  1. So it does not just take the place of an existing O2 sensor?
  2. I wouldn't worry about it. They're doing trim work, so they won't drive it far enough to notice. They probably wouldn't notice anyway.
  3. Damn. I'd like to go, but I have to work. Glad to hear it's up and running.
  4. I've been searchig and searching, but nothing. Street Scene makes one that the side pieces are integrated with bed caps. Doesn't look too bad, but I really want an Intimidator wing.
  5. I wish they'd change that in Texas, to, because it SUCKS.
  6. I partially disagree with this. They did this to try to pull some business in, but they are making a better product than in the past, as I stated in my previous post. I've been in this business for 22 years mostly at the dealership level, so I have seen this first hand. Numbers don't lie. Before we bought our Tahoe back in 2003 my wife really liked the Lexus RX300. Till we drove one. It felt cheap, and I know it's not the top model, but I expected a little more. It felt much cheaper the the Tahoe. Also, when I worked aftermarket auto parts in the late 80s early 90s, we sold a ton of axle shafts, wheel hub bearings for imports. Hardly any for GM.
  7. I'm going to try to at least go to the kick off in Little Rock If we can swing it.
  8. That sucks. Bad. Sorry to see that.
  9. If you're gonna do it, do it right.
  10. I've said this before, many times, so I'll say it again. First, I don't care how many factories Toyota and Nissan build here, it is, was, and always will be, a Japanese company. It does not help our global economy, or standing, one bit. Besides, they are not built here, they are assembled here with Japanese parts built by Japanese workers. Not badmouthing Jap cars, because Lexus and Infinity make some of the finest cars in the world. Would I ever buy one? Probably not. Second, the quality and the level of customer service has drastically improved with domestic car companies in the last 20 years. Let me emphasize DRASTICALLY. The proof is in warranty repairs. The warranty repair rate had steadily dropped over the last 20 years, moreso over the last 10. Customer service is night and day. Alot of it depends on the dealer, and the factories are trying to get more of a handle on that. Who's to blame? The Japanese. They caught the American companies sleeping at the switch, and by the time we responded it was almost too late. Now we have families buying Toyota or Nissan because that's what their family drove. Just like years ago with Chevy, Ford, Buick, or whatever. People have to consider that these are mass produced mechanical objects tha do break and wear out. ALL OF THEM.
  11. Wow Brad. Sorry to hear of the problems, but you'll get it worked out.
  12. It only lists 2003-04, but call your local dealer to see if your VIN falls in there. No you do not. Whether you have the letter or not makes no difference. It's an extension of warranty coverage.
  13. Good job, dude. Let's hope the dealer will do the right thing on the front axle.

    I thought living in Texas I'd never use the heated seats. But, on those days that it's 20F in the morning a butt warmer feels pretty good.
  15. There was an Indoor Grand Prix in Dallas that a bunch of us went to a few years ago. Had a blast. You could rent the track for large groups/parties. There was like 8-10 of us, so we were able to run several heats.
  16. Different kind of dirty, my friend.
  17. I had a teal green 94 Chevy before my SS. Loved it. It all depends on the vehicle. The SS, arrival blue or charcoal gray. Teal would look good on a Vette.
