:thumbs: Well i sold my 07, it was starting to give me a lot of troubles. So I traded it in on a 2011 Subaru STi. Don't regret it one bit! I'll be picking up a beater 2000ish truck in the spring to haul the trailer and bikes.

 

Well here's the new rig! 305HP 290 torque 3250 lbs. Can't beat that for fun!

I was starting to have electrical gremlins, the radio would die, right side speakers cut in and out. Then there would be no lights, no gauges all electrical in the cab was down, blinkers only stayed solid and the headlights didn't work. Had another rear spring break on me, another front ball joint go. all with 88 kms...so it was time to say bye bye and get back into a new car.

Subaru builds good vehicles based on my experience. I've had four Chevy trucks and my wife has had five Subaru cars. Back in the day GM owned 25% of Fuji Heavy Industries (Subaru) but sold it to Toyota a couple of years back. I can only hope they don't make a Subota out of a great product. AWD, power if you want it in turbo trim, great gas mileage. etc. Aside from some occasional head gasket problems on the 2.5 4 cyl they give very few problems. I hate to see you leave Chevy trucks, but if it works best in your situation you have to do what works. I don't think you'll be disappointed with the quality of Subaru. Best of luck with the new car, and maybe the beater truck can turn into a project as well.

 

Good luck.

Did the same thing back in April when I got rid of my 2009 GMC. I picked up a WRX premium and it was awesome! However, I missed having a truck too much, so I picked up a new 2011 Chevy!! WRX's are badass cars, lots of power, decent room, and actually decent gas mileage.

Great purchase man! I had a WRX before my truck and I do miss having it but I also love my truck. The new STi's are freaking sweet and im sure you'll enjoy having it. That WRX was also one of the most reliable vehicles I have ever owned. Just make sure when you replace the tranny fluid you only put in subaru's Extra-S tranny fluid. Other brands can give you grinding problems.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
