Well just before I made my choice, I was ask to plow 4 commercial acounts under a 2 year contract.So I made a quick change and bought a New Silverado Ext Cab 4x4.At least this time I think, I bought a real GM.

another problem besides the weak drive train with the VGT, I cant be the only one the has trouble holding traction during lift.Should we strap sandbags to the hood?lol

03VibeGT6Spd

I know what your problem is, I would bet your shifting cable bushings are wore out. I forgot about those little devils!you can buy a brass replacement for them.I forgot when it use to get hot, they use to act up causing the shifter to bind up. not allowing you to hit your gears.You should be able to...

A quick question, since I blew the back out of my Girls transmission with 180hp.What kind of transmission mods are going to be done to keep are transmissions togethere, with all the added horse power.I'm very interested!

03VibeGT6Spd

It's a toyota engine and transmission.Yamaha tuned the engine.

The clutch fluid comes from the brakes master cylinder res.So that doesnt make to much sence to me.

AWD vs GT the price difference wasnt that much new.But I would rather have the GT over the AWD.When you hit Lift, It is so much fun.Even with the clutch issues. and the GT also has 200 watt stereo, where the AWD doesnt.What ever you do, you should get the paper work straight before you run into seri...

I use to work for a couple dealers, and those's letters are sent to customers with poor credit, past customers, and anyone they think they can get in the door.It's all about selling a car.And the thousand dollars isn't real, they just bump the price up to cover it.
