  1. Ok. My dealer is supposedly having a problem. They are saying something with the carrier that they have to have for the rebuild is no longer available/obsolete. I find that hard to believe for some reason. Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2
  2. Well i got the call from the dealer. They said my front diff was definetly whining. Duh. They also said that my oil cooler lines were starting to leak and that there were some studs broken off of my exhaust manifold??? They said it should all be covered on my warranty.

  4. Just needs to be lowered. Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2
  5. There is a reason why I get a lot of miles out of my cars. I had a Honda that the motor in it I swapped into a different car that had 400,000 miles on it. I sold the car with 430,000 on it. Still runs today. You would never know. My s10. Has 240,000 on it. I have driven it to MI 3 times now. Once to Bristol, TN towing a car. I take extremely good care of my cars. I also for the most part do all the work myself. Except when I don't have the correct tools to do it. Aka rebuild a diff. I still have all of my tools from when I was a mechanic. And when I do something "aftermarket " to one of my vehicles I do it right and do it right the first time. With typically no I'll effects. It took me 6 months just to lower my s10 just to do my homework and figure out how I wanted to do it. Now that I have done it it rides better than factory. Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2
  6. I'm just one of those people that doesn't like my vehicle in a shop and someone else working on it. I worked in shops/dealers for 8 years and usually do all the work myself. But I am no longer a auto tech so I no longer have access to do the stuff myself. I just don't like it cause I am extremely anal about my vehicles being done right. I can look past a finger smudge and stupid stuff like that, but something that is simple and just looked over gets me boiling pretty quickly. One of the reasons why I got out of the business. I didn't like sometimes having to "bandaid" someones car and just not do it right the first time. I treat everyone's car that I work o. Like my own. Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2
  7. They weren't able to look at it tonight. I got there a little to late. So I will for sure find out something tomorrow. Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2
  8. Well it is covered under an extended warranty. I was told that if it goes past a certain amount that an adjuster for the warranty company has to come out blah blah blah. I am thinking 2 days but... i probably wont see it til friday. Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2

    Well the time has come up for the front diff to be rebuilt. It has gone from a whine on slight acceleration to a growl. Hopefully it won't take the dealer to long. Anyone know average turnaround time? Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2
  10. That would be awesome Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2

  15. He stated that his shop went thoroughly through the suspension. He said when he goes over bumps his truck shimmys's horribly. I still say shocks. Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2

  22. You know not to sound mean but WHY THE F**k are we pulling an AMERICAN legacy with a foreign truck. This country sometimes really amazes me... Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2
  23. WTF?????? Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2
  24. Maybe I shoudl explain myself about why I would take the LS7 over the 502,540 and the 572. Big blocks are fun and all but they can only spin so fast and takes a lot more to spin up with all the added weight. Don't get me wrong and don't flame me over this but they are great motors but sorta old school in a way. I'm new school. Now the LS7 is a small block 427 that redlines at 7K right from the get in stock form. And in stock form they are what 500HP. Imagine what the possibilities are with this motor. You got cubes, RPM and power right from the get. Do the math. Resident Taxi Driver
  25. I just realized that too. My truck does the same thing. Mine shift at 70 at about 5600ish. I strongly think that he has a tranny issue. If he is shifting at 75 it should be around 5800... that is why I believe the trans is skipping over 3rd and going straight to 4th. Resident Taxi Driver
