Nothing today, but probably going to pull the 09.5 ECM back out. Crank relearn won't work, and I haven't tried yet but I don't think remote start or cruise control will work either. Something about the various modules in the car not communicating correctly and I don't want to spend any more time trying to figure it out.
Someone will figure this out sooner or later, and I'll give it a go then - it won't be me!

Anyone who has ever worked on a car has been in your position, and sitting cross-legged on a concrete floor with a dim shop light is its own kind of hell... Chalk it up as one of the rites of passage.

5% on the windows and installed the Vararam! Happy Easter!
Installed my IOM Holden steering wheels today. Installs are getting much easier now that I've done it 4 times. LOL
Does putting it on twice because it’s much easier to put the steering column trim on before you reinstall the wheel count as two?Originally Posted by BlueG8GT
It really is pretty easy though. Not near as bad as it looks
things are not what they appear to be.....
2009.5 Liquid Red,Onyx Red, Premium Package, e85 Surprise Package
I've never had to remove the steering column trim for any of the installs. The first one I did was for my buddy, then I put the onyx in both of my G8's and just switched out the onyx for an ignition orange trimmed one in my IOM GT.Does putting it on twice because it’s much easier to put the steering column trim on before you reinstall the wheel count as two?

I've been waiting over a year to get this stuff done and luckily found a local, reputable shop.

'Charlie the GRRRR8' - Rest in Peace 11/14/2013
Hi all I know I have not been on here for a few months because I started a New Career as a Professional Truck Driver!
As I was let go again on December 20th but was paid through February I decided to get a job that is NOT going to go away! I went to work for Wil-Trans ( Wilson Logistics) out of Springfield, MO and I started my training on February 12th and got my Temp CDL on the 14th and then hit the road on the 17th with my trainer. We ran the highways for a few weeks and got back to the terminal and took my CDL exam with the backing tests and then the road test and passed with flying colors and have been with my trainer since and have racked up over 20,000 miles coast to coast and have seen some incredible sights along the way and drove in some snow Ice and black Ice very slowwwwwwwwww.
I hope to by the end of this month graduate and get assigned a Brand New Freightliner that is the rig I have been driving a 550HP Detroit Diesel and a 12 speed automatic which is the only way to go with a 53' reefer trailer.
It has been great so far and my only weak point is my backing but with more and more experience its getting better and let me tell you when President Trump said out freeways are is such bad shape he is not lying, I have been on some of the worst roads ever in Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia and other states, amazing any vehicle stays together.
Other than that that is what I have been up to
For some reason the photos will not insert but I put links below
