That sucks man, hell yeah nows the time to mod it!!!

Question, Do the V8 Raniers and Saab's suffer from this or just an LS2 oil pan thing?

And i'd be pissed if a tech piled plugs and exhaust gaskets on my windshield/ cowl. WTF Thats sloppy.

I thought it was the AWDs that primarily suffered from this.

If it's a v8 they all have the same problem my mom had a rainier that wasted the 5.3 with 500 miles on it. For what it's worth that was prob a manf flaw but who knows.

I would be less worried about the stuff on the windshield and more worried about the metal bracket on the front bumper.
