Maybe, but it appears they come with truck diff's also...

06, 51k
Radio button wear
Passenger interior pull handle on door fell off
Pretty sure I need motor mounts.
The dealer I bought it from had to put a new clutch in because they sold it to an 80+ year old man that didn't know how to drive a manual. He put a few hundred miles on and traded for a new malibu...

I feel lucky. If I'd been to this website before buying the car, I probably would have bought a BMW.

BMW is a bad word on this website. Haha. And if you did get a Beemer then you would have to buy expensive snobby clothes too. And maybe a Ferrari watch. And gucci sunglasses. And last not but least. A hot gf that really doesn't like you, but only your car. I really hope there is a BMW owner reading this. Oops
