Well, I got the truck finally back from the dealer after a little over 6 weeks, which is a whole lot better than some of the estimates I was given. Guess calling the dealer every Friday morning before their call with the regional parts supervisor and following up every Monday finally weared them down.
Even with the hurricane coming this weekend, I was committed to draging a 30' trailer to Penn State for the game. So I was thrilled that my truck was completed, so I would not have to use my Grandfather's lighter 1500 series.
I picked the car up after hours, so when I saw a $100 deductible on the bill for the warranty work their was not much the cashier could do. Guess I will need GM to call the dealer for a second time to remind them of the "no cost" repair. :mad:
The warranty bill was something like $4,300 and I noticed that the dealer also threw in an oil change w/ filter. Too bad the dealer's technicians don't know the specifications of their own vehicles since they put 5W30 oil in my 2500HD. :eek: Not using the truck much this week, so the oil will be swapped out this weekend.
My big concern is that since receiving the car back from the dealer the Low Coolant light has come on twice. Usually only for a few minutes after the car has sat for a few hours. I have topped off the tank and am actively monitoring it. After reading Brandy's situation with the dealer and a coolant leak she suffered, the question is could the dealer have screwed something up in taking apart or putting together my engine that could result in a coolant leak? :(
