1992 Cadillac Eldorado 4.9L

Summary:

Best car built in the last 30 years

Faults:

- My alternator squealed at 120,000 miles - I had the bearings changed.

- The head gasket developed a slow leak at 140,000 miles while pulling a very large boat in heavy traffic (my fault) - I had to replace a head gasket and install thread inserts for the head bolts at 190,000 miles.

- Instrument cluster started to act up, so I replaced it with a used one at 196,000 miles.

- Seats wore out in front at 180,000 miles so I replaced them with used ones from a newer model. (I don't treat the leather with conditioner like I should)

- The aftermarket imitation convertible roof was getting noisy, so I removed it and repainted at 175,000 miles.

General Comments:

This car looks and runs like the day it was born. It's fast and gets 33 MPG on the highway while doing 70 MPH. I'll keep it till I die.

Nothing, but the IPC losing communication with the PCM intermittently.

Very smooth riding car that is quiet and comfortable. The 4.9 has plenty of torque to get the vehicle moving and it sounds really nice coming out of the exhaust.

I fixed the IPC PCM problem with a PCM I bought from a junk yard and now the car is a dream to drive. It rides so nice and is the quietest car I have ever driven. The 4.9 has plenty of power to get up and go and is a reliable engine, I love my Caddy.
