Got Roxy’s back yesterday, drove home about 25 minutes, parked in front of garage to let her cool down, before putting her in the garage to clean her up and about an hour later went and started her up. Once again sound like it was running on 1...

    Help! Alternator Removal and Replacement

    Before you go and do all that! I thought mine had a bad tensioner, so we bought one and replaced it, only to find the belt was out of line. I had it at the dealership, and while it was there, I ask them to check it out. They realigned everything and it took care of it. Never came back! Sent...

    Got rid of my Mag Ride Shocks!

    Fireduck is correct, that’s what they told me also, at the dealership when I had the wrong size thread on the bolts and they tried to order just bolts from GM. They would of had to order the whole leaf spring assembly at like $400 and some dollars each for front and back! I believe from...

    Got rid of my Mag Ride Shocks!

    Hi Sammy Use the the same Lowering bolts they have threads to adjust to the height. When they did my bolts and shocks they did a 4 Wheel Alignment and adjusted them to factory specifications. If you plan to do them yourself, you can measure the thread distance and adjust them to that same...

    Welcome to the forum and our XLR World, I’ve had my seat repair at a local upholstery shop. The guy is top notch, he only did the outer side of back and seat panel replacement only on driver seat. After cleaning the seats and retreated with rejuvenation cream, it matches perfectly! Sent from...

    Help! Engine shut off while driving

    Thx Ian The first time it happened, it was less time to restart probably with in 5 minutes! I love this car, but at 104$ an hour, to keep trying to diagnose this problem just can’t happen, I’d rather it would break and not restart, I can’t afford this game of who knows plus it’s a very dangerous...
