I called the dealer about those door clips and when he said 3.50 I asked how many you get for 3.50, he said one. I laughed and hung up.
I got on ebay and got 2 25 packs for a ford for 5$ each.
Then later on I found clipsandfasteners.com where you can get the correct clips for 10$ for 50.

I had the same problem with my '95. Replaced the injector and solved the problem.

Good Luck

Well the truck threw me a curve ball. I moved the injectors around 5 to 7 to be exact. and replaced the TPS cause it was apparently broke and I didn't know it. Truck seems to be fixed but we'll see how it runs this week. I love my new lights and leveling kit. Truck is really starting to take shape.

Handed the keys to my fiance so I can test drive the Buick we just bought. She said it's shaking real bad at about 45-50 mph. Signed up on Buickforum.com. I don't think anyone uses it. Ah well. Any Buick guys out there with some tech info pm me. Thanks!

Do you feel the shake thru the seat, or the steering wheel?

First thing I would do is rotate the tires, and see if the vibration changes. Might be as simple as a wheel balance problem.

Called the stealer about the license plate light pigtails and they told me 33.50 each. I said, "I don't need them that bad" and hung up.

Well, what kind of Buick is it? You could probably join a Pontiac, Chevy, or oldsmobile forum. Badge Engineering is bittersweet.

It's more in the seat but all of the tires are brand new. I am being told they have to be balanced by some special balancing equipment... DUNNO. As I was driving, it seems to have a small wobble while turning too.... DUNNO..

This is why I'm a Dodge guy.

Found a new site called buickforums.com Waiting for a responce from a tech.

On the car balancer? I don't know of any GM products that require it...... sure, you get a nice blanced rotating mass there.... (including all the other fun parts that move) but, required?? I don't think so.

If you feel the vibration thru the seat, but also a wobble when turning, there is more than one problem there.

If the tires are brand new..... I would still check 'em. Might have tossed a wheel weight, separated a belt, bulge in the sidewall, any number of things.

Just because they are new, do not exclude them from troubleshooting.
