Fast06 Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I bought my 06 VHO late October at South Anchorage Chevrolet. They were trying to get rid of them; I managed to buy it for 30K, when the sticker was at 41K. It had 55 miles when I bought it and just under 28K now.

Lefty Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 you guys see this Green Silverado with SS badges, I can't tell if it's real or not, didnt get a chance to really check it out, but he did a little fly by at me like he wanted to race. just wanted to know if it was a real SS or a knock off. have any of you guys had any tranny work done yet? i'm trying to find a decent shop. I want to get a shift kit, TC and some servos installed and maybe a rebuild if my tranny needs it. I was thinking of taking it to that place next to costco on dimond, they seem pretty good. That green "SS" is a fake. Was it the one with the light bar, brush bumper, and the plate "SS4Less"? He is an easy take. Have you seen the NBS VMAX in our 'hood...Tan colored with the add on "SS 4X4" stickers on the back corner? He tries goosin' me every morning. I just laugh and shake my head at him. B&B near costco does pretty good work. Their Sr. guy is a GM Master mech., so I am sure he has some experience with GM's. They aren't very cost concious though.

Lefty Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 should i look into other shops? any you can recommend? also, who did the drop on your truck? i really want to lower mine now Honestly, I would go with B&B over any others in Anchorage. Their reputation is strong and I have heard nothing but good things about them. Jim's Muffler did my drop. I don't think they are in business anymore though. Their shop was off Commercial Blvd. right behind Big O. I did the research on this forum and bought all the parts myself (all Belltech), brought them over to them and they installed and aligned. I have been using Big O for small stuff lately. Their guys are good & quick. I always get treated good there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took my truck over there to get my exhaust done by him; he did a great job like always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
