Default Doing some thinking

So I've been deciding whether or not to trade my car in on a 2006 powerstroke or getting a 2007 Monte Carlo ss. I truely miss my Monte and do not want a foreign car. I only got the car to build credit. So in the next few months, I would like to trade it in. Any problems known about the 7th gen? Any thing I should look for or be leary of? Thanks!
Ps. How hard is it to delete the DoD??

From my last understanding, it was easier to turn out DoD on the 2006. However Diablew might have updated and able to get it off the 2007.

The usual issues with the Trans are still there. Also wheel bearings.

Yup Trans problems i hear about a lot, but that's quite hit and miss i know plenty including me who haven't had any problems including one guy who has almost 150K on his original trans

DOD can be tuned out no problem with any tuner.

If you decide to get one, you wont regret it

Ok. I'm looking at a 2006 right now. It's red. Has 78850 miles on it. Hopefully I can get it!

Do it! x2 on the wheel bearings or sensors that are in them. Im working on that issue right now. Everytime you punch the ls4 you will know you made the right purchase.

Just don't put big wheels on it

Those will be worse on the trans with more power than your last car.
