Dylan06SS Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 You'd think they'd just realize that this reman tranny is costing them more in labor than a brand new one would have cost in the first place. Every hour this tranny tech spends pulling this reman'd peice of junk out of your truck and putting back in is more money out of thier pockets... so why not just PUT IN A NEW TRANS?!?! Really sorry to hear about #3 Jon... I thought for sure they'd have it fixed by now... as always you can come visit my truck if it'll make you feel better... you just aren't allowed to drive it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually afraid to drive the truck now not knowing when or where I may get stranded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually afraid to drive the truck now not knowing when or where I may get stranded. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Unless you have plans for fairly serious power, you really don't have a need for a 80e, IMO. Maybe you would feel better with one, but not sure you would need. Making a 65E much more stout will cost you way less than pulling it out and putting a 80 in. An 80 is going to suck a lot of power. So to make it worthwhile, your power level should be up there quite substantially over stock power levels in order to recoupe what you're going to loose to the ground. Just my opinion.

Jonmalibuss Posted May 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 I have plans for around 850-900hp twin turbo 408. I belive that would make the 80e a worth while swap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 you certainly work at the right place to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonmalibuss Posted May 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Well it looks like I have been denied trying to get GM to take the truck back unless I try arbitration. I may endup trying to sell it anyone want a Victory red 04 SS for $32,000? I'd trade it in on a VHO but i'll probably lose my a$$ trying to trade it in.

detjoe Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 get legal advise. No one should have a new truck with that poor of service. I love my SSS but GM does not seem to take care of such a strong loyal group of buyiers...who do they think is going to buy the SSlineups???

Jonmalibuss Posted May 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Well I just got back from the dealership earlier today and they are offering me 28,500 for my truck I owe just under $32,000. We priced out a fully loaded VHO and turned out with my truck traded in and $2000 down my payments will be less than I am paying right now on the SS. Even though I am still going to endup upside down in the deal I feel it is a pretty fair deal, so now I just need to come up with the money to put down.

zippy Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 sounds like it's not a bad deal. you aren't going to be happy with the truck you have now it seems so starting over may just do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
