RareGMFan Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 I was just thinking....do you think Prior would cut us a brake (<--yes...I spelled it that way on purpose... ) on the accumulators if we put together a decent order? I know many people on here need them. Hell, I may get 2 if we can get them down enough. I didn't want to post this on the group buys section until I could get a feel for what people think, and how many would be interested. What say you, eh???

Jeorge Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 I'd be interested for the right price....being I hate ABS and dont mind it being out....but would like it fixed right thou... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RareGMFan Posted February 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Yeah, it's not just an issue of the ABS not working. The accumulator not operating right/building enough pressure is going to effect the over all brakes, too. I've had my accumulator give out completely a couple of times (it's on its last leg, too), and believe me....it's not a fun experience to put your foot down, and find the car is not stopping, and then putting everything you got into the brake pedal. :shock: I've mastered the art of bringing it to a stop with no pressure, but I'd much rather prefer it functioning.

skalor Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 I'd be interested since I was going to buy a new one anyways. My ABS light flashes all the time an it's really starting to annoy me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herb427sc Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 It would not hurt to have a spare one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbtk2 Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 I was planning on going to the dealer and getting a couple new ones, one for my STE and one for my dads TGP coupe, but if we can get a bit of a deal on the prior one, then I'd probably be interested in a couple.

RareGMFan Posted February 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Oh boy, oh boy. This is all coming together like a well oiled machine. I'll start a tentative list of people in my original post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossman429 Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 I'd be interested. Haven't had any problems with ABS (yet) but it's probably inevitable. Wasn't there a fitment issue with the Prior accumulator unit? If it's a great price, I'll be in, but just for a spare for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herb427sc Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 The Priorr accumulator has the hex head to tighten on the backside. So you have to use an open end Wrench. The GM onecan be installed with a socket and a long extension.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 How much do you think they'd charge? I still have to figure out whether mine has a bad accumulator or pressure switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90TGP Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Anyone have a picture of an accumulator? And would it matter if it was on a non-ABS equiped car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfewtrail Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Anyone have a picture of an accumulator? And would it matter if it was on a non-ABS equiped car? If you don't have ABS, then you don't have the accumulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pontiac6KSTEAWD Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Hey RareGMFan, do you know if these units will also fit our AWD's? Depending on price, I would be down for one, and if they fit the AWD's too, 2... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RareGMFan Posted February 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Shawn - As soon as I get some time, I'm going to check into it. How many buyers = $xx.xx each, etc. I don't think anyone's attempted this, yet, so this should be interesting. Brian - I'm pretty sure they don't fit the Teves II. Size wise, maybe. But the pressures may be different. BMM bought one off of Prior for his AWD. They had nothing listed, but the guy looked into it, and found a unit that would work for just over $100, I think. He said it's bigger then the factory one, but it fit and worked without a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
