Well, his myspace says he's in Utah, and I'm pretty sure they measure in miles there...plus in his post, he says his oil changes are every 2000 ~miles~, so I think it's safe to say, that's in miles. To which I say, Kudos! I hope I get there too! I'm at 134,000 now, not even halfway there. |
Wow. I didn't even see that he mentioned miles, :lol:.

actually, i treat my car very well.... don't want anything to go on it real soon becuz i don't have the money to fix it. preventive maintence goes far... |

any idea how much a rebuilt trans would run me? i had the place that changed the trans oil qoute it and they wanted about $2000 which is alot for me. darn, i hope it holds out for awhile...it was shifting funny today but it does that every so often.. |
Probably won't find one rebuilt for much less than that. There's always the salvage option though....just try to find one with low miles, and save more if you can pull it yourself.

yeah thats in miles, well add another 2000 miles to it. lol, but yeah its been treated very good! and about the lifter noises, its still solid quiet (whatevr that means) but makes sense! lol. i think i've been bragging too much about my car its starting to choke! but i think its just my cat that needs to be replaced. |

:haha: LOL! yeah thanks, i do use the SLICK 50 engine treatment at every other other oil change, so it could be that helping my old car run good! u should try that if you haven't already. |
yep. i did a slick 50 treatment. we do in all of our vehicles. plus, the synthedic helps too
|
and... does anybody know why the site changes stuff to say "dink" at the end? like my last post.
|
it changes d*i*c*k, minus the *'s. You must have tried to spell it synthed*i*c*k (minus the *'s again).
|
id recommend getting that needle bearing checked out...that could be your only problem with the tranny
|
Quote:
that would require a complete teardown of the trans....at which point it would be stupid to not replace the clutches and seals (total rebuild) |
i'm thinking of selling mine anyway ( i don't care for the 4 door) and trying to find a newer, lower mileage 2 door. does anybody know if they made the 2 doors with the 3400 engine? i prefer the 6 cylindar over the 4 cylindars.
|
yes, they made the 2 doors w/6's. i just so happen to have one...

same here...love it ;) |

yup, that's exactly what i had... they're pretty nice... try and get one with a sunroof since they resale for the exact same amount |

which is what I have, and love. and for good measure, get the LIMG done right away BEFORE you have a problem. I'm sure if you tell the dealer to check, you might find signs of a leak and they can fix it before you buy it |
hey, i was also wondering which kind of alero was produced with the sport suspension. i know it was one of the 2 door variances but i really don't know the details. any help would be great
|
the performance suspension (FE3) was standard on the GL2 and available on the GLS. You can just check the service parts identification label on the underside of the spare tire cover for the code. FE2 is standard (I don't think any came with FE1).
|
its well beyond 300K now and still running excellent.
