A couple of other things happened ....As I was driving along on my way to the upholstery shop, the car quit running.....I coasted off to the side and tried to figure what went wrong.......Humm!!............3/8 of a tank of gas.........Hummm!!.....went to start it and it started right up......Humm!!....I could still hear Charley telling me to double check the fuel gauge prior to Power Tour......Gas Station right across the street....pull in and put in 15.8 gallons in a 16 gallon tank......LOL
Went and had a economy tune put in the ECM for fuel mileage on the Power Tour.....I also found out to get Sirius to work with the new radio I needed to spend some more money for a tuner and some other stuff......Dave comes over to hook everything up and they sold us the wrong stuff...........Darn!!......... Also......The ECM controls the Radiator fan on/off and once the engine temp gets to normal, the Fan comes on and never goes off......Went to the GM dealer for a new Fan Temp Control Sensor.....put it in......same thing.........Humm!! Now.......The one that really makes me not like this car........after getting the windshield resealed.....I checked it today and it still leaks like a sieve..........Double Darn!! When the time presents itself......that piece of crap 1 pc windshield is coming out and I'll go back to the 2pc flat glass style............... Ken

Bring lots of towels for the windshield Ken. They are talking heavy rain in Iowa today and tomorrow.
Looks great and congrats on a record build!
