anyway, went to NAPA, autozone, and advanced auto.. only auto parts place around here... and NONE of them can get a heater core and said it was a dealer item... went to a dealer, they STARTED to take it apart when i told them not to, and they cracked the dash worse.. told them they have to pay for it because i told them not to and they said i signed something which doesnt put them at fault... so thats ANOTHER 800... took the truck home and transmission slipped out of gear like three times
sooooo the next day went to a dealership... went drive the new HEMI, but they wouldnt work with me on price at all and pretty much the only thing i could afford would be a work model truck... and the same with Ford... so went price the chevy.. and for the LS and it was 23,000.. so went to the GMC dealership... ended up getting an SLE, with leather, power seats, tinted windows all around, dual climate control, 5.3 w/fuel saver, XM, everything controlled from the steering wheel, crew cab for 24,000.. about 3,000 cheaper than what they offered me at dodge and ford, and gave me 9,000 on my trade in, about 1,000 more than anyone else.
