At that price, those cannot be true LS2 TBs. They are likely LS3 TBs that will also work on the LS2. Cheapest I could find a true LS2 is $336 on ebay. (Gm Part # 12570790) from seller "thepartsplaceinc".

Damn bro, sorry to hear there are troubles, but we all seem to have them at some point...

Good Luck and let me know how things turn out.. and think about the 18th or 20th you and I hitting San Antonio Speedway for some shakedown runs... or maybe the 25th depending on how close my car is when I get home...

i am getting an 102 this week so i can take care of this problem.. we swapped pulleys and added meth and let loose and there goes the the 102 closing... but it is a small problem that will get fixed this week and be ready to hit the track when u get back from work... im gonna need some slicks hopefully i can get them soon.. the torque on this bad boy is crazy and comes in so hard.. have u installed your hex vents? im gonna need to get mine installed soon lots of heat under the hood even with meth..

That made me spit up my orange juice.

Just an email.. Who uses the phone anymore. Just once though. I answered back and he vanished into thin air. If he is a man of his word I'll get my new tb. It's in his hands now. Nothing more I can do. It will accomplish nothing positive to pound him with emails.

Why would I buy a new one from GM? I am sure you can find some used somewhere.

Go for it I was not successful, and I feel better starting with New.
