You're welcome. It just seemed odd that you took a shot at the previous owner then posted a picture in which you had painted plastidip all over your tires.

To be honest it didn't cost me a thing. Car has 66k on it and was still under Powertrain warranty. My buddy at the dealer I used to work with gave me the parts and I did the work. Sounds like one hell of a deal if you ask me. I get the work done how I want and he gets paid to just order and give me the parts.

380 is acceptable I would say. Did you replace the HP Tube that goes between the pump and the fuel rail? Anytime that is removed it is supposed to be replaced. The new pipe is supposed to be lubricated with silicone free lubricant (motor oil) before installing as well per GM repair documents.

Out of curiosity what year is your car? feeling like it should have still been under warranty unless it was an 08 maybe? If you want you can PM me the last 8 of the VIN and I can email you the vehicle warranty history Docs and RPO Vehicle build info in PDF format for you to reference.

Does your car run cooler using this? I thought about using one of these on mine.

Dunno yet, had to interrupt the install because it got dark ;-)
The previous one that just broke (OEM replacement from O'Reilly) was running hotter then stock, probably because it had a heat exchanger in it. This one looks slightly beefier than stock. Time will tell
Main reason I got it is the all aluminum end tanks. That's what broke on the previous two, in the exact same spot too!

Right I have seen a lot of the plastic tanks leaking. I can see good reasons for them and bad. main good reason is its a weak link in case something is wrong. I would rather replace something like that than a head gasket.

I was really just curious. It seems like it would run cooler and the company does make those claims. For the extra money seems like it would be worth it if the car runs cooler. Mine gets up to 205 to 210 in traffic and hot days which is normal but would like to keep it at 190 to 199. since the head and block are aluminum its too close to the limits for me.

Touché. The neglect hint was all about the rust on the calipers and rotors - and the fact that I've dumped all of my modding money into just getting it running right.

Sure did. I get angry every now and then (all of the time) and post it up. Every time I start to enjoy driving it again - new problems arise. Like today

(I know, Red Sox, I still haven't gotten the plasti dip off the tire. It doesn't come off as easily as I thought it would.)

Then, got towed home:

And about plasti dip - put more coats on, let them cure (melt with the first few coats) and it will remove A LOT easier.

Haha, yea man. I saw you sitting at the stop light. I loaded the rims up with six coats, but the overspray on the tires is a lot thinner.

As for what happened - I'm not sure yet. :/

Finally finished connecting the switches to my led's yesterday afternoon. After using speaker wire and constantly having them break from the connectors, I decided to find something else a little bit stronger. All we had around the house was old christmas lights so I pulled the good wires off of them and used it. Surprisingly they were really strong and work perfect, A hell of a lot better than the damn speaker wire.
