My roadster. Tagged as a 1948 Reo, but it’s believed that the frame is off an early Hug truck, or another truck circa 1919. Engine is a 1948 Buick straight 8. reddit.com/gallery/lkpr3l

Any love for my old Rover? It's a P6 V8 from 1973 😎 it came from the factory with a Buick V8. Specifically the 215cid V8. Rover bought the tooling for the recently (at the time) retired engine and decided to shoehorn it into the P6 platform. The buying public loved it and the rest is history! reddit.com/gallery/s80lxk

2001 Buick Regal- vibrating sound when going straight above 15 mph but not when turning left or right. The rate of the sound is dependent on speed and not engine rpm.

I check all around all tires to see if something was rubbing and everything seemed fine. It seems to be coming from the front right tire. I thought it might be a bearing, but the turning left and right makes me doubt it. Any advice would be appreciated.

Edit: My room mate is an engineer at space X. He's the one that actually checked my car (trying to move the wheel, checking the tired for anything touching the wheel). He said he thinks its a bad wheel bearing but the noise quieting down significantly when turning makes him have some doubt.

SOLUTION: Bought a wheel bearing online. My room mate was the man and swapped it out for me, no more noise.

2005 Buick Lesabre Check engine light on due to coolant temperature reading below regulated temperature. Is this safe to drive on until Saturday?

I know it's likely a thermostat stuck open or the temperature sensor gone bad. I have to drive 2 hours to work tomorrow, and 2 hours back. Is this safe? Light just went on tonight and can't find anywhere to fix it. Temperature reading on the dashboard is only barely slightly lower than it was prior to light coming on

1999 Buick Park Avenue Ultra with 3800 supercharged engine. 155k miles. Reliable?

I have heard great things about the GM3800. I found a 1999 Park Avenue Ultra with one that is supercharged. Are the supercharged ones less reliable then the regular 3800? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I dont know anything about cars but I really want a buick after doing some research. He said he will accept 1500 dollars. Think this is a good deal? It was listed as 2k.

I was hoping I could get more info. I have little to no knowledge of cars and found this on my grandfathers land. All I know is that it’s a Buick, it’s got a straight 8, emblems say dynaflow, and it’s got 26k miles on it.

1995 Buick Regal 6 cyl 3.8 Engine

Hello, I am considering the purchase of a 1995 Buick Regal.

The selling price is cheap however there is an issue with the clutch.

I know near to nothing about cars unfortunately so I figured I would ask reddit after a little research still left me confused.

I never even knew automatic cars had clutches i thought it was only a manual car thing. So i tried to research online into how much the parts would cost, but i am having a hard time understanding what exactly i would need.

I was told the clutch would need to be replaced, so far i have located 4 different items ranging in prices from $4- $80. The Clutch plate, the clutch housing, the clutch spring retainer ring, and an auto trans clutch plate kit.

So i feel completely lost as to what i need to fix the vehicle any suggestions at all would be great, thanks.

Engine ticks under acceleration but goes away. So I have a 2010 Buick Enclave cxl. Twice now I would be accelerating and a tick would come up from the engine. Sounds like it ticks with every revolution. But it goes away after a couple minutes. Any ideas??
