Well guys, I could use a little bit of prayer from you...
I believe my transmission is making noise (output bearings?);
I am going to try to have a sit down with the service manager at the dealership beside my work tomorrow to see about them looking at it under the guise of possible powertrain warranty;
This is why I went GMS1, and why I have not installed aftermarket stuff on it...
(well I do have a downpipe, but a warranty voiding CAI is decidedly absent)

It started making noise a couple days ago while I was in Winnipeg, then by the time I got back into town, it got a fair amount louder.

I do have a back up, but I really hope I don't have to go this route.

My limited power train warranty is good for 5years or 160,000km;
I bought the car in February 2010, and am currently at somewhere around 142,000km - so if this was going to get covered under warranty, timing is ideal.

 

wow crappy, keep us informed

 

I've been there let me know if you need any help with it

 

whos's coming sat?

 

so far you, jon, maybe jonathan, maybe sean,

 

We will be there... I will text Teejay

 

very good!!!!!! teejay is more then welcome to come.

 

Teejay is out... existing plans

 

no worries, next time. we shall see you sat. btw the way im thinking burgers, ribs, and jumbo dogs. any objections? or preferences?

 

Wow that's too much I'm good with burgers or hot dogs not AND

 

agreed... ribs are way too much effort... what are we bringing? Don't say nothing!

 

just show up hungry is good. hahahaha i will worry about the food. hahahahahha i shouldnt have ask on your thoughts. hahahhahaha

just bring your drinks.


besides guys you forget who your talking about? im lazy what i do is what i do, if it was any effort at all then thats up to me now isnt it.

 

ice cream cake?

 

ice cream cake would be good. maybe a log would be better because our freezer is small.

dont worry about the food guys really. we are use to this so it doesnt take much effort to get a few things ready. usually the cleaning of the house is the effort part. however we just cleaned the house so i really dont have alot to do but get a lil bit of food prepared.

 

K we are on dessert duty... I will see about a log or maybe the cupcakes...

 

I haven't done things the cheapest way, and I have retained a bone stock appearance for just this reasoning;
I hope to not have to use the spare F35 that I have, but if I must, I will...
I would much rather play by their rules, and get this fixed under warranty - especially since I have 7 months or 14,000km left in my original powertrain warranty.

I sent a polite email to the service manager this morning, touched base via phone at lunch (which was probably a good thing, as he hadn't noticed it yet), and hope to hear from him with in a day or so...

I'm crossing my fingers...

Paper filter back in;
GMS1 back in;
I'll probably even swap the downpipe back tonight...

 

im cool with ice cream sandmishes even.

 

mmmm sandmishes...

 

Go get em soundjunky! atleast your issue is logged before your warranty is up.

 

That was my plan too then i installed so much aftermarket parts i just gave up on my warranty

 

lets see if I can remember here all I've had done under warranty;
-two passenger headlights (condensation)
-one drivers side headlight (condensation)
-front bow tie (gold peeling)
-rear bow tie (gold peeling)
-cat back exhaust (split exhaust tip, non servicable on it's own)
-rockers & lifters (noisey, observed during a dealer visit)
-everything from the deck up (after the rockers were done, Jon saw my car start to skoe from the cracked head!)
-rear brake pads (TSB cited to comp me essentially a rear brake job)
-passenger seat belt (set off 'service airbag' SES)
-tire (damaged in-transit)

I think that's about it...

 

this ******* serpentine belt is going to be the death of this truck

 

how so?

 

If I have to get a custom one, it'll **** me right off and I'll probably sell the thing

 

How many ribs is it?
