brand new GM Goodwrench engine fails New Jersey emissions by [email protected]
Bought a brand new 350 from the local dealer for only $1744 for my 220K miles '94 Suburban. The old one had barely flunked the ASTM 5015 elevated rpm "roller" test for CO (10% high) and HC (5% high). It was "using" oil; I never found a leak but had to add 2-3 quarts every 7500 miles, and the...

Beretta toe problem solved by ray
Amazing what happens when Canadian Tire calibrates their equipment. The rear toe magically went from -3/8" to +1/8" on the left. Everything is now back in spec. Coincidentially, the numbers are virtually the same as the December alignment in the rear. And in the front... here's yesterday's...
