Great excuse to stick a big gently caress-off whip antenna back on, too.

ExtremeODD posted:I get a disturbing clunk on my '00 p71 when turning the wheel side to side, sometimes while turning and hitting a bump. No clue what causing it, but this car is full of mystery like the disappearing of about 3-4qt of oil with no smoke from exhaust and not a drip on the ground. Have you checked your coolant?  E: I suppose it would usually go the other way, wouldn't it. Still, peace of mind and all that.

leica posted:Yep. You can trust rockauto, I've been ordering from them for years and have never been sent a wrong part. As long as you put in the correct year/make/model you'll get the right parts. I bought rear brake cylinders for my truck and left/right were switched. I don't know if that means that a PO put them on the wrong side before (and bent the hardlines to match) or rockauto had them backwards or Raybestos had them backwards.

StormDrain posted:Wouldn't you just buy both anyway - then match them up? I can't say I've ever really checked the part numbers when I have a replacement part, I just check that they are the same. I did, but to make my job "easier" I looked at the website to find out which was which, and sharpied a big "L" and "R" on the boxes so I'd have them sitting on the ground on the correct side of the truck. That said, they do seem to get just about everything right, it's just pretty annoying when they just don't have a section for the thing I'm looking for, so I have to get it someplace else.

Cage posted:Never mind I got it popped off, was hoping something came unplugged but all seems fine. Should I just be replacing the actuator at this point? Unplug the harness plug at the actuator, put a test light or DMM on it, and see if it's getting power when you tell it to unlock the door. If it is, it's probably the actuator, yeah. If it isn't, you gotta figure out why.

Cage posted:Hello again thread. Me and my dad we successful in changing out his blend door, and fixing his door locks. Have another problem that we never addressed though. Today he locked himself out of the car so I started looking into figuring out the electronic keypad door locks. Google says that there should be a white tag in the trunk with 5 digits, and there is but we've tried that before and it doesn't work. One thing I noticed today though is that the print date on the tag is 1/19/10, while his car is a 2009 model year. That doesn't make sense, right? Have you tried to brute force it? I guess this is assuming that nothing bad happens (timeout, alarm, etc) on a bad code entry (or several).

Flashing check engine light means "whoa, gently caress, stop doing that, I'm dying here" and you should definitely not keep driving it like that. Generally, it means a misfire is occurring. This could be because the sensor is throwing the fuel trim off enough for it to miss pretty badly. You should definitely get that fixed before you drive it at high speed like that. If the sensor is reading lean, that means it's throwing the mixture richer than it should, so you're dumping a bunch of fuel into your exhaust that otherwise wouldn't be there, which is not good for your cat on that side. So if you keep that up, you might need to replace that too. I'm not sure how much cats are for these cars, but they're usually somewhere in the ballpark of a couple grand, so it's not to be taken lightly. If it was reading rich, I'd say it's causing the fuel trim to go lean until it detonates and pulls the poo poo out of timing, which could lead to long term mechanical issues (if it doesn't catch it in time), but yours is reading the other way I guess?

Darchangel posted:Powerglide. Had a '68 El Camino with one, and a 327. I should have kept that car, but young and stupid. An El Camino might be light enough to be fun with that combo, but my Impala had that drivetrain combo originally and I'm glad it's a 350/350 now. That extra stroke and extra gear really help it un-rear end.

Luxrage posted:I went to a gas station today that had really finicky pumps, the pumps wouldn't stay running, and the one I had that actually worked ended up overflowing a bit onto the side. It deep cleaned the vinyl on the side of the wagon to the point where I found out that there are tons of cracks down the side of the paneling. It's barely noticeable but it really burns me up. Sounds like the belt to me, but it could be something rubbing (check all pulleys especially the tensioner and any idlers) or a bad bearing like you say.

lampey posted:I'm having trouble getting a window regulator from the scrapyard. Can't force the window down so I can reach the rivets attaching the window glass. All the other rivets came out easy enough. Is there a trick to getting the window down without power? Got an M12 power tool and some beefy alligator clip wires?

Darchangel posted:I think that could easily be just worn bushings, so replacing the arms is on the right track, though, since I have a press, garage, etc, I’d probably just replace the bushings in the existing arms. It should be a lot cheaper, though obviously more time and labor consuming. one benefit to doing this is that you'll notice if anything is bent when you have it all apart might as well do the balljoints too?

you had UV dye in there before, right? so you should be able to find the leak, and double check the shop's diagnosis i would probably be tempted to poke a schrader valve momentarily to see if it's pressurized, but yeah if you let any refrigerant out to the atmosphere that's illegal. so uh try not to do that
