i get a lot of pulsing when accelerating. just feels like an uneven tune, but you cant get much when it hasnt been dyno or wb tuned.
yes, its annoying and ive been through more mufflers than probly anyone here. lol. after this many miles, you have no choice but to get used to it. lol

basic things like what? i rotate my tires every 5000. ive been changing the oil like normal.
only parts ive replaced are.... shocks, struts, LCA bushings, and all engine and trany Mounts, ic pump, and gm stage 2 belt. THATS IT.... not bad huh?
my biggest problem is i have never had a good tune since ive moded it. im getting 30-32 mpg when temp is below 55... and 38-40 when temp is above 60-65. its really weird. car runs beautiful when its in the higher temp range. could this be because it's not tuned with a wideband? (i need one)

183,000. Nearly rolled car today. Wasnt paying attention n went of shoulder little bit at 80mph. I overcompisated and it slid back across highway, into ditch and out onto access rd. I thought i was gonna roll. Didnt. Only lost my inner fender well and the front bumper skirt. Very lucky. Very impressed with handling and reaction the car did. This was closest ive ever been to getting in an accident!

Nice. Timin chain from what i have seen will last past 200k but i would replace due to streching. and the water pump and alt are the only 2 others i can think of.
With that many miles. get a sponser. ZZP Or OTTP to tune your car, and parts with the mileage you do you are prime advertising realstate.

I think the kbb is around 5k.....lol. i still owe 8k on original 6 yr loan. Ill easily pass 200 k before its paid off. I hope gm steps n to show support for this car more than a free $100 voucher for a oil n filter service...which is wat they gave me.
