My '01 Impala base just got the front stabilizer bar bushings replaced as it
made noise when going over bumps. The new parts cheap, but 1.5hr  labor.
Don't know what's coming next with this GM crap.
The car only has 45K miles on it. To my knowledge, the bushing shouldn't go

Shep/Ian or anyone else who has don this,
I'm making a 5 hour trip to my parents for a visit and to replace the blower
motor resistor pack in their 2002 Intrigue. The procedure/location/part is
no problem, I just don't want to lug all my tools. Just want to know if

   I bought a service manual (had to be ordered)
for a 1994 Chev. Lumina 4 door sedan from a local
auto parts store.  I was VERY DISAPPOINTED
because the manual,  "Haynes Repair Manual"

(this is long, but I got a lot to get off my chest, and it's pro-GM at
the end!!)
My family, back a couple of generations, has always owned GM cars.  
Grandparents on one side owned Caddys... the others bought Pontiac.  My

We own a 2005 Pontiac Vibe and are disappointed with the center console
armrest.  I am looking to replace it with the armrest/lid (aka - "door")
from one of the earlier models that is taller.  I have looked online and the
prices for a new unit range from $190.00 - $210.00 but ...

The wife had noticed a squealing in the brakes and I took it in to have it
checked out. Was told it needed a front brake job. This is after about
20,000 miles. They told me on the Pontiac the life is about 15-20 thousand
miles. Is this about right? Seems to me brake life is ...

I have a 2002 Tahoe, 5.3L Vortec Flex-fuel with 75K miles.  A couple of
nights ago my wife stopped at the end of the driveway (everything was fine)
to get the mail and paper.  By the time she got back in, the Check Coolant
message was on the message center, and the temp gauge was ...

When the engine is started there is a hard ticking sound emitted from under
the dash that sounds like a vent door moving.  Before I dive into the

I have a tiny pinprick hole in my metal tubular power steering hose.  Is
there a simple way to plug this hole?  Is there a special glue or sealant I
can use?  To replace the hose looks like a very difficult task.  I want an
easy and cheap way to fix it.

1)  Is the 3.5 used in Impala, G6, vans, etc. derived from the 2.8/3.1/3.4?
If not, is it an all-new design or is it from somewhere other than North
America?
2)  Is the new 3.9 a bored and/or stroked 3.8, an enlarged 3.5, or what?

OK, removed the intermediate steering shaft on my 2001 Bonneville and put in
the lube kit to stop the stick/slip clunking noise.  1 year later, the same
noise is back only worse.
My question is;  has there been anything done to remedy this problem except

Just browsing the internet and came across this article. Found it because
someone was going on about how the only reason they're MIL came on is
because he hit 10,000mi and wanted to know how to reset it without going to
the dealership. So anyway, talks about a couple of myths, ...

I know it must be in the user manual, but I am at the office ATM
and thought that some good soul on this NG would know and could
let me know.
Thanks!
