General Discussion / Scams

Last post by Tucker6077 - Today at 06:26:50 PM

It it absolutely disgusting the number of scammers that infiltrate these websites. Twice in one day I backed off a scammer, the second one was good. Both times it involved someone recommending another person. "Contact Rita her husband died and she has a lot of the parts you are looking for " BEWARE

Stefan,

FYI

Since we now need to include our CLC # this small error on the member Forum Profile may need to be corrected.

I hope the change in membership requirement in May will reduce or eliminate the scams. I recently posted a part needed notice and I only got two responses. Both were scams. The buy and sell parts section of this forum has been made useless by the scams.

I don't want this thread to become another debate on the merits of the change except the effect on scams. There have been many threads locked on that topic already.

We expect the scammers to drop to very close to zero. You can never make it completely safe, but the number that get through will be very low

Ok...I did find the section in the manual about adjusting vertical and horizontal placement of the trans/rear/driveshaft.  Without those special brackets and tools, how does one check this stuff?  Should I start with a shim under the carrier bearing and go from there?

RE:  clocking of the flex plate - Buicks of this generation use a kind of triangular flex plate that can be clocked incorrectly on the torque convertor, causing a vibration very similar to what I am describing with the Cadillac.  At this point, I don't think that is an issue on this car.  I think we are onto something with the shim situation, though.  I just have to figure out how to take the measurements without the goofy kent moore tools.

I think that I found it. My number is 30482.  Kind of stumbled on it.

Best Wishes.

O.K.  I have tried to assure that my CLC number is store as suggested.  Yet I do not find my username as suggested?  I have been a member for over 8 years and am in good standing.  But just want to be sure there are no surprises on May 1.

General Discussion / Re: First tire blowout - ever!

Last post by David King (kz78hy) - Today at 06:02:17 PM

A week ago I had tire let go while leaving a stop light in the 98 Deville.  I heard the noise but was not sure what it was, after driving a 1/2 mile, I could tell the noise was from me as the left front was pulling so I found the next cross street and pulled off.  I lost another from the set 2 years ago on a trip to WI.  I decided to put on the spare and changed the tire.  It was the OE mini spare and once installed, it looks low, so I called the wife to bring the portable air compressor and we filled it up.  2 days later I had tire ordered at a local tire chain store and the only white wall I could find was a Continental touring but it is very narrow.  It does not look as good as the wider ones, but it is stylish enough.  Installed was $740 out the door, so it will likely the last set for this car.  I will post a photo later once I've taken one.
