-Core / exchange. $350 core charge is not a $1299 core charge. Mike will send the new one out, you put yours back in the box, and bam, done. ZERO downtime. Without having to have $2k tied up in a drive shaft for a couple days. Again accessibility. Plus Mike STOCKS them. They go out that day if he has them. No waiting.
(Make no mistake I'm not implying ANYTHING derogatory about AMS, at all. Just so nothing is misconstrued.)
-Mike, I know him. He bought from me back in the day and I know how he runs his shop so I expected good service from him. I also happen to like him and so I went this route.

That's about it.
Thanks again for all the great feedback.. I wasnt going to reply to the above poster because i knew you would..

I dont know much about AMS unit.. I know ours was out 1st and we 99% of the time have them in stock.. Our core charge is low also.. Those are some advantages as stated above also..

Thanks for the info guys! That lower core charge is a huge benefit, and the 2 less pounds definitely doesn't hurt either

I do have a question, lets see if I can do my best to describe it..

When rolling down the street, holding the throttle at a steady state (Cruise) I notice when the road has very slight angle changes (Uphill, downhill), the car seems to "rock" back and forth, like the driveline is loading and unloading due to the slop. If that makes any sense, answer this:

Does it get rid of that? If so, I will be defiantely adding this to my list of To Do's..
