So just a little update in my stripping my doner so up to the point that I have to remove the subframe bolts and they just keep on spinning did this happen to anyone my guess is I'm going to try to see if I can fit a blade between arm and frame and cut bolt out


And just a little suggestion to anyone buying a donor try to stay away from rust buckets like mine its not fun

PB Blaster or other penetrating oils will help a lot if you hit them days before. I didn't have much of a problem surprisingly because it had a lot of corrosion on it. I hit all of the exhaust bolt with penetrating oil and left it on there for at least a week before I even tried and much to my amazement, they came right off without any fuss.

It does suck to have to fight those bolts.

 

[David]

Finally it only took me 3 hr for 2 welded on bolts and 5 blades but I finally dropped the engine

So I'm wondering what are guys using for a service manual I would like to have one for a 08 SS/TC

I'm also using alldatadiy.com for model year specific stuff. It's like $15/yr and has been very useful so far. I was skeptical about it but it's been worth it.

 

[David]

Is it for a specific year and model because I have a 08 SS/TC not sure if it is Different berween years

 

[SliderR1]

The alldatadiy.com is year and model specific. I bought the subscription to my 05 SS/SC, so I can't look up stuff for an 08 SS/TC.

 

[David]

Thanks I'm going to look into it

So I'm looking to start stripping the rear Tomorrow but I have a question about video 8 towards the end when they take the fuel pump out of the tank he mentioned that if the car was a low emission car that the pump is stuck to the bottom and you will have to buy a new pump.
So first how do I know if car is a low emission car? And if it is do i have to do anything different? Besides buying a new pump for a SS/TC does anyone know of a part number don't want to order the wrong pump

If it was a car from CA. I believe.

 

[David]

But how can I tell if it's from Cali because I bought it from a dealer in my and they told me it was from Cali but how can I double check that

SliderR1, thanks for the tip. I signed up, & found a discount code - DIYDISCOUNT - for $19.95 / 1 yr or $29.95 for 3 years. Anybody with a 2010 SS can PM me if you need anything.

I'm not positive, but I think those low emissions cars had the xfe logo on the trunk lid... Adam can probably verify that.

[David]

So I Subscribed to alldatadiy.com but I thought it was like a service manual and mybe I'm not using right but there are only Certain thing that show up

 

[David]

I like the Chilton Library better so for not sure what the alldatadiy really do can someone explain to me thanks

 

[RichN]

I did not have XFE on the trunk lid
Look for NU6 on the trunk sticker
See my build log post #16 to see what the pump looks like

 

[David]

So i found this on the cobalt forum but my car only has

NT7 Emission Override Federal System
