Re: Gun owners win this one

A weapon will only escalate<sp> the sitaution. So while I agree every Amercian citizen should be allowed to own AND carr...

Re: 1996 to 1999 vortec stock 5.7L exhuast manifolds

Then what your lookin for are exhaust manifolds =). Chevy, to my knowdlge, has never put headers, from the factory on any of thier cars. But if I rember right a few people posted on the old board that the full size truck manifolds worked best. I cant be sure of this though.

Re: Can the catalytic converter be eliminated?

With out any emmissions laws then takeing out the cat will only help ya. In MO we dont have to have a sniffer test on 1995 and earlyer cars BUT if it came factory with a cat or A.I.R. it HAS to be on it to pass visual safety insp. But that dont mean you cant have a hollow shell where the cat used to...

Re: Dex-crap settlement

Sowas putting coolant in a car knowing it was crap. besides isnt your time and money for parts worth anything?? I dont really see this as dishonest as long you actually did the work. Would be different if you didnt have a car that was affected and got the moeny any way.

Re: What year did the factory window tint color change?

My 93 has the dark tint BUT it also is a conversion with 'aftermarket" windows in it. One has to be replaced and I found it on the net for $300 <ouch>. So if ya can I would find a clear one and have it tinted to match or tint all of them to look the same.

Re: what is this part called?

I took mine out compleately and put a slicer pipe in, the only thing it dose is shut the water off to the heater core when you turn the temp down. I havent noticed any diff in heating OR cooling myself.
