Thread: Test BillBoost

That's right guys.. doing up the Test Your Knowledge thread got me thinking. Let's have you guys stump me.

Take a picture of a part/bolt from the car and post it. As me torque specs (drivetrain, not interior parts) and oddball stuff.

ex: What size bolts hold down the front seats in a W body?
Or: Name this part


Day in and out you guys ask questions and many of us answer without consulting books or looking stuff up. See if you can stuff us.. Well..those of us that choose to take the challenge. Boost is in.

what is this?

Little tough to tell how many pins. It's in the right location to be the connector in a 97/98 era for the ABS extension wiring connector out to the wheel hub. But there are one or two other connections right there too.

its for some temp gauge for an option which i dont have. thats what i read at least

Ok, the ambient temp sensor that would usually be screwed up in front of the radiator. Must be folded back onto itself to be in that location. About the same size and two pin. Good one.

Only explanation I could think of was maybe a carryover from an older alternator, since it's right there. Also that connector was gone in my 04 Impala. I'm betting it was done in a pinch by GM. Why change the whole harness is the reasoning.

Bill, I win because I already stumped you with my torque thread

yes it just dangles there.

There's no winning really. I'm still learning stuff, as I will until I die. Keep them coming.

bill, youre crazy, i love it

name these parts/pieces

should be easy for ya

I see the map light and other assorted console lids and doors, panel under the steering column. And you making the biggest mistake of your life by painting them.

why you say that?

Because...it's my opinion.

oh ok then

Take my opinions with a couple of beers and you'll do fine.

will do..thanks for the advice

i want people to prove me wrong and teach me something. bill your my internet hero

Care to guess?

From this angle, and it's not that parts best side...lemme tell you. And no sizing reference.....

It kinda looks like a burnt out exhasust crossover donut. It's too perfectly round in shape to have been a beat to hell exhaust rubber o-ring. Looks to big to be any other o-rings.
