  1. You will need an adapter to get the sensor out of the exhaust stream to avoid a CEL. Good luck!
  2. I'm not disagreeing with you. Just stating the fact that no single engine did more to sully the good reputation of the diesel engine in North America than the Oldsmobile Diesel.
  3. Today's cat's are high flow enough not to restrict exhaust flow. Back in the early days of catalytic converters, yes it could free up the exhaust by doing that. Not beneficial on todays cars, plus you will throw a check engine light for cat efficiency. There are better ways to get the tone you want. Down here it is a federal offense to alter factory installed emissions equipment and you will fail inspections. Maybe different in Canada.
  4. General Motors killed almost any chance for a diesel passenger vehicle engine back in the 80's. They are slowly making a return.
  5. If all 4 tires are now new and the same size, perhaps disconnecting the battery for a bit will reset everything. Otherwise, it takes a special scan tool to read the codes causing those lights which means a dealer trip unless you know someone who has such a tool. Good luck and be sure to post back what you find.
  6. You can't use solid pipe in place of a flexible coolant hose. The engine moves. The radiator does not.
  7. Chance you take when modifying a vehicle from stock.
  8. Go to Lowe’s, buy a garden hose tee and a few hose clamps.
  9. 3.5 requires timing belt replacement every 100k or so. Guess you found out the hard way.
  10. You are too far above my knowledge. This stuff I leave to the professionals.
  11. Is that the correct connector for power? There are a bunch there.
  12. Impossible to diagnose an isolated incident over the Internet.
  13. Exactly. Couldn't have said it better myself.... ^^
  14. Take it back to whoever did the repair. You paid for it?
  15. Welcome. Glad to see someone still uses cursive. Though I admit that’s really hard to read. Lol
  16. Its supposed to so you won’t blow your engine up revving it up while in park.
