GM needs to stop now. Pontiac doesn't need a truck, or a van. They need to concentrate the division on CARS, primarily sportier cars than the Chevy division gets. GM should have reality slapping them right now, more trucks are NOT what they need, they need more product that actually excites people.....

I've been on Verizon for about 5 yrs now, no real complaints; except on their data service-it utterly sucks. I'm not talking about a Crackberry or such, I'm talking about the USB data cards for laptops. VERY slow, and consistantly dropping out. If I went a week without using it, I had to call custom...

I switched from XM to Siruis, got a smaller radio, and moved it all the way down. Added a mount for the TT720 right about, works great there. I'll get a new pic later today, but here's the mount.

150 kg or 330 lbs. I weigh in at 349 right now. The warranty is void if you're over the limit, and it has some way of storing an over-limit weight, so I'm not touching it until i get under the 330 mark. *normally this is where I'd say I'm not fat just big-boned, but I'm tall too*

tnpartsguy

I got one, but my wifw will end up with it....I'm over the weight limit right now...

GM started dropping Accessoires for the Gen1 & 2 (2003~2008) Vibes last spring. I'd say that by this time next year, you won't be able to get a set of MATS for one from GM.

tnpartsguy

You will require additional antenna adapters with either unit. I can't recommend the GU-AUX12 unit anymore, the buzzing noise is driving me nuts.

You can get $1,000 over your GM Card bonus on ANY GM vehicle purchase (except Hybrids) right now. I just got my mailer on that. Vibe and G8 were both included.

they could have got a water pump from NAPA. In the warranty book it says they can use any supplier for parts that meets the GM standards.Not true! They MUST us a GM part, the ONLY way they can use an aftermarket part is if for some reason the GM part is on national backorder, and then the ASM (Area ...

I'm still here, I even have another Vibe again (another AWD, this time an '06) I'm still even on AIM and Yahoo as 'tnpartsguy'. Stick around...you could even come to Gatlinburg for the 1st national Vibe Event..... hang out, play a little pool, talk cars....it' would be fun!

tnpartsguy

What track is that??

Awww, Emmy, sorry about your Vibe, but glad to see you're OK, we'll miss you here. LTNS.... btw, you can STILL come around, we don't mind.

Don't drive on it if you can avoid it. An actual bubble means the tire's skin is damaged internally, and being where it is, it could blow out really easy.

tnpartsguy

I don't want a Hybrid. The promise of Hybrid ends up being LIES. We got a new Tahoe hybrid today. It gets a whopping 2 mpg more city than the same 2wd gas version, and similary equipped it's over $9k MORE. In fact, I daresay if they did the same things to ALL Tahoes, they would all get better mileag...

tnpartsguy

any 1zz from a Vibe (AWD, FWD) or a Matrix, or a Corolla with a 1zz will work. The 2zz from the GT won't work.The lower HP rating for the AWD is due to the routeing of the exhaust system.

I changed to a blend on my 1st oil change (1,500 miles) I changed to full syn on the next oil change (3,000 miles), and to Mobil 1 0W30 full Syn at my next oil change (5K miles).

Well, it's not just the online play..... take for example the VW one makes races. If you GET bumped, you get the penalty.

I waited patiently for GT5. I got it the day it came out, too... and I've tried to enjoy it....but...maybe Xbox live spoiled me. Forza 2 just kicks GT5's (removed).

88970397 if you have the Z05 option (I think it's the power package) $52.94 list88970394 without Z05. $37.06 list.I will do you the favor to steer you away from any of the online parts dealers. Find a local dealer you trust instead, become a loyal customer and reap the rewards of excellent service.

Parts Catalog shows both manual {5 speed and 6 speed} to be Toyota sourced units; As well as both the 4 speed and 5 speed automatics.

still odd to see an Automatic in a GT........

My PS3 is online (Cat5) My 360 is online (Cat5) and my Wii is online (wireless). GT5 prolouge is coming, finally..........but, I still feel a bit cheated here.....2 yrs late? and only about 1/3 of the promised game?BTW, my favorite download for PS3 so far has to be 'Pain'.

Safari for Windows. That's right, the Apple Browser.

tnpartsguy

Used motor? A lot of times they get some water on top when they are being stored or shipped, it gets down into the spark plug tubes and causes some rusty looking stuff. Did you use antiseize when you installed the plugs? And honestly, Bosch's don't work all that well in Toyotas. You need to get NGK ...

tnpartsguy

Wow, the Canada cars do have the RF type sensors..... 88974915 is the part #.Oh boy, the US cars for 2008 do too.. Same Part #. $169.54 each US.

tnpartsguy

Ok, when will GM learn?? Those flashy chrome plated horn badges will scar if the airbags deploy!! One of the guys at our dealership was driving a Buick Lurcerne and got into a wreck, the airbags deployed, and he has a lifelong reminder, a perfect Buick tri-shield logo burned into his forearm.

tnpartsguy

remove the plugs one at a time, and look for/smell them for coolant. You might have a leaky intake gasket or head gasket. I drove my Infiniti G20 for 2 yrs with the head gasket seeping into the #2 cylinder.

tnpartsguy

Stay far, far away from Bosch Plugs! They are great for VW's Audi's, ect that were designed to use them, but in most GM, Toyota, Nissan products they tend to weld themselves into th head, even if you use anti-seize when installing them.....btw, you DO all know to use anti-seize every time you remove...

tnpartsguy

The Vibe still has the old system, not valve sensors. It's just a pita to reset.http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=31416Opps, I was WRONG, the '08's do have the RF System. See my later post in this thread.

It's a little smaller. Being built in Spring Hill TN at the former Saturn Plant.

you can get an entire door shell, but you'd still have to order every single item that goes into it seperately..... I'd estimate $2,500 in parts, and probably $1,800 in labor to build it, paint it, mount it ect. Most times an entire door has to be replaced, they like to use salvage yard doors, they ...

Since I had an '03 the 1st time around Vibeville, I figured I wanted the taller console too. Got a new one from the Toyota dealer, and installed it today. I think I like the shorter (thinner) one better.........I might be willing to sell the new one.

tnpartsguy

I have both, XM and Sirrus, and I'll be glad once the merger is over and done! I loved XM, but Sirrus has better stations now by far. Meall, which radio do you have? Single CD, or Multi-disc?

tnpartsguy

better than a Dodge neon. Power Windows front, crank windows rear, and NO options for power rears. I wanna say the PT was like that for a while too.

tnpartsguy

Sorry to ruin it for you Waver, but the 2nd pic is NOT an Aztec. It's either an Isuzu Vehi-cross, or a Mitsubishi Outlander. Most are very similarly ugly. It might even be a prototype of a future version or either.

tnpartsguy

I've posted it before, but I'll repeat it here, again. GMPD is not a very good source due to extremly high shipping fees, and the fact you cannot return ANYTHING. That said, there are better deals, but the best one might be at your local dealership. Ask for a discount, the worst thing that will happ...
