Hi everyone. I am the Northstar tuner that you may have heard about. I am a fully Trained and Certified GM Tech. I have been with GM since the end of 98 or 99. I am currently on several other Forums Cadillac Owners Forum Caddyinfo Lincoln VS Cadillac Forum Pennock's Fiero Forum HP Tuners Forum GM service Forum 60° V6 Forum and a few that I can not remember This means that I am busy and you will need to pester me! ;D I send time working at my job also. I am spread pretty thin. If you want something you need to let me know. I may get 20 PM's in one day. I lose track of them fast  I also do youtube, so I am spread thin. Just keep PM'ing me and send me emails |

Hey guy's I need some info on Aurora's
I just looked at several 01's and they all had 3.71 if they have V8.
Is this true for all 00+?
I know that the 95 to 99 had two ratios.
Any other optional info that you think I might need?

All 2001-03 4.0s have the 3.71 axle. 3.5s in 2001-02 have the 3.29 axle.
1995-99 Autobahns have the 3.71 ratio. 1995-99 non Autobahns have the 3.48 gears.

hey why don't you guys have a tab? Unfortunately some of our custom options like that are limited, since we are hosted on a "free" server supported by ads. We don't pay anything for the forum or software (good), but that means that we don't get all the creative control we'd like (bad). |

Hello AJ - I'm mostly clueless about all the mechanical stuff, but I'm crazy about my 'rora and know just enough about the Northstar to understand that it's a very unique and wonderful engine, so I can certainly appreciate your level of expertise. I myself have only the Shortstar (I love that name - it's so cute!  ), but it still sounds GRRR-eat! Anyway, Welcome!  |

I am very close to having a web site. This would have been more like a Supporting Vendor tread. I still need Aurora info.  |

I still need Aurora info. What Aurora info are you looking for? Don't you work at a dealership? I work at a Caddy dealer. I never heard of a Autobaun pkg untill someone asked for a program. This is a list of 98 Caddy modules This is all Class 2 and NO UART Cellular Telephone Docking Station Dash Integration Module (DIM) Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module (EBTCM) Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Instrument Panel Integration Module (IPM) LH Front Door Module (LFDM) Memory Seat Module (MSM) Navigation System (Japan export option) Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Radio (IRC) Radio Amplifier (AMP) Remote Function Actuator (RFA) Module Rear Integration Module (RIM) Road Sensing Continuously Variable Road Sensing Suspension (CVRSS) Module Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) Steering Column Tilt/Telescoping Module (TTM) PASS-Key®III Module (VTD This is a 98 Aurora The miscroprocessor-controlled modules in the vehicle communicate with each other through serial data lines. This vehicle uses the following 3 serial data lines: The UART serial data line The E&C serial data line The class 2 serial data line UART Serial Data Line UART-based communication systems have a master of the serial data line and remote transceivers. The master controls the message traffic on the serial data line by polling all of the remotes (control modules). The master then waits for the proper response. The control modules on the UART data line may include the following modules: The electronic brake (and traction) control module (EBCM/EBTCM) The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) The heater and A/C programmer The heater and A/C control The powertrain control module (PCM) The instrument cluster The cellular telephone module E&C Serial Data Line The E&C serial data line is a UART-base communication system. UART serial data lines have a master of the serial data line and remote transceivers. The master controls the message traffic on the serial data line by polling all of the remotes (control modules). The master then waits for the proper response. The control modules on the E&C serial data line may include the following modules: The radio The heater and A/C control The heater and A/C programmer The compact disc (CD) changer The cellular telephone module Class 2 Data Line Class 2 data is transmitted at a higher speed. The messages have a different configuration than UART data. While UART uses a master in order to control serial data line traffic, class 2 uses the peer-to-peer method along with message arbitration in order to manage the data line traffic. The control modules on the class 2 data line may include the following modules: The powertrain control module (PCM) The remote function actuator (RFA) module Now what about Tire. Are they all the same? Caddy's have 225/60/16 S 235/60/16 S 225/60/16 H ------ 130 MPH 235/69/16 H ------ 130 MPH 235/60/16 V ------ 130+ MPH 225/60/16 98W -- 150MPH 225/60/ZR16 ----- 150 MPH 235/60/ZR16 ----- 150 MPH 235/55/17 H ----- 130 MPH 235/60/17 235/55/17 98W - 150 MPH |

This is not to insult anybody here, but I have only very rarely come into a GM/caddy dealership (where the vast majority of the work on my car has been done, and where I bought it), and, after talking to the people there, thought that they knew more than me about Auroras. And I don't even know that much... Ajxtcman still doesn't really get the whole 2000 model year thing |

Each gen only had two tire choices. '95-99 it was the standard tire 235/60-16 and some "normal" speed rating. S maybe? Or the autobahn cars had a Z-rated tire.
2001-03 had the 225/60-16 on the V6 car, or a 235/55-17 H-rated on the V8.

You are trying to tell me that Old's did not have any Aurora's on the lot for sale in 2000 correct? 1995: 45,677 1996: 22,349 1997: 25,579 1998: 23,955 1999: 18,729 2001: 53,6402002: 8,576 2003: 7,217 Ok I hope you under stand how marketing works. What is the cut off for the engine change and PCM is? 96 to 99 = GEN 1 engine and GEN 2 PCM correct? After 99 = GEN 2 engine and GEN 3 PCM correct? Or did they sell 99 car up until June of 01. That would mean the they sold less than 19,000 from September 98 to September 00. If that was the case GM should have canned them earlier. Oh wait they had a strong come back the next year right. Do the math!! |

I am at a Cadillac only dealership. I work on 3 or 4 Aurora's a year. I am a PCM hacker! I have learned a lot about Caddy's off the forum. This is why I am asking. |

You are trying to tell me that Old's did not have any Aurora's on the lot for sale in 2000 correct? Oh yes they did. But they are 2001s. Saying '00-'03 isn't quite correct, imho. |

Or the autobahn cars had a Z-rated tire. 2001-03 had the 225/60-16 on the V6 car, or a 235/55-17 H-rated on the V8. The reason I ask is because of this example. I have a 00 to 03 4.6L program the has all the IM flags flagged YES. That means at the Emissions test station it will show up Passed. The deal is the PCM is on the bench and not plugged into a car, just my programming harness. Every other program will state NO. That program is only a H rated program (130 mph) so it is useless to me. On the other hand this Shelby program does not use an EGR valve. The EGR valve is not listed in the IM flags. They both will pass an Emissions test without an EGR. The First will Pass with NO Cat ;D |

You are on the other side of it. I am not looking at the VIN, but the Breaking Point in Production by DATE. VIN year VS Production Model Year I can bring up the very last Old's built as a 99 and the very first built as the next GEN by date. When I did this on the Devilles I found that they knocked out a few months later and 99 were built in between. 00 Deville Build date 05/18/1999 the next one was some time after 07/02/1999 I will need time for the exact date. |

ok, sorry, from now on when you say 2000 Aurora it will mean it was MADE in 2000. So sorry for the confusion! It's not the normal nomenclature, as you may well know... So why aren't you calling it '94-'99? It's ok if you didn't know there was no 2000 model year... I don't care either way. |
