    Front passenger side window bounce

    I have been reading up on this bounce situation and what I have found is that there is a reinitialize procedure. I found a page somewhere online, but have lost the link, suggesting that power is to be removed from the motor as the window is lowering if the initialization procedure is not...

    Ive owned my 03 LS since March and i've noticed when running climate control I hear this whooshing sound every minute or so. Its a gradual increase in sound until it lets out this whooosh and then it goes away. Then you start to hear it build up again after a minute. It is rather annoying...

    Fog light options

    I see a lot of guys going with HID conversions and LED conversions for their fog lights but is there an option for a regular bulb? I was looking on Rockauto.com hoping to see something like Nighthawk or Wagner that offers a whiter light but I am not finding anything. If I cant find a normal...

    Painted grill

    Didn't care for the chrome on my 03 LS this week. The chrome had cracks on it and thought it looked dated. So I pealed off the chrome, sanded, primed, dupli color color match G2 Redfire, and cleared it. Also used black trim paint for middle. The black turned out darker than thought. Overall I...

    Exhaust smells like rotten eggs

    Haven't had the 03 v8 very long. I've noticed if windows are down and run it hard from stop to 60 or so, I get an awful rotten egg smell. Do you think this is more to do with plugs and coils or catalytic converter?

    What do you think of this LS V8?

    I am thinking about purchasing an LS v8. Ideally, I would want a 2003 or newer. This doesnt mean I wouldnt consider a 2002 and older if the price was right. I was wondering what you guys think of this car. It appears to need a timing chain but I am thinking maybe a chain tensioner. I would...
