db130 Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Did you do this on your 98 or 00? Or does it make a difference?Installed it on the '00 which I suspected had a dead boost solenoid. The factory solenoid on the '98 is presumed to be working. In summary, a cheaper and supposedly better alternative to the factory solenoid.

Thats a good price for the plug and solenoid, the GM dealer wants $31 dollars for the plug and $29 for the solenoid! :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
