Really off topic now ...

But - GM saw fit to put a pull strap inside the trunk in case you stuffed a body back there. It even glows in the dark.

Do your seats flip down in the Monte, anyway? I know getting to that safety latch on the face of the trunk is a PITA. When my BCM lost its program when the battery went...i found out first hand how tough it is getting back there with the flip-n-fold and some crap in the trunk...and i ain't that big.

Mine fold flat, turning my car into an SSUV. I think that was a cost option.

Dunno about get around that bog 'ole box though ... maybe get a cable extension just in case?

so my 30K miler is starting to throw the tighten gas cap message a couple times a week and pops the evap code about every 3rd time. New gas cap seem to be the 'solution' to it?

Seems like I will need one too, is that covered under the emissions warranty?

If not I will have to wait till spring to drop the tank.

Cool

AFAIK, only 3/36k coverage.
