UPDATE: we got the old harmonic balancer pulled off today and come to find out that the seal that is on the back of the harmonic balancer is tore. It's a Gm only part, we have to wait til Monday to order. We will have the balancer back on Tuesday, putting oil pan on Monday (great weather expected), and going to pull modules out Monday. Had really cold weather this weekend so didn't have much progress. Hopefully I can get a lot done Monday and be ready to finishing ordering the last few parts we need.. (As of now). Wish us luck for weather Monday! I will update Monday on profess of oil pan, and modules.

Yes I have a time or two. Trustworthy and usually fast shipping.

Yay, glad to hear that! I have been a little weary about buying from them... But I can't wait to get my stuff. Thanks!

I have ordered from them several times, each time with excellent results. No need to worry.

I have a few times and they are great. I love that they verify their parts with your car before it ships.

GMPARTSDIRECT is great for genuine GM parts. It's who I have ordered all the parts that I need from since 2007.

AustinWithrow · 12-24-2014, 10:46 AM

UPDATE: Parts have been ordered and are on the way. Haven't got a tracking number so I don't know where they are yet but hopefully they will be here soon. Suppose to have warm weather today but rain, so hopefully we can catch a break and get the rear end out of the car. Finally got the harmonic balancer pulley on the motor and now we are just waiting on these last few parts so we can have everything done with the motor. Then it's just tearing down my car and figuring out what all has to be swapped (electronics, harness's, modules... Etc.) then we should be ready to get this beast swapped out and running.

PS: I got to test drive a 2010 SS yesterday at a local car dealership and it was awesome. Since I got to drive the Camaro with a standard. I'm so much more ready to get mine done. Again, thank you guys for holding on with me. Wish I could've done it earlier in the year but this is how it worked out!
