Thread: Delilah....dyno rackar

Nice work kind of make me glad I don't have a sunroof.

your gxp doesnt have a sun roof

Dude just go buy a new sunroof assembly. Your's looks jacked.

How does it look jacked

All that caulking everywhere to seal it up. I got mine from the junkyard for $150 bolted it up and have had no problems with it

interesting. i really dont know how its leaking. i went over board with the caulking but is there a seal around in there somewhere? i know theres a 07 gp with sunroof at the local pick n pull that hasnt hardly been touched except for the supercharger and LIM

Go get it and swap it out. Grab the drain hoses too

sounds good! i dont got the funds for it now so the caulking will have to work for awhile

Somedays I wish I had a sunroof. Then I see that crap.

.......i dont want one anymore. their nice...until they leak. then their a pain

I want one. But I'm also much better a caulking then that LoL

well i can do better to...just didnt care cause it cant be seen when put back together

Nah no sunroof here I have one of the rare gxp's. They shouldn't charge you more than 100 for that sunroof. Oh and BTW if you go see if you can swipe that 5 button dic for me I will Gladly pay you for your time.

Yea I'll swipe it....its still there or was last month

Alright so here's whats going on with the damned car.
1) new tranny cooler going in soon
2) needs new harmonic balancer
3)drivers side ballast is bad....replace for free
4) oil change in 33 miles

Are you sure it was the drains that were clogged? I had the same problem during heavy rain. It turned out that the end of the drain hoses, that run along the pillars were sitting flat/flush up against the sealing foam in the wheel wells, not allowing enough water to pass, making water back up into the sunroof where they start. Soultion was to simply cut the end of the drainage hoses at a 45* angle to allow for easy water flow. Havent had the problem since. I believe there was a TSB about it a couple years ago.

Yea I checked the drainage hoses. I did lots of research on that problem

•	The crankshaft balancer installation and bolt tightening involves a four stage tightening process. The first pass ensures that the balancer is installed completely onto the crankshaft. The second, third, and forth passes tighten the new bolt to the proper torque.

Important: The balancer should be positioned onto the end of the crankshaft as straight as possible prior to tool installation.

1. Position the crankshaft balancer (138) onto the end of the crankshaft.



2. Using the J 41665 , install the crankshaft balancer.

2.1.	Assemble the threaded rod, nut, washer and installer. Insert the smaller end of the installer into the front of the balancer.

2.2.	Use a wrench and hold the hex end of the threaded rod.

2.3.	Use a second wrench and rotate the installation tool nut clockwise until the balancer is started onto the crankshaft.

2.4.	Remove the tool and reverse the installation tool. Position the larger end of the installer against the front of the balancer.

2.5.	Use a wrench and hold the hex end of the threaded rod.

2.6.	Use a second wrench and rotate the installation tool nut clockwise until the balancer is installed onto the crankshaft.

2.7.	Remove the balancer installation tool.
