I should mention that the engine doesn't crank at all.. Key does nothing. Could it be the PCM? Seeing some rust water leakage around where it comes through the firewall

Everything checked out. Now it's time to find an instrument cluster and get it programmed. Last step in the pinpoint test. Fingers crossed it works.. or I'm chasing wires!

I think if it was a PATS issue the engine wouldn't crank at all

Hi Joe, thanks for your reply! I'm at this part of the pinpoint test: I10 CHECK THE PATS TRANSMIT CIRCUIT 8-GL36 (WH/RD) FOR CORRECT OPERATION Connect: PATS Transceiver C252. Trigger the instrument cluster active command RF_ SIGNAL to ON while measuring the voltage by back probing...

So I've been looking at tires for my 06 LS V8. It's lowered with Eibach springs, and has new stock shock absorbers and stock 17" chrome wheels. I'm wondering what the best tire would be for the car, considering it's lowered and has a slightly stiffer ride. The guys at the tire store said I...
