an 08 malibu? Yea the dealer can reprogram them or if someone with an enhanced scanner can do it. iirc the GM tech2 can do it as well. if someone has one of those CKO tech 2's it would be worth a try and not have to pay big $$ only for the dealer to tell you something else needs to be...

If your gonna drive like you stole it at 85+ on the freeway, you might look into a gearvendors overdrive unit to install. that will give you a highway cruising gear while in 2x4. that will help with the MPG's and lower the engine RPM's when going that fast! my 93 has one with a 4l80e...

I've ordered replacement FOB remotes off the jungle site before that were for 02-04 GM vehicles, tried to program them for my friend's burb but they just would not work! after my wife brought the trailblazer home I notice the remote for it was kinda flaky on the lock/unlock buttons so I dug...

I was just gonna say to take the old case with the thingy in it and hold it near where you insert the key and see if she fires up. if so and your not concerned about the RFID chip. you can trim it out and then hide it inside the column under the plastic shroud. with that in place you can...

I would still pull the inner door panel and have a look see at the inner skin of the door. see what your previous damage is. sometimes it's just a whisky dent and rather than pull it, bondo it... worst case is it was pealed open like a tin can. tack welded and bondo. it will tell you if...

I would suggest looking for a good donor parts truck, but there is a big problem with that for me!! I brought one home not needing another truck but was given the opportunity. within about a month I had the donor running and driving. fell in love with it and to this day still drive it LOL...

So the 86-87 square body won't work? for the turn signal that has built in wiper function, you should be able to just swap out with your existing switch in the column. If I understood your last post correctly, your style column uses a clamp on lower mount on the engine side of the firewall...

I did a quick search on the Bay of Fleas (eBay) and found a few in the range of 250-350 pre-owned. also found one new aftermarket for $200. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=86+chevy+c+10+steering+column&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p4624852.m570.l1311

I think AK is right. the door is sprung from an accident. could have been replaced at one point. back then no two body panels or doors were the same. so if you tried to do a door or body panel replacement especially from a used donor, likely they would never perfectly line up. you can get...

Welcome @LinePilot it would be cheap insurance to replace, but at least check them. when you pull the driveshaft off the rear yolk you can remove two of the caps. if it looks dry at all, it's time to replace them. Oh and I see your from the great state of Texas! nice to see a fellow...

the additive is mainly to restore lost compression and oil consumption through the rings in the case of blowby. if your engine is running good, no blow by I would just leave it with the oil and no additives.

Hadn't thought about it till now, but an exhaust shop can take an elbow in stainless or steel and expand it to fit the filter. maybe even put a ridge in it for the filter box too.

finding a d-max, cummins , powerstroke in the jy is as rare as hens teeth around these parts!

depends on what you want to spend, but going a little hillbilly with some fiberglass work, bondo and a rattle can of 2k color matched paint will last a few years. post some pics so we know what were working with. if there is a pick a part yard locally you can use a battery powered sheet metal...

the cooler the air the more condensed it is plus higher humidity helps too. you were getting enriched air. on the fuel gauge, it's possible it's got a bad spot where once the level reaches the failed area on the float level sensor the gauge drops out.
