Anybody know of some good apartments or some cheap ones that are in a good area that we could do something short term until I get a job and back on our feet?

Damn my family moved down here from chicago also. Well there not many Tucson balts but me and my brother are in Tucson a lot. As for jobs can't help much since I live in sierra vista. What type of job u looking for?

Something in retail management. Right now i manage a cell phone store but we do not hAve l,locations in Arizona. I could do other types of management. I'm not opposed to switching fields. How far is Sierra Vista from Tucson? I might be.coming out there closer to June 1 to start the job hunting before the wife and kids come at the end of June.

So I talked to ZZP today... seems that Bates is the ones who built Ryan's auto in ZZP's record holding cobalt, not ZZP's company whom they use to build there transmissions... I don't know what to do at this point blah, I wish there was a reasonably priced cobalt that I could just switch everything over to.

I know thats your baby tyler but i think its time to move on its being too much of a pita. I think you should get an lnf if you want to stay with that platform but if not i would look into something else that you like. Youre gonna have issues with any car trying to go fast but some cars can take more of a beating than others and its time for you to get something with the reputation that can handle a bit more power without so much stress.

Depends on what you want. You want a car that still gets good gas mileage or does gas mileage not matter you want fwd, rwd, awd or you want something new newish or old? you want 4 doors for more ****** or what? lol you have a ton of options man i would look into like a 02 camaro SS the price on those arent bad or SS/TC. A evo may give you a few problems if you dont find a clean one and those are hard to come by without paying an arm and leg. Also the 04-06 CTS-Vs arent that pricey and can take a beating.

Cool. Yeah its tough trying to find a job cross country when you work retail lol. My mother in law and wife dont quite understand that. I have someone I can stay with for maximum a month to try and get out there ahead of the fam and find a job and an apartment before she comes. Appreciate you reaching out and showing an interest. 45 min drive aint bad, Is there more balts in the Sierra Vista area or mostly up by Phoenix?

Flush your fluid out with dexron 6. That's what the converter valve bixy ad solenoiDs are made for.the mobil for using says not for dexron 6 vehicles which explains your issues.

The bottle has to say Dexron 6.If it says dex/merc,thats only good up to dexron 5.Dexron 6 is a very very specific fluid for newer GM's and the transmission,if calling for Dex 6,will hate dexron 1 2 3 4 5.Explains why your burning the fluid up so quick as well.Flush it and fill with Dex 6 and your problems should go away.

Yeah... Those all cost money... that's where the problem lies lol.
I'd like something with decent gas mileage, but let's be realistic Fast > MPG's. lol
I don't care what platform to be honest. Looking into a S?TC right now, but again it's money I don't have... and I can't have a house and a car payment so that's not gonna work... Might just get it rebuilt again and go back to 91 oct and 8PSI just to make sure it don't blow up again at this point and wait like 5 years till I can afford something that won't suck.

Legitimately yeah... BBB has been told about it and they won't respond to them at all.

I don't have 1st 2nd or reverse at all... pretty sure it's a little late for this, although I appreciate the help...

Might be parting the car out here soon if anyone's interested in anything.
