LG had two of them for sale last year with upgraded parts and different ratios for 25k ea.

well since they already get 30mpg i don't see why not. i was thinking more along the lines of not needing starters anymore like the C6Z race cars before they changed classes and had to take the direction injection off the car.

looking forward to direct injection.

paul is at your house, you should be worried.

good job talking about it, now we won't get any. dick.

also look into chump car, way better than lemons because of all the BS you have to do for lemons.

i want to drive when you find a car. i did the 24 at nelson and have been wanting to go run some more.

your going to hell for posting unfunny stuff.

and can seriously hurt you if your not careful since its spring loaded.

kinkey......

no i will handle all shipping.

i've seen that happen on a cylinder with a burnt exhaust valve so don't let that be a conclusive test. a cylinder leak down test should be done to confirm.

its not hard if you know what your doing.

i think they all have their problems. after working on cars as long as i have i will never own anything but a GM product.

hello good sir, i agree to your asking price on your vehicle and would like to buy it. i can pick it up any time this week if you are willing to take payments. thank you.

but what if its not a ring problem? like a blown head gasket with bad valve stem seals? or a warn cam lobe and valve stem seals? or a burnt exhaust valve with bad valve stem seals?

you never had to change oil just the filter every few months lol.

i don't know about all that. funny story about ford though. we had one come into the shop slipping. it was a '01 diesel and we called to get a reman ford transmission because i for sure wasn't going to try and rebuild it. they wanted the serial number of the side of the transmission because their computer showed 32 transmissions that could fit that truck. needless to say the serial number was missing so we sent it to ford to let them figure it out lol.

hours to rebuild were close to double in most cases the time it paid to replace so thats just smart math. warranty wise you had to do a cost comparison if you wanted to replace and if you did too many replacements they would audit and could charge back to the dealer. if you have 100k on a transmission and its never been serviced i had seen them start to slip after a flush was done. there is friction modifiers in transmission fluid that break down with age and when you replace them with new fluid worn parts can wear faster because of them. its a bad analogy but it would be like you taking sand and using it to the point it becomes powder and then replacing it with fresh sand. bad things are going to happen when you do that. if the customer came in and wanted a flush and it had over 70k with no history of being done before we would explain to them the risk and ask them if they are having any issues then let them make the call. depending on the condition of the car sometimes i would drive them sometimes not. if it was some junk beater i would for sure drive it because chances are they have a transmission issue and hope you flush it so you have to replace the transmission for free because "it wasn't slipping before you fixed it" if it was a well maintained car then no i never drove them. O/T i did get us audited once because of cost to replace. there is a member on here that has his new Z06 drop a valve and the warranty total was just under 19k. that threw red flags at GM and they sent in a few people to look at the paper work lol.

i didn't say it was a sure thing. i'm pretty sure since i've rebuilt hundreds of transmissions at the dealer i would have a good idea what i'm talking about. i have seen it go both ways, some had no problems, some came back after a few months and i've seen a few that didn't make it out of the parking lot. the ones that didn't make it out the parking lot were slipping when they brought them in and since they know better than me had us flush it because "that would fix it":lolguy:

how many miles are on the transmission? if your over 90k on it i wouldn't touch anything because your just asking for trouble. i have rebuilt a few that just had the fluid changed and then the transmission started slipping.
