Junk tires to begin with and they look like they have been ran low on air a few times.
Yea it had a slow leak on my way back from St. Louis so I'm sure it wore it down

Not completely. He has cleaned out the dirty fluid in the converter. Now he just needs to get a filter change.Quote:

It sucks out allll of the fluid and so much debris if got to watch it all come out so I mean ill do a filter change the next time. Which won't be till 100k and I hope to be done with the car by then
Alrighty... I just think that dropping the pan and changing the filter is so easy, why cut corners? But I can't throw stones at you about your car so to each his own...

i hope it works out for you. but the machine does nothing to pull debris from the filter. when you put clean fluid in it cleans more and brings more dirt into the filter, guess what dirty filter equals a eventual disaster. then your assed out of a transmission all for 12bucks of filter. you can drop then pan put in the fi'ter a re-use youre fluid if you want. the thing is do you really want to skimp out on your daily driver?d o it right manQuote:

that only happens for retards the let the pan hang by one bolt and end up bending the flange just enough to cause leak. ive done at least 3-4 pan drops on my gxp and 3 on my gtp. never a leak or problem.Quote:

Got the caprice started. Did a burnout down the road got ready to back it up into it's spot at my friend's apartment and it loaded up and died again. What the **** is wrong with this thing?
The burnout took all she had in her lol

I experienced my first major hydroplane today. Had my music up and it was raining... distracted driving. Went through a pond in the road and it started pulling me head first into a dodge caravan... then the buick was like eff that and turned on traction control to straighten her out
That sounds more like a story a mechanic tells someone who doesn't know any better so they go the more expensive route on certain repairs/services. I've never had an issue with doing pan drops on any car I have ever done them on.Quote:

Just once you get down to 3 bolts keep your hand pressed on it until you have them all out and you'll be fine. I saw that as a possibility on my own when I did mine, and put it in the write-up I made for the shift kit.
Took 2 hours but got the girls shoveld out..lovin chicaago snow..ughhttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/18/uhabaqu9.jpg
