The Deville is a little less responsive but works and having had it checked several times am satisfied to use as is. Both cars are fun to drive, no question that the Deville is my number one but the Sable considering price, options and performance is a strong second car. Having more than one vehicle yourself you can understand the fun of driving something different just for the fun of it!
My engine still will start. I just needed to change back to parking shift before I restarted it.
"A27..........Have you checked for any codes???? "
---How do I check codes?
-- if no codes then how do I change position sensor(s)?
Please advise.
:-))))
Now you seem to be complaining about "efficiency", whatever that means regarding cruise control, and responsiveness. When the "cruise" light appears on the dashboard has nothing to do with when the cruise is set. My cruise control is engaged or set when the set button is pushed, but the computer may get around to setting the light after a few moments.
The question(s) I have is: is your cruise still "setting" at a lower speed than you engage it at? (OR) #2: is the lower speed something that you notice after some period of time has elapsed after engaging the cruise control?
I will have to say that the ergonomics of where the buttons are located make it very easy to accidently push the buttons by mistake, but this is a design problem and replacing buttons won't fix the driver who is unable to use them.
The 2006 still kept the old 2000 body. Nothing wrong with it but I wondered if Cadillac had any plans to do a completely new DTS.
They are working on a zeta platform, which will be the platform for the Camaro and GTO. There will also be some RWD sedans based on that platform. Rumor has it that there will be a Chevy, probably replacing the current Impala. Buick will probably get a RWD sedan, which will replace the Lucerne I think, or the LaCrosse. However, the LaCrosse is probably going to be replaced with an epsilon-2 (next generation epsilon) platform, so the RWD Buick will probably replace the Lucerne.
So, if the Lucerne drops the FWD DTS platform, then what will Cadillac do? My guess is that they could build a longer wheelbase sigma platform DTS. That car would be a longer, bigger STS, with a bigger price tag. I think putting the DTS on a platform shared with Chevy is not a good plan. The current FWD DTS/Lucerne will probably see production at least through the 2008 model year.
One specific detail...I have a tough time getting comfortable in many vehicles. I'm 6'5" tall. I usually prefer good quality split-bench type seats even to high end bucket seats. (I like to have space to stretch my long legs off to the side on occasion.)
I'd also consider opinions regarding other options within this price range.
Thanks.
Lincoln Town Car, probably could find a 2005 for under $30k. Also consider the Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marque which you could get for for under $30k and perhaps new. The Crown Victoria and Grand Marque are the best large sedan values on the market IMO. Best wishes and let us know what you decide.
05 DeVilles (ex-rentals) with around 25 k miles are
being advertised at $23,999 at several dealers!!!!!!!!!!!
A sweet Caddy for the price of a used v-6 cam/cord
appliance mobile............
I note that CTS used prices are running strong at
$23k and up for 04 models................
Heck, another local mega dealer has 05 Impalas (ex-rentals)
at $10,995
I need an input for my "charging" sensor. Didn't know if it should go to one of the three "post" wires that ran down to the assembly by the front wheel or where it should go. Just on the B+ terminal maybe??? hmmmm, don't know.
thanks for the help though.
Pounding on it will only result in major engine damage.
Its made for crusing and NOT racing !!!!!!!!!!
The rocker arms are riding double on a cheap u shaped
stamped "steel" band that holds them together. The
cheap steel snaps and you end up with a few bent push
rods and possible bent valves.
Unlike other GM v-8s where each seperate rocker arm is
held by itself to a stud and nut in the head which can
take high RPM abuse !
Now if that Cad had a Buick 307 or a Chevy/Olds 350-402
you could mod away..............
When I had my Fleetwood 75 with the 425 my young cousins
took it out and pounded on it and snapped that rocker arm
tray with major valvetrain damage I warned them about
it too.........knuckleheads !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have NO problems pounding on my 03 Deville with the N-star. But a older caddy with a 425/368 your asking for
trouble.
Good luck and keep us posted !..................
a 425 anymore pure and simple. Possibly a big aftermarket
carb, a breakerless ignition conversion kit and maybe
a fancy open element air cleaner are about the only
"performance" mods you could do to the motor itself.
Check out Jegs, eldebrock, holley, hurst, crane cams etc. on line and you will see what I mean.
Now if you owned a machine shop and reworked the
valve train arrangment plus other internal mods.....
But then your spending MAJOR bucks.
A small or big block high performance GM crate motor
is a great option for performace applications.
Spending 4 to 5 thousand is not out of the question.
coil springs or installing a spring compressor (poor
choice) is the only way to drop the front.
As far as the rear depending on if you have coil or
leaf springs. If coil again cutting the spring or
using a spring compressor are your only options.
if you have leafs you could remove a leaf or 2 (thru
the trial or error method. There are even ways to
"reverse" the spring order to lower the rear.
Have you done any Google searches on lowering a car?
Theres prob. a lot of sites out there..........
Even check out http://www.cadillacforums.com
they have a complete Caddy mod thread over there and
some folks that could point you in the right direction.
Good Luck and keep us posted !.................geo
But couldn't you get an inch or so with low profile tires?
What rim and tires that would fit and give a lower profile - I can't help you.
he do a search on lowering a vehicle.
Most of us here are "old timers" interested a in nice smooth cruiser with 300 horses at the push of a pedal.
Not to mention how many sets of clubs will fit in the
trunk and other ol' duffers will fit inside on the way
to the clubhouse to shoot a few links............LOL!
But thats cool !!!!!!!!
I have seen a few lowrider Caddies on some of those
car shows and some look REAL good !
But i can imagine some BIG $$$$ is spent making them
look that way................... :shades:
I only mentioned the tires because on a car I owned, it came with 70 Series tires, and when they wore out, I couldn't find that size easily. So I put 75 Series, plus I think I moved up a size.
It was an 84 Toronado. With this tire change, it significantly changed the 'stance' of the car. It almost looked like it was on tippie-toes. I never thought what I thought was a small tire change would change the appearance that much.
a Caddy I still have my 72 GTO I got in 1974 and used
to race it C/Sa. Yup now that I'm older I like the
stock running vehicle. It took me FOREVER to find
the stock intake, q-jet, exaust manifolds to return
my Goat to its stock glory !
I recently purchased 84 Z-28 to play with.........
I love to take them out and POUND them at will !!!!!
That Northstar powered monster still "walks" them both
with the a/c and the Bose cranking !!!!!!!!!!
My 17 yo. wants a set of "jordans" and spinnaz for his
Cavilier. I told him his $pendy insurance is coming
due and college is not far off. He had better pick up
a extra shift at McDs............LOL!!!!!!!!!! :P
I bought a 72 Corvette instead.
By 1972 they were smogged down and slow, but still a Corvette. It was nice. Kept for about 7 years and sold it for more than I bought it new.
I had a 350 automatic. It was slow.

I haven't checked out Carspace yet - I might do that after I post this ........
My other H body rear seat pushed to the rear an inch and then lifts up. I put my knee against the seat bottom, shove, and lift.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
I found what might be the right ones - this is what the advert. says:
1968 to 1978 Cadillac Eldorado Left (drivers') Exhaust Manifold. It fits 425 , 472 ,and 500 ci engines (ex. 70-76 500's).The condition is good with all "ears" in good shape and exit flange in good shape too. The surface has light rust but it will clean up nicely. Casting no. 1485749
Is that what I need? What would be a high end FAIR price for this?
