OK, first I wanna say congrats Kyle. You will like this truck. Now, Buick is not an old man's car..to all of you teenagers and kids in your 20's who think so, let me remind you of one of the baddest cars EVER built, a BUICK Grand National! Buick has always been a PERFORMANCE Luxury automobile, but they were so luxurious that every senior citizen alive that had a hint of personal style or good taste wanted one so they all inherited the "old man's car" persona. The fact is there are more supercharged and turbocharged Buicks on the road than there are riced up hondas. Regal Grand Sport, Rivera, Park Avenue Ultra...all have Supercharged Engines. Then of course the Grand National, GNX, and T-type Regals with Turbo chargers. All of these cars are very respectable, they look great, and they give a ride quality second only to their cousin the Cadillac. So,show some GD respect when in the company of greatness! ...Again Kyle, CONGRATS! Oh by the way we are a Buick dealer too......

just cleaning up to make civilized and on-topic - hillbilly

Really, all told on my Bravada, I put all new shocks on all 4 corners for around $250, full tuneup consisting of plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and both upstream O2 sensors - $250, power steering pump - $100, new lower intake manifold gaskets - $40(?), new fuel injection spider - $200, new rear brake pads, rotors, & caliper brackets - $250, and lots of TLC (lol). I traded the truck in for $3000 less than I bought it for almost 3 years and 20k miles ago.

I don't think the truck owes me anything and I think I got a good deal on the trade.

So... Back to the Rainier! I picked it up tonight and it is stowed away in the garage for the night. I removed the running boards, ran the wires for my blue light, and set all of the personalization settings. Now for the fun part, decoding the RPO codes!!
