Irritating, but legit.
Why should I pay advertising fees?

Question, they are offering a GM Protection Plan Major Guard, for $820 for 24 thousand miles. We put about 20-25 K miles a year. Is this a good price for such a plan, I was told by the finance manager that all those plans on the internet are either in bankruptcy or in receivership, so their prices are suspect. Anyone have any insight? thanks...
However I would only go with a GM warranty in the future, as I have has some problems recently and they claim everything is at factory specs even the engine knock, I also have a terrible antifreeze leak which they can't find, and the aftermarket company is not authorizing the dealer to open the engine and find it , where as a GM factory would cover it (at least accoeding to my dealer),Which also answers the life expectancy of these trucks, I don't believe they are well made and thankfully mine's a lease , that i wanted to buy but I guess I'll get a newer one...
I'm confused. Why does the dealer need authorization from an aftermarket company to open the engine?
And, the only leaks I know of that are hard to find can hardly be called terrible. The slow leaks are the ones that are hard to find. To me, terrible implies something bordering on gushing which should be rather conspicuous.
Perhaps you mean terrible in the sense that it's hard to find and you aren't characterizing the leak itself. But then, a terrible leak ... that's hard to find would be redundant.

One option is to get the thing figured out and fixed and then go after the warranty company for reimbursement....
By the way, which warranty company is it?
As far as the temp mirror issue--jgmilberg is correct; dealer has ordered a replacement mirror. Hopefully by replacing it, the dealer won't wind up breaking something else, like OnStar...it never fails--you fix one thing but wind up breaking something else in the process.
Also will have the fog switch/rear wiper jump and the BCM battery drain issues taken care of at the same time the mirror is replaced...
I am new to the board, but I was hoping someone could help me. My husband and I are trying to decide between the '03 Suburban LT v. Yukon XL and I was wondering what any opinions or preferences were for either one and what the main differences were between them were.
Also, I have an offer from a GM dealer to sell the Yukon XL w/ 1SD package, plus Stabilitrack, Side Airbags, DVD entertainment center, 2nd row bucket leather seats for $39,000. This is about $850 below invoice. This was only a quote based on a hypothetical vehical as one with those exact specs was not available on the lot. They say they can get it in. Does this sound like a good price? Thanks for any help or advice.
(2) Having never owned a 4x4 before, is there anything in particular I need to be looking out for in terms of the 4 wheel drive mechanism or any other associated concerns that may be different from what's needed on a 2wheel drive rig?
(3) Previous owner kept tires (all 4) at 32lbs pressure to provide for smoother ride. Claimed he never carried heavy loads. Sticker inside door recommends keeping tires at 45 lbs pressure. Under conditions of light load, is it really a major hazard to keep the tires underinflated by this much? Tires are Firestone Steeltex, most likely the originals, and they seem to be evenly worn with lots of good tread remaining. Are these Firestone tires really all that bad safety-wise? Seems like many contributors to this discussion don't have much good to say about Firestones.
I've got several more questions but I'll cut this off at three for my first entry. Thanks in advance for any feedback!
I think you'll get more replies if you turn off your caps lock! It's easier on the eyes.

Has anyone heard pronounced popping noises in the exhaust system after cold start up? And has anyone heard loud banging noises in exhaust system after hot shut down?
GM has no fix for these problems and calls the noises normal. what a joke! Lets hear your esperiences.
There's at least one older message in this discussion about a similar problem, but I don't see any replies to it off-hand (found with the Advanced Search tool):

I actually saw your earlier postings and have no clue where they have gone. If it's any consolation, one of mine got dropped too. :-(
