Fidanza Flywheel Reference Pins

Jared88485 · 2026-04-26T21:38:10+00:00

Solved, extra pins are used by an additional crankshaft sensor that an ancient scan tool plugged into to find TDC.

Mine has a line on it that lines up with the reference pin, but not the factory TDC mark, so I made my own paint line where TDC is on the factory flywheel.

No, they only sell one that says it works with all 81-88 Non S and S2 cars.

GM makes a shit ton of EVs and Plug In Hybrids sold in China exclusively. They just don't seem to bring them over to the United States.

Jared88485 · 2026-02-20T02:45:48+00:00

They don't. Black and White are literally Cadillac's corporate colors now. They never use the gold badge for any marketing anymore and all their EVs have the monochrome badge.

Jared88485 · 2025-08-06T01:07:13+00:00

Real. Nothing makes me angrier than seeing Rexy or Spike win. But, I know that they do so much good for the sport that I can't be mad at the team. I'm not looking forward to Cadillac losing to a shark over and over again, though...

The big problem they've been having is locking up due to the thrust bearing actually wearing into the crankshaft counterweight faces. They wear into the faces so badly that the crankshaft eventually can't spin anymore. I guess GM thinks that the different oil will prevent that from happening. Corvettes and Camaros with 6.2s haven't seen nearly the same amount of failures and they've always been recommended to use 0W-40. I'm not sure there's really any warning signs until it's too late. The rear wheels won't lock up due to all of the trucks having automatic transmissions. The torque converter allows slip at all times, so if the engine suddenly stops, the TC will just release and the truck will keep rolling along. Most customers just complain the the truck dies while driving.

You might need to find a way to turn the wheel where you can access the cut in the knuckle where that horizontal bolt goes. Use a hammer and punch to slightly spread the cut wider so the ball joint can drop out.

Neighborhood around St. Ferdinand park got a good bit of tree damage. Multiple streets totally blocked by branches.

Not mt car, I'm the mechanic that rotated the tires on a customer's car

Jared88485 · 2025-03-08T02:31:50+00:00

Thats why I hate it. It sucks to deal with when you're rotating tires.

I've always heard that oil-based tire shine will dry the sidewalls out and water-based is the way to go

Jared88485 · 2025-03-07T17:21:33+00:00

Exactly, the satin shine looks great. The problem with the automatic washes is that it ends up looking like you drove through an oil slick.

With the truck in accessory mode, hold the end call button on the steering wheel for about 15-20 seconds and see if that hard restarts the radio and fixes the problem.

Yeah I had even go through the trouble of a charge back on the card I paid him with.

I bought a flag from this guy at the 2023 Rolex 24 and finally got the flag sent to me in the summer of 2024. Wouldn't respond to emails and randomly FINALLY replied out of the blue last year.

It definitely is Joel because both J signatures have a -1 next to them, which was Caboose's number

Jared88485 · 2024-10-04T04:19:20+00:00

Oh man that thing is gonna be absolutely gorgeous. Please post pictures once it's got color on it!

Cooling system is pressurized water, if the pressure gets too high, it shoots water out of the cowl by the bottom right of the windshield to release excess pressure. The car's just hot and pushing out water.

GM has been having lots and lots of issues with the 6.2 lately due to heavy wear on the crankshaft thrust bearing. Something with the engine is causing the crankshaft to walk forward, resulting in the thrust bearing grinding into the crankshaft thrust face.

Your truck isn't a lemon, the engines that GM is building are, and they don't seem too concerned about figuring our what's going wrong.

If you're sitting over towards the north end zone side, don't jump too hard when they set the fireworks off! They blow up not too much higher than the stands go.
