  1. wht are your experiences with front vs rear tire pressure. i have found , on my 89 tht 35 front and 30 rear gives me the best ride. and actually , previously when i was 32 all around i would sometimes get a rear hop. this new 35 vs 30 is great . i know our reattas are top heavy. this works. let me know wht u guys think?
  2. do u think its a good idea to make that type of mod on an old engine. i am no expert here. it seems to be a push, unless everything else has been rebuilt. btw i love my 89 and it has plenty of power with 180k
  3. excellent , i had a 1964 Hillman Minx. talk about a weird , bad car. lol
  4. this is a coincidence , all the things u are experience have just happened to me. help!!!!!!!
  5. maybe u should see if u are getting spark or getting gas
  6. car looks good , good luck , i have an 89 , black w/ burgundy
  7. thanks , but no light switches were turned on fog or otherwise
  8. yesterday somewhere around 4 or 5 pm my parking lights went on by themselves. i couldnt shut them, so i had to disconnect the neg batt cable and it must have reset itself. how could this happen??? should i get a priest and have her exorcised?

    Rear Brake Help

    the spring is for the e brake. u need a rear brake caliper compression tool. ask for it in the auto store. its a square multi head tool that fits into the correct caliper to compress it . it goes counter clockwise. u can get it for 3/8 drive or wht ever your ratchett set is. good luck

    gasoline

    hi guys, heres one i havent seen on here yet. wht type gas are u guys and /or gals using?? i know our reattas recommend regular. personally i always only use regular. does anyone use premium?? and wht brands do u all prefer?? i use any major gas personally, what ever is on sale. tc
  13. U MAY NEED THE DIGITAL DASH ITSELF. I HAD THAT PROBLEM AND GOT ONE FROM JIM FINN. HE MAY BE ABLE TO HELP U.
  14. PADGETT HAS BEEN ON DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION ALL ALONG!!!!!
  15. the one thing most of us agree on is the powertrain in our reattas . the 3800 has to be one of the best engines gm ever made. its amazing how smooth and strong mine still is with 179k on her. all on regular gas. which , by the way , u almost need an home improvement loan to fill up these days.
  16. hi guys, i have an 89 and am thinking of a satellite radio install. anyone have any experience with this?? let me know , thanks, tc
  17. thanks f 14 i will try that . i love the car. the most amazing thing about it is how strong it is. the engine is especially strong.
  18. i have a problem many have faced , with my 89. the touchscreen comes and goes. is there a chance i could fix this by disconnecting , cleaning connection and reconnecting? thanks guys. she runs great otherwise.
  19. I BELIEVE U MEAN STRUTS. MY 89 HAS STRUTS FRONT AND REAR. AS TO YOUR QUESTION I DONT KNOW .
  20. guys , is it possible linkage could be stuck?
  21. i am sure quaker state is great , hasnt gotten maybe as much publicity as late as it used to.
  22. personally i think all synthetic critics should be wiped out. lol
  23. i have been using synthetics since mobil 1 came out around 1977 or so. i have found no problems at all with synthetics, in fact, like someone said here, all measureable tests indicate the superior qualities of synthetics. i do agree that clean quality oil is important. i think its also important to warm an engine before driving . i will continue using synthetics, i do believe they run cleaner and are slipperier. its important to keep our engines as clean as possible as they get older.
  24. hi guys, i was wondering... does anyone here use marvel mystery oil. i do and have for many yrs. let me know thanks
