That was supplied to you for 'FREE' or you were charged a 'FEE'?

Not a bad idea to do a J55 conversion, they are much better brakes.

The 'FOR FREE no FEE' doesn't sound like a typical NCM reaction to a request. Did you have what you thought a pretty good 'story' for the agent? It worked for you so ......
It was certainly, it seems easier than the research using inspection of components. I'd say the 3.33 GT7 is a plus.

I just tried to get that seat belt recall done on my 89 convertible. GM told me they didn't have parts anymore, but the recall is still open.

Mine just went into lockup mode on the driver's side so I'm kind of forced to deal with it. Aftermarket ones aren't cheap. The guy I talked to said the recall had been open since 1991, which he commented was longer ago than he had been alive, lol.
