    Carnage! Don't worry, I'll fix it

    So, I replaced the valve cover gaskets and chain tensioners. Apparently, I didn't get something torqued properly on the camshaft. I'll test tomorrow to see if there's valve damage. Anyone know a good source for a replacement passenger side exhaust camshaft? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Tires and Lugnuts

    While playing with my window regulator this weekend I decided to go ahead and rotate my tires. My rear tires are stupid bald. I'm going to have to replace them soon and I know my wife is gonna be pissed. The fronts are in such good shape I think I can get away with just getting two tires. I...

    Rear Window Regulator how-to

    I had the pleasure of replacing the first of two rear window regulators this past weekend. The front regulator thread was such a help before that I decided to detail the process on the rear. I obtained a used rear regulator from a local parts place. They have a few picked over LSs there but...

    F My Life

    So, if I seem grumpy let me explain: A few weeks back I got a speeding ticket going just over the speed limit on a toll road. Pisser, but I paid the ticket and got over it. A few days ago I find out my wife is pregnant. For those keeping score that will be number 5. I could easily fill a...

    RTFM speed sensitive volume

    It is amazing what you can learn if you read the manual. I've wondered for a while about speed sensitive volume on my 2000 LS. I've been through the menu a number of times to see if there was a way to turn it on. I was getting sick of having to turn up the volume as my foot became heavier...

    Bluetooth warning

    Just a quick FYI for all of you with bluetooth devices in your cars. A local municipality near me has a system at each traffic light along a popular road that picks up your bluetooth signals as you travel. They use the information to track traffic patterns.

    Wipers

    Anyone else notice that when using the intermittent wipers, the short line on the wiper control is for the longest delay and the long line is for the shortest delay? Between that and the SST I wonder if Yoda helped with the engineering on these things. Yes, another solid geek reference.
