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
, 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.
- I just found out today that my tranny is leaking fluid!
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!
This is just getting rediculous!
I'm fed up now.
Won't be going to the March 19th event.
Well.............wish me luck.

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.

Ohhh....the rental truck will be another slow-*** 4-door 5.3L Silverado with hwy gears.
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.
