Re: Free manuals

Yea the year lag is pretty consistent across services. Usually don't see wide distribution until it's about 5 years old. Mainly because independent shops do not see new cars till the warranties run out so no one is clamoring for them.

Re: Upgrading Sound System in 11-13 Cars

It doesn’t give you a NAV board but an option to upgrade. I ordered three silver box’s with nav boards and am going to load US maps to see if it works before people mass order. I think what you might find is even the updated map is about 10 years old and only covers the eastern United States. Even ...

Re: 2014 heater core

The removal of the glove box in the 11-13's opened up the side of the AC case pretty well. Not the same in the 14+ . THe SS guys were having a problems with leaking heater cores and having to replace a bunch. They of course left it up to the dealers to complete the warranty repair so no data on easy...

Re: 14+ V8 alternator

The clutches, or Overriding Alternator Pulley or OAP are very advantageous to have as opposed to a straight pulley. The amount of vibration and fluctuations they prevent is very good for the long term wear of all the pulley systems.

Re: Steering Column Wont Slide On

You have the clamping bolt removed yes?

That bolt has to come out, slide on then bolt back into the slot at the steering shaft has a grooved slot for the bolt.

Re: Antenna, no AM, weak FM.

Believe there is a plug adapter over below the kick panel fuse block. Maybe take off the kick panel cover and you can see it. Maybe broken.

Re: 2015 (ME) Caprice shifter

Would need the Shifter handle, shifter mechanism in the dash and the cable that went down to the transmission. Think there also might be a bracket on the transmission to mount the cable to. Would need the dash bezel trim also. You do not have a start button there already do you?? Would also have to ...
