Hi Don,

Engines at 100k and at 235K
4 starters (lifetime warranty)
5 alternators (lifetime warranty)
2 sets of rear shoes
Countless front pads
Various water hoses (but not as many as you would think: to oil cooler, the
little one that goes to the pipe going forward, and the one under the air
box)
1 Clutch slave cylinder
1 Clutch master cylinder
1 Brake master cylinder
1 idle stabilizer (used)
1 sliding door handle (its about time for that to break again)
2 batteries
2 water pumps
2 rear hatch supports
2 head rests (when the kids were toddlers they kept biting through he
plastic)

Only one headlight bulb
Only one tail light bulb

The tranny pinion bearing is going I will be replacing the tranny in less
then 50K

I converted the GL to a Carat (interior)

Currently fighting upper control arm bushings and ball joint... I'm sure
when I'm done they all have been replaced.

I'm sure there is more.

Jere
