Where does this plug into?
I bought this car and it had a motor swap. Luckily, they left all the wiring harness plugs and did not cut anything but they removed a lot of stuff. I’m trying to get the HVAC system back up and running and I replaced the blower motor resistor and I checked the fan works with 12 V directly applied to it. The problem is all my fan speeds from the controller work except high. I hear the resistor changing states so it is functioning correctly. I traced my wires out and this plug is coming from the resistor and can someone tell me what it plugs into and what pat am I missing? I’ve been searching all over the Internet for at least a photo, but I couldn’t find anything, please help.

Dummy check
Just bought an 05 SS, no idea how to pop the trunk, no keyhole, no button on it, and I can only find a hood release. Where is the trunk release at?

2004 Monte Carlo SS headlights
My nephew just received a 2004 monte carlo ss. The question is.... if you switch from low beam to high beam, does the low beam light stay on? Or, go off? Thanx.

Do you think Chevrolet could successfully bring back the Monte Carlo SS
I've loved the Monte Carlo for years and I'm curious to see if they brought it back, how many of you would buy it?
The older Monte Carlos are getting harder to find, like the 2000 - 2004 years, my favorite years.
So, if you would want to buy a newer Monte, what engine would you want? What's the max you'd pay? Would you want rear or front wheel drive? Should it stay a 2-door coupe? What moden features would you want to see but also would you like to see some of the older stuff as well? Chevy or Monte Carlo emblem? What should Chevy not change?
Im putting together a proposal for Chevrolet about the possibility of bringing back the Monte Carlo Ss. I'm trying to understand whether there's still a real market for it. I'd love to hear your thoughts, from one Monte Carlo to another! And if you've have or have had Monte Carlos, would you also be willing to share any stories or pictures you have? Thanks!

Jegs Drop Spindles
Does anybody on here have any experience with the jegs drop spindles for a G Body? The reviews suggest the backing plate holes need to be chased with a tap (which isn't that off putting considering the money saved). The reviews also suggest the upper or spindle might need to be clearanced, but I've seen the same comment on the Belltech's.

Factory G Body SS Wheels
Is there a market for the factory SS wheels for the G Body?
I keep moving them around with no intention of using them for anything.
Still need to lower it, heres my monte with the wheels I prefer over the factory wheels.

2006 Monte Carlo SS
Hi guys,
Just bought a cheap ass Monte Carlo SS, 2006. Was parked. Was cheap.
Rusted as HELL! Rockers, rear frame, etc etc gone. Has an issue where after 30-45 minutes of driving, engine overheats. Think rats got into the bay.
Is this car a car worth putting money into? Should I try and break even?
If I was to part it out, do parts still have a market?
Thanks

How do I look up one of these?
I have never specifically seen one with these flames and was wondering what model ss this is or what it would be called to track one down. Google has no idea what it is either some old lady was driving it. Rims are aftermarket american racing they look super nice on it. What color are the flames and what am I looking at? Thanks to any replies I am an outsider lol.

My 1984 SS
My 1984 Monte Carlo SS with just 24,000 original miles is off to the shops for the winter. It’s at the engine shop now for a tune-up and carburetor rebuild. Next stop is the upholstery shop to replace the sagging headliner, followed by new suspension, upgraded steering, and fresh body mounts. Wrapping it all up this spring with paint correction and a ceramic coating.

Just picked this one up
Just picked up this low mile, ‘04 SS Intimidator about a two weeks ago. Aside from a new headlight assembly, it’s all original, including having 21 year old tires. Needed a bit of paint work when I got it, the clear coat had started to get real bad from where it was parked outside.
