Yep, but she doesn't have any tapping, so don't think it's a lifter issue.

Unlike my dad and I, my sister and her hubby usually take their vehicles to the dealer for service. I offered to start doing her oil changes since I knew it would be done right. The PP that I put in it at 57k was the first time a full syn was run. Prior to that, they had simply taken it to...

I didn't see any leaks and the gasket on the drain plug looked okay.

Changed the oil in sister's '07 Tahoe LTZ 5.3 in May with 6 quarts of Penn Plat and a Delco PF48 filter. She calls me the other day and told me the OLM read 27%, but that the add oil message just came on. I checked it and sure enough she was down about two quarts. She had 6k on that OCI. I...

I noticed on my '10 Civic that if the vehicle sits in the sun on warmer/hotter days for a few hours, when I start it, it seems to shutter a bit. Why is this?

May very well be a dumb question, but why do they still put mast antennas on trucks and most cars have the window embedded antennas? Just curious...

Okay, thanks for the input fellas. SunGard is decent film??? The guy said it was fully warranted like the Llumar and F1. Glad to know that $175 OTD is a good price; this was his initial quote as the film on the wall was marked at $205+tax. I didn't want to be cheap and low ball him, so...

Hey all! So, on my Silverado, I had Formula 1 one film at 15%. I wasn't really all that pleased with the place I took it too, so I found another shop as I wanna tint my Civic now. I'm familiar with brands like 3M, F1, and Llumar, but this place quoted me a special on SunGard for all...

$3.17 for 87

34.8 mph on my new civic! The hoe gets about 14 mpg with the 5.3 and the astro gets about 17 mpg. mostly city driving with the two chevs but a 50/50 mix for me.

OMG it feels awesome! I literally cut my fuel costs in half!

Was thinking about an exhaust tip big enough yo fit my head. Haha... Was thinking about an exhaust tip big enough to fit my head. My goal is to make it sound like a sewing machine. Haha... Truck got totaled. Loved it and was ready to replace it with an '10, but thought about going frugal...

Tint = yes. Prolly go 10% all the way around minus the windshield. Black wheels = no. I like the stockers the way they are. Got 34 mpg on trial run. Topped off from dealer beforehand and refilled at same pump.

Yeah, it's called Urban Grey Metallic. I'll take some pix in the sun. The other color is called Polished Metal Metallic and in the overcast it looks very similar.

Love the tach and speedo positioning!

Alrighty, finally got 'em up for ya'll. So far, it's a great little car! IMO, sporty looking as well as economical, which was the right move for me right now. Love my trucks, but this is really gonna' help my wallet for the next few years.

Here's a generic to tide ya' over until I get my camera later today.

Took a bunch of pix, but left my camera at my parents' house. Will pick it up later today and then post up. I'll also post up some pictures of the Tahoe and Astro van. I bought the Urban Grey Metallic, which is a new color for 2010. It looks sweet!

Thanks all!! I'm graduating today, but I'm going to take some pix and I'll post up in a bit.

I took a bunch of pix on my cell cam, but I'm gonna snap a few on my Nikon tomorrow, and I'll get 'em up.

Yeah, the Gap saved my life!! My credit is still 700+, but it dropped from what used to be about 800 before I racked up some cc debt and student loans (working on paying that shit off now). But, because I had such excellent credit and the fact that my CU would roll 140% LTV loans all day long...

Okay boys (and girls), well after having a deal structured and ready to go on a 2010 Taupe Grey Silvi ext cab 2wd with the 5.3L and 20's, I decided to make a dramatic shift. First, I just wanna say that I thank all of you for your input on the other thread - it was much appreciated! Anyways...

Starting a new thread with updates...

Thanks for the replies fellas! Most likely gonna get another GM. Hell, the damn thing took the impact like a champ and kept me alive, so I kinda' owe it to myself to get another one, eh? Hehehe... The damage really looked worse than the pix I snapped at night.

Below is the link to the thread that has a few pictures of my truck after the accident a week ago. Got a FedEx package today and although I don't have the itemized estimate yet, the total cost of repairs came to a whopping.... $18,826!! The ACV of the truck is $20,323. Just thought I'd post...
