Im going to be working on here in the next month or so the most comprehensive cadillac FAQ on the internet!!! Well, maybe no that big, but you get the idea.....

Anyway, I NEED YOU GUYS to post threads here of REALLY SOLID information.... Just post the thread links, and Ill sort through the mumbo jumbo.... This will be very good because it will provide FAST answers to most questions, so people wont have to post and wait for replys (and for the knowledgeable it will save them the time of spitting out the same info time and time again!)......

So, this is how I want it to flow...... Id like for you to , and then post the link of the thread and later in the post give a title for it, like "northstar headgasket problem" or something of that nature!!

Also, if anyone wants to do a write-up that would also be GOLDEN.....

Now, start digging up threads!!!

PS.... IF you find a thread out of place, let me or one of the other moderators know if it needs to be moved! This is also a good opportunity for us to really organize the site better!!! :golden:

Something to think about before putting "bigger" rims on your car

Thanks Josh.....

Well since my original plan isnt working as well, let me bring out plan B....

Make a list of the common problems you can think of with any cadillac.... Ill start

1. Northstar head gasket
2. Oil leaks
3. Oil consumption
4. Pre 92 seville/eldorado/deville heating problem
5. 4T8E transmission solenoids
6. Service Ride Control Message

Help me add to the list!

BUMP... I need your help guys!!!!

Dont you want a super easy to use FAQ section????

These topics have been repeated several times but they are important,

Can i make my cts play movies while im moving?
What aftermarket products are available for the cts?

This is the kind of stuff I need!!! Keep em coming!!

the seville/deville vibration

BUMP... I need your help guys!!!!

Dont you want a super easy to use FAQ section???? A couple off the top of my head Wes.
Programming keyless entry.
And lately since it's winter, problems with heated seats.

Thanks bob, I sorta forgot about this!

Im gonna sticky this!

How bout will aftermarket parts void my warranty?
Are Vogue Tyres worth the cost?? (no)

Checking trouble codes would be another good one. And problems with those lamp mintors on the hood and over the back window. And maybe also the parking brake not releasing when you shift out of park.

I saw some posts in the electrical section that look like they'd fit a lot better somewhere else. I replied to them mentioning that, they're on the 2nd or 3rd page now I think.

If i come across it, I'll be sure to take care of it!

Pre 93 gas tank stumbling problemWes, I just read a thread that reminded me. Mid 90's STS's seemed to have a pretty common trunk leak problem. Just a thought.

I think as you get all these, you should make a big single document. That way it isn't all piecemeal looking and shit.

Thats what I was planning on doing......

Rear bumper fillers on older models might be good:

How To

Retrieve codes by model and year

What they mean

http://myweb.accessus.net/~090/dtcobd2.html (http://myweb.accessus.net/~090/dtcobd2.html)

Definiately wes, you need to include a comprehensive code machine. You need to be able to type in a code, and it will come up with the information you need, what the code is, and several solutions. Also, what all the valves mean and what type of problems that are associated with them.

That would be great, but I wouldnt really know how to design something like that (it would take FOREVER!)

well you could make a list at least, i may be able to help. Uh, dont' forget the deville heater core problem, i dunno if it was mentioned or not.

Here is the RPO code list link.

Just a thought Wes, but if practical, it could be helpful. Though it's not exactly what you're asking for here.
A sticky list of members who have service manuals and are willing to be PM'd or e-mailed by other members needing a reference. We see all the time " you should get a factory service manual" and most people that need 1 will. But others may need it once or twice, and can't justify the cost. Others will get 1, but need answers in the mean time.
I have the book for 92 Eldo\Seville that would also be helpful for other years of 4.9. I'll look things up for members and I know other people will as well.
You guys kick it around as a suggestion.
Bob

We're not big on having members emailed or pm'd with questions that others may need to see referenced later. We like to keep everything on the message board so that it's archived and there for when it's searched later on...

Common repeats seem to include:

wax type for paint

Tires? What brand, etc.

air ride suspension problems

What rims are the most cool?

Exhaust

Starters, alternators, etc. (probably under electrical)

?

Ive seen more than one thread on Antilock and Traction off lights being on.

Possibly Bose system compatibility with aftermarket speakers/ amps/ or headunits.

All great ideas...

I don't know if we have this already, but a car audio section. Wiring diagrams and such.

I know davesmed has an alldata subscription, maybe we could get him to put this up.....

Just an FYI - we have a section up - sortof:
