Going to see what theyll give me for my base 08 tomorrow. Hope I don't get screwed! Anyone else do this yet? (upgrade).

Upgrade? Aside from the lower miles and a color center screen what's the improvement to 2012 that you haven't already made (like upgraded relays for example).

Engine is updated in the 2012. They eliminatated the lubrication nozzle for the timing chain. There's a problem with the timing chain stretching and contacting this nozzle resulting in possible catastrophic issues.

Really? This is the first I've heard of it. Evidence? Link?

Not to be a dick, but please don't post $hit like that without proof; some n00b will read this post and start either posting elsewhere on this forum about it or talking about it at the next meet because he "heard about it from someone."

That being said, if this topic has been discussed before and I've just missed it, then I apologize.
