Hopefully you don''t have the same problem I had. I got the marker lights on my 08 a few months ago and whenever I went over 60 on the highway they started vibrating. It felt like they would fly off if I went any faster. I went back and they put more weatherstripping in there and they''ve been fine, but if you have to go 100 miles to the dealer, you''ll be hating your second trip there.

I had that exact problem with my ''06. I brought it back and they fixed it for about a year, but then it started again.

Just for your consideration. I would take a tape measure and get the specs for your filter on an Alpha. I found out a long time ago K&N often uses the same filter or almost the same, with a different part number. I needed a filter for a 92 LeSabre. It was $75. I noticed the stock Fram filters for it and my Impala were the same part number. So I bought a Impala SS K&N for the Buick and it was only $38. The moral of the story is that for a little of your time a Alpha owner may find a filter for a different application that will work. They other neat thing is most parts stores have the book with the measurements listed.

I was considering getting a throttle body spacer for my alpha. I know a lot of you here think it will be a waste of time and money, however the spacers increase intake volume which will allow for more torque. I installed one on my trailblazer with a 4.2L along with a cold air intake and it made a difference I gained better throttle response and smoother acceleration at higher speeds. I was thinking of getting one for a 5.3L for either a silverado or trailblazer. Are the intakes the same?

ok scratch the thought of a throttle body spacer just looked at it. There is only 3/4 of an inch clearance between the fan and the air tube as it is so there is no clearance to install one. just wait for the cold air set ups to come out.

Doc Olds any updates on CAIs for us 08 owners??
My 3.7 is ok but I''m jonesing for a little more juice.

I still cannot believe that I can''t find any other CAIs - how tough is it as a major company to make one. They have them for just about every other make and model but NOOOOOOOO - not the 08 3.7

I want a little more juice - yeah should have gotten the Alpha - "I coulda had a V-8"

I had a jet Power control module interface in my olg GMC, worked pretty darn good.
I have a PCMforless tune on my 07 and I find it to be much better. They do show an application for the 08 as well.

It is the same GM performance exhust they have had all along. Way overpriced IMO, but it do have a "GM" stamped on it. Check em out on ebay.

I would be more interested in what the steelership charged to slap it on there and how long it took them?
