I should be picking up a 2002 Arc Sedan in Darth Vader Black this week, if they get the sunroof fixed (tilts up & closes but doesn't slide back...).
Had a couple questions:
1) I keep hearing about "short" vs "long" serpentine belts. Is that a 4-cylinder only thing, or does it apply to the V6 as well?
2) OffStar: So who wants to nag SCUSA at the SOC in August about it? Maybe we could make up T-shirts... I can't see how it would be all that difficult to upgrade an older 9-5, when the 2004 & up 9-5s seem to be "compatible"...
3) Wires. At some point, will probably be looking to run wires from the dash BACK to the trunk area for a Ham Radio control head (Probably IC-208H). The radio will likely live near the OffStar equipment. Any tips on running wires down along the sill? C900s were pretty easy, I recall my 9k was a bear to do with all the plastic bits that snap in place.
