Replying to: coachred (Aug 30, 2009 8:40 am) hey there coach. my 05 gto also has 70k miles - just got a new battery and trans-fluid swap after giving symptoms of clutch not totally disengaging the gears. for your car, sounds like the two cooling fans are operating normally. maybe the temperature-sensor is malfunctioning and reporting overheat when there is no overheat? presumably you are talking about the analog temperature gauge as the one which indicated overheat. fwiw, if you turn on the A/C that should make both cooling fans run all the time, helping to cool the engine! possibly check ls2gto.com also - lots of knowledgeable folks there... please do let us know if anything interesting is discovered. cheers...

Replying to: elias (Sep 04, 2009 2:20 pm) dear eilias, what battery did you get. my understanding is that the group 85 battery is only available from GM.   Thanks, RR70 Replies to this message: elias (Nov 09, 2009 6:42 am) roadrunner70 (Nov 09, 2009 4:27 pm) roadrunner70 (Nov 19, 2009 5:44 pm)

Replying to: roadrunner70 (Nov 08, 2009 9:35 am) hi roadrunner. i got a battery at NTB and do not recall its details currently. there are oddities with the battery spec - some battery shops will claim they don't have a matching battery. but they really do - once they see the battery they should say - oh we have an exact match for that (even though it won't be properly in their database!) not sure i recall all the details. iirc, "type 34 fits" is one answer , and you should not have to cross-over the +/- cables - should be an exact fit. ls2gto/ls1gto web site has plenty of battery discussion/advice to help you.
