1995 LT1 Caprice, non tow pack. 73K.

Have owned for 18 months and put 3K on it, with the first 1K in the first week. Anyway,

LT1 Cooling system issue. No visible leaks except around overflow tank. Looks like it is pushing past cap.

Drove it about 180 miles yesterday and 5 miles from destination it overheated but first 170 was straight hwy. Let it cool and it took about 2/3 gallon. Drove …

This pic shows the front passenger side frame. The upper control arm is visible at the far left.

Along the frame, two brake-lines run from the left side of the pic (one of mine terminates in a cut hose) and toward the right, they disappear under the battery tray.

What on earth are these things?

We swapped out the broken antenna for a working one. Not a horrible job but not a lot of fun either! A little tricky getting the extended antenna out with out damaging it further. It's a bit of a blind operation working around the inner fender... Defiantly a two person job. Had a little struggle getting the inner fender back in place. Not sure if I tweaked it pulling on it to make room or if it …

There are two. They have a rubber top, metal bolt, and some kind of weird captive nut that look to fit into a square hole.

What are these called, part numbers? Where can get new ones? I tried spraying with PB Blaster, but they dont budge, Likely will can break them.

Can these be pried out and then maybe new nuts used? If I could get them out a torch could bust the rust.

I bought the one in my avatar pic in late Feb 2019, after my t56 swapped car got destroyed by a stupid girl.
It had 70,xxx on it, but low xxx. Fast forward to right now and basically I have put 3000 miles on it in 18 months.

900 of those were the first week I owned it. 300 home and over 600 the following weekend, where on the way home, I lost the AC compressor. I completely rebuilt the …

So, the friend I sold my '94 RMW wagon to (when I bought my 96) has a problem. The car was stolen with the key in it (don't ask...) and she had lost her spare (I mean, Jeez, Jennifer). Our local whiz mechanic managed to get a new key cut via the VIN but the security system is proving harder to defeat. He has managed to get a work-around for the starter, but the fuel enable will not switch …

I have a LS swapped '84 Caprice that had an incident with a phone pole. When I tried installing a new nose I discovered the frames bent behind the engine x-member. Neighborhood body shop suggests getting another frame. There's no 1977-90 frames available at bone yards within 400 miles of me and a few 1994-96 close by. Other than the gen II LT1 motor mounts are the later frames different? Will …

Wife and I went to the local LKQ to look for stuff for the wagon and her pickup. They had two '96 Chevy sedans, no wagons, a guy was pulling the fuel lines from one of the sedans and said there was also a Roadmaster sedan but we didn't see it...
We needed another wiper board, grabbed both. The replacement one I got a while back failed, turn wipers on and they would only turn off by turning the …
