quarter mile time has nothing to do with why they were removed. Also, the effectiveness of airbags from 2000 is, "questionable"...

But were they put out before the krappy shrapnel spewers were made? If so, I'll take them.

Metal showing off that service soon light
![]() Fabs you're getting old. I've been doing everything to just get everything paid off and I think deal with the fact that truck is what it is, and buy a something to build instead of another new truck. would rather have a beater truck and a toy.

Pretty sure they were before that and a different brand. They just aren't the same as the high tech more modern multi-stage airbags, and there's only two of them. IMO their effectiveness is limited. I removed the drivers side one so I could install a different steering wheel for racing. The passenger side one went off in an accident (and all it did was give my passenger rug burn on his arm), and I just didn't replace it because I didn't want to pay the expense of the airbag AND the module that has to be replaced every time they go off, plus going to a dealer to get the airbag codes reset with a tech2 to turn off the airbag light. Just wasn't worth it to me. I still have the factory steering wheel and airbag, and that's it. Holding onto it in case I decide to sell the car someday and the buyer wants to reinstall it.

I never really had problems with the motor either (other than burning through FPRs and fuel pumps), it was the rest of the car that had issues. Even if you did want to buy another n-body, good luck finding one in decent enough shape.

the wheel bearings themselves don't suck it's the electronics attached to them.. if anyone wants an n-body in decent shape come buy mine. $1500 and you can drive it away..no rust on the body and the struts are relatively new.. |
