I've figured that with my first ride. They voided the warranty on my tahoe because of the 35's. The rear 10 bolt grenaded, and they wouldnt cover it the rebuild.
I know the owner at the dealership i bought it from, so hopefully i never have to take it to a different dealership.

 

well give me some tips then. I have already had the tranny replaced but now they are using the tires as a scape goat to not fix the right hub bearing and axle. It's prolly really about how much hell i have to raise at them, ain't it?

 

From what I've read and heard about other people's experiences, it seems that the warranty claim is refused subsequent to whatever "system" you've modified. It's like a 6 degrees of separation thing; Bigger tires ->driveline stress->tranny explodes, therefore tranny replacement denied. If a stock lifter comes apart and ruins the motor they can't deny the claim under the Moss-Magnuson Act, 1975.

Not everyone is a reasonable man, so if the shop manager is a by-the-book type, and only sees GM vehicles as a job and a paycheck, then you're likely not going to get much help. But if the guy likes what he does and enjoys working on cars (which most of them that I know are), and you go in and say something like, "The tires were expertly installed and an alignment was performed, pinion angle checked...even if you can't replace under warranty, if there's something you can do to help out I would probably have the repair done here at your shop, etc.."

That being said, the warranty is there to protect you from something GM might have done wrong/overlooked/or was just defective in general; it's not there for parts we find a way to break on our own.

 

very nicely put. I'm sure I can get it fixed being as how they sold the warranty to me with aftermarket 22s, I also bought that extended warranty along with the 100,000 mile drive train warranty. My uncle just happens to know Chris Myers that owns the Chris Myers Automalls and such around the Mobile and Pensacola areas, including the one I bought mine from, of course. Does anyone know of a website or anywhere I can look to find recall problems?

 

The detailed TSBs are usually privileged info that isn't available to the public in a database format, so unless you know a GM tech, or one posts on message boards (there's several here I think) you won't be able to get the entire text of the TSB, free of charge.

I used this site which gives a basic overview of the TSBs for a given model year as well as the Service bulletin number, but you have to pay for the entire text. But knowing there's a TSB that exists for your particular problem can help narrow down the search if you bring it up with a tech.
