Yo.

1. How do you remove the steering wheel center cap? I know there was a GB on them awhile back, but I never found out how to remove them. I have an '06 4 spoke wheel. I want to install the SS center cap from the Trailblazer SS. Will it fit?

2. I have an auto. Tough ****. I added B&M synthetic fluid to my dads '04 Monte SS when we replaced his fluid and it worked great. I had mine done a little while back and forgot to put it in mine. If there's only a few thousand on the new fluid, can I just dump it out and put in the new stuff and be ok?

3. How much is it to copy a Cobalt key at the dealership? My girl keeps misplacing hers and I want to get another one made.

4. I'm adding Eibach springs to my stock FE3 suspension over the summer. Is there any supporting mods I need to do? Or will I be sufficient as-is? I have a DC Sports front strut bar, and I plan on upgrading my sway bars in the future as well.

Thanks!

 

4. All you need are the springs. You have different struts than the 2.2, so you should be good for a long time on the stock ones.

 

Yeah. That's what I figured. When they go I'll probably just add coil-overs then.

How long will stock FE3 springs last on an FE1 car? I'd like to add mine to my girls LS. I heard it drops it a little.

 

THey should be fine for a good long while


It is the equivilent of having a pro kit

 

^^^Yup. You should be good to go. I used to have those before I changed to Sportlines. They really stiffen the ride up. Definately a good cheap mod.

 

So the FE3's are totally cool on the FE1?

 

Yep.

 

2. Yes you can replace the new fluid with the B&M fluid. Drain and fill will get most of the stock fluid out. The torque converter holds the majority of the remaining fluid. You could change the fluid twice. That would get most of it but not all of it. Or a local shop may have a trans flusher. The trans flusher my shop has exchanges 120% of the trans fluid with whatever you fill the machine with.

3. Keys are not cheap items anymore. Our cobalts along with ever other GM vehicle have a transponder built into the plastic head which needs to be programed to the car. Last time I had to replace a key if I remember correctly it was about 30 or 40 bucks for the key.
