My brother inlaw called last night to ask me where he could get a new AC pump for his sprinter since the AC died yesterday during the work day and with temps in the 80's which is hot for Seattle he was dying by the end of the day. Pointed him to a place I use to get all my AC and Radiators since they wholesale to the public. Dodge wanted $1590.00 to replace the AC pump and recharge the system. He called and the new DENSO Pump was $195.00 plus about two hrs of his time to change over the pull and recharge the system. Cool as cold!

I agree with you Drew, the Lamps and Sign had a style that really needs to come back. Current versions are just so BLAH!

Black-knight, that 2000 is a sweet ride, nice job it was clearly meant to be for you to have a drama free 4x4 back in your life. Enjoy it as I really like the style and think Jeep needs to remember not every Jeep needs to be a Jelly Bean.

Holden VF Ute and Sportwagon Pictures
G. David Felt replied to GMTruckGuy74's topic in Heritage Marques
Love them both and can actually see Chevy selling both here. I really would love to have the Ute here as I deeply believe there is an underserved market for a truck like that. -
I think this would appeal to anyone even in their 20's or teens who love to drive and love performance. This should attract attention from those that are into auto's, play racing games, go to car shows, etc.

I totally agree with the ditching the DOHC and staying with OHV. I think they can still make great strides on a reliable engine with this technology.

I will tell you this, you will like some of the changes GM has made to their ordering program. -
My brother in-law who has sprinters for his service repair business wishes GM would update their vans as he really hates the poor quality of the sprinter and the Euro roots. Hate to say it, but while many will buy the Euro re-badges to get the job done, many would prefer that they be American Engineered and built.

If they have the sales, then why not continue production till the new one arrives? Check out the competition of mid size trucks and then finalize your new product features and roll out the new Ridgeline.

Industry News: Convertible Sales Are Still Down
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Industry News
Exactly, Thank you -
Interesting that they are expanding their R lineup to cover everyone now. I just hope they do not loose the performance by throwing the R badge on everything. Chevy lost their way when they started to throw the SS badge on every model line and yet so many of the so called Top of the Line SS models were not really SS qualified IMHHO.

2014 Crew-cab CNG GM Truck, The GM Police Caprice, a wide variety of fleet trimmed auto's at the 2014 GM Fleet road show I attended last Thursday. Got some cool stuff to talk about once I finish my write up and review from the power on top. This includes some cool announcements from GM and a awesome Motorized seat that is available. -
Industry News: Convertible Sales Are Still Down
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Industry News
As we move to high strength steel, I can see the convertible only being in the luxury segment and select pony car segment as a full sky roof that opens will be far more practical for people. So far I see more people buying auto's with a sky roof that opens over a convertible desire. Just too limited a use if you live anywhere other than California or Florida it seems. -
True black knight it could just be a bad surface ulcer, but my year and half in NJ showed me just how nice a car could look on the outside but be a rusty bucket of bolts on the underside. I agree the car is still worth checking out, but I would keep my hopes tempered till I had a chance to truly review the underside.
-
Loki, are you saying that like what GM is doing with their new Ecotec Engines, build a crate motor for replacements that includes VVT, cylinder deactivation from 6 to 3 during cruzing and direct injection? All 3 of these items are on the new Ecotec3 v8 engine lineup.
-
From what can be seen it has a single red seat and a metal dash and I agree with PurdueGuy, while they might have a record with this auto, it does not mean it is worth that price. Personally I would not even pay $500 let alone $50 for the ugly R&D auto. That is one best left in the history books as a learning exercise.
-
I have heard this from others as well and I am glad GM built a solid Turbo engine as far as people can tell at this time. Plus the cruz is considerably bigger than the Fiat 500 which I have always felts was a coffin on wheels.
-
Boy that rusted out rear bumper would make me want to double check the whole underside as I suspect it is rusted out and finished without some major restoration work.

Not sure what glue this guy is sniffing as DOHC has never outperformed a traditional pushrod. They have lots of HP and very little Torque and as such require masses of fuel and other gadgetry to make them fly. Yes I know many will point to all the exotic cars and even Porsche with their DOHC motors, but when you get it down to a basic motor, they all fail when you compare raw basic output compared to a pushrod.
-
Very Cool!
-
My fear is that these entry level turbo cars will lul people into a false sense of security and then when they really need instant power they end up in an accident. I personally do not feel these cars are really all that safe on todays freeways.

But the AMG will not bring down the mighty MB like the Aztec did to Pontiac. Course more than just that turd was to blame for Pontiac's death.

I am so shocked it could actually handle the weight. Usually those steel box's filled with tools are freakin heavy. Pretty darn good shape for the area with all the road salt they put down. This just again confirms my belief that they need mini pickups back in the market for sale. -
