That can happen with 3.8ltr holden V6s... My mate nearly lost his trans as a result of trans fluid and coolant mixing in the radiator of his VT

Can anyone else confirm a small amount of wobble in their LS3 crank pulley and that it is a normal thing?

Yeah I heard that and I heard of some people leaving it and not worrying about it and then when they finally did fix it they had to replace a whole pile of stuff like ACC belts etc.... still this gives me some peace of mind coz it wasn't worded exactly the way you worded it and now I'm wondering...

Mine is still under new car warranty... so would I be be better off just bringing the issue up at the Holden dealer and hoping to get it done for free? Do you know what's involved in getting warrenty repairs?

I purchased my LS3 VF SS about a month and a half ago... since purchasing it I've noticed that occasionally it idles a little bit rough on start... there isn't any noise, or lack of power, just a lumpy idle... But just yesterday on closer inspection I noticed that the harmonic balancer had a...

Do you use DexCool?

Thank you for that, there's some clarity I needed to see! The main question I have then, is what is the best coolant to run in the Gen4 V8s that may prevent this from occurring

I have done a search on this but can't seem to find anything consistent on it... Basically when I check the radiator cap, the coolant is clean, red, and consistently full...

Also I've owned a fair few LS1s and 304s... Is there anything an LS3 owner should know about the LS3 if going from LS1 to LS3 because I know the motors are very similar? What's the most common knowledge issue so far with the LS3???

I didn't realise that they needed priming... I never primed mine on my LS1s... what I did do though was fill them up at least halfway with oil before I put them on

Tell me everything there is to know about the LS3... I'm all ears

Hi I realise that people have probably brought up issues like this in the past but now that the vehicles have been out for a couple of years I thought it might be better if I just made a new post... Basically when I get underneath my car I can hear a tick sound that sounds very similar to an...

Hi, I have the option to buy a cheap but good quality VCM OTR intake for my VF SS LS3, and I'm curious to know is it possible to achieve hi output horsepower gains, while at the same time maintaining low end torque or improving low end torque, when it comes to installing mods such as headers and...
