The oil pump stopped working and in less than 2 miles from when my oil light came on and I limped it home it started knocking bad and smoking. I took it to a shop that only works in Subarus and they said the turbo may have been saved because I never went into boost but the engine was toast and needed a full rebuild.
They quoted me $4000 to fix but they were 16 weeks out from being able to work on it. They do one rebuild a week and had 15 ahead of me. I guess turbo Subarus have a bad habit of blowing after about 120k miles sometimes sooner. I spoke to another shop who could have rebuilt it right away by they quoted me $8000 and the dealership quoted $10000.
The original shop offered me $4000 for the car as is. So I took it. It was only worth about $8k even with the rebuilt engine so i said screw it and I sold it to them.
I really like my new car and I got a great deal on a much nicer, faster and lower mileage vehicle that should last me a while.
Well I finally completed my Morimoto Retrofit project. What a pain in the butt. I ran into a ton of problems, mostly having to do with the crappy ebay headlights. I also had issues getting them adjusted, but I think I finally got it taken care of. Im loving the light output

Probably true. Maybe they will offer it 1/2 way through the year.
Im not 100% sure buy i think i remember that when they rolled out the 6 speed is was available in the Yukon Denali and Escalade in 09 and then 1/2 way through 09 in the 1/2 tons and Tahoe/Suburbans
New, available up-level trailering mirrors with back-up lighting
Hmmm what does that mean?
Also, can someone please tell me why the 8 speed is only available in the limited availability 6.2? Why the hell is it not offered in the 5.3? I have been trying to figure this out for quite some time now.
