918psi fuel pressure. Damn that must flow a lot

I am replacing my drivers side blend door actuator today. I did a strip wash, clay, 2x polish, 2x sealant, glaze, and wax over the weekend. Best looking 12yo DD GP in NE Ohio.

pet approved too i see lol

looks good.


that blend door is fun. ive had my huge hand back there a few times now.


if you took the battery out, then it acted up you can try resetting it by unplugging the battery again, or pulling the hvac may do it like it does in my regal.

Swapped a trans side cover in the car on the ground...in flippy flops. Only because the floor was dirty.

Hahaha flip-flops ftw

When you have LEDs installed, the voltage backfeeds into the turnsignal circuit causing the indicators to light up on the dash a little.

It only happens for me when the car is on and running. Key off, key on etc, no dim lights. More investigating required.

I can get the full schematics and we'll look at them, it'll just be awhile cuz I'm working crazy hours at work the next few days. I can get on the internet on my breaks but my Alldata is at home on the laptop.

FWIW theres a bulb or two in the Regal that does something like that. It'll be listed as an incandecsent ... but when LED'ing it.. you gotta have a different bulb.

Thanks Booba. I have all the schematics at home too, so going to look at them tonight. I also need to watch the cluster signals, as this morning, I swear they didn't start glowing until the e-brake came off (auto lights came on). It wasn't this way last night, but then this morning when I was taking video, the auto lights didn't come on twice back to back. That has never happened.

Seems that anytime you remove all incandescent bulbs from a circuit, glowing LED's is the result. I've always wondered why my dome lights don't stay on dim, then I saw that the ashtray light is the only non-led bulb. I ain't touching it. LOL


With that being said, a resistor of some value on each circuit "should" solve the problem.

Car decided to drive ok for 15 minutes and then start acting all squirrelly and stall. No CEL, no warning, no nothing. Replaced the MAF and it's driving fine but it took a week for the part to be shipped.

Well, I got home at 12:30 at night and saw that my MAF had arrived so I was out there taking apart the air intake in the middle of the night to replace it and then celebrated by doing a few pulls.

Watched the storm power wash it for me.

I watched the storm make all the cars driving in front of me disappear.

havnt posted in awhile..crazy storms went through minnesota this last sunday. 15 miles away, every single tree was blown down, hail, unconfirmed tornados.

Had my gp parked in front of garage, and my g6 was at work. Storm just missed me, or i would be a very unhappy person getting both my cars totaled out.

Side note, changed my oil in my g6, 3500 miles and mobil one came out black as black.

Got my spark plugs and wires for my gp today, got it set up to do them tomorrow morning.

Two hours later, got the spark plugs and wires on..Did front ones one by one, then the rear was a different story..

Took dogbones off, tilted engine forward to get enough room, oddly enough the one everyone has trouble with, o2 sensor in the way, came off the easiest for me, the one by the coolant tank did not want to come off for anything. A hour and good tugs got em off..Car ran like poop, hard idle, put it in drive and engine was shaking, bad smell, i would put it close to fireworks smell.

I reseated all the ends on the plugs to the coils, still ran bad. So i figured, only two that i didn't do one by one were # 2 and #6. My code reader said p0300 generic misfire, no help whatsoever. I knew it was missing. Swapped 2 and 6 wires around and it runs like a top. Fun times, are MSD wires good brand? I used those and ngk iridium plugs.

Hit 178k on the way home today.

It's only been about 2 months since I hit 177k. LOL

I always wondered why my map lights on my mirror glow while driving and when the car is parked
everything is LED

Reminds me of the newer cars with the interior accent lighting at night.

Trying to do shocks on my dad's 98 ram, but everything that can could wrong, has gone wrong. Bolt was seized in the nut. Got that, then bolt is seized in the bushing collar. Tried the top nut, that is stuck solid too.

Attempted plugs on the truck, took 1 wire off cut my arm and stopped for the day.

Installed a clip to hold the headlight in on my sisters monte because it didnt have one, found the issue of the cig lighter not working with a blown fuse. Tried to diagnose A/c not wokring swapped fuses and relays that had anything A/c on them no dice, comp doesn't kick on. Im guessing its got a leak someplace and is empty. Also diagnosed the pull to right being bad control arm bushings as it mostly only happens while on the gas but its random in that aspect. Also its going to need axles soon, it vibrates a little when the suspension compresses. Joy oh joy
