    I posted a couple pages back about that. Dex 6 is a retro-upgrade to Dex 3. GM will use it if you bring your car to them. DEX 6 is a 100% times better for transmission componets than dex 3. so yes the shop was right in telling you that.

    If you go to pg. 792 in this thread you can see the GM service bulletin i posted.

    My wife's 02 GPGT passed e-test today, what a scam that is. All they do is check OBD2.

    Backed out of my garage, got too close to the door frame and ripped the passenger side mirror off. The seam on the muffler blew out a few weeks ago. loud as hell. Might as well straight pipe it now.. oh, and backed into a tree :/

    Good idea, definitely should happen. Not everyone will agree with everyone else, but it'll definitely be useful.

    It stuck..

    Currently New England is undergoing a test of how much rain we can get in a given month.. it's wet. A couple quick lights from the highway when a Saturn is next to me. We get rolling and he seems to want the lead, not going to happen. Added maybe 5% throttle and pulled away. The on ramps at my exit are all 270 degree entrances, meaning from the sky it looks like a cloverleaf on the road. Saturn was trying to push me down the ramp, I took it at a comfy pace (afterall..it's a hard turn and wet). I look over as I accelerate to merge and I'm seeing his taillights on the ramp. Car that was behind him has driven right past. Hahahahahaha got a little light in the back and he looped it around.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
