Indeed. I just got a new valve cover (front one) from Grossman Chevrolet (
www.grossmanchev.com for the curious) in Bursville, MN because the old one had a crack in it, causing it to leak oil. It was never a big problem, but now was the time to fix that
. After that, i'm going to have Paramount Auto (a goodyear/gemini franchise thing) nearby do a maintenance tuneup for me instead, since I have absolutely no time for it. Besides, they check almost everything, replace filters, oil, the works for like.....$35
.
Anyways, you didn't have the opinion that I wanted, but thats ok
. I have fully researched the deck and i'm set on that, but I haven't quite been able to see if the chip is good. its not that I haven't had the time, its that i've been unsuccessful in doing so. I don't want to plunk down $150-$180 for something that not everyone has had big successes with. The only thing I know is that some people have had long engine lives with the chip. Whether they are linked is another matter, however...but still, its a nice coincidence.
I absolutely would love a new deck for CDs or MAYBE Satellite Radio, but I would love even more a smoother shifting and running car
. I suppose i'll do more lookin' around for it.
