First off a little history:
Had an 03 TB EXT that i purchased new in 03.
not many mods. res delete, S.S. gauges, Quad headlites.
all figured out on my own, since i did not find TV until after i had my 09.
01/09:
09 TB LT3, 4x4 w/ G80 & towing package, w/ 425 mi.
first added the "bra" from my 03, vinyl rapped front bowtie, and res. delete

02/09:
w/ under 950 mi on her, torque converter went out,
waited 27 days for a new one. Loaner was an 07 TB LS
The day i got it back, took it home and installed the K&N CAI that had been sitting around for 2 weeks.
Took it out for a test drive on the tollway, and the TRANNY GAVE OUT
Had it towed back to the dealer, and got the 07 TB that i had been driving for the last month.
I had bought my last 7 cars from this dealer, so they were more than eager to make it right.
They found a twin to mine(exact same everthing) and offered to take mine back and give me the new one.
I thought about it, until i found out it was built on same assy. line 2 day earlier.
Since i already had done the res delete and installed the K&N, and who's to say that the TC and Trans would not do the same thing,
i had them rebiuld the trans w/ new and better parts. (the ones that should have been in there)
To compensate me for my trouble, the dealer reimbursed me for a payment i made while it was sitting and waiting for a TC.
They also gave me Major Guard w/ $0 deduct, which is good till 1/14 or 72,000 miles, at N/C.
They also gave me a deal on my GM accessory chrome steps. (below cost)
