yeh, but what is the best brand of oil to use? which snake oil is best? Which of those plug in tunes is best? Do I really have to use Dexcool?

That's what he means.

 

Ok, thanks for the insight. I just needed to know, so when I advise which whatever to use in an HHR , I won’t be deemed a jerk!
I only know what I know, by experience, and input of the members here in the site.

 

Yeah, I got my 725 from Rockauto and 724 from GM Parts Direct. About the same prices. They'll go in my future spare parts bin. So far my bushings and ball joints are fine.

I noticed the Rockauto price with tax and shipping was close to the GMPD price with they're unnaturally high shipping costs and no tax (for me.) I went ahead and got my 724 from GMPD.

Do you have the part number for the clutch pedal return spring?

 

Sadly GM Parts Direct canceled the order claiming NLA, luckily it was just for a spare. Hopefully one turns up again.

To be clear, I haven't gotten my 724 from GMPD yet and it wouldn't shock me if they cancelled my order too.

 

Oldblue, donbrew, and others,
PLEASE DO NOT STOP GIVING YOUR ADVICE..
Those that want to learn appreciate it and we grow in knowledge when we receive it.
Personally I only want to do a job once and your knowledge helps.
Thanks for ALL the help you have shared with me.

You’re very welcome! My Dad taught me that if a job is worth doing , it’s worth doing it right, the first time!
Just the other day, a friend asked me to have a look at his 4 year old GMC pickup, the battery was showing only 10.8 volts, static. He had called for roadside assistance, that guy simply used a juice box and jumped it to start. I asked if he recommended replacing the battery, he said no, just drive it.
We took the battery out and had it load tested, 2 dead cells, my neighbour bought a new battery, problem solved!

 

Me too. :)

 

Got my two 725s today so hopefully another 724 turns up so I have 2 matched pairs. One pair to go on soon and one for the future.

 

We just have to keep looking. I'll let you know if any pop up.
