  1. How Much Is This Going To Cost Me?

    in General SS

    Checked with another dealer today. $639 for the comp.

     

    Yeah so I got a call this morning and was told by the dealer, he misquoted the price to me. Turns out the new compressor was $725 ($1300 total) so needless to say I went and got my truck. I just ordered a NEW freeking compressor from vatozone for only $368.99. Yeah, that's a new one..... Dryer/accumulator for $60 and an o-ring kit for $8. Firestone said they would take the R134 out so I could replace the comp myself and then they would recharge it for only $175.

     

    I can't believe the prices the stealership wanted...... I'm going to save $689 bones now.

    dam$$ if you where here in vegas i would do it much cheaper :dbanana:

     

     

    Thanks, I wish man..... I just dropped her off with the staelership today. I was quoted $1K with a lifetime warranty.

     

    My wife complains that I have no reservations about dropping $1K on my camaro but when it comes to fixing my truck I whine. Well of course I do. No man in his right mind is goign to complain about buying something he wants, but when it comes to having to pay for fixing something, look out.

    Parts and labor were going to run me $800 for everything........That was the quote I was given last year from a guy here in town.....Needless to say, there is still no AC in the SS................ :nonod: ........Good thing it just sits in the garage now.............................

     

    Yeah I have been without AC for a year and a half now due to the cost of parts/labor. I wish there were a rentable evacuation system so we can do our own swaps. then take it to get recharged.

    Well I have been having problems with my AC in my 03SSS for a while now and have replaced the clutch assy (band-aid I know) and the destroyed tension pulley. The compressor is garbage so my only option since I don't have the proper i.e. legal tools to replace it or the other necessary parts that must be replaced with it, is to take it to a stealership.

     

    How much do you guys think this is going to rape me for?

    Alright I'm bringing this one back from the dead... I have an 03 SSS AWD and upgraded my brakes to the power slot 14" kit and picked up a set of Russell SS brake lines kit#672430 the same as Jim and am having the same problem. What was your solution? These things aren't cheap and I can't return them since it's past the 30day window.

     

    On the Russell package it says they are for 99-03 Chevy Silverado 4WD trucks. What gives?

  11. "lucky Fourteen" Z06 Brake Upgrade

    If you're on a tight budget, why dont you just wait to purchase the 15" rotors instead of getting the 14s only to go bigger later? Unless your rotors are bad already then i understand.

     

    Ooh its easter, any testing yet?! haha just kidding, just a little anxious :P:cheers:

     

    Yeah dude my brakes suck bad.... Supposedly there's a guy on gmfullsize.com that makes brackets for the C6 Z06 calipers to work on 14" rotors for $199.00. So I figured since I don't have a whole lot of cash laying around I could just go ahead and get the 14" upgrade kit from power slot and use my stock calipers until I get enough cash for the Z06 ones.

    As of now I'm not planning on making a "kit". Too much overhead. I'm just trying to pick up the torch where Ray left off as far as the brackets go. haul@ss found the best deal on calipers and I'm game for a group buy as well. As for rotors thats all Ray. He has the info, the source, a great price and a great guy to deal with.

     

    Cool, thanks. Can you post in this thread if the GP ever goes on? I'm going to go ahead and get the power stop 14" rotor upgrade for now. I'm kinda on a tight budget with my SSS. Eventually I'll get the calipers and the brackets for the 14" rotors.

    DK, are you planning on making a brake upgrade, "all inclusive" kit? Calipers, rotors, pads, lines, and brackets? What would be the overall price? This seems to be the best way to go for a brake upgrade.

     

    I've looked into power slots 14" brake upgrade kit for just the fronts and that with using the factory "shitty" calipers. Power Slot Plus Brake Kit Not a bad price but definitely not anywhere near the power of the 6 piston Z06 calipers......

    That sucker sound good!!!! SO if i gut my cats how much louder is the exhaust and would it sound better???

     

    It would be a bit raspy if you gut your cats and louder of course, much louder. Mine sounds great. No interior resonance except for at around 2K but, I like that! At WOT it freekin screams. Not quite as loud as my camaro but loud enough!
