I've never had a motor fail. It is always the cable, pully system that fails. I've replaced the originals, 3 of them on my LeSabre. I go for the cheap ones. I haven't had any replacements fail yet. It takes about twenty minutes, tops. Don't forget to lubricate the window gaskets! Use a lithium...

Almost positive they are the same. What did you find?

I did this repair, put a new hub on the front of my LeSabre. I torqued to 118 ft pds. and have had flawless results. Yes, use a new spindle bolt. When changing hub, new hub bolts recommended as well.

ACDELCO FW293 from Rock Auto. Never did it before in my life. It took me a couple of hours. I watched videos on YouTube. A1auto has a really good video on it. Be sure to buy a new spindle nut, and new hub bolts are recommended. That was 27k miles ago. No problems whatsoever! this is absolutely a...

sounds like you have multiple issues. The transmission may need to have the fluid changed, also the TPS can cause shifting issues. the overheating could be because you need the coolant changed, maybe a new water pump. Mass Air Flow sensor can be cleaned. Be sure to use M.A.F. Cleaner ONLY. other...

Haynes Repair Manual, 1994 upper intake bolts: 132 Inch Pounds. OR 11 Foot Pounds.

I don't have any experience with your situation. But I have heard that the front motor mount is the one that causes the most problems.

I keep my Cover on , to protect it from michigan salt and other crap from the road. I cannot believe what a mess the salt made one day last year. Salt all over the place, even on the ignition coils. it was all over the inside of my engine bay. I don't know anything about mufflers.

157,000. 2004 Limited. Was having some hard shifting, code 1811's and I put in a TransGo Shift Kit. RUNS LIKE a NEW CAR now. I can't believe it!

There's a solenoid in the engine compartment, on top in front, and then there's one at the back, just above the driver's side rear axle. Gas cap can also set off a evap leak code. The one on top of the engine, in front is normally closed, so you can check it by taking it off and try to blow...

SO, in case anyone's interested, I put in the TransGo shift kit. AMAZING. It drives like a BRAND NEW CAR. I still can't get over it. Drives like a dream, is buttery smooth. I put in a new filter, and two new magnets that the GM bulletin recommends placing. I also put in a Dorman pan with a drain...

not 100% what you are swapping, but I took the whole headliner out of my 2004 LeSabre last year to replace the fabric. The Map light console is pretty much the first thing you take down, and the last thing you put together. I forget how it mounts exactly, but there is an electrical connector...

That makes a lot of sense guys! Thank you for your imput! :cool:

If you can get the bolts out, try doing the washer thing that Cadillac_Al said. The bolts are probably rusted and seized in there. They may even be rusted in half. If the car is that rusted, it's probably a lost cause.

I did this project last year. I bought the headliner fabric from JoAnne's fabric really cheap. The 3M headliner adhesive. you will need 2 cans of that. Be CAREFUL. when placing the fabric. Wherever it TOUCHES is where it WILL BE permanantly. This glue will not allow you to adjust the fabric...

Probably throwing good money away, but I use Mobile 1 synthetic 5w-30 for older engines. and Wix Extended Performance 51040XP filters. I get the filters from Rockauto

I plan to replace mine with Moog, when the time comes. Heard nothing but good about Moog.

When I bought my 2004 Lesabre used, it had an OBD code indicating EPC Transmission Pressure Solenoid. I don't remember the exact code, but I erased codes, and this code has never came back after 26k miles. I am, however, still getting the P1811 codes. My plan is to put in a trans-go shift kit...

I just have stayed with the stock wheels, I guess. never thought about it. Whatever makes you happy!

Hi, I had a local shop replace my brake lines to for the rear wheels... Among my concerns, the brake lines were resting (touching) right on top of the sway bar. I managed to wiggle and flex the lines enough so now they are about 1/4 inch above the sway bar. Do you think that is enough clearance?
