Blegh. Concentration is NOT happening today. Post GM trucks doing cool stuff.

Talked to the mechanic I’m taking my truck to. He can’t take it until tomorrow. Also, he said that there’s a good possibility the servo bore has been scored, in which case I’d probably need a new transmission. $2500 servo upgrade FTL.

For no other reason than to stop looking at the negatives, I put together a short list of upsides.

- I didn’t crack the case, as has happened to some people who messed this up.

- I didn’t lose any components, as could have easily happened if I’d decided to leave the heat shield off and go for a test drive.

- If the bore isn’t too bad, it shouldn’t cost much more than if I’d just got them to install it in the first place.

...

...

- I won’t have to buy gas for another week? That’s kind of it, I think.

Shots fired.

Cars don’t have leaf springs ;)

In all fairness it is more powerful than a Porsche. Besides in 10 years the drivetrain of the Vette will have been put in a truck. But this is all in jest,hence the winky face.

Leaf spring, singular right?

Even the Stingray puts on a damn good show though.

I want to see that. Put it in a Canyon and make a new Syclone plz.

Well, naturally. But getting serious:

- The Corvette used a TRANSVERSE leaf, whereas trucks use LONGITUDINAL. Not sure what the advantage was.

- Does the C7 seriously still use a rear leaf? I thought that died partway through the C6.

In this Edmunds article they state it has leafs at the rear. http://www.edmunds.com/car-reviews/tr…

Lots of British sports cars had a transverse leaf too.

You said it!

Besides, both leaf and coil springs are ancient technology.

Whoops! I thought they only used the leaf spring up front.

Besides, pushrods. It just works.

Pushrods are good.
