boy where do i start...
im sure everyone knows the story.. spun a bearing about 2 months ago now, and she was sitting at the dealership ever since... it was a waiting game on GM to send out the new motor.. but shes all put back together, and i drove her home yesturday... shes very different to say the least... but as expected, there are a lot of little things, that since im on full tilt looking for things wrong, im noticing...
first, my headlights and fogs didnt work (they didnt hook up my HID's), my amps didnt work (they blew my inline fuse), i found green antifreeze all over the engine compartment (we all know our trucks take Dex Cool), my gas filler neck looked to be hooked back up wrong, and the spring loaded little cirle thing on the where you insert the gas nozzle into is now missing, and i think the filler neck is not centered properly, my front bumper is completely off center, my rear bumper is scratched, my passanger side rear door is scratched from them washing it (clear coat scratch from the handle brush they use to clean cars and can be buffed out), the piece where my hood latch attachesd too looks to be off a little bit, there is excess oil left over in spots (they just didnt clean up after they were done).. i could just tell the guy was ready to get it out of his booth... understandable, but still.... on top of all of that.. for the first time owning her, i let the gas light come on, and it took $89 to fill her up OUCH!!!
onto the pix!!
the didnt hook up my HID's
gas filler neck and center closing piece missing and not centered..
green antifreeze
oil on trans pan (i had them do a pan drop, filter change, and refill
front bumper off center...
hood latch
these are just a lot of little things that as i said, since im on tilt and looking for anything everything, that im noticing.. nothing to dramatic, but just a little nerve racking.. but the drivibility is awesome... the motor is strong.. makes some new noises that im not used to hearring.. the vale train on this motor is louder then on my old one.. there is a different cam that i can hear loping in my exhuast note, and the sort of rythem sound coming ffrom the front end... but overall, im very happy, and glad to have her back.. i was working on her all day yesturday.. and now im just driving her to get the break in miles racked up...
