Yes, brand new with 8/10 miles on the clock. I can go out and get a picture of the odometer it you like. The gasket was changed, but not the manifold itself. Nor has it ever has a starter, alterantor, water pump,etc. (normal wear and tear items)changed. It has had one front wheel bearing changed, the whole air ride system had to be repalced, and front struts, and of course brakes I think 4 times, maybe 5.(My wife is a home health nurse), and its on the second battery that I put in for a total of 3.HAs had the GM 100,00 mile service twice. Cruise control replaced once, and one of the AC hoses popped. It does have it problems though, dash lights are out, steering wheel controls dont work for the radio, pass. side seat wont go foward, and rear seat has somewhat buckled in the middle. A few minor oil leaks have occured over the years, and each was fixed as soon as I knew about it. This has been an outstanding car for us, and I will add the only one that I have not had major problems with at some point. Now having said that, it will blow up Monday.....

I wont debate coolants with you. It has long been a losing battle for me. I will say that I use to make the chemical additives for MANY coolant manufacturers, and Texaco was one of them, who makes the DexCool for GM, or did. I will agree there are better coolants, but DexCool is fine in somethings, not in others, and GM engines are one of those. (BTW, DexCool is whats in my wifes car now, but it may be the Prestone version, which is somewhat milder)

I wont comment on the person you work for but I will say thats pretty irresponsible of him. I do know that the mech at my dealership who works on my vehicles goes t oclass about once every 4 months or so, and hes the only one Ill let touch any of my rides, warranty or not. So whats he going for, any idea?

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: The Saga of Grandpa's Tractor - by The following saga is from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. Someone. The saga starts with the following message: Hey guys I have a decision to make. I know what you all will probably suggest and it will probably agree with me way down inside, but here it is. I have a picture blown up and framed in my "tractor room" of a Farmall M. It was my Grandpa's tractor, of which whom I never got to meet. He froze to death getting this tractor out of the barn to pull a truck out of the ditch before I was born. Anyway my dad and aunt had to sell it at the auction, ... [Read Article]
