    Everything but the driveshaft. B03A - 410
    We brought the GX home last night. It needs a timing belt (full kit) and fan pulley bracket. It's been in Arkansas since 2019. Before coming to AR, it lived in Lakeland, FL. No rust. I've known the previous owner since 2020. Repairs with OEM parts. The starter was replaced a couple of years ago. 250,000 miles. Comes with some RCI armor. This is one that I don't need to outfit right off the bat.

    Hopefully the valves aren't bent - is it a pre-VVT model?

    It was a piece of broken radiator cap that was causing the overheat

    Yours is cracked?

    They don't feel like typical GM plastics

    Yeah mine is. there was a bad run of dashes or wrong material or something. The lucky ones got theirs replaced under warranty.

    I don’t mind much, it doesn’t rattle or creak.
