04 Rainier 5.3 with 250k. Bought at 170K and had to replace the rear bags because they would leak down over night. Everything has been flawless for the last 80k miles until this weekend when i went to hook up a utility trailer to haul some furniture and it was really low, almost on the...

Ohh really I had read they were a digital circuit. Guess not. I changed the fluid a little over 2 years ago. If thats the case I will just buy a reman acdelco one on rockauto for $200. I doubt there is any type of warranty on the dorman one left. If it quacks like a duck it's a duck. I'll...

No I ended up just buying a magnusson lower with some cracks in it and fixing it. I built an adapter plate and bolted it on. Not a money maker project that I wanted but I got a blower for my car.

I havnt posted here in forever. But always good to update I guess. The whole turn it into a GS thing never happened. I have just drove it alot. Drive to Texas, out west, its got like 30K more than when I last posted 2 years ago. Ive towed a bit, changed the front rotors to V8 ones this time...

I have an 04 rainier 5.3 with 215k miles. I bought it at 175K 3 years ago and fixed a bunch of stuff wrong with it. The transfer case AWD shift motor was bad so I changed it with the Dorman one. I found our recently my AWD doesnt work. I got stuck going up a slightly snowy road, no front wheel...

Drag car. Its a long story. I bought the car for the interior for my 81 cutlass since it was a salon (442 minus the badging, 8.5" rear and 20HP). Car was mint, hit a deer, and taken apart for a restoration. I bought it but it was totally rust free but dissembled. Missing too much to put it...

Basically what I want to do with mine. It should be called a GS though. GS to me has always meant V8, GN has always meant turbo V6. Although the late 90's early 00's GS regals were V6 but supercharged. Only way IMO to have a GN is black turbo v6. Wheels are ugly Would have looked better with...

Only explanation I have is that the car put on real high miles in the first few years of its life and got changed early on. For as much rust as there was on the bearing compared to everything else and how clean the bolts are it had to have been dealer done or under warranty. Back in 05 maybe I...

Changed the passenger one out today. Took like half an hour. Got lucky and that was the bad one. Was no play but it was rough to turn. It honestly looks like it had never been changed. The bolts still had the blue thread lock on them and it was fresh looking. None of the bolts had evidence of...

I will check the drivers for noise, thats a really good point. Good to hear it happened before. I am so sure that its the passenger since it sounds like it but it just doesn't sound like anything is wrong when I spin the tire. I soaked the axle nut with some oil and loosened it up today, thats...

So I was driving 700 miles to my internship (away from most of my tools, bah!) and my front passenger wheelbearing went out on the way, probably. Background, 04 V8 AWD rainier, 185,000 miles. Has maybe 750 miles tops since it started making noise. It started out of nowhere decently loud at...

Its just a scratched up engine hauler! Ended up with a 72-74 porche 914 engine basically free. Finally sold it but I gotta haul it around this week. And I gave it a badly needed wash.

I am planning on designing and CNCing up a lower blower manifold for LS engines so you can take cobra blowers and fit them on LS's for under $1000. I traded a front G body suspension for a core 5.3 a month ago to jig it up. Turned out the 5.3 was real nice and just needed a cam and a lifter...
