    Should I remove underbonnet sound deadener - LS1

    I have a WK caprice 5.7 and the engine covers have heat insulation so I was wondering what are the pros and cons of removing the under-bonnet sound deadening? I am guessing that it will be a bit louder but I think the engine will be cooler without the shielding there. What are the expert...

    Where to get Eaton Tru-trac for best price?

    Hi, I am looking to get an Eaton Tru-trac for my WK Caprice. Anyone know where to get one for a good price? I have found them for $625 but it seems a bit steep? Also I need a set of new genuine 3.73 diff gears. Would Holden be the cheapest for these? Thanks guys.
