I understand that many people have all sorts of problems with the 4.X Cadillac engines. I don't know why this has to be. lol.
First, 4 days after I bought the car, the serpentine belt that connects the engine broke off. The belt wasn't new, but luckily nothing was damaged.
Next, my AC sorta worked. I went over to the dealer and said, make it work better. Maybe they misunderstood me, replaced it with new stuff and blew the heck out of the old condensor. Now I spent like 300 bucks for nothing. Hot air.
I obviously have the normal "gangsta-lean" from the rear air-ride.
I also have the official high rev problem that we all come in contact with frequently.
However, now, I was comming home from the movies last night when my car started making weird noises. I turned down my radio to analyse it. I didn't need to bother. It started out by the car seeming to work more to accomplish the same ammount of power. Then all of a sudden a slight *wheeerrrrrrr* sorta noise. I come to the crest of the hill I was climbing and try to give it some gar *wheeerrrr WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*. The car sounded like some dirtbike. I immediately turned into some guys driveway and turned it off. It turns out that the connecting rod (I think) like disconnected from something. lol. So it was just floppin' around in there. We towed it to the dealer today and they're gonna look at it tomorrow. So...we'll see.
I love my 4.5. Do you? :yup:
