Why I love My Chevy - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*Zilverado* · 02-06-2003, 03:05 PM

So I'm calling around today to source out a rebuilt power steering gear box for my wife's '92 pathfinder (lots of play):

Aftermarket - $740.00

Dealer - $1100.00

Used ones (not rebuilt) with a 90 warantee run about $250 to $500.

Keep in mind these are Canadian dollars, but still........

Man I love my Chevy

I hear that. My chevy cost me almost nothing but gas to keep on the road. i have lifetime warranty on almost everything and rarely have problems with the lifetime equipment. I love my chevy too!

BigRed · 02-06-2003, 04:01 PM

Amen, brother!!

Low87 · 02-06-2003, 04:07 PM

Another Amen. I'm driving my first and last Chrysler (Sebring). Had to replace the brake light switch under the pedal, the part alone was $85. I took it in for a tune up (have to remove the manifold, etc to get to rear plugs), that cost $600. Every Chrysler part is expensive as hell and has to be ordered. Next daily driver will be a Tahoe.

Greg,

I doubt a Tahoe will be any cheaper. Any of these new fangled vehicles are going to be costly to repair. 99.9% of the stuff, we can't do ourselves, so they got us by the ba**s on a downhill drag.

I agree, the pathfinder also has also developed a slow idle problem (450 to 500 rpm). Since the electronically controlled idle speed is not supposed to need adjusting, I'll likely have to take it to a shop to have them test it to find the problem. Possible some kind of air supply

which could cost around $500 to replace.

Older + Simpler = Cheaper =

Low87 · 02-06-2003, 05:41 PM

Okay Mike, how about building me a retrofitted 73-87 Blazer?

More like an uphill drag Mike.

Either way it hurts

Hey Low87, I love your avatar!

"You've got two halves of a coconut, and you're banging them together!" (in a British accent of course)

Low87 · 02-07-2003, 03:02 PM

I'm going to have to watch it again soon. Arveetek got lots of cool points though, most people (Gene!) are like "what's on your avatar?"

*Zilverado* · 02-07-2003, 03:16 PM

Okay, since my post has been hijacked, how about I give my $.02.

Again in an English accent....(the holy hand grenade):

"First you pull the pin and count to thrrrree, not to two, and not to fourrrr..........Five is rrrright out....."

My personal favorite.

And then there's....

"I'm not dead - - yes, you are - - but I'm feeling fine - - you'll be dead in a minute - - - Bring out your dead!!!"

PHOENIX · 02-07-2003, 03:18 PM

WTF are you guys talking about?
Yes I did just crawled out of a cave and I dont know what the F is going on!

Gene · 02-07-2003, 03:20 PM

"Monty Python and the Holy Grail". A must see if you like silly British (John Cleese) humor.

Low87 · 02-07-2003, 03:27 PM

Eddie, all this is from the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". If you haven't seen it, see it!

PHOENIX · 02-07-2003, 04:51 PM

Oh yes!

And don't forget another memorable moment in the film when the knights were fighting:

Knight 1: "Where are you going? Come back here! I'm not finished with you!"

Knight 2: "But I've cut your arms and legs off!"

Knight 1: "It's not that bad....'tis just a flesh wound!"

Knight 2: "What are you going to do? Nudge me to death?"

79BIG10 · 02-07-2003, 07:24 PM

LMAO!!!

c10scotty · 02-07-2003, 11:05 PM

*Zilverado* · 02-08-2003, 12:21 PM

And who could forget....

"What's your favorite color?"
"Blue, no.....red, ahhhhhh.........."
