As for checking the temp of various SHIT on your car, go to harbor freight and pick up one of these:
I used one for checking the heat sink temp on nitro r/c engines, works great on full scale cars too.
Nope, had a black on black 2010 SS with 6 speed and hurst shifter. I kept the Cobalt because it isn’t worth anything and makes a good winter beater. The Camaro was too heavy for the LS3, but I especially didn’t like the 2010 interior (shitty seats, gay steering wheel, no HUD, gay radio). It also got 16 mpg around town - I drove it hard, but if I’m going to drive something that gets 16mpg it’s gonna be a Tahoe.
Sold it to some habib from KY. :rofl
