldn't have gone to the trouble to transplant a GM Serial bus radio if I could have found something...

Dexron VI with pan drop and filter. No flush (ever).

I've had to change the caps in all our monitors at home, and even my work monitor (it was just easier and faster for me to do it). Some of them will give you some warning, as they will start to flicker when first turned on.

I don't recall opening any mainstream, OEM PC (2000 vintage and newer, not anything after about 2012) that doens't having failing caps on the motherboard and / or power supply. The performance will deteriorate before complete failure too, as you get more noise AC riding on the DC voltage. I...

I'd continue exactly what you are doing.

I've changed so many I have lost count. I think they (the defective ones, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague ) were in the supply chain long after the supply was supposed to have been fixed. I see Wikipedia is now saying through 2007. My favorites have been TEAPO and CAPXON. They...

Had mine done in '05. Absolutely amazing compared to the "good ol' days".
