How much for the rear axle beam shipped to Dexter MO?

jsimon63

Thats great Earl! I'm glad to provide any "better mouse trap" I can. I think there were 2 screws, one accessable thru glove box and the other thru radio hole.. been a while since I did that repair. Either way.. end results were a bunch of cash saved.. a broken part now works.. and you are ...

jsimon63

These are great!!! I almost wet myself!

jsimon63

Wow! Thats incrediable!! Looking at the total lenght of the toads... it's about 4-5 ft longer then your GMC coach... you almost had to have a CDL to drive that rig! Glad the trip went well and you and the Mrs's arrived home safe! You're a brave man Charlie Brown!

jsimon63

I know some folks don't think it can be done without removing the whole dash but it can...by removing the radio and the glove box.. there is a post on here about it with pictures too.http://forums.genvibe.com/zero...69899Just copy and paste this link above.

The closing of a chapter..... GM, after the Lemon law lawyer said "thats the best offer..." they gave us a check for $5500 and called it a day... got rid of the car....I'm Vibeless

jsimon63

Just remember to floss and brush at least twice a day and your teeth should be just fine!! Glad we could help!! Oh yeah.. send check or cash to.....

jsimon63

rasermon Really glad you are on the mend. I've been there and done that and you are right.. don't wish a neck/back injury on any one! Well Vibe or no Vibe, your welcome tojump in anytime. I don't personally know you but from what I am seeing, you are an ok dude! Glad your ok!

jsimon63

*Bump* It's been a few months... surely there are some new bumps and bruises out there.

jsimon63

I knew there was a whole thread about this with part numbers and more great pictures. Let me know if this link doesn't work.Generation Vibe Discussion Forums: Recirculate door motor stripped

jsimon63

I described how I did it above. No tricks, just hand placement and patients. Like I said... I had neck surgery not long before I did mine.. I have large hands too... The part number should be posted. I got it off the Genvibe forums and I thought I posted again. Don't buy from the dealer and if you a...

jsimon63

Bump! Any new stuff after a wonderful winter?

jsimon63

Now, I know that this post is as old as the hills... but I was looking for tire pressure monitor info and found this post. I would like to say, some of you have the tire pressue thing just about figured out but would like to make something clear that if misunderstood can be dangerous. The tire press...

jsimon63

Surprisingly, the hood didn't have a mark on it! Heck.. the rear door only had a scuff in the paint! Thanks! I'm glad to be mostly intact myself! Having a bit of trouble with my left leg and foot, but alive! Joatmon, where did you find all that carnage??

jsimon63

Ouch and Ouch! I am guessing... they both survived (Nascar & Mac)?

jsimon63

Quote, originally posted by ou.grizzly Â»Didn't think the cause was the tires on that one? Nope.... the one tire that you can see looks like a good water shedding design. I have hydroplaned in my 8,000lb diesel dodge, with almost new tires.

jsimon63

It's not a bad thing to not have a picture of your wrecked Vibe.... Glad you were awake, glad you are still with us!

jsimon63

Wow! So glad they were not seriously hurt!!

jsimon63

Great job finding the story behind the 09 and the fence. I hate bugs!

jsimon63

Not only a fence, but if ya look close... there are those metal mailboxes laying in front of the car... they are heavy! Is the owner out there?? Hello?? Can the owner of a Red 09 Vibe please come to the lounge.....The yellow zone is for.... oh, sorry got carried away!

jsimon63

Here is the wife's 06 after a tire came off a car going up the road, traveled across my yard (132ft) and hit the drivers door, 2K worth of damage!

jsimon63

I have to admit... these Vibes are pretty tough! At least as far as the structural integraty of the passenger compartment goes. Not only would I own another... I do! I may replace my 04 when money is a bit better and might go the Supercharged 5 speed route this time.

jsimon63

Compared to the white Vibe..... mine is just a small scuff in the door!! Yeah winter will be here soon! I love the winter weather... call me a sick puppy, but I love to drive in the snow, always have. Yes, must stay positive! There are so many people that are worse off then me. I try to think of any...

jsimon63

I was very lucky to not be killed. The guy ran a red light and t-bone me going 60mph! I am being treated for the whiplash and am having trouble with my left leg and foot. But I get to wake up every morning and that I am very thankful for!

jsimon63

Glad to still be here!!

jsimon63

Anyone have pictures of the Dearly departed Vibes, Or ones that survived the carnage? I'll start with this lovely photo of my 04 Supercharged Vibe that left this world on Sept 4 08 Thank God I didn't go with it!

jsimon63

My door is making a bit of noise now too!

jsimon63

I have heard that more then once...... I say leave well enough alone if it's not a problem. I'm just wondering if they will still do my warranty work?!Can't seem to get a picture to post.... I'll figure it out! If anyone wants to offer help...jsimon63@aol.com Thanks!

jsimon63

Did you get a letter telling you of the recall? If so, I think I would try a different dealer! What year is your Vibe? I'm thinking the recall was on 03 and 04 Vibes only. Seems to be the same issue with later model years too, Maybe they are next to get the recall. Good luck!

jsimon63

OUCH! I think I spent $48 bucks and a coupld hours of my time. But thats ok. Glad ya got it fixed.

jsimon63

I suppose the air pressure a fan can cause could stress the motor a bit... food for thought.

jsimon63

Well, I'll be darned, you are new here!! WELCOME! (from another older guy!) I don't know what the housing is made of but I to, didn't have much luck with the clips, but realy wasn't careful because it was broken! More then likely, they made them this way so you have to buy new parts. Ah the good ole...

jsimon63

Glad the thru the radio hole worked for ya! And your idea to turn gear 180 degrees is great. I can't believe I didn't think of that. But, not knowing what was wrong before I took it out, I just bought a new one. So.... If you are reading this post for ideas of what is wrong with yours, and you have ...

Dan, who knows a real celebrity, Be sure to keep us posted on your gas mileage on your trip across the country. You could almost post in real time what you are getting and in what kind of weather and road conditions. If you are bringing the coach home, remember, you can't post the numbers while the ...

jsimon63

Well, I guess I need to explain the post by Dan. Hahaha! I got a call this morning from our local news Channel 8 Wish-TV in INDY. It seems that they wanted to find some information on scan gauages and other goodies sold to help your mileage. They did a search and came up with our very own Genvibe! S...

Well, I just got back from 1300 mile round trip To pa and back to Indiana. Running 70+ miles an hour. no hypermiling and i got a best of 35.9 MPG... In Supercharged excitment! I drove it normal.

Thanks! I had already checked out what they have too. Even some rims for my Metro!

jsimon63

So, where can I buy Rota wheels in or around the Indy area?

jsimon63

I got my recall a week and a half ago. Looking for the repair bill to fix my "rattle" at a body shop. They should reimburse my expenses I guess I will see how that works out!

jsimon63

When I was checking into replacement tires, I found that same issue. The tripple treads do not get the gas mileage, but are suppose to be a fantastic all season tire. I tried Michelin X-Ice on the Metro and my mileage did not change and I was highly impressed with the traction! That Metro was a tank...

jsimon63

Thats great!! Glad I could help.... now about that favor you owe me.... hahahahaha! Any one think this method is worth a Sticky?

On the GPS, have you ever tried to see if the MPH were accurate? Good way to be sure your speedo is right and you are getting the mileage you think you are! My sister has a GPS program on her laptop. I don't think they use it since she lost most or her sight and she doesn't go out in the rig with th...
