$200? What's the catch? lol
Thanks for the help guys... But no point in looking until I have the cash to at least buy the motor :)
And there's a few near by on car-part... Hopefully they're still around when I have the money, lol.
Anywho, more pics!

Yep... That's probably what killed it.
Though, kinda surprising it lasted this long...
This is what it was doing...

I called it a knock, lol.
Never did figure out what was causing it... Until now, I suppose
Ahhh well, live & learn, and buy extended warranty, lmao.

I might be in luck!
Talked to a salesman today, and apparently I purchased the GMPP Total Plus Warranty

That would be good news. I also like the pun in your new signature. I hope you can get it fixed with that warranty cause that would suck to have to fix it yourself. Although a V8 would be nice.

As much as I'd like a V8...
Paying a $100 deductable is so much nicer right now

I agree, gotta do what makes sense financially so that you can get back on the road.
