Regular "Non-performance" Shops in the IE
Regular "Non-performance" Shops in the IE Where do all you guys in the IE take your LS1 cars for "non-performance" work?
For example, my blower vent is stuck on the floor setting. The a/c and heating still works perfectly, as well as the fan speeds, it just won't switch from floor vents to upper dash vents, or to windshield defog, etc.
I figure Don Lee's/CMS wouldn't want to waste their time on stuff like this, and I don't really want to go to the dealer...
Any suggestions?

Maybe the vacuum line wasn't secured well after they replaced the valvesprings and it came off later that night?
I've looked under the hood for open vacuum connections but didn't see anything... I guess I'll have to look closer...
Thanks for the help! But I'm still curious as to what non-performance shops there are around that are "worthy" to take our LS1 cars to, LOL...

The vacuum line runs below the pcm close to the fire wall (passenger side).Kind hard to miss if you know what your looking for (easily missed not knowing what you are looking for)...lol...Just look on the pass. side it is tied into the big wiring harness...
Thanks a million!

It joined with a wiring loom, then emerged again near the back of the intake manifold, where I could barely see it. I felt around with my hand for open connections, and I found one, so I hooked it up, and I have air blowing out of the regular vents now!!!
Thanks a million!

I just take mine to Big O Tire and just give them the alignment specs I want. I interact with the actual tech who is aligning it in-case he can't actually set the car to the alignment specs I'm going for.
P.S. Is there a better way?

Send Ken(1 BLOWN V8) a PM, I always take my cars to the shop he works at for alignments, they have always done good work on my cars. I take my car there to patch the tires too, other than that I do all of my work myself.
