Thank you sir!

EDIT:

It is still cheaper to go with Scoggin Dickey and it is the exact same parts, PLUS you get the bolts for everything as they are extra from ECC.

Thank you again!

Umm, I have HEARD 6 hours.

I hope to get some good pictures of my install to shave it down to about 2, but we will see, barring any catastrophic failure. knock on wood

I recently replaced the FP in my wife's trailblazer and most over at Trailvoy said it was a 4-6 hour job and I did it on jack stands in 45 minutes.......

I will be installing the Scoggin Dickey LS& kit, new shifter from azn2dmax, bushings from 07CTS-V and Creative steel, CAGS from hamrhead and a x-pipe from redhotwheel98!

For those that have done it, anything else I shoudl buy in the next 5 days while I am taking out the driveshaft, etc.....

Well if it's not your motor mounts it's probably your harmonic balancer if it's vibrating at idle.

that sucks. Did you get the assembly balanced prior to install? Have you ruled out the driveshaft?

Is it a full time vibration or rpm range specific?

Other than that, what is your impression vs stock?...
