Keep using the K&N filter. I have been using them since I purchased the car in 05'. I take my own oil and K&N to the dealer and they install it for me.

I came across K&N's for like 4-5.00 a piece and purchased enough to get me to about 80K in oil changes. Starving the engine of oil? BOGUS.

Computer Aided Gear Shift(or selection)AKA: Skip shift. It forces you to shift from 1st to 4th under light throttle condidtions under some circumstances. It was put there by GM on the T-56's to reduce emissions and to bypass the gas guzzer tax. It can be defeated by a risistor, programmer, tune or a $20 part called skip shift eliminator. Or you can rev your engine to about 3k and you wont see it.

No scratches or dents. I nailed it a few times on the way home and it runs as advertised. Glad to have it back.

damn they must have hated to do that. According to book time..... replacing a camshaft in these cars takes 27 book hours!!! But im sure they beat that. Doubt ful they beat warrenty book time

I think the book calls for them to remove the engine.
