Ok fellas - I just know your talking in a code - I know that your not the
type of people to put other makers parts on your cars for real, and that the
Imp cops forbid us to talk about anything but cars on this list, but this
code is going bit too far --- It took me a while to relize that gm
alternator had something to do with size & duration , but the tire
interchange has me a little stumped and a bit concerned,...Ya know the
Impcops aren't stuipd and boy when they crack this code....
