good god you've had alot of cars, hope you didn't put much money into each lol.

New car is always waste of money, had few of them in past years... But mostly used ones.

With that amount of cars you should apply and get a dealers license. That means you can buy cars at wholesale prices and have a very useful set of dealer plates.

Damn that sucks dude I'm gonna rebuild my diffs at some point, nice to get a break on the parts tho. Check craigslist for a used 4L65E or even a good shop that can beef it up for cheap.

I work for a local GM dealer, so I think I'll get the tranny rebuild with very reasonable price... still it's not gonna be cheap...

JD: I don't think that we have this thing called "dealer license" or "dealer plates" except for tax-free vehicles here in Finland. And I'm not trading/selling vehicles except for fun

Buy the front axle parts from randys ring and pinion, way cheaper and 1/2 the price. I'm rebuilding mine for $300, doing the labor myself. Rear is $600 with a trutrac, royal purple in both diffs. Just cuz you work for the dealer doesn't mean they're cheap. Oh and be sure to buy the 5 pinion planetaries for your trans, that is the main reason the vette/denali/escalade trannies hold up better.

I was planning to remove front diff and transmission tomorrow after work. That in mind went shopping today. Now I have master kit with 7-clutch high friction plates (Raybestos or so), corvette servo kit, 5-pinion rear planetary, high friction band and some gaskets etc.
Tomorrow I should also get parts for front diff (seals, bearings etc). So, it's gonna be a long weekend...
