    05 LS V8 not wanting to coast

    Not familiar with Forscan, appears to be an app, does it sync straight from an OBDII scanner? Sorry for the ignorance Edit: OBDLinks MX a good option? 2nd Edit: Just thought about this, I recently (as in less than 24 hours of posting this edit) had all my fluids flushed and refilled, since...

    05 LS V8 not wanting to coast

    Well, it has come to a complete stop on level ground once but It seems to vary in severity. I just had it out not 5 minutes ago and when I first started it up, no problem coasting, but after driving for a couple minutes, I noticed the "drag" is pretty severe. I'll have to see if it comes to a...

    05 LS V8 not wanting to coast

    It coasts fine in neutral, which makes me want to rule out the brakes dragging. Wheel cylinders I'm not too familiar with, I'd have to look into them further.

    05 LS V8 not wanting to coast

    My LS does not seem to want to coast at all. Almost as if the parking break is activated. Tested the actual parking break out and it does engage and disengage (you can feel it in the brake pedal) but the damn thing will literally come to a stop if your foot is not pressing down on the...

    Puff of smoke and a minor burning smell

    Good news is, today I didn't notice any issues. No burning smell, no smoke from the exhaust, no sputtering. I'm definitely gonna keep an eye out and keep digging. Isn't the transmission sealed? If there were a leak, I suppose that could mean replace the tranny itself.. Fun

    Puff of smoke and a minor burning smell

    Just got back from my brother's place where I was able to dig a little deeper. I took the passenger side valve cover off since it was easier to get to, and it was clean as a whistle. I will pop the driver's side cover off when I get more time. Was not able to see or smell fumes from the engine...

    Puff of smoke and a minor burning smell

    Recently traded in my '03 V6 with 220k miles for an '05 V8 with 40k miles! I am absolutely loving this new car! So clean, tight, and fast. Had it for three days (bought on 3/9/19) and this morning after arriving at work and turning off my car, I noticed a slight burning smell. Checked under the...
