  2. Fluid Leaking At Driver Side Rear Wheel

    in General SS

    Posted

    yeah the warranty def saved my ass but get this the warranty is up June 14th so just in time. I asked about getting another warranty but that one was priced at like $2500 so that is a pass. What pisses me off though is they asked why i didn't get the GMPP up to 100k and I told them I was only offered the 30k extra one. They told me it would of cost $300 more dollars and because I didn't ask about it is why it was never brought up.

     

    I didn't ask the dealer yet but how do they warranty the new rear that is going in? Anyone know?

     

    Way to go; Gettin in under the wire on your warranty! cheers.gif

     

    Their "don't ask, don't tell" policy on the 100K extended warranty suck's, big time, but thanks for giving the heads up on it.

     

    At $2500 for another warranty I think I'd pass and take my chances too.

    Great looking project, Fuel67. Sheet metal looks very good.

     

    Your Stabilizer bars and suspension parts look like a great direction to head in.

     

    I've seen a few cars of this era, (and several Chevelle's in particular), made over as tourers, on the Barrett Jackson auctions in the last year. (Lowered and big rubber among other things). Looks like a great idea, and a fun one, too.

     

    She will be a sweet ride when your done with it. I look forward to following your progress with it.

     

    :cheers: Here's a salute to you, sir.

    Welcome from another noob, and congrat's on finding your truck. It was a lucky day when I was offered the one I bought.

     

    Should be easy to get ideas to up the HP around here; I've studied the site long enough to come up with a head full of ideas. Now to save up the dough.

    Hey Fuel67,

     

    I hear ya on the "Too many toy's, not enough time.

     

    My truck goes into the shop Friday, for front diff. bearings, then I am off to Kinston Saturday evening. We should see if we can't schedule a meet, though.

     

    I've got a list going too. Too bad the dentist is getting so much of my paycheck at this point. Between the dentist and the needed brg's. my mods are on hold for awhile.

     

    Thanks for the welcome. Got any pics of your 67SS?

    Welcome John! heading your way to have dinner this week on the waterfront. We should get together, seem both our trucks are ready to have some mods made. I've made my list. So now I'll just have to divert funds from the 67SS to the V-Max. To many toys not enough dough.

    Well; I thought that I had it figured out.

     

    I had three photos show up in my reply box and in the "review" stage, but the pics and a few lines of text didn't make it to the posting stage.

     

    I am using a couple year old iMac and the latest version of Firefox. Is either of those the trouble?

     

    New guys sure are a pain in the butt, EH?

    Thanks for the welcomes guys.

     

    I look forward to joining in more here.

     

    Special thanks to idahoBLKss and STG313 for photo posting advice. I am getting closer. I wrote out this response, earlier, and managed to add a photo, that showed up in the response box, but it inserted itself in the middle of my text. I will add my photos to this one and post it regardless of where they show up and sort it all out later.

    John here.

     

    I am down in the salt marsh on the vcoast of North Carolina.

     

    Been hanging out here for a good while and soaking up info. Ive been a long time getting around to joining in the discussion because there is so much info already available, here, and I have been soaking it up.

     

    Last September a good bud who has a big towing business offered me a deal I couldn't turn down to trade my old 93 Siverado, (225,000 mi.), for an 03 SSS with 47,000 mi.

     

    Shortly after getting the truck my dentist started making demands on my finances and so I haven't been able to start modding. Thanks to y'all; I've already got a long list of "want to do" mods.

     

    Now lets see if I can figure out the picture up-load trick.

     

    Guess not. I'll figure it out later. (Gotta photobucket account. Any tips gladly accepted)

  24. Wow Guess How Much A Seat Belt Ticket Is In Ca

    in Off-Topic/General

    Posted

    245.00 I can't beleave it :mad: . Why is it so much this is my 2nd one but the last one was back in 04. What's the big deal why do they care if I use my seat belt? It was a chp that got me in town.

     

    Revenue generation.

     

    California is broke; Right?

     

    It's true that there are groups, out there, truly concerned with making the world "Damn fool proof", and the belts will save more lives than they take, but money is a prime mover here, I think.

     

    Here, (Eastern N.C.) the seat belt gratuity has gone from $25, (My first one), 15 years ago, to $100 for my third one just over 1 year back. I think that they've broke me, now, I hook the D@mn thing up before I twist the key, now.
