  1. After owning the SSS, I'm tired of plastic bumpers. I want steel bumpers on my truck. I can forgive it on the SSS, but on a truck that's going to go out and work,?
  2. I predict un-molested ones will be hard to come by someday. They are arguably going to be the last of the mohicans. It doesn't look like GM is going to do another SS pickup again. I think the trucks have potential. If nothing else, they're highly optioned good looking trucks. You can't say enough for resale red at Barrett Jackson, by the way. Maybe not today, but someday.
  3. Same story here. Three trips and another sunroof assembly later, they got it better. It's still not perfect. If you could make them out of aluminum, on CNC you'll sell tons of them. It's my understanding the whole assembly has to be replaced because those arms are not sold by themselves. It's a stupid design and is indicative of why GM is where they are.
  4. I really like these under hood carbon fiber parts. If someone would just make an engine cover to go with everthing, I'd buy it all. I'm not the only one who feels this way, am I? In this application it works because you have the blower. In mine, I'd have these nice covers and, then that crappy looking OEM piece on the engine. I know tooling costs, but....
  5. Yeah, I'm getting to be a Griot's snob too. I am still loyal to Mother's Pure Carnuba. I swear it makes the truck go faster. Griot's Clay Bar and Speed Shine is way better than Mother's though. I did wax "her" Corvette with the Griot's Best of Show. We'll see. Her car is white, so it's never as striking as the red truck. The Griot's wash bucket is the bomb though.
  6. Great looking Pup. Frankly I think Black Labs are the best colored version of perhaps the most versatile dog ever. I have two of them. They're good for one laugh a day each. The hip problems are mostly avoidable. Restrict running for the first year and a half and never on concrete or pavement. Also try to keep the dog off glossy floors durring the same period of time. If they can't get/maintain traction that'll cause problems too. Area rugs will usually solve this problem. It goes without saying, you're getting a high energy Pup, I can't say enough for taking them swiming. It wears them out, they love it and, it's low impact which is great for avoiding hip problems.
  7. I have 4k miles and five months of warranty left, I took my truck in last week for just this problem. I also had paint peeling off my cladding. I am told the cladding is taped on, but it's also bolted on too.
  8. Sorry for the delay, I've been bigtime busy lately. The car cover did arrive in a timely manner. The truck needed a good bath before I was going to test fit it. I ended up taking the truck in for warranty work, which is now completed, so hopefully by this weekend I'll have something other than lame excuses.
  9. I learned a lot about car covers in the process. Noah is a material made by the Kimberly Clarke Company. A few vendors make covers out of the stuff. I guess the difference is in how they're cut and sewn together. Anyhow, stay tuned...
  10. I recently accquired a more fuel efficient vehicle (a 1986 Corvette) and plan to use the SSS a lot less until gas prices come down. I have a four car carport, and plan to store the SSS under there for now. I wanted a cover over to keep the dust to a minimum. I decided on getting a Wolf Noah cover because this is what I got for the better half's 77 Covette. In shopping them I found $300 to be about the best price until I found www.coversolutions.com. They had the same cover for $169. I thought this was a pretty darn good deal and I wanted to put it out there. I'll advise further when it arrives.
  11. 86 K-5 Blazer Silverado 305 H.O. engine -Black with a maroon interior. Gosh I miss that truck... Had a lot of fun with it in high screwl.....
  12. Flowmasters? Cheap cheap cheap....
  13. Oil will continue to rise until the consumers revolt and reduce the amount of fuel they're buying. If you really want it to send a noticable message don't go on vacation this summer. If you do go, take a train, they're amazingly fuel efficient. It's no accident refineries go out for maintenance in the summer. They know you're going be driving or flying somewhere and it's going to require some fuel burn. If we're all such car enthusiasts, we should cancel shows to discourage driving. Think of it as a protest. I took my 6.2 diesel Blazer out of mothballs to run this summer. It gets 20 mpg. The SSS will go out strictly on Sundays and not too far.
  14. I'll see your Fordor and raise you a Tudor....
  15. I can see wanting to tweak an SSS. It's got some objectionable things like an opressive speed limiter. I cannot understand why you'd want to tweak a Z06. Isn't it fast enough? Wasn't that the whole idea behind buying a Z06?
