Yes, engine speed can be controlled bi-directionally using a Tech 2 or an advanced scan tool. That said, I have had poor results using my VCX Nano and Tech 2 S/W running on my laptop; the RPM's... -
Blckshdw replied to the thread What did you do to your GMT today? [Part II].Took some staged pics, and figured I might as well flush and bleed my brakes while I was at it. Hadn't bled them in years, so the bleeder screws were pretty feisty. Kinda rounded off the rear...

My daughter said the headlights went out on the 2006 TB, only the lows as both highs work fine. Wife figures maybe the switch or fuses, as what are the chances both went out at the same time...

Blckshdw replied to the thread What did you do to your GMT today? [Part II].Back in September when I got my tires replaced, the tech told me some of my bushings were bad, and was allowing movement, so my new tires would get worn out. When I asked him which bushings, he...
