  GM 100 000 mile warranty

DR, naturally I was joking, the only way you could spin the wheels was on ice with that combination. The sister van was in southern Ontario near Murf so it saw some cold weather, but only gets real cold now and then. It was a rare combination but I think I saw another one or two with over 100K with no problems. I thought it was a good rig as they were something like 25 mpg on the highway.
Amsoil? Yes there may be a link. Naturally there are few recourse with them when the mechanics fails.

  GM 100 000 mile warranty

I just turned over 160K on my 1500K silverado.
A few problems under warrenty, a few more problems out of warrenty but nothing too out of the ordinary. I dont want to blow my horn that it has been a good truck (it has) because this morning in the wet wet wet weather we had, it took a few time to get started and only after it warmed up did it run good. I think a new problem is on the horizon. All in all I am happy with the truck but I need atleast another 60K on her to be real happy!

OK Eric.... you got me.

Spinning wheels? Not on a dry surface. Besides the six and a stick, that van was only available with a .273 rear axle.

It would burn the clutch trying to start on hills and 1st gear topped out at 50+ mph. It was not just useless on ice but sometimes dangerous.

I eventually swapped the .273 for a .350 locker. Never saw 22 MPH again but at least I could get it rolling come winter time.

Hardwood:

You have a point. I had a '99 Silverado where the transmission went bad ~ 2,500 miles. The dealer put a new onein under warranty. After 2 years, GM had the 0% interest and I bought a '02. No serious problems after 110k, just regular maintenance items. Someone told me - buy a Chevy to tow; and a Ford to plow.
