You're not looking for a STICKER. You're looking for a cast in date. It'* raised text in the plastic itself.

Is this a Performance question? Most of your questions seem to be dealing with mechanical issues.

I think you misunderstand me with the sticker thing. We already figured out the date that the UIM was manufactured, the sticker we are talking about is the one below the PCV valve cap to tell us if it is a GM part or some other manufacturer.

I came on here to ask more about the PCM and to get some suggestions but since I was making a post I thought I'd add some quick questions so I didn't have to keep track of multiple threads. Sorry about that, I'll try to keep my posts cleaner and in better order in the future.

Those bolts were terrible on my car. I put on a generic ratchet from Wal-Mart with a deep-well 13 that was equally as cheap because I thought I'd break them. I found it easier to take off the strut bar and put it on the ratchet to get so much more torque when taking off the power steering pump. The bolts were fine, not twisted, and I still have the ratchet and socket. Pretty good idea from the guy that was helping me. Is that what you were referring to?

First time seeing this thread.

I wouldn't suggest emptying and cleaning the rad out. It sounds like you are seeing a reddish oil on top of the coolant in the overflow. If that'* the case...check your transmission fluid right away.

It would appear that your radiator cooler for the tranmission (built into a side tank) is leaking. When Dex and green mix..it'* a well mixed brown that occurs.
