    Turning gauge cluster plastics back to white

    Not sure why you are chosing to nit-pick the definition of "modify", because my version of that definition is definitely more precise than the one you are using. Effectively bleaching the surface is a treatment to de-age the finish. The definition of modify as it would pertain to a dash panel...

    replacing t56 with tr6060

    No you dont. The distance from crank flange to HRB flange on a TR6060 and T56 is the same when using the same bellhousings. As long as you are using the correct combination of flywheel/clutch/HRB, they are all compatible with either configuration *EXCEPT* when using a multi-disc arrangement...

    Turning gauge cluster plastics back to white

    Dont get me wrong, it looks worlds better. However the problem is that the gauge faces dont yellow... and being right next to them means its always noticeable even if its barely off color. Add that to the complexity and risk to plastics of the job, and its one of those things you only want to...

    Turning gauge cluster plastics back to white

    IMO, the problem is that these panels are NOT painted, and just bare white plastic. The plastics are yellowing due to UV and atmospheric conditions. It will happen again. Easiest solution is to mask the black, and scuff/shoot them in white or another color of choice. Looks great... never repeats.

    AC Compressor replacement issues

    Coil is polarity sensitive, as they have an internal freewheeling [flyback] diode. If it helps, I believe I have a BRAND NEW OEM Gen-2 compressor up in NY, and I will be there in a couple weeks.

    1997 GTS was running then stopped. Something electrical.

    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... shame on me. Should have ignored this guy the second time. *blocked*.

    P0175 Fuel System 2/1 Rich

    Passenger side, upstream sensor. P0175 indicates that even when the PCM is removing the maximum amount of adaptive allowed fueling, the system is still reading Rich. Exhaust gasket issues/leaks and o2 sensor heater issues are common with aftermarket headers, as are misfires. However, all of...

    does the fan module on 03 to 06 go bad and can they be rebuilt

    Come down here to FL in July! You will live at 215 anywhere but the highway. Its a well known fact that G4 & 5 cars have a harder time staying cool this far south than G3 cars... and god help you in a G1/2 car over summer here during the day. Simple matter of flow numbers dont lie.

    does the fan module on 03 to 06 go bad and can they be rebuilt

    If you want to have cooling issues, absolutely lol

    does the fan module on 03 to 06 go bad and can they be rebuilt

    Close, but no. Control and valving differs. Internal parts theoretically could be swapped, but these units are very difficult to R&R as the internal clearances are insanely tight. They want to jam so easily its a joke... they are assembled with fixtures in manufacturing. All that said, its...

    WTB Viper gen 1 PCM

    I can build you out anything you want. If you want reliability long term, it needs to be a fresh manufacture or you are just going to end up with the same problems again. They are failing on a near-constant basis these days, as they are all 30 years old or more.

    DRBIII

    Unfortunately none of those are really viable options for 99.999% of situations, certainly not compared to the cost of a DRB3. If you made them work reliably, thats a good deal on your end.

    DRBIII

    BCM diag? ABS? CHM? RKE? TPMS aside, what other tool is even half decent for any of that? Most tools dont even properly support J1850VPW let alone actually support the modules. Genuinely curious, because I run into situations all the time where a scanner is needed somewhere else, and if there...

    DRBIII

    Actually... thats a very bad move. You still need a DRB3 for every other module in the car, not to mention still needing a JTEC controller for all bus communication... so literally nothing changes except SOME engine diag when installing a Haltech. That said... I am half tempted to buy another...

    If it wasnt for the sad fact I have heard nearly the same thing from "customers"... I would laugh. But alas, I can only cry instead!
