| Hi all, Just came across this site while looking at a thread on another. Looks like a great site for wagons. I have a '94 RMW that is in decent condition, but needs a water pump right now. It's the dark green [DGGM?] and no wood grain. I bought it to be a daily driver a few years ago and would like to do some changes to it in the future. Loren | |

| Krzdimond, Thanks for the welcome. I came across the site mentioned while I was on the Impalla SS site. I'm more interested in wagons obviously then Impallas, since I have a '94 Roadmaster wagon. I've found a lot of good info and help there in the past. This site looks like a real interesting place for more wagon specific info. As for location, I live in Nebraska, south of Lincoln. I will have to get some profile info loaded. Again,thanks Loren | |

| Thanks Jim, I'm sure I'll have a few questions. Already asked one and received an answer. Right now I am waiting for a part in order to get it back on the road.
Bill, thanks for the welcome. I like the hood on your wagon. Hope to do some mods to my wagon in the future.
Regards, Loren | |

| LA65GS, You'll find that the Impala SS forum has a wealth of technical information, particularly engine, transmission, cooling and front suspension, window repair threads and stickies. Physically we start to differ from from the dash board back, especially in the rear suspension., and we have a third seat!
And of course Impalas don't get.... er.. ah.. don't have woodies.
We are also small enough to be more social in nature. Stick around you'll have fun. | |

| lakeffect, The Impalla site is where I found out that this site exists. I agree with you that it has a lot of great info,especially for trouble shooting. I found that site a bit over 3 years ago. Latter, Loren | |

English please? I think the "DGGM" means Dark Green Grey Metallic, but the "WB4", you've got me stumped. Thanks for the welcome Cadet57 Loren | |

| Welcome aboard! Sounds like a beautiful wagon. DGGM is Dark Grey Green Metallic.... on Chevy's. Buick had to be different and called theirs Jadestone Metallic but it's the same color. | |

| Mike and Tim thanks for the welcome. I was aware that the color was the same shade between Chevy and Buick. I picked up a pair of front fenders from a Caprice that are the same with the exception that the caprice fender has no striping on it . I like the lack of strip.The Buick has a double gold pin strip . My RMW apparently had a light front ender some where in its past. There are signs of poor repair at the upper back area. I also came across a '94 Caprice wagon that had a posi and a few other good parts left. So I salvaged them. I will have to find someone to change the code in the pcm to make the speedometer read correct. Haven't installed it yet because of that. First things first, must get it running again. Dang water pump!
Thanks again, Loren

| When you do the Water Pump, be sure your opti is up to spec. When one is done it might be time for the other. www.PCMFORLESS.com has done my computers several times. I trust Bryan and Alex seems to be a good egg as well. If you come to WagonFest either Joel or Mike (Scoob8000) might be talked into some PCM tweeks as well. They both are pretty sharp. Have them tweek your tranny a little to. Joel can make it shift EXACTLY how you want it to, thanks Joel!! Tim | |

| yeah^^^^^ quit typing and get working on that wagon, lol.
I spent about 30 minutes on mine tonight, then went to a local cruise in around the corner to meet another forum member.
Cheers. Oh yeah, we are picture sluts so we NEED to see pics of your wagon. | |
