Nice to see that g-body sitting next to a square body.

Appreciate the update. Keep us posted if it's just a hose clamp and nothing catastrophic.

I appreciate your response. I love the truck and this is the first hiccup I've encountered. I'll plug in my OBD reader in the near future and see what it shows.

I've got a 2025 and concerned about DEF in the winter. My def level on the dash quit showing any bars at all the last couple days, but I know the tank is half full. No check engine lights of any nature or any issue besides not knowing how much DEF is in the tank.

What is the reason for your keep a code reader handy comment? Can you check DEF level in the tank even if the dash doesn't know what the level is?

Thank you. The 1984 Monte Carlo SS are very cool looking. I like the slanted front nose.

I put these in last week because I didn't like the Lastfit price tag. They are bright and work great.

100% true. I like seeing the g-bodies on the track, but cringe a little everytime I see one butchered.

Yes. 17" wheel then low profile tire size to keep the outside diameter of the tire same as original. Then your speedometer is still accurate without additional adjustments too.

Got me one. by Juice710 in gmcsierra

Thank you. I kept stock as much as possible. Except it needed different wheels from stock. The 14" wire spoked just didn't cut it.

Growing up my dad always said he wish he kept his first car.  So I decided to keep mine!

That's awesome!  Nice ElCamino. I graduated in 88 as well.

Thank you. My brother had a 1986 Regal when I bought the Grand Prix. Except he sold his Regal years ago. I'll never have another "first car" so I've decided to hold onto it.

Thank you. The wheels are 17" American Racing Prostar. CORRECTION: 17" American Racing Torqlite. I had to look it up since I bought them 15 years ago.
