Re: My 2012 PPV on the freeway

Yep. I think the spot light does it the most. The fake antennas really don't do it. Most people fly up and then see the spot light and are like oh ffffff.

I've also seen a few fly by, see the push bar and just slowly back down. Almost like homer simpson disappearing into the bush lol.

My 2012 PPV on the freeway

I know i'm not the only one who gets this driving on the freeway. On the outer belt where I live (Columbus Ohio), no one cares because the Caprices weren't around here at all. Outside the city.. lol. game changer. Managed to grab this video a few weeks ago when I was on 71 N. :D :D :D :mrgreen: http...

Re: Brakes Squealing when cold

Ended up taking all the pads off the car. Ran them on the workbench on some 60 grit paper. Lubed the slides, back of the pads, etc. No more squeal. Pic below was one of the drivers rear. ooooof.

Ebay gonna ebay I guess.

Re: Brakes Squealing when cold

I did see a lot of reviews from their other products though. Yeah I get the part where "you get what you pay for". I guess I could try to find the old hardware and put that stuff back on because the fronts still have the old and it doesn't seem to squeal. I just wanted to make sure I wasn'...

Brakes Squealing when cold

This going to sound pretty stupid but i'm pretty stumped. I bought these drilled/slotted rotors off ebay last month (front and rear) : https://www.ebay.com/itm/393050652286?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 and now when I back the car out of the garage the damn brakes sq...

Re: New owner. Odd questions for trans

Update. Had the pan dropped. The fluid looked like black coffee with a hint of red. oooooooooffffff. Had my guy put on a camaro pan, new filter, 1 1/2 gallons of AC Delco Dex VI. Shifts perfectly now.

Re: New owner. Odd questions for trans

Car has to be level. Transmission warmed up. You remove the bottom bolt that looks like a drain plug. When the trans is hot the fluid will dribble out when full. If no dribble then on the passenger side there is a rubber plug you pry up and out. Pump fluid into trans there until it dribbles out the...

Re: New owner. Odd questions for trans

Thanks for the replies. Now. onto the dumb questions. Where's the trans fill at? Do I just fill it until it starts to come out the fill tube? Does it take Dex 6 I'm assuming? Garage space is kinda scarce when I have an 88 Fiero I've been working on doing a 3800 swap on. That and it's supposed to be ...

New owner. Odd questions for trans

So I picked up this 2012 PPV Caprice about a month ago. it's been great. Done a few things to get it going. Still need to do a few more. My main question is... When the car is cold and I start it, it's fine. Pull out of driveway, go down the street. (depending on how much throttle i give it.. not mu...
