Dropping Off Truck at Dealership Again
 

Well guys........this will be the final time my truck get brought to the dealership for them to try and fix my rear drum brake problems!
I drop it off on Wednesday (3-1-06) morning.
- Being this will be the 7th attempt to fix it :eyes: , a GM Rep will be there to do his evaluation on what actually needs to be done to it to fix it for good.
- They will be also be fixing my horn for the 2nd time. It works sometimes and then sometimes it does nothing. They will be replacing the horn switch this time. :bang:
- I just found out today that my tranny is leaking fluid! :barf:
This will actually be the 2nd tranny problem. The first time it made a weird noise when shifting from 2-3 at normal driving. It had less than 1000mi on it when this problem occured. They opened it up and did a few things and seemed to fix it.
Truck only has 22,000mi on it. It has a history wrap sheet probably 2 in. thick! :eek2:
This is just getting rediculous!
I'm fed up now.
Won't be going to the March 19th event. :(
Well.............wish me luck. :eyes:

damn man sorry to hear your having alot of trouble... don't feel to bad i busted the case on my trans last week

lemon!!! tell them you want a gmc vortec max since you dont like the way the new vho looks. im sure they can arrange that. hopefully they will figure it out though.

GM told me they would not be involved if I file for the lemon law. They said other things happen when I take that route.
What I got out of the GM customer relation guy was......they may just buy back the truck or replace it if they cannot fix it, but I'm not 100% sure.

Jim

well if they get you a new ride what you going to do with your old parts?

man thats rough jim. would be nice to get a new truck though!

it would be but he dosent like the look of the new bodystyle vho. thats why i recomended the gmc vortech max. he also dosent want to go through the hastle of changing all of the mods over. i dont get the big deal...the only thing that would be a pain is the alarm system. hopefully they will get it right.

make sure you give the rental hell jim!

The big deal swaps would be the exhaust and the alarm. I don't have the factory exhaust to swap back onto my truck. I doubt that GM will let me have the time to pull my exhaust and the new trucks exhaust at the same time. Then again, I have no idea. I guess I will just have to wait and see what's going to happen. :confused:
Ohhh....the rental truck will be another slow-ass 4-door 5.3L Silverado with hwy gears. :eyes: The last one sure was. I thought the 5.3's were peppier than that.
I will still try and give it hell though. My last rental had a screw in the front tire and shook like hell at hwy speeds. :judge:

Jim

lets go muddin :devil: any parts i could use off of the rental :jest: get one with a lq9 and well do a swap over the weekend :devil: they'll never know :)

LENOM!!!!!! :eyes:
