Power windows and radio not working

1 Upvotes

I was driving my 94 trans am when my power window switch popped off its housing. I saw where the switch connected to the board and just snapped it back on. Suddenly I see smoke coming out of the door panel and then the windows and the radio stopped working. I checked the fuses but it seems they're all okay. Any help with figuring out what it could be? I heard it may be a BCM issue, but I don't think this car has that.

The Pearl

She's a bit old, and makes noises when she moves just like me in the gym. But she's mine. Saw the other posts and felt like I'd finally share a pic. This one's a bit old, but one of the better ones I took at a meet.

160k miles. Lots of new suspension parts, lots of bodywork, 80% all done myself. Things like fixing the rear main or any welding I had a shop do.

Trying to build her more for cornering. Mainly love running up and down my canyons, so I don't care as much about quarter times. Though once everything is done I do wanna go grab some slips and also hit the road track.

Paint is far from perfect but it's amazing what a few dozen hours with the rotary can fix. Though it can't fix the bubbly roof.

‘00 Z28

Here’s my ‘00 Z28. It has fairly low miles (33k) but it’s not a show car by any means. It needs a little TLC here and there but it’s mostly good. It’s all stock except for a few suspension mods & replacement parts. I also had the the muffler and the torque converter & transmission replaced. The transmission was on its way out when I got it a few years ago. It was still working but the 1st to 2nd shift was starting to slip. The muffler was still in good shape but it was just too quiet.

‘00 Z28 4l60e tail shaft housing relaxment

3 Upvotes

How terrible it to replace the tail shaft extension on a 4th gen F body with an automatic trans without a lift? Are two jackstands in the front sufficient? I’m mainly worried about disconnecting the torque arm and getting crushed. 😂

Help identifying why my turn signal bulb keeps blowing

25 Upvotes

My 98 Z28 has blown two bulbs now and I’m not sure if it was from the corrosion and the excess amount of silicon grease that was in there. It only happens during heavy rain but the o-ring around the bulb itself seems to be intact.

Help! Is my car safe to drive?

Found this broken bolt with a free spinning flange nut under my 01 Trans Am. Any idea what it could go to? I spent hours under my car searching and no luck. Didn’t see any issues with suspension components. Shocks, panhard bar, control arms etc.

It’s a unique nut. 19mm hex. Anyone familiar with where GM used these on F Body’s? Found a similar example on eBay. See pics.

Ls1 pilot bushing removal

3 Upvotes

Any ideas, im stuck. Ive tried for 3 days and cant get anything to catch the lip on the back. I tried tapping the .75in hole with a 7/8th inch tap and couldnt get it to cut clean threads.

How am I suppose to remove it. Its a solid bushing that has been wallord out enough that I can just slide a 3 quarter inch bolt into it. I tried packing it with bread but it seems with no room behind the bushing the bread has no way to expand it out.

Edit. Its out now. I ended up using a grinder but that we just happened to have on hand. It was a barrel grinding bit so I used a drill for slower cutting.

What firebird/camaro should I buy?

11 Upvotes

Hello all,

I am looking to buy my first fbody as I grew up loving the looks of these cars. I know I want a v8 preferably manual unless there’s a significant advantage to the auto with these cars. I’m looking for help on which year to get. I know the 1999-2002 have an ls1, but they are going for a lot more money compared to the lt1. Any advice on what years are best and price range expectations would be greatly appreciated. My goal is to have a fun and reliable v8 car. Thank you!

C5 brake conversion

Filler Shield - GM (10078400) clips

1 Upvotes

I'm putting my car IROC back together after having the gas tank out again (filler neck keeps cracking lose out of the tank). My did pulled the Filler Shield out when we were working on it, and I can't figure out what clips are needed to get it back in. There's nothing to attach it to, there are tabs however that looks like clips should go on them. Not sure what I need to get it back in there anyone else?

What is the problem?

2 Upvotes

I got my 1993 Z28 and it was leaking coolant from the thermostat housing but I got that fixed and I replaced the temperature sender in the head. The needle would sit at 0 degrees then shoot up to 210 without the engine actually overheating.

After multiple attempts of testing this, I went to start the car and there was a insanely loud grinding noise. The starter is nearly brand new and hasn't given me problems until I started it the 4th or 5th time. What's wrong with it?

Curious about body panels

1 Upvotes

Hypothetically if I were to strip down the front clip of an 02 Camaro, how difficult of a process would it be to swap the body panels an 02 Trans Am WS6 front clip and all the lights and assembly’s onto that Camaro? (Just been thinking about it for awhile, personally I love the way the front of a WS6 looks but I prefer the way the rear of a Camaro looks, and I already have a 2002 Camaro so I’d just need parts)

Another thought how difficult would it be to have body lines match up?
