At least they have a durable coating on them, as they salt the hell out of the roads here. Some of the large part distributors such as Jegs and Summit Racing sell stock parts at a good discount. It helps alot if you have part numbers though, as the stock parts can be a bitch to search online with out them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will notice a big power gain with 6.5. Damage_inc- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

However since you are in the market why not call up GM and demand a new one!!! WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OWN THEM RIGHT? Those skanky rat pig knuckle stink pickle bastards took our money. They can all rot in donkey crap for all I care. Ford is the only company that did not accept any funds. And they are posting profits galore. But I normally don't have any opinions on such things. If it is a good running vehicle that passes muster from a second opinion mechanic then go for it. My brother had one and it ran for years...and believe me he ran it in the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
