  1. I know what you mean Tammy. My father was 40 and I was seventeen when it happened, not even out of high school yet. And I do appreciate my loved ones, both biped and quatriped. And one triped Maincoon cat named "Tripod", (of course) It's a long story. You are right, you just never know. Thank you for the thought. Life is not all about cars.
  2. Here are several windshield repair methods posted on U-toob. I have not tried any of these methods but, if one works, we can all benefit by it. Beats the crap out of buying a new windshield. WINDSHIELD REPAIR Good luck! Hope it works.
  3. Works fine for me. ISP is AT&T, running XP/Pro, SP3

    Reatta Died

    Here's a list of ACRONYMS related to the Reatta and most all of GM ECM's. And here is an explanation of how "FUEL MANAGEMENT" works inside the ECM .
  5. E-bay item 110367692699 I noticed the VIN number on E-bay and the VIN number on the SPI (service parts identification) label in the trunk are not the same. Both VIN's are in the database but, only one is a 'Select 60'. Probably just a typo. Nice car though!

    engine code 017

    Here ya' go: List of all GM 1991 3.8L VIN L engine codes... Doesn't say anything about the speedo or the transmission.
  7. Old Guy, welcome to the forum. Your question might be better answered on this forum: BUICK-PERFORMANCE/MODIFIED although, you might get a few answers from the people here also.
  8. Would this be it? CARS.COM I got it from the Chicago Tribune classified ads.
  9. Here is more than you ever wanted to know about Alternator Theory . And here is the VIDEO about alternator repair. It is a two part video each about ten minutes or so. This is not a Reatta alternator but it is 98% the same. The only things that he did not do was to check the rotor for internal grounding and he did not check the stator for grounds either. Of course, this alternator was fairly new too. So, maybe he felt he didn't have to.
  10. Home made pressure bleeder: http://www.bmw-m.net/TechProc/bleeder.htm A must have if you are a do it yourself-er.
  11. 4T60 INFO . For anybody considering this transmission.
  12. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: D-a-n-i-e-l</div><div class="ubbcode-body">3800 should go for a million, the trany may give up around 150k. All depending upon care and driving style </div></div> Wth a little TLC and proper maintenance you might get as much mileage as this Volvo P1800!!! Multi-Million Mile Volvo And it still looks good!
  13. The red brake light also comes on if the emergency brake is partially applied or the switch is out of adjustment. Check that out first before you assume a more urgent problem. OOPS! Sorry guys, I did not notice the other post with the same subject. Glad problem is solved.
  14. RE Permatex: if this is what you are looking for, Permatex Plastic Cleaner you can find it at most national hardware stores. Or, to find a place close to you, Click Here! I would still call first though.
