    ive heard they both just stamp their names on each others parts, both are oem in the end.

    like delco fuel pumps are made by delphi and stamped acdelco.


    kinda like zzp and wbs lol

    I thought they were the same but it had me puzzled with the $3 price difference, the ac costed more. I just decided to go with it, also just ordered a ac thermo stat and ac water pump with the metal and rubber gasket, so with the new uim and lim gaskets most of the system will be new, figerd it may be a good idea with me driving over 600 miles a week now lol jst gotta do a good flush and get the dex cool crap out

    600 miles? DAMN! I mean I seriously did about 1,500 miles a week at my old job with a company vehicle but 600 is high for a personal vehicle imo

    it is honestly, work is kinda far and I drive 300miles both ways just to see my daughter every week, I must say the gp has its problems but little stuff, I was expecting a lot more stuff to go wrong. I bought it for the trips since it rides so well and comfy lol (did want a Bonneville tho) and because I have a suburban on 22's that loves gas to much and is a major turd. something breaks everytime I drive it so bought the gp because I don't trust it lol

    reptile sells caned tunes here.

    but as always a in car tune works best, so if you can find a local in your area who tunes go that route.

    what year and model you have?

    I got a tune from reptile, my mpgs went down the first few days, im ganna get a crank relearn done and see what happens. was getting 34-35 going 55 before the tune, was at 29 after. Oddly enough, set my cruise on way home from the 280 mile trip, and it got to 31 mpg. Only got 29 on the way down going 55. The -10 temps may have hurt it, im not sure. Ill see, but reptiles tune is good for me, performance when i want to try to be a racecar in a not so much racecar.
