I'm ordering the parts for my oil cooler repair. What other seals are needed? I was hoping that a $104 seal kit included everything except the RTV. There are...
Hey Ed, Have you ever had the oil cooler looked at? That seems more likely than head gaskets (and cheaper too) for these cars. Independent mechanics often...
The oil line washers are aluminum washers that must be replaced, but only cost like $.50 each. From what I was told, the only way to purchase the coolant...
yes its the same of all cats ... From: "jlandis2003" <bajlandis@...> To: <CateraOwners@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2005 1:31 PM Subject:...
Your list is correct in the parts that are needed. the 2 oil cooler orings should come with the oil cooler, cover and nuts. the 4 coolant crossover pipe...
The Cat is a '98. She's been out of service for a while now. First valve covers, then it spun a bearing so I put a new motor in. Drove it for a couple days...
A Los Angeles area Cadillac dealer is offering a three stage flush for $139.95 with their coupon that expires 3/31/05. A pre-cleaner is added, then the car is...
But it's not, though. That's the point. KBB has it at $3725, almost $300 less than what that dealer was trying to con him out of. I'm going by the private...
I've heard flushing the transmission fluid actually loosens up too much debris and can cause more problems than it solves. But I'm approaching the 100K mark...
it wont matter if you flush verse drain the transmission when you are talking about loosening up debris/causing problems. The new fluid has the detergents in...
All the pulley seals were brown. The donor motor from another '98 has 45k (according to the junk yard) and I had a dealer run the VIN. All recalls were done....
I don't think it's hard to meet the specs. Autozone sells Coastal Dextron 3 which has a GM spec on the back. I didn't see the spec on any other brand so ...
It all started with me preparing for a long roadtrip. I did a regular oil change and also a cooling system flush since I haven't done this since about 2 years...
A lot of indy shops use Dexron-III bulk fluid, which is the recommended fluid. Check? Good luck. I flush at 50k. ... for ... exchanges "up ... have ... GM's...
I have a friend who manages a transmission shop. Awhile ago I asked him about doing a flush on my '98. He strongly recommended against it. He said when the...
When the fluid is replaced, make sure it is Dexron IIIG, not just any old Dexron III. Texaco/Havoline Transmatic 7045E is ideal. Also, make sure the...
These days most shops use a machine that they hook up to the tranny cooler lines. They put the specified amount of tanny fluid in the machine and then start...
"He recommends dropping the pan and changing fluid only when the fluid starts to show signs of burning, (turning brown)." I used to think this too but...
Hi Dorin, I had this same type of leak in my 97 a few months ago, however, I didn't get the cooling system flush. It's just wear and tear. The plastic part is...
Ok... here's a good one. My 2000 Catera Sport has the HID headlights and I have always admired their beauty and perfect aim. I think it's my favorite feature...
Does "repl water pump and any or all pulleys" equate to the timing belt, tensioner and pulleys. The 97 had timing belt tensioner and pulley problems,...
Generally, you don't get warranty replaced parts back because you're not paying for them. A lot of times, GM requires dealers to send them the parts in order...
Yeah, i heard of that piece...how do you know if they are broken? Also, isn't there some kind of "device" that is affixed to the lens to see if it LEVEL? I ...
These lamps are renowned for internal breakage when the high-beam bulbs are replaced, as the replacements need to be pushed in hard against a clip, and usually...
The answer is that the reflector detaches from the housing/lens and bounces around inside. There is no way to aim or adjust the reflector once it breaks free. ...
What do you mean by the "dipping" motor and self adjusting? You have me curious now. I know that when i hit bumps in the road, i can see my HID "bounce" a ...
Thanks for the info. Krusty... Do you know if they've redesigned the new lights at all or are still putting out the low quality ones? Amazing how cheaply made...
