CARQUEST by Dayco Poly Rib Belt Part No 5060915 Warranty 3 YR REPLACEMENT IF DEFECTIVE

Disregard the orifice tube, thats for another job. Water pump, cap, and belt is up to you. If it has 100k on the water pump, I'd just replace it. Belt, any cracks/dry rot or wear replace it. Cap is if the current one is dirty or not holding pressure. Tuneup, lasts 100k. Fuel filter should be every 30k. And valve cover gasket, replace if the current ones leak at all. They always leak at least a little by 100k. Everything else is mandatory really. I chose to buy a new upper intake which came with the gasket, since the oem one is known to fail around the EGR port.

Alright, and don't miss your number lol
Just looked at my post on Tapatalk. Boy it sure looks a lot better on a desktop computer lol

Interesting responses you have gotten.

Navy shows you what the mechanic would order automatically. Me, I've been around these too long to throw parts where they aren't needed w/o fixing the overall issues. Allow me to walk you through the what and why

Here's what can happen to your upper manifold and the why
http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...hlight=failure

The real fix to this issue is not to put a new manifold on, but to actually remove the coolant from the equation/area. Here's a thread that shows how I block off the coolant ports and open up the turn around area to increase flow for the reduction caused when blocking the ports.

And a thermostat if you'd like. If you're flushing, it has to come off: http://www.amazon.com/Stant-45849-Su...keywords=45849
And a Gasket to go with that: http://www.amazon.com/Fel-Pro-35666-...keywords=35666

Just push the left turn knob in.

For digital HVAC anyway.

What?

I said the HVAC unit itself has a off button on the left turn knob, this is for the digital hvac only.







Also, I never unplug the battery when doing these repairs anyway but thats because I'm a a rebel and don't care.

I tried that while changing the starter, didnt work

A starter is alot different than a intake job LOL.

you may not have a cap any more. on the rad side of the rail theres a valve inside looks like a large tire air valve, push the pin in it will spray fuel out, cover the valve with a rag watch your eyes.
