  1. I had an 08 and DI V6 for my girlfriend big mistake. Bought it for 19k in 2012 with 67k I believe black on black completely loaded pop up screen heated cooled seats, first of many problems was the cats and 02 sensors and heated 02 sensors were 385 from dealer I got all four for 600ish I lived with the cats throwing a check engine light every 2-4 months, wheel bearing excider rings would go bad and it's not a replaceable part have to do whole hub assembly otherwise it's only 2 wheel drive and has the abs and traction control lights on all the time did all 4 within 6 months.. Had a clunk in the rear that I couldn't get rid of. I know you're kinda a caddy guy but I'd look else like a newer Malibu. Since it's a Malibu and not a caddy you can probably get a lot newer year for same price. If u do go with caddy make sure timing chain and water pump were done otherwise it's supposed to be done at 100k. The caddy did drive awesome in any amount of snow here in MN besides acting like a plow because it sits so low. It was the hardest vehicle I have had to sell and it was in almost perfect cosmetic condition besides one dent where my GF got door dinged. I sold it with 130k and only for 6300 with the cats still acting up every 2-4 months. Not trying to tell u what to spend your money on just giving u my pros and cons. It rode really well minus the clunk and was decently quick. 

  2. Any plans on suspension/deleting DEF? I know I probably wouldn't l chip it yet for warranty but a lot of ppl do and maybe since ur close with a guy at dealership they might still warranty if something were to happen. I love my Duramax but my next truck will be a 13-15 6.7 Powerstroke, I'm not balling on your level! lol congrats on the purchase I'm sure you'll love it.

  3. Have you ever thought about selling your Tahoe? Like putting it up for bid, with a reserve price of course. Or u have to much sweat, time, blood, love, and money into it? Lol I was always curious.. But damn the caddy is looking amazing! I love the attention to detail you put into every thing you do, you're a great example of do it once, do it right. Love the progress!
