Well, after 24 years of faithful service, the Lesabre's Compressor went all sparky on me and there are now metal shards surrounding the compressor clutch. In my search for replacement parts, I have a Delphi Technologies Compressor, a GM Drier/Evaporator, and am trying to purchase the 'CORRECT'...

Well, after finally getting a car that has a nice, loud, and usable volume of sound, don't you know that it turned on yesterday all by itself. I've checked the following: 1. Underhood Relay and Fuse all good 2. Inside fuse in passenger fusebox all good 3. Horns definitely work (as my ringing...

I went to purchase a few new oil filters that I like to use which are the Carquest premium oil filters made as a private label by Mann and Hummel. I thought I had remembered them having been made in USA and so I went and purchased them again and neglected to check to see if any changes have been...

Increasingly, the term resiliency is being researched and discussed in order to protect infrastructure from the increasing intensity of storm activityAnd extreme weather events.. This story is interesting because it’s from a community approximately 12 miles from Fort Myers Florida. While it is...

I decided to purchase used alloy wheels for my upcoming new tire change. I’m changing up from the fifteens that the LeSabre originally came with up to 16 inch wheel which was an option package for the same car. There are so many more choices in tires and brands in the 16 inch size than there are...

So, the uniroyal tiger paw all season touring tires that I put on the LeSabre in the fall of 2017 are now showing cracking between the tread lugs. The Cooper discoverer winter tires on the Honda have just finished their fifth winter and have no cracking whatsoever (not that I can see from the...

When I’m under the hood, I sometimes hear but I think it’s a whistle coming from the alternator but perhaps it could be coming from another pulley? Alternator charges just finding otherwise he’s OK, but I’m wondering if at this mileage and age, with the bearing be making squeaky sounds at this...

I normally shop for deals online but in spite of my not needing to be on mailing lists, I get paper marketing flyers like it or not and today, I saw this on the flyer from Napa. I’m going to assume the reason for this mistake of transposing the pricing is that the person who was doing the...

I recently stopped by Carquest pier Inn Ontario to pick up a couple of oil filters for my 2015 Honda CRV. I always open boxes to inspect and make sure I’m getting what the box says and it’s not damaged etc. While inspecting, I found it curious that these have the round holes in the base plate...

Two years ago, I had the AC system on the LeSabre recharged and it ran beautifully for two years, but this spring it has started to run warm again and no air conditioning cooling is happening now. They checked every part of the system when they charged it two years ago including opening up the...

ordered (and got confirmation) 3 coils for the Buick on 12/15. As of today, they still do not show as shipped. Sold by Amazon directly and in stock. Should I chalk this up to holiday shipping/covid issues or something else? Order has not been canceled by me or Amazon and Amazon mentions in my...

I normally run premium Costco 91 octane alcohol free fuel for the LeSabre. Although the 3.8 was engineered to run on 10% ethanol and you can run it on 87 octane, I like the added fuel mileage and theoretical higher detergent levels of the premium fuel. I basically run this all year long and then...
