Uh oh...

I feel your pain. While you were away from the site for a little bit I managed to blow up the built 4L60E in my V6 truck. It's been down for a few months while I gather up parts for a 4L80E swap.

Al,
I agree this list is VERY LONG, I've sifted through some of it. I was just expressing my past experience with the brand. But, they were different vehicles.. I am in northeaster PA. So I am also getting plastered with the crappy weather, and am tired of it.. hoping the spyders do well in my stepside GMC, but after this post, I am having my doubts.. but for now, they are looking much better than the hazed stock ones.. and with all the $ I was putting into the body. I didn't want to put a pile into the lights at that point.
Congratulations on the daughter by the way. There is nothing better than their eyes looking at you and telling you "I love you", melts your heart. I have a 10(almost 11) y/o girl. And she is a total daddy's girl.

I'm not going to read this whole thread, but My opinion of spyder headlights are that they are typically some of the best non-factory style headlights. Fitment usually isn't great. But, I absolutely love the light output of projector headlights with HID's, and Spyder headlights hold up better than any other I've tried. They typically don't last nearly as long as oem, but they are a lot better than 99% of the other crappy headlights on eBay.

This job has ****** me at every turm anout money. They lied about my commission to get me there, been ****** sine i started.......spent $4k of my own money to suppliment my bullshit pay......but that included getti g the ford Focus and Firestone wimter tires.

I put 16,000 miles on both my bikes and almost 15k on the truck and car.......gas is kicking the **** outta me too.

I will say that when i was commuting the 112 miles a day with the truck.....at 68mph i was getting 15.8 average. On highway tankfulls. 13 combined with normal crap......i love the motor and the transmission is fantastic.....

Ill bet if i got a new Delohi spider unit and tune id see even better results.
