    Starter question

    I jacked up car to start chasing down oil leak. At first, I thought it was a rear main seal leak. But then, on the passenger side only, the drivers side is completely dry, I found oil on the starter and all the way up on the back of the passenger side head. You can see the oil on the head here...

    5R55S Servo colors

    I’m looking into getting my transmission rebuilt and doing some research into available parts. I see that the servos are listed under different colors. Blue, orange, and pink. I know they mean different sizes, but it’s not clear if it’s the whole servo or the stem. I tried finding what each...

    Flat spot eliminators

    Anybody ever use these? Last week the weather was good and I was able to take the car for a ride. The tires had some serious flat spots from sitting a couple of weeks. The weather forecast is snow and cold for the foreseeable future, so I thought I’d give these a try. I had to buy two snap...

    O2 Sensor Problems

    Just when I thought I had everything done, the car started to intermittently not start. It would turn over normally, but not fire. If I let it sit for a couple of minutes, it would then start. Yesterday, I got a CEL and two codes P0060 & P2272. The first is a faulty Bank 2, Sensor 2 error code...

    Knock sensor question

    Is there a right and left side knock sensor? Would it make a difference if they are switched?

    That Depends on Your POV

    Saw this in traffic. I could tell he had aftermarket wheels, suspension, exhaust.

    What are these?

    Just out of curiosity. There are two. One on each side mounted in front of the engine by the valve covers.

    Interesting CAI Observation

    I finally got my 05 back together after engine rebuild. As you can see, I have a insulated cover over the CAI because it does not seal against the fiberglass Cervinis hood. When I took it out for a test drive on a 90° day, I noticed that the coolant, intercooler, oil, and IAT were all...

    Rear main seal repair sleeve on stock 05 motor

    Anybody ever seen/heard of a rear main seal repair sleeve being installed at the factory? My 05 had one on the crank when it was disassembled. I got the car with .9 miles on it in 05. It never had an oil leak.

    Detonation, or something else?

    Anybody ever see marks like this in the cylinder? They are in all 8 cylinders with this one being the worst. They are also in the same location in the cylinders, with them being what would be the outside of the cylinder when sitting in the car. They are more like discoloration than scores or...

    Connector Location

    Anybody know the location of connector C234 (14 pin) and C431 (8 pin)? I'm tracing down a problem with my fuel gauge and found reference to these in an old thread. Photo no longer available. Seaches come up empty.

    Fuel pump wiring at hat.

    I was repairing the wiring to the fuel pump hat. There are four wires. Two for the fuel level sensor,( Blue and Green) and two ( Red and Black ) to power the pump. All wires were inside a convoluted tube. The blue and green wires were loose and separate. The red and black wires were twisted...

    DOB Edelbrock Intercooler mod update

    I posted earlier that DOB was offering a mod to the Edelbrock E-Force supercharger intercooler. I e-mailed them and asked for details on the removal of the intercooler and was told "It's real easy. Just remove the bolts and pull." This past weekend I started working on the car and attempted...

    Intermittent fuel starvation.

    Three times this summer I had fuel starvation problems after going a year on E85 trouble free. Twice at the drag strip, one on a road course. All three while going straight and at about 100 mph. At first I suspected low fuel levels as the tracks are some distance from where I can get E85. I...

    05,06 Fuel pump differences

    Anybody know the difference between the 05 fuel pump hat assembly and the 06-09? Places like Rockauto say the orientation is different but will still work. I’d like to know how different.

    DOB Edelbrock intercooler mod

    Anybody else get the email from DOB? They are offering a mod to the Edelbrock E-Force intercooler on the 05-10 models. They say the IC pulls right out of the front. You send it to them and they mod it for better coolant flow and send it back for $570 or lower for a group buy. I am considering...

    Track Day Ruined

    Went to track day at Blackhawk Farms raceway. This was my second time there and only third total. I was still in the novice class, but I feel ready to move to intermediate. First session went great for about 8 laps of the 2 mile course. Then, when I went to pass on the straightaway, the car...

    Car will start, but shuts off immediately. Fail safe mode

    Finished doing the PCV removal and catch can mods. Went to start and car started immediately, but then dies. Went into failsafe. Got codes P2104, P2106, P2111, & P2135. The first two are basically that the ECM is in failsafe. P2111 is Throttle Actuator stuck open. Its not. P2135 is that the...

    PCV Ideas

    I’m still getting a small amount of oil in the bottom of the Edelbrock supercharger despite having catch cans on both sides of my 05 with the stock PCV still in place. It’s not enough to feel or see on a rag if you wipe the intake right behind the TB, but using a bore scope, I can see a small...

    MT ET Street sizes

    05 GT with Edelbrock E-Force @ 8-9# of boost and E85 Lito tune, 3.73 gears, automatic transmission with a TCI 2800 stall converter. Currently, I have 295/45-18 Nitto 555G2 on the back, and 255/45-18 on the front. They are ok at road course track days, but they are useless at the drag strip. I...

    Level10 Rebuild Recommendations

    The auto transmission in my 05 is not working. I’ll be talking to a couple of shops tomorrow. If transmission needs to come apart, I want to upgrade since the car is now at 500RWHP and 450 torque. I’ve searched and see a lot of good (older) reviews for Level10 rebuild kit. If anyone went with...

    Rear end or transmission problem. Need help

    I recently did multiple jobs on my 05. I adjusted the bands on the transmission, being very careful to follow directions exactly as written. I also installed Wilwood brakes on the rear which required pulling the rear axles. Now, the car will not move when in reverse. In the video, I show that...

    8.8 rear end assembly question.

    Putting rear end together after replacing rear axle seals. Did not notice this difference when I removed the center locking pin. One side has small notches, the other side larger notches. Does it make a difference which way the notches go? It goes in both ways.

    Crankshaft position sensor

    My crankshaft position sensor is leaking oil and needs to be replaced. Looks pretty simple. Release belt and pull A/C compressor. Is a relearn procedure required if the sensor is replaced?
