Hi `Zack, that's low miles & it's just broke in
Now, you can drive it over 60 MPH + (LOL)...
Still looks Brand New + your mod improvements
You should be able to go 10X your 52K miles 4>Sure

 

Thanks! It has been really good to me so far. *knock on wood. I plan on keeping it for a long time and seeing what I can do to it in the mean time.

 

Good Luck `Zach,

I hope U get over a million miles +
I think a hood like Devin got would look super on your Red Monte 4>Sure...(I don't know what they cost), but they look awesome...EnJoy your Super Super Monte

 

I have always wanted one like that. And I got to chose between one or headers and a cutout.... I chose to make more noise. Both of them cost North of 1k so I decided to put the hood on the back burner for a bit and wake up the neighborhood haha

 

Thanks Zack 4 your reply...Yes, it seems like some great mod's cost Big $'s & every owner has to decide what is best for them...Maybe `if U R good `Santa will get you a new custom Hood

Now with your new loud Hot Rod sounding Monte S.S. your neighbors will be knocking on your door >(LOL)>
>Hey `Zack, U R waking everyone `Up (LOL)

 

I figured the route I went I could get more done for the money. I made a thread in the general section you should check it out and see what you think. I am pretty sure my neighbors already want to kick me out of the neighborhood haha

 

2006 lt, have replaced brakes (obviously), battery, positive battery cable (terminal cracked in half), battery current sensor, purge valve solenoid, muffler (hole rusted through it), water pump (gasket leaking), and need to do blend door motor but dont feel like messing with it. 93,100 hard driven miles (job is delivering)

 

I now have about 116000 miles on the monte now. The car is doing pretty decent as of recently. I had some maintenance done as far as the suspension but that's about it.

 

sludge in cooling system is probably due to Dexcool coolant,drain, flush,replace with regular green antifreeze,run for a while then repeat! Dexcool is called "Death cool" for a reason!! chemically breaks down plastis and rubber parts!!
