HardLuck Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I did it! I bought a 1991 Deville today. Pretty sure the BCM needs to be replaced and it runs a little rough at startup but seems to smooth out as it warms up. I will be driving it about two hours home...what should I be watching and listening for...other than the obvious? By the way, she only has a hair over 30,000 original miles.

Bruce Nunnally Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Welcome & congrats. First thing to do before leaving there is check the codes if possible. Any used car plan to change all the fluids, and look at everything to see what is going to need doing soon.

KHE Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Wow - what a find! Body control modules are usually very durable. What makes you think it needs to be replaced? The fuel injectors on the 4.9 engine can go bad causing a rough idle - the injector coil windings short out.

rockfangd Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I would put some good gas in it. Check all of the fluids Check the battery and charging system out check tire pressures check your lights Basically just make sure it is safe for the haul home. Best of luck, and post some pics GM FAN FOREVER Nice, clean, luxury= fine automobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardLuck Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Thanks everybody. The gas gauge and the a/c read outs (digital) both show a "d". I won't be able to check codes until I get back. I'll try to post pics tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Jim Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Made it home without problems. Don't know how to post pics. As soon as I figure it out I'll post some. The way I do pictures to forums is... Get a free Photobucket account... Upload your pictures to the free account... Make a few folders to organize your pictures if you want to... When you move the mouse over a picture, a little gear will pop up on the upper right corner of the picture. Move the mouse over the gear and a menu will drop down... click on GET LINKS... click on the bottom one...IMG Codes Then come to the forum and do a PASTE and your FULL SIZE picture is then here.

Bruce Nunnally Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Looks good. Blue interior? Bruce 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Follow me on: Twitter Instagram Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardLuck Posted May 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Looks good. Blue interior? Yes, blue leather. Interior is in the same condition as the exterior. CarFax report indicated the oil was changed about every 1,200 to 1,500 miles. Right now it looks like I'll be having the BCM, power steering pump and the serpentine belt replaced over the next few weeks. Other than that...everything works as it should.

winterset Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Wow. Very nice. Brings me back when i remember these on the road. I thought these were classy cars. I loved the roadster top, and the bold colors offered for this era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
