ok i had a customer come in today asking for a copy of his invoice from me replacing his e-brake. he said he just got a letter in the mail from GM saying they were gona pay for it the problem. then i asked him and he said i should be getting one also. he is the type to write a letter to them but by him saying the last statment makes me wana believe he did not.

any one get a letter???

 

not me, but i hope i do get one. dont know why, but my e-brake holds awesome and i use it daily(i have a steep driveway). 38,000 miles on the truck and i dont even push the e-brake 1/4th down to get it holding tight. my other 2 nbs trucks had e-brake problems around 15k miles

 

i hope so also because i know i will be getting some money back. was his truck a manual or automatic? i heard from a service tech that gm was doing a recall on the e-brakes for manual trannies.

 

whats the difference?

 

:dunno:

 

should be the same parts...probably just more likely that a vehicle with a manual trans will end up in neutral and roll away as opposed to one with an auto

 

good thinking on the manual auto issue. yes his is a manual and i can see them recalling only those. why becasue it is a saftey hazard because u need an ebrake on a manual. well damn that pisses me off i thought i was gona get paied to work on my own truck.


edit: oops u beat me. and yes they are the same parts. also latley i have seen a fiew cases where the only prob is the axle seal blown and causing the e-brake to not hold.

 

My moms suburban e brake is going out and we have a family friend who is a technician at Lonestar Chevrolet who says GM is doing the recall. Sooo

 

i dont know. I dont have an e brake anymore. the pedal just goes to the floor for some reason????? O ya thats right i took it off. Damn it. no money for me

 

well it is a big mess.. i was told 2 yrs ago by a tech i knew he could replace mine under waranty when he was doing the rearend but i was out of waranty..

who realy knows. i dont think any one
