After all, where do used Cadillacs go when they die? To Cadillac heaven, of course! Cadillac heaven, located in Leland NC, has been shipping both small and large Cadillac parts to customers worldwide since 1985, when it was first established.


Karen Bilich, of Cadillac Heaven, says: “We have always loved Cadillacs but it was extremely hard to find good used parts for these vehicles. We knew there were many other owners and enthusiasts out there who were having the same problem finding parts as we were. That’s where the idea for our business came from. We wanted to help other owners of Detroit’s most respected brand, the Cadillac, to find the parts they need from a friendly, reputable company. We started this company long before the internet, mainly drawing on referrals from customers.”

Cadillac Heaven specializes in used Cadillac parts from model years 1960 to 2002. They have a massive inventory featuring a wide range of classic Cadillac parts for the Eldorado, Seville, Fleetwood, Fleetwood Brougham, 60 Special, Convertible, as well as other vintage parts. “We get a lot of customers looking for parts for the Cadillac Hearse,” Karen said.“Given our name, I’d say that’s appropriate!”

Cadillac Heaven is getting ready to celebrate their 25th year in business. “We have thoroughly enjoyed the past 25 years,” Karen states. “Cadillac enthusiasts are a particularly sophisticated breed of customer, and we treat them as such.”

I got a bit surprised today, went outside and remoteopened the door and sat into the car, that have been standing outside for approx 6days without beeing driven.
Click the startbutton and it crank, crank and crank. After approx 7sec I switch off, wait a while and try again same result. No attempt to ignite, engine symbol light during cranking (I dont know if this is normal or not).
No information texts or so, all in all its looks and sounds pretty normal expect it wont start.

I have replaced batteries in both transmitters, it recognise the Driver 1 and Driver 2. And it wont accept a the key if I put into the "pocket". So I dont think that's the problem.

Once I think I heard a single ignition, but it might have been my imagination also.

Any ideas what might have happened?

I have a '97 Deville with a '99 engine in it. About a month ago i picked up a minor miss thru all ranges. Within about 3 weeks time it turned into a full blown Cyl. #1 misfire. I have enough knowledge to be a little dangerous so here is what I have tried so far:
Swapped plugs with known good one no change
Installed one new wire on that cyl. no change
Swapped coil pack with another one no change
Compression check over 100
Installed one new injector no change
Cleaned grounds at ICM no change
Checked for Vac leaks couldn't find any

I have tried everything that my 20 years experience has let my think to check and the problem stays at the #1 Cyl. it does not follow the parts around to any other cyl.
I have always repaired my own equipment, but this one is kicking my butt!!! I really like my (Daddylac) It is my first one and hopefully not my last but I'm going to need some help on this one. Thanx for your time. J. Johnson

Hey guys, I forgot to add that when I pull the wiring plug off the injector at #1 it seems to make no difference in the engine performance. Does anyone know how to check the trigger there? is it just voltage or what?]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:33:29 -0500 http://caddyinfo.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=24256 New Strategy for Buick is working http://caddyinfo.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=24283 http://www.lenconnect.com/news/x1076979476...ing-dealers-say

So far, LaCrosse sales are strong, two local Buick dealers said, but factories haven’t been able to keep up with the demand.
...
Former auto executive Bob Lutz’s return from retirement to serve as vice chairman of marketing at General Motors resulted in Buick’s new slogan, “The new class of world class.” The plan is for Buick to make higher-end cars such as the LaCrosse and a 2011 Regal that’s in the works to compete against Japan-based Lexus.

“If you take this new LaCrosse and match it up against the Lexus ES350 or the Acura — if you looked at these three cars and lined them up — the Buick LaCrosse is more stylish, it has more features, and it has a better price than those other models,” Clift said. “And it drives better. We win all around.”

Prices for the LaCrosse start at about $27,000. Clift has sold six 2010 LaCrosses since its spring debut, Clift said.

We will let you read for yourself what AutoWeek and Jalopnik think of the upcoming Buick.  Me?  I think the 2.0-liter turbo with the six-speed manual sounds like just the ticket for a flack who has been happily driving Saab 9-5s and Saturn Aura’s over the past several years.

The Insurance Institute tests were critical of the 2010 STS for rear-end collisions. Not sure the 'more info' on why that is, whether it is unacceptable damage cost-to-repair or injury to the test dummies.

On the bright side, theweeklydriver.com article about the test had this nice STS image:

Check engine light came back on the day AFTER my last service visit (in September). Assumed it was yet another cat issue - so wasn't in a hurry to bring it in (as dealer told me no damage done). BTW, all cat visits were covered under basic emissions warranty. Finally took it in today -- they tell me the code is not cc this time, 2 codes coming up: P0446 & P0496. Rep basically told me that it's a purging issue - fuel vapors are supposed to be trapped by the canister. It's not purging anymore. Need to replace the vent valve and re-calibrate.

Here's my question. He said I'm looking at least $950 for this work (which includes my 30% employee discount -- which he gives me because he feels sorry for the amount of time my car spends there)... Does this sound right? I'm no mechanic, and I'm bummed this is not related to the cc issue (because that didn't cost me anything but time and irritation).

Also, on that note, when I fill my car up -- about 50% of the time it turns over but won't start. I have to turn the key again and then FLOOR it to get gas to it. I guess that likely supports what's wrong. Should I pay $950+ for this? I'm sick to my stomach. There goes my kid's Christmas. Should have kept my old '95 4-runner and put a new transmission in it. My service record file for this SRX is already twice the size of my 14 year old Toyota 4-runner. That said, this is obviously a nicer ride. Any advice you veterans can give this distressed, clueless Mom in San Diego would be great.

I am planning to visit Hershey fall market in oct 2010 and have already booked a room in Jonestown,Lebanon,Pennsylvania!

We are going to pickup a rental car at Avis at Newark airport,N.Y and driving to Jonestown...my question are if you know how long time it will take by car from N.Y to Lebanon? Just follow I-78 west a suppose!

Which didn't fix the problem. (Much to my dismay having shelled out 400 bucks for a new motor, and having dinked around moving the engine, etc... etc... to swap it).

The next thing to check I assume is the blower motor resister? Where would that be located and how would one gain access to it?

I'd think it was a fuse or relay or something since I've never heard the fan run at all (bought it in unworking condition), but than there shouldn't be power at the 12v correct?
