Got the tuner cable in yesterday, waiting for vince to send tune and software. also got spark plugs in. have everypart but radiator hose but i can get that at autozone or w/e. o and windshield resivor but i can drive w/o that for awhile. i was just sitting and thinking about installing the SC, i still have my extended warrenty for another 50k miles. i was going to install the sc this weekend but idk now. someone change my mind back. i got about 50,000 miles on the car now. the tranny makes a click when shifting into D and R. dont wanna add the SC on then the tranny break. also waiting for the power steering recall number to come in so i can take it in for them to reinstall that. any suggestions? the car breaking down and not having a warrenty can hurt me, i have a kid on the way and cant afford to replace tranny if it goes. tranny might be full healthy im just thinking bad thoughts right now.

i took it to the dealership and i sat in the drivers seat and a techinician came out to hear what the problem was. i had it in park, put it in D, big CLICK. not a lil one, this one is loud. put it in R, click. he said it was how its suppose to be. i might take it back and have them look at it again also check the fluid. i know our fluid doesnt need change but i read somewhere for GM if you drive in harsh conditions, change every 50,000 miles. im almost at 50,000 miles and i do major travling to pittsburgh and back going throw snow, rain, hills and long 6 hr drives straight through. i just did a florida trip, 11 hours straight with minor stopping and 16 hours coming back straight minor stopping.
i cant take it for the recall til i get a letter in the mail with a recall reference number for me. i called about it already.

so looks like im selling the kit. got the wifey to agree on letting me get a motorcycle. i rather have a car with warrenty and a motorcycle than voiding the warrenty that i paid 1000 for and still dreaming about a motorcycle.
putting some numbers together to see how much i wanna sell it for. looks like 1500. has all but water resivor, upper radaitor hose, and some misc hoses and wires for IC pump. other than that, i got everything even bolts and gaskets.
