Hey US-Car fans!I would like to ask you a few questions about my 99`Tahoes: 1. Automatic 4×4 types I have to choose from: 2HI; 4HI; 4LO; Auto4WD and next to it is still neutral.What does the Neutral now mean????It has to have some function because it also has a light stripe (as for example 4HI when it’s on lights up a small strip below) 2. Tank indicator someone knows if the tank indicator lights up when the tank is all??? 3. Front lights are those on or off with you ??? with me the cables were cut for it (unfortunately) so that was it. Hope you can help me.

Hello Yes, I once again. Have seen this video today: Cummins Diesel Absolut Heftig. Cummins Diesel is of course a catch for me. But what is really special about a normal diesel? Or is there no difference and is it just a name of Dodge? Can you enlighten me?(the diesel is meant.) Thank you in advance S1 Pike’s Peak

How much horsepower and cm3 the US Car-Forum ICh knows if there is already such a topic but I have seen it in other forums already. I know actually meaningless but certainly funny (maybe we can get into the Guniessbook of records). Otherwise the moderator can close the Tread again however would be a pity. Well I start then masl So: 1. Number of vehicles 2. Model and PS-Number and cm3 (high 3 with Alt Gr and 3) Mfg Jul ———————————————————- – 1 vehicle – Ford Mustang Cabrion V8 –> 300 hp and 4600 cm3 – VW Jetta TDI DSG –> 100 hp (unfortunately only and net 105 hp) and 1896 cm3 – Ford Explorer V8 –> 204 hp (but I use almost net more) and 4000 cm3

Hello, have the following problem. After a short service life ( approx. 2 weeks ) my Corvette ( C4 ) did not want to start any more. After long orgling and the use of Startpilot the engine then started again, but did not run on all 8 pots. In the meantime I have installed 8 new spark plugs, new ignition cables and a new distribution cap. The 1st and 2nd cylinder is still missing. The respective spark plugs have a strong spark. They show however no discoloration. The other 6 have after short test runs assumed a deer brown discoloration, which of 1 and 2 are still white. Compression is fine. Stress is present at all injection nozzles. Are the injection nozzles from the 1st and 2nd cylinder defective ???

Cadillac has officially sold cars here in Germany since World War II. I’m just thinking about who decided to buy a new Cadillac here at the time? Unfortunately, I didn’t find a historical price list, so I have to speculate. Price 1973 Cadillac de Ville in USA about $7000 For import and customs you can certainly beat another 40% on it, so you end up at about $10,000 at the then price of 2,70 DM so about 27,000 DM. For the same G eld one would have got a Mercedes 280 SE, of course at that time ex factory without electric window lifters, without automatic, without climate and without leather seats.http://www.meinbenz.de/price lists/w116_price list0373.htm Advantage Cadillac: large 7.7 liters V8, exclusive, better equipped Advantage Mercedes: easier to park in cities, better suited for BAB. Does anyone know registration numbers from then? What were those for people who had the money and who had dared to have such a car i n Germany to buy new?

Hello together, I would like to start my new project soon. To be called: 73 Ford Capri with 351 V8. Actually I wanted to do it with a 460, but then decided for space, cost and weight reasons for a small block. Besides, I think that the car is then no longer mobile. I finally decided for a 351W. I would like to buy the engine a Edelbrock Top end kit. More (for the first time) not. Therefore a question to the Ford professionals here: Gives I’ve been on the road for a long time, but the statements are sometimes very different. Supposedly the 69-74s should be better, because you can install 4 Bolt main caps here. Since I want to buy a block with future potential, that would of course be the better choice. As I know myself, I am back on the Stroker trip or Turbo after a year Can I drive the series block with Top end kit at all, or is the crankshaft on the road at the first speed up? I am a car mechanic with 15 years of experience, have already overtaken some engines (usually 4 cylinders), but US V8ers are rather new. But don’t worry, I will get enough reading and get help with tricky things But first I need a clever base motor. Have a nice evening.

Moin people, I’m not really knowledgeable about postings in forums, but I’ve already had the search engine ratter and found nothing on my topic, if there is something to do, I ask for a look and a hint… the following problem is up, I have an 80s 301 Trans Am. There had to be fixed some problems on the engine for that I didn’t lift the engine including the gearbox (Thm 350) out of the TH 350 C. After completion of the Engine and overhaul of the gearbox (change seals, insert new filters and replace oil, the converter has also come new and was filled with oil until it runs out of the scar in the vertical state Dexron3 standard) the unit was assembled outside first converter on transmission, this on motor and then the converter adjusted. Then kickdown cable and vacuum hose again connected with vacuum system or gasifier rocker. After that the unit was lifted again and ve The motor runs well with 700/min in the stationary gas and there is also no leak in the vacuum system. The transmission oil was filled up until the marking of the marking rod and measured in the course was inserted during the neutral. So I took it from sources. However, the transmission does not build up any torque or transmits it any further from the motor…the further is funny , that the oil cooler pipes do not carry any oil where there should actually be enough oil inside. however, I would not weather on it that the marking rod original of a THM 350 is that happens with such old boxes already. Well, however I have described the problem here once in detail , someone has had similar problems with this series since it is one of the most built gearboxes and was also installed in Corvetten etc. . Or someone knows someone de I thank you in advance and I am eagerly looking forward to Franky

As the title already says, I would like to buy a Caprice station, year of construction is really not important to me main thing nen classic station. But now 17 have my rags already and drive also smoothly, unfortunately only in company. Now the question arises whether this above all in terms of extra costs is affordable. My bowet, probably approx. 8000 Euro. If then of course not any rust bowl, I rather graduated as a polishing fetishist. Now what do you say, would me to enjoy any answer and data or costs of you… Smile

Good evening I finally had my camaro hauled to me yesterday by towing service (which the ADAC kindly paid for for what I was very grateful for). Now it is at least in the dry and I can now begin to limit the error, find and fix. The first thing I did yesterday was to recharge the battery again because it was already a bit empty due to the long standing time in the workshop. This then lasted until today. Well in the time I leave the whole day here in the forum and elsewhere in the net. Printed me directions etc. Now I thought before I wanted to recharge the battery but you try to start it again. And look there he jumped on for exactly half a minute. I could even put in the 1speed and start it. Then he went out. My suspected is now really that it has something to do with the ignition system??? Because if e.g. the control chain would have skipped then he would not even start again or??? if the battery would have been broken then it would not have been addressed any more. Further questions are: Where is the fuel filter?? I just want to exchange it at the opportunity. Is only the ECM and the cooling water sensor responsible for the mixing or the injection quantity???

Good evening, I would like to have my air conditioner refilled soon, what I have to pay attention to. The Americans use the R10 gas, I absolutely have to take it, or can I also take the “German for us” conventional gas. If you know a workshop fills the amiklimasystem, you can suggest it to me. I am in Ludwigshafen Postcode 670.. I drive a Chevrolet Beretta 3,1 V6 GT I thank you in advance!!!
